EXULT MY MUSE exult to see	A
Each envious waspish jealous thing	B
Around its harmless venom fling	B
And dart its powerless fangs at THEE	A
Ne'er shalt THOU bend thy radiant wing	B
To sweep the dark revengeful string	B
Or meanly stoop to steal a ray	C
E'en from RINALDO'S glorious lay	C
Tho' his transcendent Verse should twine	D
About thy heart each bliss divine	D
	-
O MUSE ADOR'D I woo thee now	E
From yon bright Heaven to hear my vow	E
From thy blest wing a plume I'll steal	F
And with its burning point record	G
Each firm indissoluble word	H
And with my lips the proud oath seal	F
	-
I SWEAR OH YE whose souls like mine	D
Beam with poetic rays divine	D
Attend my voice whate'er my FATE	I
In this precarious wild'ring state	I
Whether the FIENDS with rancorous ire	J
Strike at my heart's unsullied fire	K
While busy ENVY'S recreant guile	L
Calls from my cheek THE PITYING SMILE	L
Or jealous SLANDER mean and vain	M
Essays my mind's BEST BOAST to stain	M
Should all combine to check my lays	N
And tear me from thy fost'ring gaze	N
Ne'er will I quit thy burning eye	O
'Till my last eager gasping sigh	O
Shall from its earthly mansion flown	P
Embrace THEE on thy STARRY THRONE	P
	-
Sweet soother of the pensive breast	Q
Come in thy softest splendours dress'd	Q
Bring with thee REASON chastely mild	R
And CLASSIC TASTE her loveliest child	R
And radiant FANCY'S offspring bright	S
Then bid them all their charms unite	S
My mind's wild rapture to inspire	J
With thy own SACRED GENUINE FIRE	K
	-
I ask no fierce terrific strain	M
That rends the breast with tort'ring pain	M
No frantic flight no labour'd art	T
To wring the fibres of the heart	T
No frenzy'd GUIDE that madd'ning flies	U
O'er cloud wrapp'd hills thro' burning skies	U
	-
That sails upon the midnight blast	V
Or on the howling wild wave cast	V
Plucks from their dark and rocky bed	W
The yelling DEMONS of the deep	X
Who soaring o'er the COMET'S head	W
The bosom of the WELKIN sweep	X
Ne'er shall MY hand at Night's full noon	Y
Snatch from the tresses of the moon	Y
A sparkling crown of silv'ry hue	Z
Besprent with studs of frozen dew	Z
To deck my brow with borrow'd rays	N
That feebly imitate the SUN'S RICH BLAZE	N
	-
AH lead ME not dear gentle Maid	A2
To poison'd bow'r or haunted glade	A2
Where beck'ning spectres shrieking glare	B2
Along the black infected air	B2
While bold fantastic thunders leap	X
Indignant midst the clam'rous deep	X
As envious of its louder tone	P
While lightnings shoot and mountains groan	P
With close pent fires that from their base	C2
Hurl them amidst the whelming space	C2
Where OCEAN'S yawning throat resounds	C2
And gorg'd with draughts of foamy ire	J
Madly o'er leaps its crystal bounds	C2
And soars to quench the SUN'S proud fire	K
While NATURE'S self shall start aghast	V
Amid the desolating blast	V
That grasps the sturdy OAK'S firm breast	Q
And tearing off its shatter'd vest	Q
Presents its gnarled bosom bare	B2
To the hot light'ning's with'ring glare	B2
	-
TRANSCENDENT MUSE assert thy right	S
Chase from thy pure PARNASSIAN height	S
Each bold usurper of thy LYRE	J
Each phantom of phosphoric fire	K
That dares with wild fantastic flight	S
The timid child of GENIUS fright	S
That dares with pilfer'd glories shine	D
Along the dazzling frenzy'd line	D
Where tinsel splendours cheat the mind	D2
While REASON trembling far behind	D2
Drops from her blushing front thy BAYS	C2
And scorns to share the wreath of praise	C2
	-
But when DIVINE RINALDO flings	C2
Soft rapture o'er the bounding strings	C2
When the bright flame that fills HIS soul	E2
Bursts thro' the bonds of calm controul	E2
And on enthusiastic wings	C2
To Heaven's Eternal Mansion springs	C2
Or darting thro' the yielding skies	C2
O'er earth's disastrous valley flies	C2
Forbear his glorious flight to bind	D2
YET o'er his TRUE POETIC Mind	D2
Expand thy chaste celestial ray	C
Nor let fantastic fires diffuse	C2
Deluding lustre round HIS MUSE	C2
To lead HER glorious steps astray	C
AH let his matchless HARP prolong	F2
The thrilling Tone the classic song	F2
STILL bind his Brow with deathless Bays	C2
STILL GRANT HIS VERSE A NATION'S PRAISE	C2
	-
But if by false persuasion led	W
His varying FANCY e'er should tread	W
The paths of vitiated Taste	G2
Where folly spreads a weedy waste	G2
OH may HE feel no more the genuine fire	K
That warms HIS TUNEFUL SOUL and prompts THY SACRED LYRE	J
