With brutal shape he join’d the human face,

And idiot smiles approved the motley race.

Harmless at length th’ unhappy man was found,

The spirit settled, but the reason drown’d;

And all the dreadful tempest died away

To the dull stillness of the misty day.

And now his freedom he attain’d - if free

The lost to reason, truth, and hope, can be;

His friends, or wearied with the charge, or sure

The harmless wretch was now beyond a cure,
