Spirit here that reignest!

Spirit here that painest!

Spirit here that burnest!

Spirit here that mournest!

Spirit, I bow / My forehead low, / Enshaded with thy pinions.

Spirit, I look / All passion-struck / Into thy pale dominions.

Spirit here that laughest!

Spirit here that quaffest!

Spirit here that dancest!

Noble soul that prancest!

Spirit, with thee / I join in the glee / A-nudging the elbow of Momus.

Spirit, I flush / With a Bacchanal blush / Just fresh from the Banquet of Comus.
