2 To fund a feeling for the world to borrow;
3To turn a tear to printer's ink;
4 To make a sonnet of a sorrow.
Notes
1] This the first quatrain in "A Triplet of Quatrains." The second is "Ego-theism":
This trouble seems to beand the third "The Mystery of Evil":
Chief in theology:
Each thinks the hymn should be, --
Nearer, my God, to Thee.
The rake upon a wanton wastes the wilesBack to Line
Which dazzle innocence.
The nettle guards itself; the lily smiles
Unheedful of defence.
