Upon Hawthornden's Muse.
By the Same.
Here Mighty Damon often sat,
When he in heav'nly Numbers writ.
The Place seems pointed out by Fate,
And for a Muse, like his, made fit.
When he in heav'nly Numbers writ.
The Place seems pointed out by Fate,
And for a Muse, like his, made fit.
His Cypress Grove, and easy Poems show,
What Shades like these on Souls like his can do.
This was his Muse. This rais'd the God-like Thought,
Which Art and Judgment to Perfection brought.
What Shades like these on Souls like his can do.
This was his Muse. This rais'd the God-like Thought,
Which Art and Judgment to Perfection brought.
