	A
	-
Far in the depth of Ida's inmost grove	B
A scene for love and solitude design'd	C
Where flowery woodbines wild by Nature wove	B
Form'd the lone bower the royal swain reclined	C
	-
	-
	-
	-
All up the craggy cliffs that tower'd to heaven	D
Green waved the murmuring pines on every side	E
Save where fair opening to the beam of even	F
A dale sloped gradual to the valley wide	E
	-
	-
	-
	-
Echo'd the vale with many a cheerful note	G
The lowing of the herds resounding long	H
The shrilling pipe and mellow horn remote	G
And social clamours of the festive throng	H
	-
	-
	-
	-
For now low hovering o'er the western main	I
Where amber clouds begirt his dazzling throne	J
The Sun with ruddier verdure deck'd the plain	I
And lakes and streams and spires triumphal shone	J
	-
	-
	-
	-
And many a band of ardent youths were seen	K
Some into rapture fired by glory's charms	L
Or hurl'd the thundering car along the green	K
Or march'd embattled on in glittering arms	L
	-
	-
	-
	-
Others more mild in happy leisure gay	M
The darkening forest's lonely gloom explore	N
Or by Scamander's flowery margin stray	M
Or the blue Hellespont's resounding shore	N
	-
	-
	-
	-
But chief the eye to Ilion's glories turn'd	O
That gleam'd along the extended champaign far	P
And bulwarks in terrific pomp adorn'd	Q
Where Peace sat smiling at the frowns of War	N
	-
	-
	-
	-
Rich in the spoils of many a subject clime	R
In pride luxurious blazed the imperial dome	R
Tower'd 'mid the encircling grove the fane sublime	R
And dread memorials mark'd the hero's tomb	R
	-
	-
	-
	-
Who from the black and bloody cavern led	S
The savage stern and soothed his boisterous breast	T
Who spoke and Science rear'd her radiant head	S
And brighten'd o'er the long benighted waste	U
	-
	-
	-
	-
Or greatly daring in his country's cause	V
Whose heaven taught soul the awful plan design'd	C
Whence Power stood trembling at the voice of laws	W
Whence soar'd on Freedom's wing the ethereal mind	C
	-
	-
	-
	-
But not the pomp that royalty displays	X
Nor all the imperial pride of lofty Troy	Y
Nor Virtue's triumph of immortal praise	X
Could rouse the langour of the lingering boy	Y
	-
	-
	-
	-
Abandon'd all to soft Enone's charms	L
He to oblivion doom'd the listless day	M
Inglorious lull'd in Love's dissolving arms	L
While flutes lascivious breathed the enfeebling lay	M
	-
	-
	-
	-
To trim the ringlets of his scented hair	Z
To aim insidious Love's bewitching glance	A2
Or cull fresh garlands for the gaudy fair	Z
Or wanton loose in the voluptuous dance	A2
	-
	-
	-
	-
These were his arts these won Enone's love	B2
Nor sought his fetter'd soul a nobler aim	R
Ah why should beauty's smile those arts approve	C2
Which taint with infamy the lover's flame	R
	-
	-
	-
	-
Now laid at large beside a murmuring spring	D2
Melting he listen'd to the vernal song	H
And Echo listening waved her airy wing	D2
While the deep winding dales the lays prolong	H
	-
	-
	-
	-
When slowly floating down the azure skies	E2
A crimson cloud flash'd on his startled sight	F2
Whose skirts gay sparkling with unnumber'd dyes	E2
Launch'd the long billowy trails of flickery light	F2
	-
	-
	-
	-
That instant hush'd was all the vocal grove	B
Hush'd was the gale and every ruder sound	G2
And strains a rial warbling far above	B2
Rung in the ear a magic peal profound	G2
	-
	-
	-
	-
Near and more near the swimming radiance roll'd	H2
Along the mountains stream the lingering fires	I2
Sublime the groves of Ida blaze with gold	H2
And all the Heaven resounds with louder lyres	I2
	-
	-
	-
	-
The trumpet breathed a note and all in air	Z
The glories vanish'd from the dazzled eye	J2
And three ethereal forms divinely fair	Z
Down the steep glade were seen advancing nigh	J2
	-
	-
	-
	-
The flowering glade fell level where they moved	K2
O'erarching high the clustering roses hung	L2
And gales from heaven on balmy pinion roved	K2
And hill and dale with gratulation rung	L2
	-
	-
	-
	-
The FIRST with slow and stately step drew near	M2
Fix'd was her lofty eye erect her mien	K
Sublime in grace in majesty severe	M2
She look'd and moved a goddess and a queen	K
	-
	-
	-
	-
Her robe along the gale profusely stream'd	K2
Light lean'd the sceptre on her bending arm	R
And round her brow a starry circlet gleam'd	K2
