ns and earth and all that in them is.
Then landmarks were first setlest men contend
For God's free giftsthat all in peace had shared.
Then laws were made to govern those whose sires
Were laws unto themselves. Then sickness came
And grief and pain attended men from birth to death.
But still a silver light lined every cloud
And hope was given to cheer and comfort men.
The brazen agebrilliant but coldsucceeds.
This was an age of knowledgeart and war
When the knights-errant of the ancient world
Adventures seekingroamed with brazen swords
Which by a wondrous art--then knownnow lost--
Were hard as flintand edged to cut a hair
Or cleave in twain a warrior armor-clad
And armed with shields adorned by Vulcan's art
Wonder of coming times and theme for bards.[1]
Then science searched through nature's heights and depths. Heaven's canopy thick set with stars was mapped
The constellations namedand all the laws searched out
That guide their motionsrolling sphere on sphere.[2]
Then men by reasonings piled up mountain high
Thought to scale heavenand to dethrone heaven's king
Whose imitators weakwith quips and quirks
And ridicule would now destroy all sacred things.
This age great Homer and old Hesiod sang
