To Cyriack Skinner
Cyriak, this three years day these eyes, though clear, To outward view, of blemish or of spot, Bereft of light, their seeing have forgot; Nor to their idle orbs doth sight appear Of Sun or Moon or Star, throughout the year, Or man or woman. Yet I argue not Against heaven’s hand or will, nor hate a jot Of heart or hope, but still bear upstand steer Right onward. What supports me, dost thou ask? The conscience, friend, to have lost them overplied In liberty’s defense, my noble task, Of which all Europe talks from side to side. This thought might lead me through the word’s vain mask Content, though blind, had I no better guide.
