XXXIII.
THE DUEL.
I took my power in my hand
And went against the world;
'T was not so much as David had,
But I was twice as bold.
And went against the world;
'T was not so much as David had,
But I was twice as bold.
I aimed my pebble, but myself
Was all the one that fell.
Was it Goliath was too large,
Or only I too small?
Was all the one that fell.
Was it Goliath was too large,
Or only I too small?
