Synopsis

Excerpt from Civitas: The Romance of Our Nation's Life

I sing a hero more illustrious far Than Alfred Great or Henry of Navarre, Epaminondas, or King Philip's son, Or any who Olympic laurels won, Or fought 'round Troy, or Roman legions led, Or in crusade for God and glory bled Who seemed a man but was himself a state, Beloved of Heaven, favored of kind fate; As man was tempted, as a god withstood, Preferred a lasting to a seeming good Reached up to heav'n and brought a goddess down, And wooed and won an everlasting crown Forgot his vows awhile afar to rove.
