Look down upon your taper, through a watch

Of midnight hours, unseasonably twinkling

In this deep Hollow, like a sullen star

Dimly reflected in a lonely pool.

Take courage, and withdraw yourself from ways

That run not parallel to nature's course.

Rise with the lark! your matins shall obtain

Grace, be their composition what it may,

If but with hers performed;[EN] climb once again,

Climb every day, those ramparts;[EO] meet the breeze
