It doesn't scan? Good grief - you're right! Thankfully, that's no concern of mine - it's a quote -

"I met a traveller from an antique land, who said:
Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies,
Whose frown, and wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command
Tell that the sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things...
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal these words appear:
"My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."
-- Percy Bysshe Shelley, "Ozymandias"

Look on my works, ye Mighty,
Quote? Quite!

What source are you looking at?Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair! 09:04, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)

the one you just posted, for a start.
) Interesting, I'd never seen that version before, I copied it from the first google site I found without even noticing - the version I have always seen, and the paper version I have reads 'upon'. I wonder what's going on there?Look upon my works, ye Mighty, and despair! 09:14, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)
Ive only ever seen *on*, *upon* would have 11 syllables, and every other line has 10. the Ozymandias article also quotes *on*.
