Since he is Poet of whom gods ordain br Some most anthropic and perhuman act br Whereby his manhood shall so man his fact br That but his man of man is born again, br And since humanity is most humane, br Not at our pyramid's base, where we have tact br Of dust and supersurge the common tract br Of being, but up there, where form doth reign br To apex, let a Poet ask no fame br But that which, high o'er floods of Life and Death br From singing arks Ararat echoeth br To Ararat, and let him rather be, br Oh Poet, writ on yonder page by thee br Than hear what vulgar breath should make his world-wide name.
