    The truly brave,
    When they behold the brave oppressed with odds,
    Are touched with a desire to shield and save:--
    A mixture of wild beasts and demi-gods
    Are they--now furious as the sweeping wave,
    Now moved with pity; even as sometimes nods
    The rugged tree unto the summer wind,
    Compassion breathes along the savage mind.
