William Cowper - Epigram : To Leonora Singing At Rome (Translated From Milton)
Work rating: Low

Another Leonora once inspir`d
   Tasso, with fatal love to frenzy fir`d,
But how much happier, liv`d he now, were he,
   Pierced with whatever pangs for love of Thee!
Since could he hear that heavenly voice of thine,
   With Adriana`s lute of sound divine,
Fiercer than Pentheus` tho` his eye might roll,
   Or idiot apathy benumb his soul,
You still, with medicinal sounds, might cheer
   His senses wandering in a blind career;
And sweetly breathing thro` his wounded breast,
   Charm, with soul-soothing song, his thoughts to rest.
