Then is the time For those whom wisdom and whom nature charm To steal themselves from the degenerate crowd, And soar above this little scene of things ; To tread low-thoughted vice beneath their feet, To soothe the throbbing passions into peace, And woo lone quiet in her silent walks.
Page 64 - Ay, let them rail, those haughty ones. While safe thou dwellest with thy sons, They do not know how loved thou art, How many a fond and fearless heart Would rise to throw Its life between thee and the foe.
