"Thy trembling hand and heavy brow Have made this world to be my home; And though I seek to learn and grow, My wonted searching doth me blow From cruel mount to gentle foam -And back again; what Reason can You leave me? What Foundation wise, To stay me as I wax a man And plot course in turbulent skies?" It pains me, Son, to see thee so, To watch thee plunge and flail; To ply the clouds with map nor sail, At mercy of Caprice's blow. But help, alas, I offer not, I give thee naught nor can-The Dream by which my son was got Was free of any plan. The phantoms of my wanton mind Spawned climate of your birth; Nor impetus nor inborn worth Remains for thee to find-Should Reason live, I tell thee take it; Else follow me, my Son, and make it. -25 -
