O THOU which to search out the secret parts br Of the India, or rather Paradise br Of knowledge, hast with courage and advice br Lately launch'd into the vast sea of arts ; br Disdain not in thy constant travelling br To do as other voyagers, and make br Some turns into less creeks, and wisely take br Fresh water at the Heliconian spring. br I sing not, siren-like, to tempt, for I br Am harsh ; nor as those schismatics with you, br Which draw all wits of good hope to their crew ; br But seeing in you bright sparks of poetry, br I, though I brought no fuel, had desire br With these articulate blasts to blow the fire.
