Sense feels the charm, and Nature all approves;

While spirit talks with spirit, as it loves.

Ah! know how nought to flesh itself the whole

You sell life for; how hateful to the soul!

‘Musical as is Apollo’s Lute’

Bk. IV. vv. 1-25

I know a dell the Muses haunt; lone scene,

Where ne’er ere now had mortal footstep been.

Curious they what wand’rer should invade
