A hut, by tufted trees defended.

Upon a rising ground a grey church-tower,
Whose battlements were screened by tufted trees.

[A chapel] tufted with an ivy grove.
Towers and battlements it sees

Bosom'd high in tufted trees.

On a plat of rising ground.

Dear Liberty! stern Nymph of soul untamed;
Sweet Nymph, O rightly of the mountains named!
The mountain nymph, sweet Liberty.

For they have learnt to open and to close
The ridges of grim war.

Expert... to... open when, and when to close
The ridges of grim war.

Like the bright confines of another world.
Of those bright confines [heaven].

I sing: "fit audience let me find though few!"
So prayed, more gaining than he asked, the Bard
In holiest mood. Urania, I shall need
Thy guidance, or a greater Muse, if such
Descend to earth or dwell in highest heaven!
Descend from Heaven, Urania. . . .

.. Still govern thou my song,
Urania, and fit audience find, though few.
Under the covert of these clustering elms.
Under the covert of some ancient oak.

That left half-told the preternatural tale.
That left half told The story.

Commenced in pain,

In pain commenced, and ended without peace.
Though fall'n on evil days,

On evil days though fall'n, and evil tongues.

Yet cease I not to struggle, and aspire.
Yet not the more

Cease I to wander where the Muses haunt.

Who dwell on earth, yet breathe empyreal air.

I have presumed,

An earthly guest, and drawn empyreal air.

("Empyreal air" occurs again in Epitaphs from Chiabrera, viii. 20, and "empyreal" in five other places.)

(This appears to be a reference to God's talks with Adam and Eve, the
visit of Raphael, Michael, etc., in Paradise Lost. Lines 634-7 seem to
refer to the passages,

How often, from the steep

Of echoing hill or thicket, have we heard

(Wordsworth's "Self-reviewed, self-catechised, self-punished, ib. vi. 386–
7, seems made by analogy to this line of Milton's and similar ones: e. g.,
P. L. ii. 185, iii. 372-5, and particularly iii. 130, "self-tempted, self-
depraved.")

That mixture of earth's mould.

Can any mortal mixture of earth's mould.

A many-windowed fabric huge.

Strains that call forth upon empyreal ground

Immortal Fabrics, rising to the sound

Of penetrating harps and voices sweet.
Rising like an exhalation.

Anon out of the earth a fabric huge
Rose like an exhalation, with the sound
Of dulcet symphonies and voices sweet.

Thus was a Brother by a Brother saved;

With whom a crown (temptation that hath set
Discord in hearts of men till they have braved
Their nearest kin with deadly purpose met)
'Gainst duty weighed, and faithful love, did seem
A thing of no esteem.

Thus was a Brother sav'd by a Brother, to whom love of a
Crown, the thing that so often dazles, and vitiats mortal
men, for which, thousands of neerest blood have destroy'd
each other, was in respect of Brotherly dearness, a con-
temptible thing.

Bisect her orbed shield.

Gripe fast his orbed shield.

But with majestic lowliness endued.
With lowliness majestic.

Your once sweet memory, studious walks and shades!
Her sweet recess... studious walks and shades.

Said... "He only is a King, and he alone

Deserves the name (this truth the billows preach)

...

Whose everlasting laws, sea, earth, and heaven, obey." Fact and Imagination, 6-14. The Sea, as before, came rowling on. . . . Wherat the King [Canute] quickly riseing ... [said] that none indeed deserv'd the name of a King, but he whose Eternal Laws both Heav'n, Earth, and Sea obey.

"A little onward lend thy guiding hand To these dark steps, a little further on!" A little onward lend thy guiding hand

To these dark steps, a little further on.

Thy nymph-like step swift bounding o'er the lawn.
If chance with nymph-like step fair virgin pass.

Such as the meeting soul may pierce.

That Roland clove with huge two-handed sway.
The sword of Michael smote, and fell'd
Squadrons at once: with huge two-handed sway.

Down the irriguous valley.

Some irriguous valley.

Thus after Man had fallen . . .

Throngs of celestial visages,

Darkening like water in the breeze,

A holy sadness shared.

Soon as the unwelcome news

From Earth arrived at Heaven gate, dis pleased
All were who heard; dim sadness did not spare
That time celestial visages.

Fetch, ye that post o'er seas and lands.

O whither with such eagerness of speed?...
.... thus post ye over vale and height
To rest?

Thousands at his bidding speed,

And post o'er land and ocean without rest.

As the dread Voice that speaks from out the sea.
The dread voice is past.

Springs from the ground the morn to gratulate.
To gratulate the sweet return of morn.

Not Iris, issuing from her cloudy shrine.
Met by the rainbow's form divine,
Issuing from her cloudy shrine.
Transplanted from her cloudy shrine.

Gales sweet as those that over Eden blew.
Now gentle gales,

Fanning their odoriferous wings, dispense
Native perfumes, and whisper whence they stole
Those balmy spoils. [Describing Eden.]
