Prompt the bright thought, and swell th' harmonious line;

Uphold my pinions, and my verse inspire

With Winsor's[50] patent gas, or wind of fire,

In whose pure blaze thy embryo form enroll'd,

The dark enlightens, and enchafes the cold.

But, while I court thy gifts, be mine to shun

The deprecated prize Ulysses won;

Who, sailing homeward from thy breezy shore,

The prison'd winds in skins of parchment bore.
