Wherefore, who may! The Poet's mood comes next.

Was he not wishful the poetic vein

"Should pulse within him? Jochanan, thou reck'st

Little of what a generous flood shall soon

Float thy clogged spirit free and unperplexed

"Above dry dubitation! Song 's the boon

Shall make amends for my untoward mistake

That Joshua-like thou couldst bid sun and moon—

"Fighter and Lover,—which for most men make

All they descry in heaven,—stand both stock-still
