Indignantly—resolved to be a man,

Who, having o'er the past no power, would live

No longer in subjection to the past,

With abject mind—from a tyrannic lord

Inviting penance, fruitlessly endured:

So, like a fugitive, whose feet have cleared

Some boundary, which his followers may not cross

In prosecution of their deadly chase,

Respiring I looked round.—How bright the sun,

The breeze how soft! Can any thing produced[274]
