And is his ardour vain, Lorenzo?—No;

That more than miracle the gods indulge;

To-day is yesterday return'd; return'd

Full-power'd to cancel, expiate, raise, adorn,

And reinstate us on the Rock of peace.

Let it not share its predecessor's fate;

Nor, like its elder sisters, die a fool.

Shall it evaporate in fume? fly off

Fuliginous, and stain us deeper still?

Shall we be poorer for the plenty pour'd?
