This is William Blake's (1757 -1827) The Tyger. The last stanza reads:
Tyger, Tyger, burning bright.
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Dare frame thy fearful symmetry
If you were at the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, UK, would you want to see the actual page or would you be OK with looking at the digitized version in the museum knowing that for preservation purposes the actual page needs to be kept in storage?
