Wan victim of a solitary thought

Too masculine to die unrealized.

Tortured with tortuous diplomacy,

Beseeching monarchs still in vain besought,

Not to give kingdoms but to take a world,

Unloved of Fortune, best beloved of Hope,—

When Doria was a lisping boy at school,—

This wanderer puts forth one summer morn,

Among the other fishers of the sea,

And with a world returns.
