ОглавлениеThus sung, or would, or could, or should have sung,
The modern Greek, in tolerable verse;
If not like Orpheus quite, when Greece was young,
Yet in these times he might have done much worse:
His strain displayed some feeling—right or wrong;
And feeling,203 in a poet, is the source
Of others' feeling; but they are such liars,
And take all colours—like the hands of dyers.
