Inspired by ONE whose very name bespeaks

Favour divine, exalting human love; 5

Whom, since her birth on bleak Northumbria’s coast,

Known unto few but prized as far as known,

A single Act endears to high and low

Through the whole land—to Manhood, moved in spite

Of the world’s freezing cares—to generous Youth— 10

To Infancy, that lisps her praise—to Age

Whose eye reflects it, glistening through a tear

Of tremulous admiration. Such true fame
