I have not crossed your glory�察�though I might If I saw thrones at auction。 

       HAMILTON 

       Yes�察�you might。 If war is on the way�察�I shall be  here�察�And I've no 

vision of your distant heels。 

       BURR 

     I see that I shall take an inference To bed with me to´night to keep me 

warm。 I thank you�察�Hamilton�察�and I approve Your fealty to the aggregated 

greatness Of him you lean on while he leans on you。 

       HAMILTON 

     This easy phrasing is a game of yours That you may win to lose。 I beg 

your pardon�察�But you that have the sight will not employ The will to see 

with it。 If you did so�察�There might be fewer ditches dug for others In your 

perspective�察  �and   there   might   be   fewer   Contemporary   motes   of   prejudice 

Between   you   and   the   man   who   made   the   dust。   Call   him   a   genius   or   a 

gentleman�察�A prophet or a builder�察�or what not�察�But hold your disposition 

off   the   balance�察�And   weigh   him   in   the   light。   Once   ��I   believe   I   tell   you 

nothing new to your surmise�察�Or to the tongues of towns and villages�� I 

nourished with an adolescent fancy  Surely forgivable to you�察�my friend 

 An innocent and amiable conviction That I was�察�by the grace of honest 

fortune�察   �A   savior  at  his  elbow   through    the  war�察 �Where     I  might  have 

observed�察�more than I did�察�Patience and wholesome passion。 I was there�察�

And for such honor I gave nothing worse Than some advice at which he 

may   have   smiled。   I   must   have   given   a   modicum   besides�察  �Or   the   rough 

interval between those days And these would never have made for me my 

friends�察�Or enemies。 I should be something somewhere  I say not what  

but I should not be here If he had not been there。 Possibly�察�too�察�You might 

not  or that Quaker with his cane。 

       BURR 

    Possibly�察  �too�察  �I   should。   When   the   Almighty   Rides   a   white   horse�察  �I 

fancy we shall know it。 

       HAMILTON 

     It was a man�察�Burr�察�that was in my mind�察�No god�察�or ghost�察�or demon ´ 

´ only a man�此�A man whose occupation is the need Of those who would 

not feel it if it bit them�察�And one who shapes an age while he endures The

pin pricks of inferiorities�察�A cautious man�察�because he is but one�察�A lonely 

man�察�because he is a thousand。 No marvel you are slow to find in him The 

genius that is one spark or is nothing�此�His genius is a flame that he must 

hold So far above the common heads of men That they may view him only 

through the mist Of their defect�察�and wonder what he is。 It seems to me the 

mystery that is in him That makes him only more to me a man Than any 

other I have ever known。 

       BURR 

    I grant you that his worship is a man。 I'm not so much at home with 

mysteries�察�May be�察�as you  so leave him with his fire�此�God knows that I 

shall never put it out。 He has not made a cripple of himself In his pursuit 

of me�察�though I have heard His condescension honors me with parts。 Parts 

make a whole�察�if we've enough of them�察�And once I figured a sufficiency 

To   be   at   least   an   atom   in   the   annals   Of   your   republic。   But   I   must   have 

erred。 

       HAMILTON 

    You smile as if your spirit lived at ease With error。 I should not have 

named     it  so�察 �Failing  assent   from   you�察  �nor�察 �if  I  did�察 �Should  I  be  so 

complacent in my skill To comb the tangled language of the people As to 

be sure of anything in these days。 Put that much in account with modesty。 

       BURR 

    What in the name of Ahab�察�Hamilton�察�Have you�察�in the last region of 

your dreaming�察�To do with ;people;�拭�You may be the devil In your dead´ 

reckoning of what reefs and shoals Are waiting on the progress of our ship 

Unless you steer it�察�but you'll find it irksome Alone there in the stern�察�and 

some warm day There'll be an inland music in the rigging�察�And afterwards 

on deck。 I'm not affined Or favored overmuch at Monticello�察�But there's a 

mighty swarming of new bees About the premises�察�and all have wings。 If 

you   hear   something   buzzing   before   long�察  �Be   thoughtful   how   you   strike�察�

remembering also There was a fellow Naboth had a vineyard�察�And Ahab 

cut his hair off and went softly。 

       HAMILTON 

    I don't remember that he cut his hair off。 

       BURR

     Somehow I rather fancy that he did。 If so�察�it's in the Book�察�and if not so�察�

He did the rest�察�and did it handsomely。 

       HAMILTON 

     Commend   yourself   to       Ahab   and    his   ways  If   they   inveigle   you  to 

