7096 Robert Browning 1812-1889 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:7096
AUTHOR:Robert Browning (1812–1889)
QUOTATION:We shall march prospering,—not thro’ his presence;
  Songs may inspirit us,—not from his lyre;
Deeds will be done,—while he boasts his quiescence,
  Still bidding crouch whom the rest bade aspire.
ATTRIBUTION:The lost Leader. ii.
