[“Then know thy place,” (a novice cries]
Not as though I...were already perfect.
—iii. 12.
“Then know thy place,” (a novice cries,
Whose fancy has attain'd the prize,)
“Stand by thyself, nor rank with me,
For I am holier than thee;
Beyond the chief apostle I!
And you, who dare my grace deny,
The proof of my perfection know,
It is—because I think it so!”
