A guardian god below; still to employ

The minds brave ardor in heroic aims,

Such as may raise us oer the grovelling herd,

And make us shine for ever--that is life.

Go there at what hour you may, you are sure to ?nd it ?lled with grave-looking personages, deeply absorbed in the study of newspapers.
