Sida 89 - Where low-browed baseness wafts perfume to pride. No : — men, high-minded men, With powers as far above dull brutes endued In forest, brake, or den, As beasts excel cold rocks and brambles rude, — Men who their duties know, But know their rights, and, knowing, dare maintain, Prevent the long-aimed blow, And crush the tyrant while they rend the chain ; These constitute a State ; And sovereign law, that State's collected will, O'er thrones and globes elate Sits empress, crowning good, repressing...

Sida 9 - And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
Sida 90 - O'er thrones and globes elate Sits empress, crowning good, repressing ill. Smit by her sacred frown, The fiend discretion like a vapor sinks ; And e'en the all-dazzling crown Hides his faint rays, and at her bidding shrinks.
