Rh If that Columbus, fronting desperate crews Of mutinous men, with tranquil eyes unmoved From all their high and visionary aim; Landing at last upon another world, Conquer'd from chaos in the power of faith, A blooming world, that seem'd the Paradise Of our first parents in their innocence, And proudly named Columbia to-day— If he, the Navigator, lives for ever In all men's green, and grateful memory; With Raleigh, Gama, Bruce, and Magelhaens— Then surely shall our English Livingstone, Honouring this our own tumultuous time; Heroic with immortal heroism, That burns for ever in humanity; Rouse all the race unto a loftier life!
