INSPIRATION, by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: Those whom nor power, nor lying faith, nor toil
Last Line: Me whom they cheer to be their minister.
First Line: Those whom nor power, nor lying faith, nor toil
Last Line: Me whom they cheer to be their minister.
THOSE whom nor power, nor lying faith, nor toil,
Nor custom, queen of many slaves, makes blind,
Have ever grieved that man should be the spoil
Of his own weakness, and with earnest mind
Fed hopes of its redemption; these recur
Chastened by deathful victory now, and find
Foundations in this foulest age, and stir
Me whom they cheer to be their minister.
