POPE.

Hear how Timotheus'vary'd lays surprise,
And bid alternate passions fall and rise.----
The power of music all our hearts allow,
And what Timotheus was is DRYDEN now,

Behold where DRYDE N's Jess presumptuous car
Wide o'er the fields of glory teps
Two coursers of ethereal raça,
With necks in thunder cloáth’dj any long-resounding pace,
Hark, his hands the lyre explore !
Bright-ey'd Fancy hov'ring o'er,
Scatters from her pictur'd urn
Thoughts that breathe, and words that burn,
But an! 'tis heard no more.

GRAY.
