“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]
