Ανθρωπος· ἰκανὴ πρόφασις εἰς τὸ δυστνχεῖν.
Menander / Ye distant spires, ye antique towers, / That crown the wat'ry glade, / Where grateful Science still adores / Her Henry's holy Shade; / And ye, that from the stately brow / Of Windsor's heights the expanse below / Of grove, of lawn, of mead survey, / Whose turf, whose shade, whose flowers among / Wanders the hoary Thames along / His silver-winding way.
