And underneath the Mount, a Flower I know,

He cannot have perceived, that changes ever

At his approach: and, in the lost endeavor

To live his life, has parted, one by one,

With all a flower's true graces, for the grace

Of being but a foolish mimic sun,

With ray-like florets round a disk-like face.

Men nobly call by many a name the Mount

As over many a land of theirs its large

Calm front of snow like a triumphal targe
