XVI.

Or like the thief of fire from heaven,

Wilt thou withstand the shock?

And share with him, the unforgiven,

His vulture and his rock!

Foredoomed by God-by man accurst,

And that last act, though not thy worst,
The very Fiend's arch mock;t

He in his fall preserv'd his pride,

And, if a mortal, had as proudly died!
