“How learned he bitter songs of lost Iambe,
Or that a cup-shaped breast is nothing vile?”

“Hath not the morning dawned with added light?
And shall not evening call another star
Out of the infinite regions of the night,
To mark this day in Heaven? At last, we are
A nation among nations; and the world
Shall soon behold in many a distant port
Another flag unfurled!”
