How due! yet all his good proved ill in me,

And wrought but malice; lifted up so high

I 'sdain'd subjection, and thought one step higher

Would set me highest, and in a moment quit

The debt immense of endless gratitude

So burdensome still paying, still to owe:

Forgetful what from him I still received,

And understood not that a grateful mind

By owing owes not, but still pays, at once

Indebted and discharged; what burden then?
