| SUCH natural debts of love our Oxford knows, | |
| So many ancient dues undesecrate, | |
| I marvel how the landmark of a hate | |
| For witness unto future time she chose; | |
| How out of her corroborate ranks arose | 5 |
| The three, in great denial only great, | |
| For Art’s enshrining!… Thus, averted straight, | |
| My soul to seek a holier captain goes: | |
| That sweet adventurer whom Truth befell | |
| When as the synagogues were watching not; | 10 |
| Whose crystal name on royal Oriel | |
| Hangs like a shield; who, to an outland spot | |
| Led hence, beholds his Star, and counts it well | |
| Of all his dear domain to live forgot. | |
