Matthew Arnold·1822–1888
prung from the blood of Israel’s scattered race,At a mean inn in German Aarau born,To forms from antique Greece and Rome uptorn,Tricked out with a Parisian speech and face, Imparting life renewed, old classic grace;Then soothing with thy Christian strain forlorn,A-Kempis! her departing soul outworn,While by her bedside Hebrew rites have place,--
