FRAGMENT. ON THE DEATH OF GRAY.
Well was he skill'd in old Poetic Lore—
Not such alone as Greece or Latium sung—
He dar'd thro' Gothic Darkness to explore;
And strike the Lyre shat Runic Bards had strung.
Not such alone as Greece or Latium sung—
He dar'd thro' Gothic Darkness to explore;
And strike the Lyre shat Runic Bards had strung.
Heard ye that sound!—Alas! who has not heard?
The magic Voice still vibrates in my ear,
What time great Odin's sable Form appear'd,
And Hela's Confines trembled at his Spear.
