William Wordsworth - Inside of King's College Chapel, Cambridge

. Tax not the royal Saint with vain expense, br With ill-matched aims the Architect who planned-- br Albeit labouring for a scanty band br Of white-robed Scholars only--this immense br And glorious Work of fine intelligence! br Give all thou canst; high Heaven rejects the lore br Of nicely-calculated less or more; br So deemed the man who fashioned for the sense br These lofty pillars, spread that branching roof br Self-poised, and scooped into ten thousand cells, br Where light and shade repose, where music dwells br Lingering--and wandering on as loth to die; br Like thoughts whose very sweetness yieldeth proof br That they were born for immortality.
