Fame’s pillar here, at last, we set,
Outduring marble, brass, or jet.
Charm’d and enchanted so
As to withstand the blow
Of o v e r t h r o w;
Nor shall the seas,
Or o u t r a g e s
Of storms o’erbear
What we uprear.
Tho’ kingdoms fall,
This pillar never shall
Decline or waste at all;
But stand for ever by his own
Firm and well-fix’d foundation.
