Whilst thy various powers I sing,
Plunge me beyond mortal sight
In the murky realms of night;
Then direct thy rapid course,
Goddess, with thy wonted force,
Swiftly bear me to the skies
Where the keen-eyed eagle flies,
And with more than mortal might,
Aid my intellectual flight.---

7107,Flights of Fancy,Searching in Google Books,2011-10-06 21:36:06 UTC," What inspires the poet's song?
What bears his rapid tide along?
What assists his daring flight?
What directs his course aright?
Can Roman or can Grecian lore,
Can arts make mighty genius soar?
No--nature tells each generous heart,
That poesy's undeck'd by art;
Let critics, let pedantic fools,
Establish art and settle rules;
'Tis fancy, powerful fancy wings
The poet's flight whene'er he sings,
Fancy strikes the living lyre,
Fancy sheds poetic fire!
