material, but by wisdom, Truth, and Love. [25]

Go gaze on the eagle, his eye on the sun,

Fast gathering strength for a flight well begun,

As rising he rests in a liberty higher

Than genius inflated with worldly desire.

No tear dims his eye, nor his pinions lose power [30]

To gaze on the lark in her emerald bower—

Whenever he soareth to fashion his nest,

No vision more bright than the dream in his breast.
