[Man of the world, O God, am I?]

Thou, O man of God, flee these things. —vi. 11.

Man of the world, O God, am I?
To Thee, O God, if I belong,
From all the happiness I fly
Of the poor, blind, deluded throng;
What men esteem I cannot prize,
I cannot wish what men desire,
Or coolly plunge with open eyes
In unextinguishable fire.
