Eternity depending covers all;
Eternity depending all achieves; 580
Sets earth at distance; casts her into shades;
Blends her distinctions; abrogates her powers;
The low, the lofty, joyous, and severe,
Fortune’s dread frowns, and fascinating smiles,
Make one promiscuous and neglected heap,
The man beneath; if I may call him man,
Whom immortality’s full force inspires.
Nothing terrestrial touches his high thought;
