Synopsis

Excerpt from An Ode

The tranfition from the Giant's fpeech, to that beautiful defcription of the Morning, is truly Pindaric; the fudden apof'trophe to the Sun, is perfeétly fublime; and that to the Moon no lefs tender and pathetic: the defcriptions of the Four Seafons are wonderfully piéturefque, and are not, as ufual, copies drawn from the fcenery of Italian groves, and the plains of Arcadia, but true originals, taken on the fpot in Old England, and formed of ideas intirely new. And the addrefs to Liberty, which concludes this admirable Ode, is far fuperior to any thing of that kind, with which we are fo frequently entertained by our mofl: admired poets; as it is more expreflive of the true fenfe and fpirit of an Englifhman.
