Note 11 — II.
Robert Rives La Monte translation
"Full many a gem of purest ray serene The dark unfathom'd caves of ocean bear: Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its fragrance on the desert air. "Some village-Hampden, that with dauntless breast The little tyrant of his field withstood, Some mute inglorious Milton here may rest, Some Cromwell, guiltless of his country's blood."
—Stanzas from Gray's "Elegy in a Country Church-yard."—Translator.
