130 A SEQUEL TO IX, These are the spectacles that may controul Imagination with resistless power ;— These are the voices speaking to the soul With the impressiveness of danger’s hour : Then, as such scenes athwart the memory roll, | May the bright wings of true religion tower, Like those of eagles on their trackless way, Requiring space unbounded for their play. X, I know not what inspired this train of thought, When I sate down my story to continue : Reader, if your approval can be bought By frankness, then my verse is sure to win you ; And should some change of sentiment be wrought, And early prejudices crushed within you, You will rejoice that you_have read my strain, And I shall feel that ’tis not sung in vain !
