" "
Alike were they free from
Fear, that reigns with the tyrant, and envy, the vice of republics.
Neither locks had they to their doors, nor bars to their windows;
But their dwellings were open as day and the hearts of their owners;
There the richest was poor, and the poorest lived in abundance.

Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this restless feeling,
And banish the thoughts of day.

Great is the art of beginning.
