Of passion free play—love and hate like a man;
And gather around thee a mighty dominion
Of venturous thoughts, like the crest-waving van
Of a conquering host. Art old? reputation
And honour shall find thee and pleasures serene,
And a power like to Jove’s, when the fate of the nation
Shall wait on thy word in the hall of the queen.

Blow hot or blow cold, with hearty endeavour
Still witch out a virtue from all that you see;
