      "We confer on equal terms with each of The States,",
      "We make trial of ourselves, and invite men and women to hear;",
      "We say to ourselves, Remember, fear not, be candid, promulge the body and the Soul;",
      "Dwell a while and pass on—Be copious, temperate, chaste, magnetic,",
      "And what you effuse may then return as the seasons return,",
      "And may be just as much as the seasons."
