XCbc Dolce of INOWI.KDCK. thou lair hand-roaldof wisdom With unloosed sandals we bow, | To supplicate In our humility A |ir«l from off thy Crowned brow. Stretch forth thy hand of arrowy purity Ami y.raap from wisdom' altar a glowing coal. That wc may Inhale the mySerin of thing unicoown Kvaporating from its in moat shining aoul. Kugatf us. trailing hand-maid. with one look of thine Keflectcd from the mystcriousneas of thy sovereign lord That those enlightening rays may strike deep In our souls To raise u up o bit and yet to serve their ward, t.'iter but a word of encouragement o'er the abyss That we may rival each with each e'en for the echo. A warrior hold, and not indeed is hr far off from fame Who galneth such a gift, the least thou const bestow. Unthroned Wisdom, forbid it not thy hand-maid. Kathrr bid her grant our souls' profound desire. Thy realm i« far uplifted a tire heavens from earth. And yet doth Cod In heaven our wish inspire. We are thy subject , and thou, Wisdom, art our king; Andtbou, too. Knowledge, art our governor. We wrangle here to catch a glimpse of our mysterious king. Repealing acts set forth by our progenitor. 30 the Senior Wf bend amt sway beneath thy Kejiter strokes As rye stalks‘fore a frowning cloud. And oft-times lacking for a warning word Drop to abyssal deplh within thy shroud. Again we grasp and percbaoce we catch a fringe Out hanging from thy robe of samite pure. There lingering faint we draw oor fellows up To bind them fast upon thy lofty moor. Hut who can hope to take his aspiriog seat Kven at thy feet, fair ha ml-maid, if he be An intruder trying to steal thy priceless gilts Bestowed by that fair hand of knowledge on thee. To serve for thee, fair Knowledge, is our plea, I'or servants are served most royally, serving there Where btlss is mutual, and each seeker finds his bliss Within a circle small, of such an object rare. Bring us to the fountain-head of Pierian springs That we may drink the depth thereof and feel Therrin the freshness of those wondrous waters rare Kmbibed with truths unknown, sent from above. Por we have now heeu folly made aware. By gating on thy pomp and splendrous glory. That tolearn what mortals learn upon this earth Is but to learn llic vastnrsa of thy story.
