be
discovered

So he spake, and

sheathed
The good sword by his side,
And with his harness on his back,
Plunged headlong in the tide.

Tennyson |

The wisest, unexperienc't, will be ever 240
Timorous and loth, with novice modesty,
(As he who seeking Asses found a Kingdom)
Irresolute, unhardy, unadventrous:
But I will bring thee where thou soon shalt quit
Those rudiments, and see before thine eyes
The Monarchies of the Earth, thir pomp and state,
Sufficient introduction to inform
Thee, of thy self so apt, in regal Arts,
And regal Mysteries; that thou may'st know
How best their
opposition
to withstand.

Are renovated and withered by the dews and frosts:
And Man the wise, Man the divine--
Shall he alone escape this law?
