The Antiques At Paris.

Topics: classic

That which Grecian art created,     Let the Frank, with joy elated,     Bear to Seine's triumphant strand,     And in his museums glorious     Show the trophies all-victorious     To his wondering fatherland.     They to him are silent ever,     Into life's fresh circle never     From their pedestals come down.     He alone e'er holds the Muses     Through whose breast their power diffuses,     To the Vandal they're but stone!
