As once if not with light regard	A
I read aright that gifted bard	A
Him whose school above the rest	B
His loveliest Elfin Queen has blest	B
One only one unrival'd fair	C
Might hope the magic girdle wear	C
At solemn tourney hung on high	D
The wish of each love darting eye	D
Lo to each other nymph in turn applied	E
As if in air unseen some hov'ring hand	F
Some chaste and angel friend to virgin fame	G
With whisper'd spell had burst the starting band	F
It left unblest her loath'd dishonour'd side	E
Happier hopeless fair if never	H
Her baffled hand with vain endeavour	H
Had touch'd that fatal zone to her denied	E
Young Fancy thus to me divinest name	G
To whom prepar'd and bath'd in Heav'n	I
The cest of amplest pow'r is giv'n	I
To few the god like gift assigns	J
To gird their blest prophetic loins	J
And gaze her visions wild and feel unmix'd her flame	G
	-
The band as fairy legends say	J
Was wove on that creating day	J
When He who call'd with thought to birth	K
Yon tented sky this laughing earth	K
And dress'd with springs and forests tall	L
And pour'd the main engirting all	L
Long by the lov'd enthusiast woo'd	M
Himself in some diviner mood	M
Retiring sate with her alone	I
And plac'd her on his sapphire throne	I
The whiles the vaulted shrine around	N
Seraphic wires were heard to sound	N
Now sublimest triumph swelling	O
Now on love and mercy dwelling	O
And she from out the veiling cloud	P
Breath'd her magic notes aloud	P
And thou thou rich hair'd youth of morn	I
And all thy subject life was born	I
The dang'rous Passions kept aloof	Q
Far from the sainted growing woof	Q
But near it sate ecstatic Wonder	H
List'ning the deep applauding thunder	H
And Truth in sunny vest array'd	R
By whose the tarsel's eyes were made	R
All the shad'wy tribes of mind	S
In braided dance their murmurs join'd	T
And all the bright uncounted Pow'rs	J
Who feed on Heav'n's ambrosial flow'rs	J
Where is the bard whose soul can now	I
Its high presuming hopes avow	I
Where he who thinks with rapture blind	S
This hallow'd work for him design'd	S
	-
High on some cliff to Heav'n up pil'd	U
Of rude access of prospect wild	U
Where tangled round the jealous steep	V
Strange shades o'erbrow the valleys deep	V
And holy genii guard the rock	W
Its glooms embrown its springs unlock	W
While on its rich ambitious head	X
An Eden like his own lies spread	X
I view that oak the fancied glades among	Y
By which as Milton lay his ev'ning ear	Z
From many a cloud that dropp'd ethereal dew	A2
Nigh spher'd in Heav'n its native strains could hear	Z
On which that ancient trump he reach'd was hung	Y
Thither oft his glory greeting	O
From Waller's myrtle shades retreating	O
With many a vow from Hope's aspiring tongue	Y
My trembling feet his guiding steps pursue	A2
In vain such bliss to one alone	I
Of all the sons of soul was known	I
And Heav'n and Fancy kindred pow'rs	A2
Have now o'erturn'd th' inspiring bow'rs	A2
Or curtain'd close such scene from ev'ry future view	A2
