I	A
	-
Retired remote from human noise	B
An humble Poet dwelt serene	C
His lot was lowly yet his joys	B
Were manifold I ween	C
He laid him by the brawling brook	D
At eventide to ruminate	E
He watch'd the swallow skimming round	F
And mused in reverie profound	F
On wayward man's unhappy state	E
And ponder'd much and paused on deeds of ancient date	E
	-
II	A
	-
Oh 'twas not always thus he cried	G
There was a time when genius claim'd	H
Respect from even towering pride	G
Nor hung her head ashamed	H
But now to wealth alone we bow	I
The titled and the rich alone	C
Are honour'd while meek merit pines	J
On penury's wretched couch reclines	J
Unheeded in his dying moan	C
As overwhelmed with want and woe he sinks unknown	C
	-
III	A
	-
Yet was the muse not always seen	C
In poverty's dejected mien	C
Not always did repining rue	K
And misery her steps pursue	K
Time was when nobles thought their titles graced	L
By the sweet honours of poetic bays	M
When Sidney sung his melting song	N
When Sheffield join'd the harmonious throng	N
And Lyttelton attuned to love his lays	M
Those days are gone alas for ever gone	C
No more our nobles love to grace	O
Their brows with anadems by genius won	C
But arrogantly deem the muse as base	O
How differently thought the sires of this degenerate race	O
	-
I	A
	-
Thus sang the minstrel still at eve	P
The upland's woody shades among	Q
In broken measures did he grieve	P
With solitary song	N
And still his shame was aye the same	R
Neglect had stung him to the core	S
And he with pensive joy did love	T
To seek the still congenial grove	U
And muse on all his sorrows o'er	V
And vow that he would join the abjured world no more	S
	-
II	A
	-
But human vows how frail they be	W
Fame brought Carlisle unto his view	K
And all amazed he thought to see	W
The Augustan age anew	K
Fill'd with wild rapture up he rose	X
No more he ponders on the woes	X
Which erst he felt that forward goes	X
Regrets he'd sunk in impotence	Y
And hails the ideal day of virtuous eminence	Y
	-
III	A
	-
Ah silly man yet smarting sore	S
With ills which in the world he bore	S
Again on futile hope to rest	Z
An unsubstantial prop at best	Z
And not to know one swallow makes no summer	V
Ah soon he'll find the brilliant gleam	A2
Which flash'd across the hemisphere	B2
Illumining the darkness there	C2
Was but a single solitary beam	A2
While all around remained in custom'd night	D2
Still leaden ignorance reigns serene	C
In the false court's delusive height	D2
And only one Carlisle is seen	C
To illume the heavy gloom with pure and steady light	D2
