Poems descriptive, dramatic, legendary and contemplative | ||
[I. Not in the rashness of warm confidence]
Not in the rashness of warm confidence,Too vainly, self-assured that I was strong,
To struggle for and reach that eminence,
Around whose rugged steeps such terrors throng;
Did I resolve upon the perilous toil
Which calls for man's best strength and hardihood,
Ere he may win the height and take the spoil;—
But that a spirit stronger than my mood,
Stood ever by and drave me to the task!—
Oh! not in vain presumption did I choose
119
Sure that no favor from them did I ask;
Small resolution did it need of mine,
To bind me to the service of the Muse!
