| This is a stanza of the great poet (Thomas Grey) from his poem (Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard): 45. Perhaps in this neglected spot is laid 46. Some heart once pregnant with celestial fire; 47. Hands, that the rod of empire might have sway'd, 48. Or wak'd to ecstasy the living lyre. What does it mean the line that is underlined? |
