Oh! had I died before that well fought wall, Had some distinguished day renowned my fall, Such as was that when showers of javelins sped, From conquering Troy around Achilles' head.

Oh, had I there, beneath Tydides' hand, That bravest hero of the Grecian ban

infant republics were not like blocks of marble from the quarry, which the artist may group by his design, and gradually transform by the chisel from shapeless masses to the images of his fancy; they resembled living plants, whose inward energies obey the Divine idea without effort or consciousness of will, and unfold simultaneously their whole existence and the rudiments of all their parts, harmonious, beautiful and complete in every period of their growth. Bacon de Augmentis Scientiarum. Lib. VII, cap. II. Quemadmodum enim Statuarius, quando simulacrum aliquod sculpit ant incidit, illius solummodo partis figuram effingit,circa quam manus occupata est, non autem caeterarum, (veluti si faciem efformet, corpus reliquum rude permanet et informe saxum, done ad illud quoque pervenerit) e contra vero natura, quando florem molitur, aut animal, rudimenta partium omnium simul parit et product: eodem modo, etc., etc. Lord Bolingbroke, in his Idea of a Patriot King, translates the words of
