Very stuff of my inner self, Toil of spirit and brain and hand; Out of my fires of life, a brand To _re-kindle the ruddy flame For un browher, of any name, Hurt in a weary land. What is my gold? Hell and (damnation if T choose, If I cherish my low desire Warm myself at the sacred fire, Feed my senses, and ease my smart; It will wither and scorch my heart, Sink me in deeps of mire, What is my gold? It is I, by the grace of God. It is I, and will surely show Whether I be a fool or no, !
