Court
My mansion is, where those immortal shapes
Of bright aëreal Spirits live insphear'd
In Regions milde of calm and serene Ayr,

Strive to keep up a frail, and Feaverish being
Unmindfull of the crown that Vertue gives
After this mortal change, to her true Servants

Yet som there be that by due steps aspire
To lay their just hands on that Golden Key
That ope's the Palace of E . . .
