Horace.
PART the THIRD.
Now soar, my Muse! and leave the meaner crew[5],
To aim at bliss, and vainly bliss pursue;
Let us (since Man no privilege can claim,
Than a contended, half superior name)
Expatiate o'er the raptures of the Fair,
Vot'ries to stolen joys, but yet sincere;
In secret Haunts, where never day-light gleams
