To A R C	A
	-
	-
As musing late I sat reclin'd	B
And waking dreams absorb'd my mind	B
A damsel came of various dyes	C
Like painted Iris from the skies	C
A purfled saffron was her vest	D
And sweet gum cistus form'd her crest	D
In many a playful ring her hair	E
Flew light and flossy in the air	E
The mantle blue and gold she wore	F
A rose of opals held before	F
While graceful in her fairy hand	G
Appear'd a crimson tufted wand	H
Whose shade on every object threw	I
A glowing tint of roseate hue	I
	-
Whence art thou blooming nymph I cried	J
And thus a tuneful voice replied	J
Men call me Fancy at my shrine	K
Myriads confess my power divine	K
There painters bend the willing knee	A
And laurell'd poets sue to me	A
For mine is every vivid ray	L
Which partial Nature gave the day	L
And to the music of my song	M
A thousand nameless charms belong	M
	-
The friend of Happiness I dwell	N
Belov'd alike in court or cell	N
Where Glory lifts her ardent eye	O
With hasty kindred zeal I fly	O
In sun beams place the hero's form	P
And bid his arm command the storm	P
On swelling clouds an altar raise	Q
And fan the tow'ring flame of praise	Q
	-
Oft from the lorn enthusiast's lyre	R
My fingers strike etherial fire	S
And give to sounds of piercing woe	T
Extatic rapture's fervent glow	T
Oft sooth the maniac's throbbing vein	U
And grace her simple wilder'd strain	U
The tribe of Pain in fetters keep	V
Lull wounded Memory to sleep	V
And in the mind of gloomy Care	E
Bid Thought an angel's semblance wear	E
	-
Dear to each blest aerial pow'r	W
E'en Wisdom calls me to her bow'r	W
My songs her leisure hours beguile	X
And teach her holy lip to smile	X
And when the Muse with thoughtful care	E
Has woven chaplets for her hair	E
I let her with her myrtles twine	K
Full many a fragrant rose of mine	K
	-
Then why since all the wise and gay	L
To me a grateful homage pay	L
Since I to all my hand extend	Y
And liberal every heart befriend	Y
Does Nancy from the croud retire	R
And rend my blossoms from her lyre	R
Though every string the loss bewail	X
And tones of mellow sweetness fail	X
Which us'd to charm the pensive ear	Z
When list'ning Friendship bent to hear	Z
	-
Tell her I wish not to intrude	A2
Upon her sacred solitude	A2
Nor cast my undulating chain	U
Around her glowing heart again	B2
No every claim I now resign	K
Yet let some small regard be mine	K
Let one who nurs'd her infant years	C2
And wip'd away some bitter tears	D2
Still animate the scenes around	E2
And make her tread on fairy ground	E2
Give playful sweetness to each lay	X
And decorate the passing day	X
	-
Tell her if now she scorns my strain	U
She may invoke my name in vain	U
In vain my proffered aid implore	F
Contemn'd I hardly pardon more	F
	-
She said and springing from the earth	F2
Attending found her suitor Mirth	F2
Who caught her hand with lively air	E
And plac'd her in his silver chair	E
Which through the yielding ether flew	X
And quickly bore them from my view	X
