  'Let us ponder, friend: Whate'er our state we must have made it first; And though the thing displease us, ay, perhaps Displease us warrantably, never doubt Rejected by the instinct of our lives, If then adopted had displeased us more

  Than this on which the choice, the will, the love, Has stamped the honour of a patent act From henceforth. What we choose may not be good, But, that we choose it, proves it good for us Potentially, fantastically, now Or last year, rather than a thing we saw, And saw no need for choosing. Moths will burn Their wings--which proves that light is good for moths, Who else had flown not where they agonise.'
