’Mongst horrid shapes, and shrieks, and sights unholy!

Find out [some uncouth cell], 5

Where brooding Darkness spreads his jealous wings,

And the night-raven sings;

There, under ebon shades and low-browed rocks,

As ragged as thy locks,

[In dark Cimmerian desert] ever dwell. 10

But come, thou Goddess fair and free,

In heaven [yclept] Euphrosyne,

And by men heart-easing Mirth;
