IV

And once to him the Mountain spake,
“Climb! Here canst larger music make!
I know thy heart, and all its ache!
For, since thy craving is and ban
Conquest of earth to plan,
And to come up as if by right
All the kingdoms of earth to scan
With the soul and the sight of a seraph,
The strength of a man,
Therefore, lest it should break,
Thy heart for my arch-lute I take;
My tarns and ghylls shall sing through thee
All Olympus and all Thessaly!”
