The used-up worn-out Past, we want away,

And make a fresh beginning of stale life.

'In just the place'—does any one object?—

'Where aboriginal gentility

Will scout the upstart, twit him with each trick

Of townish trade-mark that stamps word and deed,

And most of all resent that here town-dross

He daubs with money-color to deceive!'

Rashly objected! Is there not the Church

To intercede and bring benefic truce