Heightening the pride of each commanding charm	R
	-
	-
	-
	-
Milder the NEXT came on with artless grace	I2
And on a javelin's quivering length reclined	K2
To exalt her mien she bade no splendour blaze	I2
Nor pomp of vesture fluctuate on the wind	K2
	-
	-
	-
	-
Serene though awful on her brow the light	K2
Of heavenly wisdom shone nor roved her eyes	I2
Save to the shadowy cliffs majestic height	K2
Or the blue concave of the involving skies	I2
	-
	-
	-
	-
Keen were her eyes to search the inmost soul	N2
Yet virtue triumph'd in their beams benign	O2
And impious Pride oft felt their dread control	N2
When in fierce lightning flash'd the wrath divine	O2
	-
	-
	-
	-
With awe and wonder gazed the adoring swain	I
His kindling cheeks great Virtue's power confess'd	K2
But soon 'twas o'er for Virtue prompts in vain	I
When Pleasure's influence numbs the nerveless breast	K2
	-
	-
	-
	-
And now advanced the QUEEN of melting JOY	Y
Smiling supreme in unresisted charms	I2
Ah then what transports fired the trembling boy	Y
How throbb'd his sickening frame with fierce alarms	I2
	-
	-
	-
	-
Her eyes in liquid light luxurious swim	R
And languish with unutterable love	B2
Heaven's warm bloom glows along each brightening limb	R
Where fluttering bland the veil's thin mantlings rove	B
	-
	-
	-
	-
Quick blushing as abash'd she half withdrew	P2
One hand a bough of flowering myrtle waved	K2
One graceful spread where scarce conceal'd from view	P2
Soft through the parting robe her bosom heaved	K2
	-
	-
	-
	-
'Offspring of Jove supreme beloved of Heaven	D
Attend ' Thus spoke the Empress of the Skies	I2
'For know to thee high fated prince 'tis given	D
Through the bright realms of Fame sublime to rise	I2
	-
	-
	-
	-
Beyond man's boldest hope if nor the wiles	I2
Of Pallas triumph o'er the ennobling thought	K2
Nor Pleasure lure with artificial smiles	I2
To quaff the poison of her luscious draught	K2
	-
	-
	-
	-
When Juno's charms the prize of beauty claim	R
Shall aught on earth shall aught in heaven contend	K2
Whom Juno calls to high triumphant fame	R
Shall he to meaner sway inglorious bend	K2
	-
	-
	-
	-
Yet lingering comfortless in lonesome wild	K2
Where Echo sleeps 'mid cavern'd vales profound	K2
The pride of Troy Dominion's darling child	K2
Pines while the slow hour stalks in sullen round	K2
	-
	-
	-
	-
Hear thou of Heaven unconscious From the blaze	I2
Of glory stream'd from Jove's eternal throne	J
Thy soul O mortal caught the inspiring rays	I2
That to a god exalt Earth's raptured son	D
	-
	-
	-
	-
Hence the bold wish on boundless pinion borne	Q2
That fires alarms impels the maddening soul	N2
The hero's eye hence kindling into scorn	Q2
Blasts the proud menace and defies control	N2
	-
	-
	-
	-
But unimproved Heaven's noblest boons are vain	I
No sun with plenty crowns the uncultured vale	R2
Where green lakes languish on the silent plain	I
Death rides the billows of the western gale	R2
	-
	-
	-
	-
Deep in yon mountain's womb where the dark cave	S2
Howls to the torrent's everlasting roar	N
Does the rich gem its flashy radiance wave	S2
Or flames with steady ray the imperial ore	N
	-
	-
	-
	-
Toil deck'd with glittering domes yon champaign wide	K2
And wakes yon grove embosom'd lawns to joy	Y
And rends the rough ore from the mountain's side	K2
Spangling with starry pomp the thrones of Troy	Y
	-
	-
	-
	-
Fly these soft scenes Even now with playful art	K2
Love wreathes the flowery ways with fatal snare	Z
And nurse the ethereal fire that warms thy heart	K2
That fire ethereal lives but by thy care	Z
	-
	-
	-
	-
Lo hovering near on dark and dampy wing	D2
Sloth with stern patience waits the hour assign'd	K2
From her chill plume the deadly dews to fling	D2
That quench Heaven's beam and freeze the cheerless mind	K2
	-
	-
	-
	-
Vain then the enlivening sound of Fame's alarms	I2
For Hope's exulting impulse prompts no more	N
Vain even the joys that lure to Pleasure's arms	I2
The throb of transport is for ever o'er	T2
	-
	-
	-
	-
O who shall then to Fancy's darkening eyes	I2
Recall the Elysian dreams of joy and light	K2
Dim through the gloom the formless visions rise	I2
Snatch'd instantaneous down the gulf of night	K2
	-
	-
	-
	-
Thou who securely lull'd in youth's warm ray	M
Mark'st not the desolations w	-
