LXXXII

In boyhood bright beneath the Grecian sun,

I saw him stand, intent his race to run—

To touch the golden goal of thought and art,

And daring all man since hath dared or done.

Freely he gave, and she so dowered his land,

That still that fond world takes it for her glass,

And gazes, leaving knowledge and command.
