SONNET XLIV. Two Sketches attempted, which will only be understood well by him who acknowledges their likeness to himself.
1st Oct. 1807.
Hard is his lot, who wheresoe'er he turns,
No fellow-feeling finds! whom social glee
Never exhilarates; whose heart ne'er burns
With infant loves;—nor tears of sympathy,
Nor playful smiles,—to other men as free
As air or light of heaven—are his; who yearns
With impotent, and pining jealousy,
As other men appear to seem and be,
While mockery's withering grin the novice spurns;
And sleek prosperity's unthinking sneer
Dashes the trembling effort ere matur'd:—
Shrinks the chill'd baffled heart, as if the fear
Of unforgiven guilt, and unabjur'd
Pursued;—for self-applause, with healthful cheer,
Ne'er comes where mental misery is endured.
