Living
To Guyon
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Living
Guyon! thy praises few dare sing,
But not so few shall hear.
From virgin earth thy laurels spring
O'er fountain deep and clear.
Honour, not Glory, led thee forth,
Young, ardent: at thy word
Uprose the Danube; and the North
Saw the last sheath'd thy sword.
