Clothed in all passion's melodies: such first

Caught me and set me, slave of a sweet task,

To disentangle, gather sense from song:

Since, song-inwoven, lurked there words which seemed

A key to a new world, the muttering

Of angels, something yet unguessed by man.

How my heart leapt as still I sought and found

Much there, I felt my own soul had conceived,

But there living and burning! Soon the orb

Of his conceptions dawned on me; its praise
