| THE TONGUE of England, that which myriads | |
| Have spoken and will speak, were paralyz’d | |
| Hereafter, but two mighty men stand forth | |
| Above the flight of ages, two alone; | |
| One crying out, | 5 |
| All nations spoke through me. | |
| The other: | |
| True; and through this trumpet burst God’s word; the fall of Angels, and the doom | |
| First of immortal, then of mortal, Man. | |
| Glory! be glory! not to me, to God. | 10 |
