and insert there,

As far as mortal eyes the portrait scan,

These lineaments of beauty which delight.
Verse 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 inmost frame
Unbidden mufic; so hath Nature's hand
To certain fpecies of external things
Attuned the finer organs of the mind :
So the glad impulse of congenial powers,
Or of sweet sound, or fair proportion’d form,
The grace of motion,

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 resigns
Her functions. Then the inexpreffive strain
Diffuseth its enchantment. Fancy dreams,
Rapt into high discourse with sainted bards,
And wandering thro Elysium, fancy dreams
Of mystic fountains, and inspiring groves ;
Fountains the haunt of Orpheus; happy groves
Where Milton dwells. The intellectual power
Bends from his folemn throne a wondering ear
And smiles. The passions to divine repose
Persuaded yield: and love and joy alone
Are waking; love and joy, such as await
An abgel's meditation. O! attend, &c.
