This he believed: a kindred spirit + 

Impelled to union with his own + 

Lay languishing both day and night⁠— + 

Waiting his coming⁠—his alone! + 

He deemed his friends but longed to make + 

Great sacrifices for his sake! + 

That a friend’s arm in every case + 

Felled a calumniator base! + 

That chosen heroes consecrate, + 

Friends of the sons of every land, + 

Exist⁠—that their immortal band + 

Shall surely, be it soon or late, + 

Pour on this orb a dazzling light + 

And bless mankind with full delight. + 
