] Nature work'd Wonders then; when _Shakespear_ dy'd Her _Cowley_ rose, drest in her gaudy Pride. So from great Ruins a new Life she calls, And Builds an _Ovid[3]_ when a _Tully_ Falls.
[3] _Ovid_ was born the same year in which _Cicero_ dy'd.
With what Delight he tunes his Silver-Strings, And _David's_ Toils in _David's_ numbers Sings? Hark! how he Murmurs to the Fields and Groves, His rural Pleasures, and his various Loves, Yet every Line so Innocent and Clear, _Hermits_ may read them to ...a Virgin's Ear. Unstoln _Promethean_ Fire informs his Song, Rich is his Fancy, his Invention strong. His Wit, unfathom'd, has a fresh Supply, Is always flowing-out, but never Dry.
Sure the profuseness of a boundless Thought, Unjustly is imputed for a Fault. A Spirit, that is unconfin'd and free, Should hurry forward, like the Wind or Sea. Which laughs at Laws and Shackles, when a Vain Presuming _Xerxes_ shall pretend to Reign, And on the flitting Air impose his pond'rous Chain.
