20 "Much do they wrong our Henry, wise and kind,  Morose who name thee, cynical to men. Forsaking manners civil and refined,   To build thyself in Walden woods a den,— Then flout society, flatter the rude hind.   We better knew thee, loyal citizen! Thou, friendship's all-adventuring pioneer,   Civility itself wouldst civilize: While braggart boors, wavering 'twixt rage and fear,   Slave-hearths lay waste and Indian huts surprise, And swift the Martyr's gibbet would uprear;   Thou hail'dst him great whose valorous emprise Orion's blazing belt dimmed in the sky,— Then bowed thy unrepining head to die."