emulation�察�But where�察�if I may ask it�察�are you tending With your invidious 

wielding of the Scriptures�拭�You call to mind   an eminent archangel Who 

fell   to  make   him   famous。     Would   you    fall   So  far  as   he�察 �to   be  so  far 

remembered�拭�

       BURR 

     Before   I   fall   or   rise�察  �or   am   an   angel�察  �I   shall   acquaint   myself   a   little 

further With our new land's new language�察�which is not  Peace to your 

dreams      an   idiom   to   your   liking。   I'm   wondering   if   a   man   may   always 

know   How   old   a   man   may   be   at   thirty´seven�察  �I   wonder   likewise   if   a 

prettier time Could be decreed for a good man to vanish Than about now 

for you�察�before you fade�察�And even your friends are seeing that you have 

had   Your   cup   too   full   for   longer   mortal   triumph。   Well�察  �you   have   had 

enough�察�and had it young�察�And the old wine is nearer to the lees Than you 

are to the work that you are doing。 

       HAMILTON 

     When does this philological excursion Into new lands and languages 

begin�拭�

       BURR 

     Anon      that   is�察  �already。   Only   Fortune   Gave   me   this   afternoon   the 

benefaction Of your blue back�察�which I for love pursued�察�And in pursuing 

may   have   saved   your   life    Also   the   world   a   pounding   piece   of   news�此�

Hamilton   bites   the   dust   of   Washington�察  �Or   rather   of   his   horse。   For   you 

alone�察�Or for your fame�察�I'd wish it might have been so。 

       HAMILTON 

     Not every man among us has a friend So jealous for the other's fame。 

How long Are you to diagnose the doubtful case Of Demos  and what for�拭�

Have you a sword For some new Damocles�拭�If it's for me�察�I have lost all 

official   appetite�察  �And   shall   have   faded�察  �after   January�察  �Into   the   law。   I'm 

going to New York。 

       BURR

    No matter where you are�察�one of these days I shall come back to you 

and tell you something。 This Demos�察�I have heard�察�has in his wrist A pulse 

that no two doctors have as yet Counted and found the same�察�and in his 

mouth A tongue that has the like alacrity For saying or not for saying what 

most it   is That pullulates in his ignoble  mind。 One of   these days   I  shall 

appear again�察�To tell you more of him and his opinions�察�I shall not be so 

long    out  of  your   sight�察 �Or   take  myself    so  far�察 �that  I  may  not�察  �Like 

Alcibiades�察�come back again。 He went away to Phrygia�察�and fared ill。 

       HAMILTON 

     There's   an   example   in   Themistocles�此  �He   went   away   to   Persia�察  �and 

fared well。 

       BURR 

     So�拭�Must I go so far�拭�And if so�察�why so�拭�I had not planned it so。 Is this 

the road I take�拭�If so�察�farewell。 

       HAMILTON 

       Quite so。 Farewell。

     Though for your sake I would not have you now So near to me tonight 

as   now   you   are�察  �God   knows   how   much   a   stranger   to   my  heart Was   any 

cold word that I may have written�察�And you�察�poor woman that I made my 

wife�察�You have had more of loneliness�察�I fear�察�Than I  though I have been 

the most alone�察�Even when the most attended。 So it was God set the mark 

of   his   inscrutable   Necessity   on   one   that   was   to   grope�察  �And   serve�察  �and 

suffer�察�and withal be glad For what was his�察�and is�察�and is to be�察�When his 

old bones�察�that are   a burden now�察�Are saying what the man who   carried 

them Had not the power to say。 Bones in a grave�察�Cover them as they will 

with choking earth�察�May shout the truth to men who put them there�察�More 

than all orators。 And so�察�my dear�察�Since you have cheated wisdom for the 

sake Of sorrow�察�let your sorrow be for you�察�This last of nights before the 

last of days�察�The lying ghost of what there is of me That is the most alive。 

There is no death For me in what they do。 Their death it is They should 

heed   most   when   the   sun   comes   again   To   make   them   solemn。   There   are 

some   I   know   Whose   eyes   will   hardly   see   their   occupation�察  �For   tears   in 

them  and all for one old man�察�For some of them will pity this old man�察�

Who took upon himself the work of God Because he pitied millions。 That 

will be For them�察�I fancy�察�their compassionate Best way of saying what is 

best in them To say�察�for they can say no more than that�察�And they can do 

no more than what the dawn Of one more day shall give them light enough
