By ignorant demagogues is held in fee,

The grand Greek limbs of young Democracy

Beckoned me thence to this ideal State,

Where maiden fields of life Hellenic wait

For one who in clear culture walks apart

(Avoiding all rude clamors of the mart

That mar his calm) to sow the seeds of great

Growths yet to be—the love of sacred Art,

And Beauty, of this breast queen consecrate,

Whose throne mean Science seeks to violate;
