O parent of each lovely Muse	A
Thy spirit o'er my soul diffuse	B
O'er all my artless songs preside	C
My footsteps to thy temple guide	C
To offer at thy turf built shrine	D
In golden cups no costly wine	D
No murder'd fatling of the flock	E
But flowers and honey from the rock	E
O Nymph with loosely flowing hair	F
With buskin'd leg and bosom bare	F
Thy waist with myrtle girdle bound	G
Thy brows with Indian feathers crown'd	G
Waving in thy snowy hand	H
An all commanding magic wand	I
Of pow'r to bid fresh gardens blow	J
'Mid cheerless Lapland's barren snow	J
Whose rapid wings thy flight convey	K
Through air and over earth and sea	L
While the vast various landscape lies	M
Conspicuous to thy piercing eyes	M
O lover of the desert hail	N
Say in what deep and pathless vale	N
Or on what hoary mountain's side	C
'Mid fall of waters you reside	C
'Mid broken rocks a rugged scene	O
With green and grassy dales between	O
'Mid forests dark of aged oak	P
Ne'er echoing with the woodman's stroke	P
Where never human art appear'd	Q
Nor ev'n one straw roof'd cot was rear'd	Q
Where Nature seems to sit alone	R
Majestic on a craggy throne	R
Tell me the path sweet wand'rer tell	S
To thy unknown sequester'd cell	S
Where woodbines cluster round the door	T
Where shells and moss o'erlay the floor	T
And on whose top an hawthorn blows	U
Amid whose thickly woven boughs	V
Some nightingale still builds her nest	W
Each evening warbling thee to rest	W
There lay me by the haunted stream	X
Rapt in some wild poetic dream	X
In converse while methinks I rove	Y
With Spenser through a fairy grove	Y
'Till suddenly awoke I hear	Z
Strange whisper'd music in my ear	Z
And my glad soul in bliss is drown'd	G
By the sweetly soothing sound	G
Me Goddess by the right hand lead	A2
Sometimes through the yellow mead	B2
Where Joy and white rob'd Peace resort	C2
And Venus keeps her festive court	C2
Where Mirth and Youth each evening meet	D2
And lightly trip with nimble feet	D2
Nodding their lily crowned heads	E2
Where Laughter rose lipp'd Hebe leads	F2
Where Echo walks steep hills among	G2
List'ning to the shepherd's song	H2
Yet not those flowery fields of joy	I2
Can long my pensive mind employ	I2
Haste Fancy from these scenes of folly	L
To meet the matron Melancholy	L
Goddess of the tearful eye	J2
That loves to fold her arms and sigh	J2
Let us with silent footsteps go	J
To charnels and the house of woe	J
To Gothic churches vaults and tombs	K2
Where each sad night some virgin comes	L2
With throbbing breast and faded cheek	M2
Her promis'd bridegroom's urn to seek	M2
Or to some abbey's mould'ring tow'rs	L2
Where to avoid cold wintry show'rs	L2
The naked beggar shivering lies	L2
While whistling tempests round her rise	L2
And trembles lest the tottering wall	N2
Should on her sleeping infants fall	N2
	-
Now let us louder strike the lyre	O2
For my heart glows with martial fire	P2
I feel I feel with sudden heat	D2
My big tumultuous bosom beat	D2
The trumpet's clangours pierce my ear	Z
A thousand widows' shrieks I hear	Z
Give me another horse I cry	J2
Lo the base Gallic squadrons fly	J2
Whence is this rage what spirit say	L2
To battle hurries me away	L2
'Tis Fancy in her fiery car	Q2
Transports me to the thickest war	T
There whirls me o'er the hills of slain	R2
Where Tumult and Destruction reign	R2
Where mad with pain the wounded steed	B2
Tramples the dying and the dead	A2
Where giant Terror stalks around	G
With sullen joy surveys the ground	G
And pointing to th' ensanguin'd field	S2
Shakes his dreadful Gorgon shield	S2
	-
O guide me from this horrid scene	O
To high arch'd walks and alleys green	O
Which lovely Laura seeks to shun	T2
The fervours of the mid day sun	T2
The pangs of absence O remove	U2
For thou canst place me near my love	V2
Canst fold in visionary bliss	L2
And let me think I steal a kiss	L2
While her ruby lips dispense	L2
Luscious nectar's quintessence	L2
When young ey'd Spring profusely throws	L2
From her green lap the pink and rose	L2
When the soft turtle of the dale	N
To Summer tells her tender tale	N
When Autumn cooling caverns seeks	L2
And stains with wine his jolly cheeks	L2
When Winter like poor pilgrim old	W2
Shakes his silver beard with cold	W2
At every season let my ear	Z
Thy solemn whispers Fancy hear	Z
O warm enthusiastic maid	X2
Without thy powerful vital aid	X2
That breathes an energy divine	D
That gives a soul to every line	D
Ne'er may I strive with lips profane	R2
To utter an unhallow'd strain	R2
Nor dare to touch the sacred string	Y2
Save when with smiles thou bid'st me sing	Y2
O hear our prayer O hither come	Z2
From thy lamented Shakespear's tomb	A3
On which thou lov'st to sit at eve	B3
Musing o'er thy darling's grave	C3
O queen of numbers once again	D3
Animate some chosen swain	R2
Who fill'd with unexhausted fire	P2
May boldly smite the sounding lyre	O2
Who with some new unequall'd song	H2
May rise above the rhyming throng	H2
O'er all our list'ning passions reign	R2
O'erwhelm our souls with joy and pain	R2
With terror shake with pity move	U2
Rouse with revenge or melt with love	V2
O deign t' attend his evening walk	E3
With him in groves and grottoes talk	E3
Teach him to scorn with frigid art	F3
Feebly to touch th' unraptur'd heart	F3
Like lightning let his mighty verse	L2
The bosom's inmost foldings pierce	L2
With native beauties win applause	L2
Beyond cold critics' studied laws	L2
O let each Muse's fame increase	L2
O bid Britannia rival Greece	L2
