Pàgina 255 - Two of far nobler shape, erect and tall, Godlike erect, with native honour clad, In naked majesty seemed lords of all : And worthy seemed ; for in their looks divine The image of their glorious Maker shone, Truth, wisdom, sanctitude severe and pure (Severe, but in true filial freedom placed,) Whence true authority in men...
