Yet, at thy CALL the hardy pursued
Pale, but intrepid, sad, but unsubdued,
Pierced the deep woods, and haling from afar

The speed of light, the crcng march of sound

"Ihe Swedish sage admires, in yonder bowers,
His winged insects and his rosy flowers;
Calls from their woodland haunts the savage train,
With sounding horn, and counts them on the plain
So once, at heavens command ,ethe wanderers came

From streams that wander in eternal light

Her moonlight halo on thy beauteous head
Shall swell thy heart rapture unconfned
And breathe holy madness DER thy mind

And read the trembling world the tales of hell.

And plead in Beautys ear, plead in vain

And teach mpassion'd souls the Joy of grief?

Whose passion ouch'd harmonious strings accord
True as the circling spheres to natures plan;
And man, the brother, lives the friend of man.
