Lovers and foes alike; workers of good,

And guilty wretches:—then the statesman’s brain,

Stopp’d in its calculation, and the bard

Sunk by his lyre;—the loud procession

Before the Temple—all the cares of life,

With action and contrivance, through the streets

Thronged multitudinous, in their busy time

Of bustle and magnificence,—and all

Life’s thousands were abroad, and the high sounds

Of civic pomp rose audible from far:—
