— Locke, whose deep searching anxious thought From labouring brain has hap'ly brought The vastest stores of human mind, And seems not to have left behind One single ore to Genius new, Who still his footsteps must pursue, To shew like him the mind of man, In all its God-like noble plan.
Shak. Spcare whose vast and ample mind Scanned all the follies of mankind ; Whose faults pertain'd to the dark age In which he dared to tread the stage; TO THE REGION OF GENIUS. 23 When by unlighten'd people rude... Decency scarce was understood, But lively wit and sterling sense However cloathed ne'er gave offence : Oh ! hadst thou lived in better days, Thine had been the untarnished bays — Nor must I pass with careless eye Harvey who in Genius' Court stands high ; He teaches wisdom from each thing That can instruction to man bring, From the sweet flowers that annual bloom, To man's last study, — his own tomb. And from the sculptured stone does teach Truths solemn and within man's reach. Pope, whose mellifluous verse is sung As sweetest in our native tongue ; His dulcet numbers softly fall As honied dew, and give to all The varied subjects of his song The praise that does to him belong, Whether descriptive he does lead Our footsteps, Windsor, o'er thy mead ; Or seats us deep within thy wood That fringes o'er Lodona's flood ; Or gives with full and lavish hand, As present to his native land, 24 THE VISIT OF INNOCENCE Those stores that Homer heretofore Expended o'er the Grecian shore ; But now by Pope's bright Genius drest Shines brighter far than first exprest ; Si ill equal pleasure thou dost give \Vho to fair Poesy do live, Can taste her charms, her raptures know, And feel for her their bosoms glow ; Thy Essays too, do plainly shew The noblest work of " God" below, And the bright crown of his vast plan An honest and an upright man — But let me not forget to note That brightest thing thou ever wrote, Amidst thy works, most noble, rare, That pattern for each Christian prayer ; Universal be it, as in name, Immortal as its Author's fame — Thou too, our Addison, whose mind Was dear to all of human kind ; Firm and correct, in duty sure, And with Angelic sweetness pure ; Tho' gay thy fancy, strong thy sense, Thy want of decency ne'er gave offence j The chastest eyes might read thy page, Nor feel indignant anger rage, TO THE REGION OF GENIUS.
