Page 134 - O'er all the soul his sacred influence breathes ! Inflames imagination ; through the breast Infuses every tenderness ; and far Beyond dim earth exalts the swelling thought. Ten thousand thousand fleet ideas, such As never mingled with the vulgar dream, Crowd fast into the mind's creative eye. As fast the correspondent passions rise, As varied, and as high : devotion...
Page 306 - With soft enjoyments wooes them to forget The hardy toils and labours of the great : But if the warlike trumpet's loud alarms To virtuous acU excite, and manly arms, The coward boy avows his abject fear, On silken wings sublime he cuts the air, Scared at the noble noise and thunder of the war.
