As when the wrathfull Boreas doth bluster,

Nought may abide the tempest of his yre,

First Servant: O, I am slain! My lord, you have one eye left

Unwonted lustre in some clearer mind,

Believe that Genius sets the laws at naught

But Main, High, and Central have no past; rather, their past is now. It is not the fault of the inhabitants that nothing has gone before them. Nor are they to be condemned if they make their spinal streets conspicuous, and confer egregious lustre and false acclaim on Central, High, or Main, and erect minarets and marquees indeed as though their city were already in dream and fable.
