Love
To Michelet on His "People"
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Love
I praise thee, Michelet, whom I saw
At Reason's Feast, by Right and Law.
Must then, when Discord's voice hath ceast,
And when the faggot fails the priest,
All present Frenchmen, like all past,
Cry for a lap of blood at last?
