Shall I ope my box of legends, And my chest where lays are treasured? Is the ball to be unravelled, And the bundle's knot unfastened? 90 Then I'll sing so grand a ballad, That it wondrously shall echo, While the ryebread I am eating, And the beer of barley drinking. ...

... if I durst! But I sink the pretension as fearing a man may o'ertake God's own speed in the one way of love; I abstain for love's sake. —What, my soul? see thus far and no farther? when doors great and small, Nine-and-ninety flew ope at our touch, should the hundredth 265 appall?
