Honour demands my song. Forget the ground

My generous muse, and sit among the stars!

There sing the soul that, conscious of her birth,

Lives like a native of the vital world

Amongst these dying clods, and bears her state

Just to herself: how nobly she maintains

Her character, superior to the flesh,

She wields her passions like her limbs, and knows

The brutal powers were born but to obey.

Watts.
