How they are provided for upon the earth, appearing at intervals;
How dear and dreadful they are to the earth;
How they inure to themselves as much as to any—What a paradox appears

How all times mischoose the objects of their adulation and reward,
And how the same inexorable price must still be paid for the same great
purchase.
