Page:Pacchiarotto and how he worked in distemper; with other poems - Browning (1876).djvu/89

"Such things should so be!"
 Sage our desistence!
Rough-smooth let globe be,
 Mixed—man's existence!

4.
Man—wise and foolish,
 Lover and scorner,
Docile and mulish—
 Keep each his corner!
Honey yet gall of it!
 There's the life lying,
And I see all of it,
 Only, I'm dying!
