But if you place me among the lyric bards, I shall touch the stars with my exalted head.

For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

I shall not altogether die.

And once more yet (ere I am laid out dead)Knock at a star with my exalted head

The Eighth Commandment was not made for bards

Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
