Video 2/3 - A Vision of Poets. A first time read of the 1844 Publication.
In this audio is part 4 - 6 as read by Cat Summerhill.

Synopsis:

Part 4 ( Ends at 'Into Deep Eternity')
This section continues to anoint the dead Poets with her poetic brush of vision holding and hallowing their memory . . Tasso, Goethe, Shiller, Chaucer, Milton . .

'These poets faced, and many more
The lighted altar looming o'er
The clouds of incense dim and hoar :

And all their faces, in the lull
Of natural things, looked wonderful
With life and death and deathless rule.'

*******
Tonsure - the part of a monk or priests head shaved bare.
Hymeneal - a wedding song; nuptials
*******

Part 5 - (Ends at ' Not to Think')

Then said the lady– and her word
Came distant, as wide waves were stirred
Between her and the ear that heard,

'World's use is cold, world's love is vain,
World's cruelty is bitten bane,
But pain is not the fruit of pain.'

SHE goes on to tell how a new creation will be made - by God's Blessing 'mystic keys' - and how one is guided to arise - and see the brighter world - as by a music felt in the heart - seen all around where "the stars move statlier around the edge "

'So works this music on the earth,
God so admits it, sends it forth,
To add another worth to worth ––

A new creation-bloom that rounds
The old creation, and expounds
His Beautiful in tuneful sounds.

Now hearken . . '

*******

Diapason - a grand swelling burst of harmony - such as an Organ or peels of laughter.

Vatic (word) - Describing or predicting what will happen in the future.

*******
'What living man will bring a gift
Of his own heart, and help to lift
The tune !–The race is to the swift.' 

Part 6 - (Ends at 'Bethel Stone')

This section, as it begins: It feels to be a type of Mummery . .
. . a pageant of merchants of mockery . . lavishing . .

'Lip service in world's ear to roll ' ( upon the 'dead true poets')

and flamboyant . . as

'maniacs' of the news -

who criticize . . while

'Composing sudden sighs '

and . . .

'Rehearsed impromptu agonies.' ! ha ha !

'Pink cheeks did rumple passionate
Like Aeschylus––and tried to prate
On trolling tongue, of fate and fate.'
. . .

'One dulled his eyeballs as they ached
With Homer's forehead, though he lacked
An inch of any. '

******
Prate : to talk foolishly or at tedious length about something.

Bethel Stone: bet el : "house of god" are sacred stones that were supposedly endowed with life, or gave access to a deity.

Chrysoprase: Is a turquoise green, opaque and translucent gemstone .

******

P.S In a free associated moment now - I recall :
When John Lennon was asked: "are you a Mod or a Rocker?", he answered: "I'm a Mocker" . . ! ( And of course, in that- he mocked the mockers ! )

Thereafter the poem returns to the Poet and the Angel interactions . Her kiss upon him . . and his resolve expressed . . and then a moment is shown wherein we can feel with the Poet that certain type of being left alone with oneself . . in an alive, blessed and fertile moment, (such as in the aftermath of a revelation or transition time in life . . ) And though full of something fresh and vital, - can also feel daunting in its mystery . . . such as at times of birth . . and death . . be it physical or metaphysical in essence.
