Rude intercourse; apt agents to expel,[738]
By importation of unlooked-for arts,
Barbarian torpor, and blind prejudice;
Raising, through just gradation, savage life
To rustic, and the rustic to urbane.
—Within their moving magazines is lodged
Power that comes forth to quicken and exalt
Affections[739] seated in the mother's breast,
And in the lover's fancy; and to feed
The sober sympathies of long-tried friends.
