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