Why should our pride make such a stir to be

And be forgot? What good is like to this,

To do worthy the writing, and to write

Worthy the reading and the world’s delight?

Why should our pride make such a stir to be And be forgot? What good is like to this, To do worthy the writing, and to write Worthy the reading and the world’s delight?

What I want, Rosy, is to do worthy the writing⁠—and to write out myself what I have done. A man must work, to do that, my pet.”
