    My steps have pressed the flowers,
    That to the Muses' bowers
    The eternal dews of Helicon have given:
    And trod the mountain height,
    Where Science, young and bright,
    Scans with poetic gaze the midnight-heaven.
    Yet have I found no power to vie
    With thine, severe necessity!
