Ye Sons of Art once more renew your Strains;In loftier Verse, and loftier Lays,
Your Voices raise
To MUSICK's Praise!
A Nobler Song remains.
Sing how the Great Creator-God
On Wings of flaming Cherubs rode,
166
Turn'd the Golden Compasses,
The Compasses in Fate's High Storehouse found;
Thus far extend, He said, be this,
O World, thy Measur'd Bound.
Mean while a thousand Harps were play'd on high;
Be this thy Measur'd Bound,
Was echo'd all around:
And now arise, Ye Earth and Seas, and Sky!
A Thousand Voices made Reply,
Arise, Ye Earth and Seas, and Sky!
