ON FANCY.

TO him who views the Goddess as she HES
Swift as the light, through eiher's vast extent,
To him nought can remain but strong surprise,
To see her on such length'ned journeys bent.
BEYOND the regions of the neither sky,
Up to the empyrean fields she scars IN haste,
Calls stars her neighbours as she passes by,
Then bounds with rapture through the trackless
waste
Then quick as thought she leaves the high abode
Nor downward tskes the path she upward trod,
But proudly aims TO tread adifferent road
And by another course renevs our clod.
Vain Of her flights, she scorns on earth to dwell
And waited on>lhe wings of fierce desire,
These realms too cold, she quits, and visits he'll
And willingly endures the tedious fire.
Tho earth and seas, and skies, she wings her
way;
From hell to heaven she in a moment bounds,
Nor viii at either deign moments Stays
But follows discontents eternal rounds.
