Henry Hart Milman. 1791-1868.
And the cold marble leapt to life a god.
The Belvedere Apollo.
Too fair to worship, too divine to love.
The Belvedere Apollo.
Charles Sprague. 1791-1875.

Holds its warped mirror to a gaping age.
Curiosity.
Through life's dark road his sordid way he wends,
An incarnation of fat dividends.
Curiosity.
Behold! in Liberty's unclouded blaze
We lift our heads, a race of other days.
Centennial Ode. Stanza 22.
Yes, social friend, I love thee well,
In learned doctors' spite;
Thy clouds all other clouds dispel,
And lap me in delight.
To my Cigar.
