Then climb the mountains, scale the rocks,

Force op'n the deep's eternal locks,

Beseech the clifts to lend an ear—

50Obdurate they, and will not hear.

What? ne'er a cavern, ne'er a grot,

To cover from the common lot?

No quite forgotten hold, to lie

Obscur'd, and pass the reck'ning by?

No—There's a quick all-piercing Eye

Can through the Earth's dark centre pry,
