| 181. Man |
| I KNOW my soul hath power to know all things, | |
| Yet she is blind and ignorant in all: | |
| I know I'm one of Nature's little kings, | |
| Yet to the least and vilest things am thrall. | |
| I know my life 's a pain and but a span; | 5 |
| I know my sense is mock'd in everything; | |
| And, to conclude, I know myself a Man— | |
| Which is a proud and yet a wretched thing. |
