[BNP/E3, 77 – 61v]
Epistle. I.
Almost fearing is raised my music
Unfeatured
Uncertain Sound
As the flowing of a {…} stream
Slowly, slowly, moving slowly, like the magic of a dream
The heart keeps tune to the music bounding
Etc.
Raise me, raise me with thy chiming
To the aethereal realms above
Let the music of thy rhyming
Thrill me, fill me with thy lone
Let my soul in wonder dreaming thro’ the reign of beauty rove.
Nonsense
