But here I ask no more, would trust no more To idle chance, but, master of my will, 90 ORELLANA. Wrest from the laws of gross inferior earth My future, and contrive with strenuous care Of my own choice a famous destiny. . . . Would Heaven but give assurance of my wish And of my hope, confirming them to faith That I am free and master of myself. How would the token I entreat in vain Nerve me with triple strength to bend the laws Of nature to my will ! I have been long A veiy tool to other men, w...ith which They smote to their own purposes the chains Which nature would impose; then flung me by, A disregarded and inglorious — fool. " Enough of this ! Hereafter for myself I work— I plan, I live, I joy in freedom ! Chance favours me ; Nature, already tamed, Turns with obsequious smile her sympathy Upon me ; and the stars — if ever stars Registered in their rubric on Heaven's door A lofty deed, may have some trace of mine. Never, — if in obedience to the priest I, backward toiling, bear my own deserts BOOK II.
