Nothing romantic has the Muse prescrib'd ; Above*, Lorenzo saw the man of earth, * In a former Night. Digitized by VjOOQIC J NIGHT VIII. 107 The mortal man, and wretched was the sight. To balance that, to comfort and exalt, Now see the man immortal ; him, 1 mean, Who lives as such ; whose heart, full bent on heaven, Leans all that way, his bias to the stars. The world's dark shades, in contrast set, shall raise His lustre more, tho* bright without a foil. Observe his awful portrait, and admire ...! Nor stop at wonder ; imitate, and live. Some angel guide my pencil, while I draw, What nothing less than angel can exceed, A man on earth devoted to the skies ; Like ships in seas, while in, above the world. With aspect mild, and elevated eye, Behold him seated on a mount serene, Above the fogs of sense, and passion's storm : All the black cares and tumults of this life, Like harmless thunders, breaking at his feet, Excite his pity, not impair his peace. Earth's genuine sons, the sceptred and the slave, A mingled mob !
