As steals the morn upon the night,Involve = enfold, envelop, entangle (Oxford English Dictionary, sense 1).
And melts the shades away:
So Truth does Fancy's charm dissolve,
And rising Reason puts to flight
The fumes that did the mind involve,
Restoring intellectual day.
Listen to the performance of Handel's aria by Amanda Forsythe and Thomas Cooley with Voices of Music.
