36 YOUTH'S AGITATIONS.

THE WORLD'S TRIUMPHS.

far as I conceive the world's rebuke

To him addressed who would recast her new,

Not from herself her fame of strength she took,

But from their weakness who would work her rue.

"Behold," she cries, "so many rages lulled,

So many fiery spirits quite cooled down;

Look how so many valors, long undulled,

After short commerce with me, fear my frown!
