[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...PEARLS OF THE FAITH: 82.
