• When a man is just and firm in his purpose,
  The citizens burning to approve a wrong
  Or the frowning looks of a tyrant
  Do not shake his fixed mind, nor the Southwind.
  Wild lord of the uneasy Adriatic,
  Nor the thunder in the mighty hand of Jove:
  Should the heavens crack and tumble down,
  As the ruins crushed him he would not fear.
