My loss may shine yet goodlier than your gain
When time and God give judgment.
Marino Faliero (1885)
Though our works
Find righteous or unrighteous judgment, this
At least is ours, to make them righteous.
Marino Faliero (1885)
A crown and justice? Night and day
Shall first be yoked together.
Marino Faliero (1885)
Make thine eyes wide and give God wondering thanks
That grace like ours is given thee — thou shalt bear
Part of our praise for ever.
Marino Faliero (1885)
No heart shall beat, no foot shall press, no hand
Strain, strive, and strike with steadier will than mine
And faith more strenuous toward the purpose.
Marino Faliero (1885)
God's own hand
Holds fast all issues of our deeds: with him
The end of all our ends is, but with us
Our ends are, just or unjust: though our works
Find righteous or unrighteous judgment, this
At least is ours, to make them righteous. Go.
Marino Faliero (1885)
Your face and heart and speech, being one, require
Of any not base-born and servile-souled
Faith: and my faith I give you.
Marino Faliero (1885)
Being come to flood and fullness now, the tide
Is risen in mine as in the sea's own heart
To tempest and to triumph. Not for nought
Am I that wild wife's bridegroom — old and hoar,
Not sapless yet nor soulless.
Marino Faliero (1885)
What sentence shall be given on mine? Of man,
As ill or well God means me, well or ill
Shall judgment pass upon me : but of God,
If God himself be righteous or be God,
Who being unrighteous were but god of hell,
The sentence given shall judge me just...
Marino Faliero (1885)
