A Ring of Gyges.Because that Fate was kind to me,I was afraid of my kind fate ;And flung my ring in the blue sea,Where now I stand and wait.And storm and shine flit by apaceOver my jewel’s resting-place.The appeased gods dwell unansweringly ;It comes not back to me.Now, am I blest, or am I curst ?More sad or glad than the fabled king ?Sometimes I think Fate’s best or worstWere naught against my ring.My ring, my ring, that held alwayIts illumined heart by night and day !Without it I am old and cold,In ermine and in gold.
