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;
