Upon Athenian walls;[BP]

So may she labour for thy civic halls:

And be the guardian spaces

Of consecrated places,

As nobly graced by Sculpture's patient toil;

And let imperishable Columns rise[146]

Fixed in the depths of this courageous soil;[BQ]

Expressive signals[147] of a glorious strife,

And competent to shed a spark divine

Into the torpid breast of daily life;—
