That,[751] by the thinking mind, have been compelled

To serve the will of feeble-bodied Man.

For with the sense of admiration blends

The animating hope that time may come

When, strengthened, yet not dazzled, by the might

Of this dominion over nature gained,

Men of all lands shall exercise the same

In due proportion to their country's need;

Learning, though late, that all true glory rests,

All praise, all safety, and all happiness,
