Tanfo major famae sifus es! quam Vz'rfafz1s, Quis enim fvirfafem amplecfifur ipsam Praemia si Iollas. ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' Semifa cerfe Tranquillae per 'virfufem pate! :mica fvlfae. Pkikikikllfilflfifvlf 'le So much the raging thirst of Fame exceeds The generous warmth which prompts to worthy deeds, That none confess fair virtuels generous power, Or woo her to their breasts without a dower. ' Here bound at length thy wishes 3 I but teach What blessing man, by his own power, may reach. The path 'to peace is virtue. The endless ti-de of years rolls on -away, And leaves behind its transient, passing spray. Beneath the genial moisture of its dew Kingdoms and empires into being grew, And sawey the world : each day beholds them fall Into decay's embrace and ruin's thrall. They rise and pass away : mankind, the surge 'Neath which they sink and fromuwhich they emerge, Today reveals them clothed in wealth and power 3 Tomorrow gone l destroyed within an hour. Where, where art thou, Athena, 'neath whose rod Nations have trembled as before a god P Alas l thou scarce canst boast of being free, And nations scorn thee who have bent the knee Before thy power, and decay now plays Amid the glories he cannot erase. 181

Thy glories l whence have all these glories sprung That have for ages ever round thee clung P Whence springs all glory of this changeful sphere P Hark l now a voice replies, soft, faint, yet clear : The power that stirs the restless human breast To follow glorylr bright, empyreal crest Is but to win a name 5 an empty name To sound a monument through the lists of Fame. Strange is the spirit and the mind of man, And strange the thoughts and hopes that crowd the span Of their existence. In their depths, unseen As that 'neath Etna's sloping breast of green, Forever preys a fire, a galling flame. Which years may strive, and vainly strive, to tame. Deep - deep - unseen, within the human breast Forever lurks a demon of unrest, Whose endless whisperings allure the soul And weigh it down into his fell control. What, then, avails meek virtue's warning cry P 'Tis naught I unheard, or passed unheeded by. Man throws his soul, heart, passions in the toil For glory, wins, and what the paltry spoil P A fancied crown of laurel, which, though green, Fades on the wave of time and sinks unseen. Oh l Fame, thou goddess from whose stars is shed A A glare that dazzles all thou hast misled, What are thy charms P canst thou revive the brave Who sleep within the hero's verdant grave P Canst thou restore the feeble breath 'that's fied, Or calm the dying brow, or cheer the dead P Or to the blackened clime restore the green Of former days and each remembered scene P The hero who hath burst the stream of life In marshaled thousands, turning from the strife I-Iastes to his cottage by the Tiber's shore, But Ends, alas l it is his home no more. 182 . l .,.,,,.,.
