...Rights in vain:
But those do hold or break
As men are strong or weak.
Nature, that hateth emptiness,

There lands the Fiend, a spot like which perhaps
Astronomer in the sun's lucent orb
Through his glazed optick tube yet never saw.
The place he found beyond expression bright,
Compared with aught on earth, metal or stone;
