To do a nobler office. Generous minds
Behold thee, and are moved and learn to rise
Above earth's frivolous pleasures; they partake
Thy grandeur at the utterance of thy name.

Dost overwhelm the soul of him who looks
Upon thee, and dost bear it from itself,—
Whence hast thou thy beginning? Who supplies,
Age after age, thy unexhausted springs?
