Than all the gems of Samarcand.

Go boldly forth, my simple lay,
Whose accents flow with artless ease,
Like orient pearls at random strung.[437:2]

On parent knees, a naked new-born child,
Weeping thou sat'st while all around thee smiled;
So live, that sinking in thy last long sleep,
Calm thou mayst smile, while all around thee weep.
From the Persian.
What constitutes a state?
. . . . . . .
Men who their duties know,
But know their rights, and knowing, dare maintain.
. . . . . . .
And sovereign law, that state's collected will,
O'er thrones and globes elate,
Sits empress, crowning good, repressing ill.[438:1]
Ode in Imitation of Alcæus.
Seven hours to law, to soothing slumber seven,
Ten to the world allot, and all to heaven.[438:2]
