The miscellaneous works (1739) | ||
SOLILOQUY XVII.
Be hush'd, ye gentle pow'rs, of harmony,Whatever soothing sounds in nature lie!
Whatever art, thro' all her wide controul
Of changing notes, has found to touch the soul,
Be hush'd for ever! while my thoughts attend
That voice which might ev'n hell itself suspend,
Lull all its anguish, calm its fiercest pains,
Open its gates, and loose th' infernal chains;
That sacred voice, whose efficacious sound
Gave motion to the spheres, and set their tuneful round.
O let those charming accents from above
Breathe down celestial harmony and love!
Eternal joys on the smooth current roll,
And boundless pleasure overwhelms my soul.
188
Nor envy seraphim their golden lyres.
