Letras
At Shakespeare’s happy birth,
With fire etherial, Jove his soul endow’d;
Then bade him spurn the narrow bounds of earth,
And sordid wishes of the grov’ling crowd
That chain the free-born mind. ‘And take’, he said,
‘This sacred charge, O Fancy. To his sight glancing,
In all their colours be display’d
The airy forms which sport
In thy pure fields of light.
For his vast mind, with innate wisdom fraught,
Beyond what taught the bards of yore,
Thy trackless regions boldly shall explore,
I guiding. Thus, O goddess, have I sworn.’
Written by: French Lawrence, Thomas Linley, Jr.
