First Line: "kings, arms, and empire, common themes! The muse"
Last Line: "contagious, from pandora's box, accurs'd"
Subject(s): "chimney Sweepers & Chimneys;milton, John (1608-1674);patents & Trademarks;
Kings, Arms, and Empire, common Themes! the Muse,
Transcendent, leaves to Bards of Vulgar Wit,
And Fame inglorious. Flights, unknown before,
She meditates, Sublime; and, first, attempts
The trackless Path of smoaky Chimneys, cur'd
By Campbell and Fabenem Artists rare,
And Deathless Fame deserving! Nor in vain
The bold Essay, since their new Method frees
The World of Plagues, more direful than the Woes,
Which erst, as Poets fable, issued forth,
Contagious, from Pandora's Box, accurs'd.
