WILLIAM CONGREVE.

Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast.

To soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.

By magic numbers and persuasive sound.

Act iii. Sc. 1.

Eye nature's walks, shoot folly as it flies, And catch the manners living as they rise.

Line 88.

A hero perish or a sparrow fall.

Lo, the poor Indian! whose untutored mind Sees G.o.d in clouds, or hears him in the wind.
