Excerpt from Shelley the Death of St. Polycarp, and Other Poems"He had a gentle yet aspiring mind, Just, innocent, with varied learning fed, And such as glorious consolation findIn others' joy, when all their own is dead:He lived, and laboured for his kind in grief, And yet, unlike all others, it is said, That from such toil he never found relief.Although a child of fortune and of power, Of an ancestral name the orphan chief, His soul had wedded wisdom, and her dowerIs love and justice." Prince Athanase."Our toil from thought all glorious forms shall cull, To make this Earth, our home, more beautiful, And Science, and her sister Poesy, Shall clothe in light the fields and cities of the free!" The Revolt op Islam."In love, and beauty, and delight, There is no death nor change, their mightExceeds our organs, which endureNo light, being themselves obscure."
