So^oft | have I | invoked | thee for | my Muse,
, , , , ,
And found | such^fair | assist|ance in | my verse
, , 2 , , ,
As eve|ry al|ien pen | hath^got | my use
, , , ,
,
And und|er thee | their po|esy | disperse.
, , , ,
,
Thine^eyes,| that taught | the dumb | on high | to
sing
, , , , ,
And hea|vy ig|norance | aloft | to fly,
, , , , ,
Have ad|ded feath|ers to | the learn|ed's wing
, , , , ,
And giv|en grace | a doub|le maj|esty.
, , , ,
,
Yet be | most^proud | of that | which I |
compile,
, , , , ,
Whose^in|fluence | is thine,| and born | of thee:
, , , ,
,
In oth|ers' works | thou dost | but mend | the
style,
, ,
, , ,
And arts | with thy | sweet* grac|es grac|ed be;
, , , ,
,
But thou | art all | my art,| and dost | advance
, , , , ,
As high | as learn|ing, my / rude ig|norance.
