Nor less intensely bent infernal powers

To mar, than those of light, this end to gain.

Oh, what a scene is here!—Lorenzo, wake!

Rise to the thought; exert, expand thy soul

To take the vast idea: it denies 1052

All else the name of great. Two warring worlds!

Not Europe against Afric; warring worlds!

Of more than mortal! mounted on the wing!

On ardent wings of energy, and zeal,

High hovering o’er this little brand of strife!
