And for its wilds a husbandman, acclaims
The crucifix that came of Nazareth.
A LATER ALEXANDRIAN.
An inspiration caught from dubious hues,
Filled him, and mystic wrynesses he chased;
For they lead farther than the single-faced,
Wave subtler promise when desire pursues.
The moon of cloud discoloured was his Muse,
His pipe the reed of the old moaning waste.
