Resolution
I see the work of others, and my heart Sinks as my own achievement I compare. I will not be irresolute, nor despair, But battle strongly for my struggling art Convinced against conviction that my part Equally with my masters I can bear; Although their monuments are very fair, Enriched with statues, and I stand apart And gaze upon my little heap of stones Which I was given to build with, very few As yet laid into place, but I will lay Blind to these marble monuments and thrones, Building as though I confidently knew My ultimate end,, a stone in place each day.
