In what I do I note the marring flaw, / The imperfections of the work I see; / Nor am I one who rather _do_ than _be_, / Since its reversal is Creation's law.

Nay, since there lies a better and a worse, / A lesser and a larger, in men's view, / I would be better than the thing I do, / As God is greater than His universe.
