Extract from an Ode to Sensibility

Listen in the reader

Ne'er let my soul, with haughty scorn, The prayer of injur'd virtue spurn; Ne'er let my heart, with sour neglect, Treat modest worth with disrespect; But let my breast, like wax receive, Each fair impression thou canst give; Taste all thy pleasures, all thy pain, And pity the unfeeling train!
