By no kind Augustus reared, br To no Medici endeared, br German art arose; br Fostering glory smiled not on her, br Ne'er with kingly smiles to sun her, br Did her blooms unclose. br br No,--she went by monarchs slighted br Went unhonored, unrequited, br From high Frederick's throne; br Praise and pride be all the greater, br That man's genius did create her, br From man's worth alone.
