And waste its sweetness on the desert air.
Some village-Hampden, that with dauntless
breast
The little tryrant of his fields withstood;
Some mute inglorious Milton here may rest,
Some Cromwell guiltless of his country's blood.

(b) Heard melodies are sweet,

but those unheard are sweeter; Jhn Keag
thereforeyesoft pipes, play on;
Not to the sensual car, but, more endeared,
Pipe to the spirit ditties of no tone:
(c) The world is too much with us; late and son,
Getting and Spending, we lay waste our powers;
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
