Seek not the spirit, if it hide
Inexorable to zeal:
Trembler, do not whine and chide:
Art thou also real?
Stoop not then to poor excuse;
Turn the accuser roundly; say,
'Here am I, here will abide
Forever to myself soothfast;
Go thou, sweet Heaven, at thy pleasure stay!'
Already Heaven with thee lot has cast,
For only it can absolutely deal.
