Description
Excerpt from Gold<br/><br/>All hail, bright Gold! Thou thing of lowly birth, At once the sovereign and the slave of earth! Doomed to enchantment by a distant view, Behold, at last, the Muse yields homage due Forgets the slights her wretched sons bemoan, Attunes her lyre, and kneels at Mammon's throne. Protean power! Who shall thy history tell? What age, what arm first broke thy prison cell? Before the ?ood, who saw thy splendors shine, And wondering bore thee from the murky mine? Wast thou unknown, a thing obscure and vain, When rang the anvils of stout Tubal-cain? Or didst thou deck the young World's wicked pride What time it perished in the whelming tide? Ah, sure, when Babel reared its impious head, Thou still didst slumber in thy native bed.
