    Not the pride, nor ample pinion,
    That the Theban eagle bear,
    Sailing with supreme dominion
    Thro' the azure deep of air.

With clangs of wings and scream, the Eagle sailed

That eagle's fate and mine are one,

Espied a feather of his own,
Wherewith he wont to soar so high.

But he not less the eagle.

And is not careful what they mean thereby.
