The breath in them is not the plaster-patch

Time disengages from the painted wall

Where Rafael moulderingly bids adieu,

Nor tick of the insect turning tapestry

Which a queen's finger traced of old, to dust;

But some word, resonant, redoubtable,

Of who once felt upon his head a hand

Whereof the head now apprehends his foot.

"Light in Rome, Law in Rome, and Liberty

O' the soul in Rome—the free Church, the free State!
