William Cowper - Ages elapsed ere Homer's lamp...
Ages elapsed ere Homer's lamp appear'd, And ages ere the Mantuan swan was heard To carry nature lengths unknown before, To give a Milton birth, ask'd ages more. (William Cowper)

Ages elapsed ere Homer's lamp appear'd, And ages ere the Mantuan swan was heard To carry nature lengths unknown before, To give a Milton birth, ask'd ages more.
