Her burning faculties, and with the wings

Of thy unspherèd flame visit'st the springs

Of spirits immortal! Now (as swift as Time

Doth follow Motion) find th' eternal clime

Of his free soul, whose living subject[56] stood

Up to the chin in the Pierian flood,190

And drunk to me half this Musæan story,

Inscribing it to deathless memory:

Confer with it, and make my pledge as deep,

That neither's draught be consecrate to sleep;
