Fair thy renown

In awful sages and in noble bards;

Soon as the light of dawning Science spread

Her orient ray, and waked the Muses’ song.

. . . . . .

For lofty sense,

Creative fancy, and inspection keen

Through the deep windings of the human heart,

Is not wild Shakespeare thine and Nature’s boast?

The Seasons: Summer. 1727, ll. 1442-6, 1479-83, 1531-4, and 1563-6.
