ON A STATUE OF APOLLO. - ZaunköniG - 20.12.2012 All that admiring estimates is seen, The graceful inclination as 'twould tend Where all attractive excellence has been, Musing as would a fine preceptor, friend ; Not style alone that of loveliness speaks, But as if th' intellect was glancing o'er, All that in charm-invested beauty breaks, Chaste genius will in its power adore ; Oh, thus could the vainly aspiring thought Desire such fervid inspiration brought, That would endue with mental puissance bright ; With radiant airiness of Fancy's pow'r As compressing immortality's hour In its charm'd circle of creative light. |
