It grates in discord on his tuneful ear. The critic's sceptre he sublimely holds, While truth's bright torch each dignity unfolds; Pleased with the bards, he shews their just degree And Time, enraptured, sanctions the decree. •'Each bard, " said Fame, "will soon be known to you, " And in a moment vanished from my view.
D 38 BRITISH GENIUS.
I soon perceived the wasting hand of Time Was interfering in this scene subhme, For of the verdant laurels of the bards, Some he revives, and others disregar...ds; Nor years alone their verdure had defaced, Nor they decayed as centuries increased ; For some, who first an entrance had obtained. Their vernal bloom and brilliancy retained.
As when at eve we view the spangled sky, And mark the glorious firmament on high, Where stars in thousands twinkle to the sight, Each with its meed of heaven-proportioned light: Thus ranged, they deck the canopy divine, 'Till Cynthia rising, all the stars outshine. So here, each bard, by fame in order placed, Had long the records of the Temple graced; Alike, or near, their just applause had been, * Till Shakspere burst in splendour on the scene^ The vernal laurels which his brows adorn, More lovely bloom, and brighten ev'ry morn.
