------ Propitious Muse,
While I so late unlock thy hallow'd Springs,
And breathe whate'er thy ancient Airs infuse,
To polish Albion's warlike Ear
This long-lost melody to hear,
Thy sweetest Arts employ;
As when the Winds, from Shore to Shore,
Through Greece thy Lyre's persuasive Language bore,
Till Towns, and Isles, and Seas return'd the vocal Joy.
Akenside on Lyric Poetry.
