Excerpt from Poems of Established Reputation: To Wit, the Art of Preserving Health, The Minstrel, or Progress of Genius, The Pleasures of Imagination, The Task Without thy cheerful active energy No rapture swells the breast, no poet sings, No more the maids of Helicon delight. Come then with me, O Goddess heavenly gay' Begin the song and let it sweetly ¿ow, And let it sweetly teach thy wholesome laws How best the fickle fabric to support Of mortal man in healthful body how A healthful mind the longest to maintain. 'tis hard, in such a strife of rules, to chuse The best, and those of most extensive use Harder in clear and animated song Dry philosophic precepts to convey. Yet with thy aid the secrets wilds I trace Of nature, and with daring steps proceed Through paths the muses never trod before.
