THIS MERIT HATH THE WORST, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: Than it resists — the hound
Subject(s): Fate


This Merit hath the worst -
It cannot be again -
When Fate hath taunted last
And thrown Her furthest Stone -

The Maimed may pause, and breathe,
And glance securely round -
The Deer attracts no further
Than it resists - the Hound
