WHEN THE NATIONS AWAKE.
> ■ " And when Reason's voice, I.our] as the voice of Nature, shall have waked The nations; and mankind perceive* that vice Is discord, war, and misery—that virtue Is peace and happiness and harmonv; When man's maturer nature shall disdain Tho playthings of its childhood; kiiurly trl arc Will lose its power to dazzle; its authority Will silently pass hy; the noreeous throne ™.l| stand unnoticed in the regal hall fnsr falling to decay; whilst falsehood's trade Shall be as hateful and unprofitable As thiit of truth is now. —Percy Bysshc Shelley.
