and infert thefe,

As far as mortal eyes the portrait scan,
These lineaments of beauty which delight.
Verfe 109-132. read as follows:

As Memnon's marble form, renown'd of old
By fabling Nilus, at the potent touch
Of Morning utter'd from its inmoft frame
Unbidden mufic; fo hath Nature's hand
To certain fpecies of external things
Attuned the finer organs of the mind:
So the glad impulfe of congenial powers,
Or of sweet found, or fair proportion'd form,
The grace of motion, or the pomp of light,
Shoots thro imagination's tender frame;
Thro every naked nerve; till all the foul
To that harmonious movement now refigns
Her functions. Then the inexpreffive ftrain
Diffuseth its enchantment. Fancy dreams,
Rapt into high difcourfe with fainted bards,
And wandering thro Elysium, fancy dreams
Of myftic fountains, and infpiring groves;
Fountains the haunt of Orpheus; happy groves
Where Milton dwells. The intellectual power
Bends from his folemn throne a wondering ear
And fimiles. The paffions to divine repose
Perfuaded yield and love and joy alone
Are waking; love and joy, fuch as await
An angel's meditation. O! attend, &c.

And mocks poffeffion? Why departs the foul

And aw'd with dubious notion, tho at length
Benighted, terrified, afflicted, loft,

She leave him to converfe with cells, and graves,
And shapes of death; to liften all alone,
And, by the fcreaming owl's accurfed fong,
To watch the dreadful workings of his heart;
Or talk with spectres on eternal woe;
