    No radiant pearl, which crested Fortune wears,
    No gem that twinkling hangs from Beauty's wars.
    Not the bright stars which Night's blue arch adorn,
    Nor rising suns that gild the vernal morn,
    Shine with such lustre as the tear that flows
    Down Virtue's manly cheek for others' woes.

Oh! too convincing--dangerously dear--

That weapon of her weakness she can wield,
To save, subdue--at once her spear and shield.

Thank God for grace,
Ye who weep only! If, as some have done,
Ye grope tear-blinded in a desert place
And touch but tombs,--look up! Those tears will run
Soon in long rivers down the lifted face,
And leave the vision clear for stars and sun.
