Grant me an old man's frenzy, Myself must I remakeTill I am

Grant me an old man's frenzy, Myself must I remakeTill I am Timon and LearOr that William BlakeWho beat upon the wallTill Truth obeyed his call;A mind Michael Angelo knewThat can pierce the clouds,Or inspired by frenzyShake the dead in their shrouds;Forgotten else by mankind,An old man's eagle mind.
