Far in a wild, unknown to public view,
From youth to age, a rev'rend Hermit grew;
The moss his bed, the cave his humble cell,
His food the fruits, his drink the crystal well;
Remote from man, with God he pass'd his days,
Prayer all his business-all his pleasure praise.
A little lowly Hermitage it was, Down in a dale hard by a forest side,
Farre from resort of people that did pass In travell to and fro: a little wide
There was an holy chapel edified,
Wherein the Hermit duly went to say
His holy things each morn and evening tide:
Thereby a crystal streame did gently play.

SPIRIT of Poesy! whose lovely rays
Their soothing influence have deign'd to cast
O'er the still current of my silent days,
And ting'd them with thy glory as they pass'd
To find Eternity's wide sea at last.
Spirit of Poesy! whose lightest tone
Has been to me a witchery and a spell;
Whose visions oft have blest my musings lone,
And whose bright essence, in the deepest cell
Of my heart's worship, still has deign'd to dwell;
Assist me now! and may thy numbers, wreathing
With the wild notes of my unpractis'd song,
And o'er my strains the rapt enchantments breathing,
Which to thy heaven-taught Lyre alone belong,
Blend its sweet tones my humble verse among:
And may thy mantle, Scorr! on me descend,
The warm admirer of thy minstrelsy
