There is no danger to a man that knows What life and death is: there’s not any law Exceeds his knowledge : neither is it lawful That he should stoop to any other law. Chapman.

So now my summer-task is ended, Mary, And I return to thee, mine own heart’s home ; As to his Queen some victor Knight of Faery, Earning bright spoils for her enchanted dome. Nor thou disdain that, ere my fame become A star among the stars of mortal night (If it indeed may cleave its natal gloom), Its doubtful promise thus I would unite With thy beloved name, thou child of love and light.
