Careful Words

unformed (adj.)

And who (in time) knows whither we may vent

The treasure of our tongue? To what strange shores

This gain of our best glory shall be sent

T' enrich unknowing nations with our stores?

What worlds in the yet unformed Occident

May come refin'd with th' accents that are ours?

Samuel Daniel (1562-1619): Musophilus. Stanza 163.
