Bid, at starry midnight’s hour,1
Dante’s organ swell with power ;2
Hear at noon, when winds are mute,3
’Mid the woods Petrarca’s lute ;4
Kindling list, at dawn of morn,5
Ariosto’s, bugle horn :6
Let thine ear at lingering eve7
Tasso’s twilight flute receive ;8
That sweet music manifold9
Through the sense the heart may mould.10
