The world was made for man, but made
Wisely a steep difficulty to be climbed,
That he, so labouring the stubborn slant,
May step from off the world with a well-used courage,
All slouch

fought out of him, a man
Well worthy of a Heaven.

The night--that follow'd the disastrous blow
Which my spent sun removed in heaven to glow,
And left me here a blind and desolate man--
Now far advanced, to spread o'er earth began
The sweet spring dew which
harbingers
the dawn,
When slumber's veil and visions are withdrawn;
When, crown'd with oriental gems, and bright
As newborn day, upon my tranced sight
My Lady lighted from her starry sphere:
With kind speech and soft sigh, her hand so dear.

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,
When thy sweet smile I see.

I made the father and the son rebel against each other''
Dante Inferno XXVIII, 134-136
The joyful
springtime
pleases me
That makes the leaves and flowers appear,
I'm pleased to hear the gaiety
Of birds, those echoes in the ear,
Of song through greenery;
I'm pleased when I see the field
With tents and pavilions free,
And joy then comes to me
All through the meadowlands to see
The heavy-armoured cavalry.

The close union of the
arts of
prophecy
and song explains his additional office of god of
music, while the arrows with which he and his sister were armed,

Iliad - Pope |

SOON on the floor was seen this boorish wight;
For, whether that the chair was rather slight,
Or that the composition of the clown
Was not, like that of geese, of softest down,
Or that Theresa, by her gay discourse,
Had
penetrated
to the mystick source,
The am'rous pulpit suddenly gave way,
And on the ground the rustick quickly lay.
