Edward Jerningham
Enthusiasm
「1789」Edward Jerningham, “Enthusiasm,” in Poems「Google Books」, 8th ed. (Dublin, 1790).
I hear at times thy shrill, despairing cry: So the fond mother-bird, alarm’d distrest, Indignant flutters round her peopled nest,
While (piteous sight!) a ruthless hand invades, And bears away the music of the shades. (240)
