With sweet swift Ariel how I soar'd and stirr'd

The fragrant blooms of spiritual bow'rs!

'Twas they endear'd what I have still preferr'd,

Nature's blest attributes and balmy pow'rs,

Her hills and vales and brooks, sweet birds and flow'rs."

CXVI.

"Wherefore with all true loyalty and duty

Will I regard them in my honoring rhyme,

With love for love, and homages to beauty,

And magic thoughts gather'd in night's cool clime,
