Had I presumed to hope - The loss had been to Me A Value - for the Greatness'Sake - As Giants - gone away - Had I presumed to gain A Favor so remote - The failure but confirm the Grace In further Infinite -
'Tis failure - not of Hope - But resolute Despair - Advancing on Celestial Lists - With faint - Terrestrial power -
'Tis Honor - though I die - For That no Man obtain Till He be justified by Death - This - is the Second Gain.
