APPEOPKIATENESS. - ZaunköniG - 18.12.2012
La sagesse is oft evidenced by those
Who condemn an inaptitude for what
Nature herself withheld — requisite thought,
Unknowing th' opposite oft brightly glows ;
Reminding of him fine history paints
Disregarded as feebly unpossess'd
Of enlightening, which the mental breast
Gifts with a panacea for life's complaints,
Who, as Archimides' /oKouxr, proved
An excelling competency ; — the steed,
That late on fair Thessalian plains had roved
Would, unacknowledged have lost his meed,
Liberty unattain'd, if absent one
Estimating th' eagle vision could brook the sun.
