Softening his inbred dignity austere.
If on thy path the world delight to gaze,
Pride of the world—beware! for thou may'st live,
Like Dion, to behold the torch of Praise
Inverted in thy presence, and to give
Proof, for the historian's page and poet's lays,
That Peace, even Peace herself, is fugitive.
[178] 1820.
