IMMORTAL! Ages past, yet nothing gone!
Morn without eve! a race without a goal,
Unshorten'd by progression infinite!
Futurity for ever future! Life
Beginning still where computation ends!
'Tis the description of a Deity!
'Tis the description of the meanest slave:
The meanest slave dares, then, Lorenzo scorn?
The meanest slave thy sovereign glory shares.
Proud youth, fastidious of the lower world!
Man's lawful pride includes humility;
Stoops to the lowest; is too great to find
Inferiors: all immortal! brothers all!
Proprietors eternal of thy love!
