TO BUILD THE TEMPLE.

To build- the temple that tine master plann'd, Long time a throng of unknown workmen wrought, Each on the fragment of the artist's thought. The whole he had no need to understand; To oarve from one white) block, with docile hand, A Lapith that with Centaur calmly fought, Or erven to spend the hot day do ing. naught : Blut smooth a surface with slow-ibiting sand— > Such was thedr toil. Buifc when, their labours o'er, BDelios from gray HymettOß gaaed upon Fair column and sculptured front, and through the door Greeted; Athena;—ah, the Parthenon! Hiuin'd, dispersed, yet. more precious ever, It crowns each faithful workman, ! though unknown. —Thomas D. Goodell. Tale Review.
