"Far from the sun and summer-gale
In thy green lap was Nature's Darling laid,
What time, where lucid Avon stray'd,
To him the mighty mother did unveil
Her awful face:" Thomas Gray (1716-1771), British poet. The Progress of Poesy (l. 82-86). . .

"Her track, where'er the Goddess roves,
Glory pursue, and generous Shame,
Th' unconquerable Mind, and Freedom's holy flame." Thomas Gray (1716-1771), British poet. The Progress of Poesy (l. 62-64). . .
