XXVI.

While Hayley wakes thy magic string,

His shades shall no rude sound profane,

But stillness on her folded wing,

Enamour'd catch his soothing strain:

Tho' genius breathe its purest flame

--Around his lyre's enchanting frame;

Tho' music there in every period roll,

More warm his friendship, and more pure his soul.
