Chapter_1229

’Tis time we should proceed with our good poem⁠—

For I maintain that it is really good,

Not only in the body but the proem,

However little both are understood

Just now⁠—but by and by the Truth will show ’em

Herself in her sublimest attitude:

And till she doth, I fain must be content

To share her beauty and her banishment.
