We are two lions litter’d in one day,

And I the elder and more terrible.

No more in soldier fashion will he greet

With lifted hand the gazer in the street.

Before the starry threshold of Jove’s court

My mansion is, where those immortal shapes

Of bright aerial spirits lived inspher’d

In regions mild of calm and serene air.

Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer

The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
