Y, see IE.

HE man is thought a knave or fool,
Or bigot plotting crime,
Who, for the advancement of his race,
Is wiser than his time.

For him the hemlock shall distill,
For him the axe be bared;
For him the gibbet shall be built;
For him the stake prepared:

Him shall the scorn and wrath of men
Pursue with deadly air;
And malice, envy, spite and lies,
Shall desecrate his name.

But truth shall conquer at the last,
For round and round we run,
And ever the right comes uppermost,
And ever is justice done.

PACE through thy cell, old Socrates,

Cheerily to and fro;

Trust to the impulse of thy soul

And let the poison flow.

They may shatter to earth the lamp of clay That holds a light divine,

But they cannot quench the fire of thought
By any such deadly wine.

They cannot blot thy spoken words
From the memory of man,

By all the poison ever was brewed
Since time its course began.
To-day abhorred, to-morrow adored,
So round and round we run,
And ever the truth comes uppermost,
And ever is justice done.

PLOD in thy cave, gray Anchorite;

Be wiser than thy peers; Augment the range of human power,

And trust to coming years.

They may call thee wizard, and monk accursed, And load thee with dispraise;

Thou wert born five hundred years too soon For the comfort of thy days.

But not too soon yor human kind:
Time hath reward in store;
And the demons of our sires become
The saints that we adore.

The blind can see, the slave is lord;
So round and round we run,

And ever the wrong is proved to be wrong,
And ever is justice done.

KEEP, Galileo, to thy thought,

And nerve thy soul to bear;

They may gloat over the senseless words they
From the pangs of thy despair. [wring
They may veil their eyes, but they cannot hide,
The sun's meridian glow;

The heel of a priest may tread thee down,
And a tyrant work thee woe;

But never a truth has been destroyed:

They may curse it and call it a crime;
Pervert and betray, or slander and slay
Its teachers for a time;

But the sunshine aye shall light the sky,
As round and round we run;
And the truth shall ever come uppermost,
And justice shall be done.

AND live there now such men as these

With thoughts like the great of old?
Many have died in their misery,

And left their thought untold.
And many live, and are ranked as mad,
And placed in the.cold world's ban,
For sending their bright, far-seeing souls
Three centuries in the van;

They toil in penury and grief,

Unknown, if not maligned;

Forlorn, forlorn, bearing the scorn

Of the meanest of mankind;

But yet the world goes round and round
And the genial seasons run,
And ever the truth comes uppermost,
And ever is justice done.

EVER again will the roses blow

For us as the roses we used to know.

Never again! for the dream is done

That a word, and a look, and a touch begun.

Love, if we always could dream, ah, then!
The words are as sad as "it might have been!"
For us, there is nothing but memory,

In the coming days, of what could not be!
Love, you are near me, and yet as far

As the round earth is from the fartherest star.
Kiss me and smile in my eyes once more,
Tho' your lips should quiver, and tears run o'er.
Put your hand in mine for one moment, one,
And then, good-bye, for the dream is done!
