'T'HE poets may of inspiration boast. 



Their rage, ill governed, in the clouds is lost; 

 He that proportioned wonders can disclose. 

 At once his fancy and his judgment shows; 

 Chaste moral writing we may learn from hence. 

 Neglect of which no wit can recompense. 

 The fountain which from Helicon proceeds, 

 That sacred stream should never water weeds. 

 Nor make the cup of thorns and thistles grow. 

 Which en\y or perverted nature sow. - Roscomn. 



.pOETS are limners of another kind, T^ YES planet calm, with something in their visio 



^ To copy our ideas in the mind; ^ That seemed not of earth's mortal mixture bori 



Words are the paint by which their tho'ts are shown, Strange mythic faiths and fantasies Elysian, 



And nature is the object to be drawn. And far, sweet dreams of "fairy lands forlorn. 



—Granville. —Sarah Helen Whitman. 



'T'HE poet's eye. in a fine frenzy rolling, 

 '^ Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven; 

 And, as imagination bodies forth 

 The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen 

 Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing 

 A local habitation and a name. —Shakespeare.
