While thus a mind humane and wise he shows	A
All eloquent of truth his language flows	A
Youth tho' depress'd thro' all his form appears	B
Thro' all his sentiments the depth of years	B
Thus he Yet farther Industry behold	C
Which conscious waits new wonders to unfold	C
Enter my chapel next Lo here begin	D
The hallow'd rites that check the growth of sin	D
When first we met how soon you seem'd to know	E
My bosom lab'ring with the throbs of woe	E
Such racking throbs Soft when I rouse those cares	F
On my chill'd mind pale Recollection glares	F
When moping Frenzy strove my thoughts to sway	G
Here prudent labours chas'd her pow'r away	G
Full and rough rising from yon sculptur'd wall	H
Bold prophets nations to repentance call	H
Meek martyrs smile in flames gor'd champions groan	I
And muse like cherubs tune their harps in stone	I
Next shadow'd light a rounding force bestows	A
Swells into life and speaking action grows	A
Here pleasing melancholy subjects find	J
To calm amuse exalt the pensive mind	J
This figure tender grief like mine implies	K
And semblant thoughts that earthly pomp despise	K
Such penitential Magdalene reveals	L
Loose veil'd in negligence of charms she kneels	L
Tho' dress near stor'd its vanity supplies	L
The vanity of dress unheeded lies	L
The sinful world in sorrowing eye she keeps	L
As o'er Jerusalem Messiah weeps	L
One hand her bosom smites in one appears	L
The lifted lawn that drinks her falling tears	L
	-
	-
Since evil outweighs good and sways mankind	J
True fortitude assumes the patient mind	J
Such prov'd Messiah's tho' to suff'ring born	M
To penury repulse reproach and scorn	M
Here by the pencil mark his flight design'd	J
The weary'd virgin by a stream reclin'd	J
Who feeds the child Her looks a charm express	L
A modest charm that dignifies distress	L
Boughs o'er their heads with blushing fruits depend	N
Which angels to her busied consort bend	N
Hence by the smiling infant seems discern'd	O
Trifles concerning Him all heav'n concern'd	O
	-
	-
Here the transfigur'd Son from earth retires	L
See the white form in a bright cloud aspires	L
Full on his foll'wers bursts a flood of rays	L
Prostrate they fall beneath th' o'erwhelming blaze	L
Like noon tide summer suns the rays appear	P
Unsuff'rable magnificent and near	P
	-
	-
What scene of agony the garden brings	L
The cup of gall the suppliant king of kings	L
The crown of thorns the cross that felt him die	Q
These languid in the sketch unfinish'd lie	Q
	-
	-
There from the dead centurions see him rise	L
See but struck down with horrible surprize	L
As the first glory seem'd a sun at noon	R
This casts the silver splendor of the moon	R
	-
	-
Here peopled day th' ascending God surveys	L
The glory varies as the myriads gaze	L
Now soften'd like a sun at distance seen	S
When thro' a cloud bright glancing yet serene	S
Now fast encreasing to the croud amaz'd	T
Like some vast meteor high in ether rais'd	T
	-
	-
My labour yon high vaulted altar stains	L
With dies that emulate etherial plains	L
The convex glass which in that opening glows	L
Mid circling rays a pictur'd Saviour shows	L
Bright it collects the beams which trembling all	H
Back from the God a show'ry radiance fall	H
Light'ning the scene beneath a scene divine	U
Where faints clouds seraphs intermingled shine	U
	-
	-
Here water falls that play melodious round	V
Like a sweet organ swell a lofty sound	V
The solemn notes bid earthly passions fly	Q
Lull all my cares and lift my soul on high	Q
	-
	-
This monumental marble this I rear	P
To one Oh ever mourn'd Oh ever dear	P
He stopt pathetic sighs the pause supply	Q
And the prompt tear starts quiv'ring on his eye	Q
	-
	-
I look'd two columns near the wall were seen	S
An imag'd beauty stretch'd at length between	S
Near the wept fair her harp Cecilia strung	W
Leaning from high a list'ning angel hung	W
Friendship whose figure at the feet remains	L
A phoenix with irradiate crest sustains	L
This grac'd one palm while one extends t'impart	X
