A radiant spirit, I’ll nightly wait,
And throw new light on the long debate,
And thwart Ambition’s schemes.
I’ll sit me down by the statesman, too,
Engage in whatever he chance to do,
Read all his documents through and through,
And enlighten his darkest dreams.
I’ll then to the hall of mirth advance,
Pour Love’s own light on the joyous dance,
Give life and point to the speaking glance,
