"Stern Lawgiver! yet thou dost wear / The Godhead's most benignant grace; / Nor know we anything so fair / As is the smile upon thy face: / Flowers laugh before thee on their beds / And fragrance in thy footing treads; / Thou dost preserve the stars from wrong; / And the most ancient heavens, through Thee, are fresh and strong." / - Wordsworth, "Ode to Duty"
