But soon he knew himself the most unfit[gu]

Of men to herd with Man, with whom he held

Little in common; untaught to submit

His thoughts to others, though his soul was quelled

In youth by his own thoughts; still uncompelled,

He would not yield dominion of his mind

To Spirits against whom his own rebelled,

Proud though in desolation—which could find

A life within itself, to breathe without mankind.
