‘Art thou not Lucifer? he to whom the droves

Of stars that gild the morn in charge were given?

The nimblest of the lightning-winged loves?

The fairest and the first-born smile of Heav’n?

Look in what pomp the mistress planet moves,

Reverently circled by the lesser seven:

Such and so rich the flames that from thine eyes

Opprest the common people of the skies?

Ah! wretch! what boots it to cast back thine eyes

Where dawning hope no beam of comfort shews?’ &c.
