Which is most barbarous is the middle age
Of man! it is—I really scarce know what;

And don’t know justly what we would be at—
A period something like a printed page,
Black letter upon foolscap, while our hair
Grows grizzled, and we are not what we were.”

Of Alexander’s dreadful name,
And all the West likewise did fear
To hear of Julius Caesar’s fame,”
