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
