ORPHEUS. Litntea. 



Now, if the bold but pious thought be thine, 

 To reach our spacious temple's inner shrine, 

 Take in thy reverent hands the crystal stone. 

 Where heavenly light in earthy shroud is shown ;- 

 Where, moulded into measured form, with rays 

 Complex yet clear, the eternal Ether plays ; 

 This if thou firmly hold and rightly use, 

 Not long the gods thy ardent wish refuse.
