Or, if to touch such chord be thine,Restore the ancient tragic line,And emulate the notes that rungFrom the wild harp, which silent hungBy silver Avons holy shore,Till twice an hundred years rolled oer ;When she, the bold Enchantress, came,With fearless hand and heart on flame !From the pale willow snatched the treasure,. - V ^z ri\jo I HI III) 10: ^^:l
