Those constant curst attendants of the great,

I freely can with my own thoughts converse,

And cloath them in ignoble verse,

’Tis then I tast the most delicious feast of life;

There, uncontroul’d, I can my self survey,

And from observers free,

My intellectual pow’rs display,

And all th’ opening scenes of beauteous Nature see:

Form bright ideas, and enrich my mind,

Enlarge my knowledge, and each error find;
