Trills crisp and liquid as the waterfall—

Mocking the trillers in the cherry-trees

And making discord of such rhymes as these,

That know nor lilt nor cadence but the birds

First warbled—then all poets afterwards.

We must get home; and, unremembering there

All gain of all ambition otherwhere,

Rest—from the feverish victory, and the crown

Of conquest whose waste glory weighs us down.—

Fame's fairest gifts we toss back with disdain—
