But cursed are dullards whom no cannon stuns, + 

That they should be as stones. + 

Wretched are they, and mean + 

With paucity that never was simplicity. + 

By choice they made themselves immune + 

To pity and whatever mourns in man + 

Before the last sea and the hapless stars; + 

Whatever mourns when many leave these shores; + 

Whatever shares + 

The eternal reciprocity of tears. + 
