Jupiter, aut ardens evexit ad æthera virtus .”
Virg. Æn. vi. 129
The sparks ascend, and one by one
Extinguish'd are in smoke and gone:
In stedfast course a few arise
Borne upward to congenial skies.
Extinguish'd are in smoke and gone:
In stedfast course a few arise
Borne upward to congenial skies.
Mid paynim nations some were seen,
With strong presentiment serene,
Heavenward to hold a tranquil light,
Till they had pass'd from human sight.
