On Greenough's Washington
Such was the Man! — Simple — Austere — sublime —
By every fortune tried — in all unmoved —
Hero — Sage — Patriot — great without a crime
Who conquered freedom for the land he loved: —
And for himself — took nothing — but a Name
That None 'till then — & no one since has won:
Does not the very marble speak his name?
Who dare thus point to Heaven but WASHINGTON[?]
