its splendid swing and radiant courage, we can see how the subtler brain of Newman was swept by the fire and force of the man who was to him like an inspiration.
‘“Faint not, and fret not for threatened woe,
Watchman on Truth’s grey height!
Few tho’ the faithful and fierce tho’ the foe,
Weakness is aye Heaven’s might.
Infidel Ammon and niggard Tyre,
(Ill-attuned pair!) unite;
Some work for love, and some work for hire;
But weakness shall be Heaven’s might.
