A Hairy Body, And Arms Stiff With

All Arts His Own, The Hungry Greekling Counts; And Bid Him Mount The Skies, The Skies He Mounts.

No One Becomes Depraved All At Once.

Led On By Impulse, And Blind And Ungovernable Desires.

Seek Not To Shine By Borrow'd Lights Alone.

Rarely They Rise By Virtue's Aid Who Lie Plunged In The Depth Of Helpless Poverty.
