Publisher's Synopsis

A bearded man, Armed to the teeth, art thou; one mailed hand Grasps the broad shield, and one the sword; thy Glorious in beauty though it be, is scarred With tokens of old wars; thy massive limbs Are strong with struggling. The hills, Rock-ribbed and ancient as the sun, the vales, Stretching in pensive quietness between; The venerable woods - rivers that move In majesty, and the complaining brooks, That make the meadows green; and, poured round Old ocean's gray and melancholy waste, Are but the solemn decorations all Of the great tomb of man.
