BOOK I	A
	-
With what attractive charms this goodly frame	B
Of Nature touches the consenting hearts	C
Of mortal men and what the pleasing stores	D
Which beauteous imitation thence derives	E
To deck the poet's or the painter's toil	F
My verse unfolds Attend ye gentle pow'rs	E
Of musical delight and while I sing	G
Your gifts your honours dance around my strain	H
Thou smiling queen of every tuneful breast	I
Indulgent Fancy from the fruitful banks	E
Of Avon whence thy rosy fingers cull	J
Fresh flowers and dews to sprinkle on the turf	K
Where Shakspeare lies be present and with thee	L
Let Fiction come upon her vagrant wings	E
Wafting ten thousand colours through the air	M
Which by the glances of her magic eye	A
She blends and shifts at will through countless forms	E
Her wild creation Goddess of the lyre	N
Which rules the accents of the moving sphere	O
Wilt thou eternal Harmony descend	P
And join this festive train for with thee comes	E
The guide the guardian of their lovely sports	E
Majestic Truth and where Truth deigns to come	Q
Her sister Liberty will not be far	R
Be present all ye genii who conduct	S
The wandering footsteps of the youthful bard	T
New to your springs and shades who touch his ear	U
With finer sounds who heighten to his eye	A
The bloom of Nature and before him turn	V
The gayest happiest attitude of things	E
	-
	-
Or shall I mention where celestial Truth	W
Her awful light discloses to bestow	X
A more majestic pomp on Beauty's frame	B
For man loves knowledge and the beams of Truth	W
More welcome touch his understanding's eye	A
Than all the blandishments of sound his ear	U
Than all of taste his tongue Nor ever yet	Y
The melting rainbow's vernal tinctur'd hues	E
To me have shone so pleasing as when first	Z
The hand of Science pointed out the path	A2
In which the sun beams gleaming from the west	I
Fall on the watery cloud whose darksome veil	B2
Involves the orient and that trickling shower	C2
Piercing through every crystalline convex	E
Of clustering dew drops to their flight oppos'd	D2
Recoil at length where concave all behind	E2
The internal surface on each glassy orb	F2
Repeals their forward passage into air	M
That thence direct they seek the radiant goal	G2
From which their course began and as they strike	H2
In different lines the gazer's obvious eye	A
Assume a different lustre through the brede	I2
Of colours changing from the splendid rose	E
To the pale violet's dejected hue	J2
