That in the very refuse of thy deeds
There is such strength and warrantise of skill
That, in my mind, thy worst all best exceeds?

You were us'd
To say extremities was the trier of spirits;

That when the sea was calm all boats alike
Show'd mastership in floating; fortune's blows,
When most struck home, being gentle wounded craves
A noble cunning.

So out of thought, and thereto so o'ergrown,
Cannot be questioned.
