—Blest as they are—to furnish a reply,
That satisfies and ends in perfect rest. 685
Possessions have I that are solely mine,
Something within which yet is shared by none,
Not even the nearest to me and most dear,
Something which power and effort may impart,
I would impart it, I would spread it wide, 690
Immortal in the world which is to come.
Forgive me if I add another claim,
And would not wholly perish even in this,
