ODES.
Faints the cold work till thou inspire the whole;
What each, what all supply, 45
May court, may charm, our eye;
Thou, only thou, canst raise the meeting soul!
What each, what all supply, 45
May court, may charm, our eye;
Thou, only thou, canst raise the meeting soul!
Of these let others ask,
To aid some mighty task, 50
I only seek to find thy temperate vale;
Where oft my reed might sound
To maids and shepherds round,
And all thy sons, O Nature, learn my tale.
