1. What constitutes[304] a State?
Not high raised battlements[305] or labored mound,[306]
Thick wall or moated[307] gate;
Nor cities proud, with spires and turrets[308] crowned;
Not bays and broad-armed ports,
Where, laughing at the storm, rich navies[309] ride;
Not starred and spangled courts,
Where low-browed baseness[310] wafts perfume to pride.
2. No; men, high-minded[311] men,
With powers as far above dull brutes endued[312],
