All higher knowledge in her presence falls

Degraded! wisdom in discourse with her

Loses, discount’nanc’d, and like folly shows.

Authority and reason on her wait,

As one intended first, not after made

Occasionally; and to consummate all.

Greatness of mind and nobleness their seat

Build in her, loveliest, and create an awe

About her, as a guard angelic placed.

Milton.
