    And groined the aisles of Christian Rome,
    Wrought in a sad sincerity;
    Himself from God he could not free;
    He builded better than he knew;
    The conscious stone to beauty grew.

And some the architect: his hand was known
In heaven by many a tower'd structure high,
Where scepter'd angels held their residence,
And sat as princes.
