[The Princess; A Medley.]
[Lines not used in the final version.]
Go help the half-brain'd dwarf, Society,To find low motives unto noble deeds,
To fix all doubt upon the darker side;
265
Old talker, haunt where gossip breeds and seethes
And festers in provincial sloth! and you
That think we sought to practise on a life
Risked for our own, and trusted to our hands,
What say you, Sir? you hear us; deem ye not
'Tis all too like that even now we scheme,
In one broad death confounding friend and foe,
To drug them all? revolve it; you are man,
And therefore no doubt wise; but after this
We brook no further insult but are gone.
