This Temple[HD]—Angels governed by a plan

Thus far pursued (how gloriously!) by Man,[485]

Studious that He might not disdain the seat

Who dwells in heaven! But that aspiring heat

Hath failed; and now, ye Powers! whose gorgeous wings

And splendid aspect yon emblazonings

But faintly picture, 'twere an office meet

For you, on these unfinished shafts to try

The midnight virtues of your harmony:—

This vast design might tempt you to repeat
