HE WONDERS ABOUT HIMSELF VEXED, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: No use hoping, or feeling vext
Last Line: And a fair desire fulfil?


NO use hoping, or feeling vext,
Tugged by a force above or under
Like some fantocine, much I wonder
What I shall find me doing next!

Shall I be rushing where bright eyes be?
Shall I be suffering sorrows seven?
Shall I be watching the stars of heaven,
Thinking one of them looks like thee?

Part is mine of the general Will,
Cannot my share in the sum of sources
Bend a digit the poise of forces,
And a fair desire fulfil?
