CONVICTION. - ZaunköniG - 18.12.2012 Many since Newton's genius brighten'd earth Have sped the track its splendour pointed out But strongly gifted were perchance without That which distinguish'd him, of rarest worth ; Nor was it solely modesty some call That which as veiling clouds before the orb Of light, chasten its beauty, does absorb Meridian rays that else would burning fall ; Who that could look into the sparkling mine Where choicest gems (earth's stars) richly display Various lustre, as with spirit shine, Could think their value he had borno away? And he who glanced at countless wonders knew But gleams of light had darted on th' inquiring view. |
