“No Spartan tube, no Attic shell,

No lyre Eolian I awake;

’Tis Liberty’s bold note I swell;

Thy harp, Columbia, let me take.”[610]

How natural for the great poet who had pictured the sublime brotherhood of man!—

“Then let us pray that come it may,

As come it will for a’ that,

…

That man to man, the warld o’er,

Shall brothers be for a’ that.”[611]
