Who mock the Babbling of her loudest Note;
From Heaven he stole Description, Nature's Key,
And loosen'd into Light her Mysteries;
Ambition started when he sang of War,
In Language all her own; and o'er his Lyre
Hung Devastation, glowing at the Sound,
50
And frantic for the Field; and there Distress,
As if enamour'd of the Mighty Man,
With cruel Constancy repaid his Muse;
