Let me not see the patriot's high bequest,                   #8
              Great Liberty! how great in plain attire!
            With the base purple of a court oppress'd,
              Bowing her head, and ready to expire:
                But let me see thee stoop from heaven on wings
                That fill the skies with silver glitterings!

            And as, in sparkling majesty, a star
              Gilds the bright summit of some gloomy cloud;
            Brightening the half veil'd face of heaven afar:
              So, when dark thoughts my boding spirit shroud,
                Sweet Hope, celestial influence round me shed,
                Waving thy silver pinions o'er my head.(1815)
                                                ---John Keats                              TO EXAMPLE #9
