Young Genius there, while dwells his kindling eye

On forms instinct with bright divinity,

While new-born powers, dilating in his heart,

Embrace the full magnificence of Art;

From scenes by Raphael’s gifted hand array’d,

From dreams of heaven by Angelo portray’d;

From each fair work of Grecian skill sublime,

Seal’d with perfection, “sanctified by time;”

Shall catch a kindred glow, and proudly feel

His spirit burn with emulative zeal:
