LINES OCCASIONED BY LORD LYTLETON'S VERSES TO THE COUNTESS OF EGREMONT . BY THE SAME . SWEET Muse of Hagley , whose melodious lyre To strains divine the British Petrarch strung , Wilt thou thy long revolted bard inspire , And wake lost memory to the lays he sung ? Ah no ! no more with sighs of pensive love , No more with sorrow fill his melting strain ! Else other woes my passive heart would prove , My eyes would weep with Lytleton again . But should he now , by nobler motives fir'd , Unfold the riper treasures of his mind , And tune those lays which love and grief inspir'd , To Truth and Freedom may'st thou still be kind .
