text_original: For when thy pitying eye did see The languid muse in low degree, Then, then at thy desire Descended the celestial nine; O'er me methought they deign'd to shine, And deign'd to string my lyre. VI. Can Afric's muse forgetful prove? Or can such friendship fail to move A tender human heart? Immortal Friendship laurel crown'd The smiling Graces all surround With ev'ry heav'nly Art.
