O loss of sight, of thee I most complain Blind among enemies, O worse than chains, dungeon or beggary, or decrepit age Light, the prime work of God, to me is extinct, and all her various objects of delight annulled, which might in part my grief have eased. Inferior to the vilest now become of man or worm the vilest here excel me, they creep, yet see I, dark in light, exposed to daily fraud, contempt, abuse and wrong, within doors, or without, still as a fool, in power of others, never in my own scarce half I seem to live, dead more than half.
