To be clear: you *only* need to modify your new (overriding) try
method with the &block notation. The original try method's source code
remains unchanged.

(I hope this is what you want. If you can't modify the source code for
your overriding method, I'm not sure how you would intend to use any
code that would pass the block along. :)
