Well, here too happier, if not wiser, those

Who, with the heart of unsuspicious youth,

Take up tradition from their fathers’ hands

To pass it on to others in their turn;

But leaving me behind them in the race

With less indeed than little appetite

For ceremonies, and to gods, like these,

That, let the rabble shout for as they please,

Another sort begin to shake their heads at,

And heaven to rumble with uneasily
