Who, in the bodily image, in the mind,

In heart or soul, in station or pursuit,

Did most resemble him. Degrees and ranks,

Fraternities and orders—heaping high

New wealth upon the burthen of the old,

And placing trust in privilege confirmed

And re-confirmed—are scoffed at with a smile

Of greedy foretaste, from the secret stand

Of Desolation, aimed: to slow decline

These yield, and these to sudden overthrow:
