Mapping Keats’s Progress
A Critical Chronology

Spirit here that reignest

  • Spirit here that reignest!
  • Spirit here that painest!
  • Spirit here that burnest!
  • Spirit here that mournest!
  • Spirit! I bow
  • My forehead low,
  • Enshaded with thy pinions!
  • Spirit! I look,
  • All passion struck,
  • Into thy pale dominions!
  • Spirit here that laughest!
  • Spirit here that quaffest!
  • Spirit here that dancest!
  • Noble soul that prancest!
  • Spirit! with thee
  • I join in the glee,
  • While nudging the elbow of Momus!
  • Spirit! I flush
  • With a Bacchanal blush,
  • Just fresh from the banquet of Comus!
