First lines
'All men, each one, beneath the sun. / I hate, shall hate, till life is done. / But of all men one, till my race is run. / And all the rest for the sake of one!
'If God stood there, revealed full bare. / I would laugh to scorn his love or care,-- / Nay, in despair, I would pray a prayer / Which He needs must grant--if a God He were!
