    Doeg, though without knowing how or why,
    Made a still a blundering kind of melody;
    Spurr'd boldly on, and dash'd through thick and thin,
    Through sense and nonsense, never out nor in;
    Free from all meaning whether good or bad,
    And in one word, heroically mad.

He made his prophets poets;and the more
We feel of poesie do we become
Like God in love and power,--under-makers.
