A narrow compass! and yet there
Dwelt all that's good, and all that's fair;
Give me but what this riband bound,
Take all the rest the sun goes round.
Though pleased to see the dolphins play,
I mind my compass and my way.
There are no points of the compass on the chart of true patriotism.
Free-livers on a small scale, who are prodigal within the compass of a guinea.
From harmony, from heavenly harmony,
This universal frame began:
From harmony to harmony
Through all the compass of the notes it ran,
The diapason closing full in Man.
