- THE CHOICE
-
- The intellect of man is forced to choose
- perfection of the life, or of the work,
- And if it take the second must refuse
- A heavenly mansion, raging in the dark.
- When all that story's finished, what's the news?
- In luck or out the toil has left its mark:
- That old perplexity an empty purse,
- Or the day's vanity, the night's remorse.
