GLORY. 



The laurel only to adorn 

 The conqueror and the poet. 



Drayto*. 



SENTIMENT. 



Ambition! ambition! I 've laughed to scorn 



Thy robe and thy gleaming sword; 

 I would follow sooner a woman's eye, 



Or the spell of a gentle word. 

 But come with the glory of human mind, 



And the light of the scholar's brow, 

 And my heart shall be taught forgetfulnesa, 



And alone at thy altar bow. 



FFIOfc. 



ANSWER. 



It is wonderful, 



That man should hold himself so haughtily, 

 And talk of an immortal name, and feed 

 His proud ambition with such daring hopes 

 As creatures of a more eternal nature 

 Alone should form.
