Even so; but measuring not by finite sense
Infinite Power, perfect Intelligence.
XI[207]
“AH, THINK HOW ONE COMPELLED FOR LIFE TO ABIDE”
Ah, think how one compelled for life to abide
Locked in a dungeon needs must eat the heart
Out of his own humanity, and part
With every hope that mutual cares provide;
And, should a less unnatural doom confide 5
In life-long exile on a savage coast,
Soon the relapsing penitent may boast
