Strana 3 - Invoke thy aid to my advent'rous song, That with no middle flight intends to soar 15 Above th' Aonian mount, while it pursues Things unattempted yet in prose, or rhyme. And chiefly Thou, O SPIRIT ! that dost prefer Before all temples the upright heart and pure, Instruct me, for Thou knowest: Thou from the first
Strana xi - the invocation of Dame Memory, and her Syren daughters; but by devout prayer to that Eternal Spirit, who can enrich with all utterance and knowledge, and sends out his Seraphim with the hallowed fire of his altar, to touch and purify the lips of whom he pleases.
Strana 10 - shield, 285 Ethereal temper, massy, large, and round, Behind him cast: the broad circumference Hung on his shoulders like the moon, whose orb Through optic glass the Tuscan artist views At ev'ning, from the top of Fesole, 290 Or in Valdarno, to descry new lands, Rivers, or mountains, in her spotty globe.
