Secure in guarded coldness, he had mixed[gp]

Again in fancied safety with his kind,

And deemed his spirit now so firmly fixed

And sheathed with an invulnerable mind,

That, if no joy, no sorrow lurked behind;

And he, as one, might 'midst the many stand

Unheeded, searching through the crowd to find

Fit speculation—such as in strange land

He found in wonder-works of God and Nature's hand.[gq]
