“Dug from the tomb of taste-refining time,
Each form is exquisite, each block sublime.

All art, is at its resurrection sav’d;
All crown’d with glory in the critic’s heav’n,
Each merit magnified, each fault forgiven.”

“I fear no foe with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weights, and tears no bitterness;”
