in their lone seeking for the road of life
rivals in genius, or emulous in rank
the whole of life but labors in the dark
for just as children tremble
o wretched minds of men, o blinded hearts
in how great perils in what darks of life
the paths of matter, its connections, weights,
blows, clashings, motions, order, structure, shapes
this darkness of the mind
the lamps ablaze, the lights
doth glitter not with gold
which well perceived if thou will hold in mind
then nature delivered from her haughty lord
and forthwith free is seen to do all things
herself and through herself of own accord
o wretched minds of men, o blinded hearts
in how great perils in what darks of life
