Bursts forth, and sudden wakes the minstrelsy
Of birds and chiming bells;
Thou art my dawn; my soul is as the field,
Where sweetest flowers their balmy perfumes yield
When breathed upon by thee,
Of forest, where thy voice like zephyr plays,
And morn pours out its flood of golden rays,

Yes, I am that
Prometheus
who brought down
The light to man, which thou, in selfish fear,
Hadst to thy self usurped,--his by sole right,
For Man hath right to all save Tyranny,--
And which shall free him yet from thy frail throne.

These lines evidently suggested Carew's poem,
_To my Mistress sitting by a River's Side, An Eddy_:
Mark how yon eddy steals away
From the rude stream into the bay;
There, locked up safe, she doth divorce
Her waters from the channel's course,
And scorns the torrent that did bring
Her
headlong
from her native spring, &c.

In hollow Lacedaemon's spacious vale
Arriving, to the house they drove direct
Of royal Menelaus; him they found
In his own palace, all his num'rous friends
Regaling
at a nuptial banquet giv'n
Both for his daughter and the prince his son.

'
Her pure nails on high dedicating their onyx,
Anguish, at midnight, supports, a lamp-holder,
Many a
twilight
dream burnt by the Phoenix
That won't be gathered in some ashes' amphora
On a table, in the empty room: here is no ptyx,
Abolished bauble of sonorous uselessness,
(Since the Master's gone to draw tears from the Styx
With that sole object, vanity of Nothingness).

Where each thing gets its start in moving on.
