:''Words appearing with the music in 1802''
Blest be the man whose piercing mind
By vulgar precepts unconfined,
On wild inventive wings can soar,
Where rude misshapen systems lay
Beyond the reach of order's sway,
And nature's boundless depths explore.}}

Words appearing with the music in 1802
Blest be the man whose piercing mind
By vulgar precepts unconfined,
On wild inventive wings can soar,
Where rude misshapen systems lay
Beyond the reach of order's sway,
And nature's boundless depths explore.
