Thy mountain notes with simple skill;

Or on thy head to poise a show

Of Images[520] in seemly row;

The graceful form of milk-white Steed,

Or Bird that soared with Ganymede;[IE]

Or through our hamlets thou wilt bear

The sightless Milton, with his hair

Around his placid temples curled;

And Shakspeare at his side—a freight,

If clay could think and mind were weight,
