Answer 1

These lines are taken from the extraordinary poem or ode called The Progress of Poesy (A Pindaric Ode).  

Explanation:

• This ode begins by Pinder setting the mood using musical notes of Aeolian instruments. He uses songs, strings, and flute in a harmonic manner.  

• The main character of the poem unites with Pinder while smiling. He elaborates how poetry gives life and glow to everything it touches. He thinks poetry enhances the beauty of his surroundings.

• Even if the subject is barren or dry, poetry will make lush again. This whole process of transformation appears to be very irresistible. He gives the example of swoln how they ran away because of their troubling desires.
