There are, whose eyes discern the secret springs

Which lie beneath the desert, and the gold

And gems within earth’s caverns, far below

The everlasting hills: but who hath dared

To dream that heaven’s most awful attribute

Invested his mortality, and to boast

That through its inmost folds his glance could read

One heart, one human heart? Why, then, to love

And trust is but to lend a traitor arms

Of keenest temper and unerring aim,
