Than Timoleon's arms require, And Tully's curule chair, and Milton's golden lyre.

More from Mark Akenside

  1. The man forget not, though in rags he lies, And know the mortal through a crown's disguise.
  2. Such and so various are the tastes of men.
  3. Seeks painted trifles and fantastic toys, And eagerly pursues imaginary joys.
