[Written on a blank page in Beaumont and Fletcher's Works, between "Cupid's Revenge" and "The Two Noble Kinsmen."] I. 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. II. 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. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON A VOLUME OF SCHOLASTIC PHILOSOPHY by GEORGE SANTAYANA LORD ULLIN'S DAUGHTER by THOMAS CAMPBELL FRIENDS BEYOND by THOMAS HARDY PSALM 104 by OLD TESTAMENT BIBLE MOONLIGHT IN SUMMER by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD THE WANDERER: 5.
