A mournful visionary light o’erspreads 95

The chearful face of nature: earth becomes

A dreary desart, and heaven frowns above.

Then various shapes of curs’d illusion rise;

Whate’er the wretched fears, creating Fear

Forms out of nothing; and with monsters teems 100

Unknown in hell. The prostrate soul beneath

A load of huge imagination heaves.

And all the horrors, that the guilty feel,

With anxious flutterings wake the guiltless breast.
