II

Heroes are more than men; mine's more than any.

If he's a hero who can love and hate.

As few can do, yet look just like the many;

Who has a mind so poised by the weight

Of his own worth, that e'en without a penny,

Or one poor menial slave to grace his state,

He'd feel as soaring and as proud of heart,

As Rothschild's self or even Bonaparte.
