Of words and acts as such as he possesses.

Yea, when my mind dwells on the what I was,

And that which I now am, an admiration

Sudden and great, comes o’er me at the change,

And the swift transformation thou hast made.

Thou took’st a youth from out his sickly longings,

Vague undefined with musings on this world,

And sick with evil of a shadowed fate,

Dried up his kindness, showed him he was iron,

And gave the keys of cruelty to his hand
