unwithstood

He is a poet whose position vis-a-vis society undergoes revealing changes, during his long life: It is not to be thought of that the Flood Of British Freedom, which, to the open sea Of the world's praise, from dark antiquity Hath flowed, 'with pomp of waters, unwithstood'-- Roused though it be full often to a mood Which spurns the check of salutary bands-- We must be free or die, who speak the tongue That Shakespeare spake; the faith and morals held Which Milton held--In everything we are sprung Of Earth's first blood

The present year, 2005, transposes to FAVE UNWITHSTOOD. The first year after 2000 that requires three words is 2012, which transposes to DEVOUT WEALTH TOWNS.
