May crypts Lurk undiscovered! Nor may'st thou spell the names Of saints in storied windows, nor the dates Of bells discover, nor the genuine site Of abbots' pantries!" Warton was a classical scholar and, like most of the forerunners of theromantic school, was a trifle shame-faced over his Gothic heresies. SirJoshua Reynolds had supplied a painted window of classical design for NewCollege, Oxford; and Warton, in some complimentary verses, professes thatthose "portraitures of Attic art" have won ...him back to the true taste;[9]and prophesies that henceforth angels, apostles, saints, miracles, martyrdoms, and tales of legendary lore shall-- "No more the sacred window's round disgrace, But yield to Grecian groups the shining space. . . Thy powerful hand has broke the Gothic chain, And brought my bosom back to truth again. . . For long, enamoured of a barbarous age, A faithless truant to the classic page-- Long have I loved to catch the simple chime Of minstrel harps, and spell the fabling rime; To view the festive rites, the knightly play, That decked heroic Albion's elder day; To mark the mouldering halls of barons bold, And the rough castle, cast in giant mould; With Gothic manners, Gothic arts explore, And muse on the magnificence of yore.
