Not high-raised battlement or labored mound,Thick wall or moated gate ; Xot cities proud with spires and turrets crowned ;Not bays and broad-armed ports Where, laughing at the stoim, rich navies ride ;Not starred and spangled courts Where low-browed baseness wafts perfume to pride.No ! Men, high-minded Men, With powers as far above dull brutes enduedIn forest, brake, or den, As beasts excel cold rocks and brambles rude ;Men who their duties know, But know their rights, and knowing dare maintain,Prevent the long-aimed blow, And crush the tyrant while they rend the chain :storyofwashingto00todd
