The rather, let false pride affect to trample on the treasure

Which evermore in secret strength unconquered Nature prizeth;

Rather, shall ye stifle now the rising bliss of triumph,

Lest after, in the world's Neglect, he must acknowledge bitterness.

For lo, that world is wide, a huge and crowded continent,

Its brazen sun is mammon, and its iron soil is care:

A world full of men, where each man clingeth to his idol;

A world full of men, where each man cherisheth his sorrow;

A world full of men, multitude shoaling upon multitude;

A surging sea, where every wave is burdened with an argosy of self;
