For Beauty is Infinity --
And power to be finite ceased
Before Identity was leased.

A little trust -- a demijohn --
Can keep the soul alive --
Not portly, mind!

That gets a Staggering Blow --
The Width of Life -- before it spreads
Without a thing to do --

Not to partake thy passion, my humility.
