How absolute the knave is! we must speak by the card, or equivocation will undo us.
For contemplation he and valour form'd,
For softness she and sweet attractive grace;
He for God only, she for God in him.
His fair large front and eye sublime declar'd
Absolute rule; and hyacinthine locks
Round from his parted forelock manly hung
Clustering, but not beneath his shoulders broad.
Hear you this Triton of the minnows? Mark you
His absolute "shall"?
May I govern my passion with absolute sway,
And grow wiser and better as my strength wears away.
