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