II	A
	-
Considerabam ad dexteram et videbam et non erat qui cognosceret me	F
	-
When the clouds' swoln bosoms echo back the shouts of the many and	O
strong	P
That things are all as they best may be save a few to be right ere	Q
long	P
And my eyes have not the vision in them to discern what to these is	C
so clear	R
The blot seems straightway in me alone one better he were not here	S
	-
The stout upstanders say All's well with us ruers have nought to	T
rue	T
And what the potent say so oft can it fail to be somewhat true	T
Breezily go they breezily come their dust smokes around their	Q
career	R
Till I think I am one horn out of due time who has no calling here	S
	-
Their dawns bring lusty joys it seems their eves exultance sweet	U
Our times are blessed times they cry Life shapes it as is most	V
meet	U
And nothing is much the matter there are many smiles to a tear	Q
Then what is the matter is I I say Why should such an one be here	S
	-
Let him to whose ears the low voiced Best seems stilled by the clash	W
of the First	X
Who holds that if way to the Better there be it exacts a full look	Y
at the Worst	X
Who feels that delight is a delicate growth cramped by crookedness	C
custom and fear	R
Get him up and be gone as one shaped awry he disturbs the order	Z
here	S

Heu mihi quia incolatus meus prolongatus est Habitavi cum	B
habitantibus Cedar multum incola fuit aninia mea Ps cxix	C
	-
There have been times when I well might have passed and the ending	A2
have come	B
Points in my path when the dark might have stolen on me artless	C
unrueing	A2
Ere I had learnt that the world was a welter of futile doing	A2
Such had been times when I well might have passed and the ending	A2
have come	B
	-
Say on the noon when the half sunny hours told that April was nigh	A
And I upgathered and cast forth the snow from the crocus border	Z
Fashioned and furbished the soil into a summer seeming order	Z
Glowing in gladsome faith that I quickened the year thereby	A
	-
Or on that loneliest of eves when afar and benighted we stood	B2
She who upheld me and I in the midmost of Egdon together	Z
Confident I in her watching and ward through the blackening heather	Z
Deeming her matchless in might and with measureless scope endued	C2
	-
Or on that winter wild night when reclined by the chimney nook	A2
quoin	K
Slowly a drowse overgat me the smallest and feeblest of folk there	Q
Weak from my baptism of pain when at times and anon I awoke there	Q
Heard of a world wheeling on with no listing or longing to join	K
	-
Even then while unweeting that vision could vex or that knowledge	D2
could numb	B
That sweets to the mouth in the belly are bitter and tart and	O
untoward	E2
Then on some dim coloured scene should my briefly raised curtain	K
have lowered	F2
Then might the Voice that is law have said Cease and the ending	A2
have come	B