Two foreign hands that clasp a burning heart	X
A pendent veil two hov'ring seraphs raise	L
Which opening heav'n upon the roof displays	L
And two benevolent less distant hold	C
A vase collective of perfumes uproll'd	C
These from the heart by Friendship held arise	L
Od'rous as incense gath'ring in the skies	L
In the fond pelican is love exprest	C
Who opens to her young her tender breast	C
Two mated turtles hov'ring hang in air	Y
One by a faulcon struck In wild despair	Y
The hermit cries So death alas destroys	L
The tender consort of my cares and joys	L
Again soft tears upon his eye lid hung	W
Again check'd sounds dy'd flutt'ring on his tongue	W
Too well his pining inmost thought I know	E
Too well e'en silence tells the story'd woe	E
To his my sighs to his my tears reply	Q
I stray o'er all the tomb a wat'ry eye	Q
	-
	-
Next on the wall her scenes of life I gaz'd	C
The form back leaning by a globe half rais'd	C
Cherubs a proffer'd crown of glory show	E
Ey'd wistful by th' admiring fair below	E
In action eloquent dispos'd her hands	L
One shows her breast in rapture one expands	L
This the fond hermit seiz'd o'er all his soul	Z
The soft wild wailing am'rous passion stole	Z
In stedfast gaze his eyes her aspect keep	A2
Then turn away awhile dejected weep	A2
Then he reverts 'em but reverts in vain	B2
Dimm'd with the swelling grief that streams again	C2
Where now is my philosophy he cries	L
My joy hope reason my Olympia dies	L
Why did I e'er that prime of blessings know	E
Was it ye cruel fates t'embitter woe	E
Why would your bolts not level first my head	C
Why must I live to weep Olympia dead	C
Sir I had once a wife fair bloom'd her youth	D2
Her form was beauty and her soul was truth	D2
Oh she was dear How dear what words can say	L
She dies my heav'n at once is snatch'd away	L
Ah what avails that by a father's care	Y
I rose a wealthy and illustrious heir	Y
That early in my youth I learn'd to prove	E2
Th' instructive pleasing academic grove	F2
That in the senate eloquence was mine	U
That valour gave me in the field to shine	U
That love show'r'd blessings too far more than all	H
High rapt ambition e'er could happy call	H
Ah What are these which e'en the wise adore	G2
Lost is my pride Olympia is no more	G2
Had I ye persecuting pow'rs been born	M
The world's cold pity or at best its scorn	M
Of wealth of rank of kindred warmth bereft	C
To want to shame to ruthless censure left	C
Patience or pride to this relief supplies	L
But a lost wife there there distraction lies	L
	-
	-
Now three sad years I yield me all to grief	H2
And fly the hated comfort of relief	H2
Tho' rich great young I leave a pompous seat	C
My brother's now to seek some dark retreat	C
Mid cloister'd solitary tombs I stray	L
Despair and horror lead the cheerless way	L
My sorrow grows to such a wild excess	L
Life injur'd life must wish the passion less	L
Olympia My Olympia's lost I cry	Q
Olympia's lost the hollow vaults reply	Q
Louder I make my lamentable moan	I
The swelling echoes learn like me to groan	I
The ghosts to scream as thro' lone aisles they sweep	A2
The shrines to shudder and the saints to weep	A2
	-
	-
Now grief and rage by gath'ring sighs supprest	C
Swell my full heart and heave my lab'ring breast	C
With struggling starts each vital string they strain	B2
And strike the tott'ring fabric of my brain	B2
O'er my sunk spirits frowns a vap'ry scene	S
Woe's dark retreat the madding maze of spleen	S
A deep damp gloom o'erspreads the murky cell	I2
Here pining thoughts and secret terrors dwell	I2
Here learn the Great unreal wants to feign	B2
Unpleasing truths here mortify the vain	B2
Here learning blinded first and then beguil'd	C
Looks dark as Ignorance as Frenzy wild	C
Here first Credulity on Reason won	J2
And here false Zeal mysterious rants begun	J2
Here Love inpearls each moment with a tear	Y
And Superstition owes to Spleen her fear	P

Fantastic lightnings thro' the dreary way	L
In swift short signals flash the b	K2
