XCIII.

Art unobtrusive there ennobles form,[50]

Each pure chaste outline exquisitely flows;

There e’en the steed, withhold expression warm,[51]

Is clothed with majesty, with being glows.

One mighty mind hath harmonised the whole;

Those varied groups the same bright impress bear;

One beam and essence of exalting soul

Lives in the grand, the delicate, the fair;

And well that pageant of the glorious dead

Blends us with nobler days, and loftier spirits fled.
