Rich And Various Gems Inlay The Unadorned

Of Calling Shapes, And Beck'ning Shadows Dire, And Airy Tongues That Syllable Men's Names.

From Haunted Spring And Dale Edg'd With Poplar Pale The Parting Genius Is With Sighing Sent.

What Boots It At One Gate To Make Defence, And At Another To Let In The Foe?

In Vain Doth Valour Bleed, While Avarice And Rapine Share The Land.

Law Can Discover Sin, But Not Remove, Save By Those Shadowy Expiations Weak.
