Then should I hold my new-found seat secure,

Without a thought of Saturn, or that Hour

Which sets a term e'en to Olympian pow'r.

But what if like a boomerang, it fly

Back to my hand, or, worse, into mine eye?

Ah, Ganymede, Jupiter Tonans seems

A splendid part, in young ambition's dreams,

But, Ganymede, who would aspire, I wonder,

To be a Jove who's half afraid to thunder?

With doubts about the handling of my bolt,
