Awake, my St. John!
- Michelle Kassorla on 01 Aug 11
  
  He is directing his attention to his friend, St. John (prounounced "Sin-jin"). Because he refers to him by his given name and not by his title, you can tell that the author is friends with St. John.

To low ambition, and the pride of kings.
- Michelle Kassorla on 01 Aug 11
  
  Interesting how "low ambition" and "pride of kings" are considered to be the same thing! Setting us up for a somewhat sarcastic piece.

A mighty maze!
- Michelle Kassorla on 01 Aug 11
  
  The maze is an ancient symbol for the fate of man. The one who is in the maze cannot see how to get out. See [http://www.math.nus.edu.sg/aslaksen/gem-projects/maa/Interview_with_the_Minotaur/rite.htm]

A wild, where weeds and flow'rs promiscuous shoot;               8Or garden, tempting with forbidden fruit.
- Michelle Kassorla on 01 Aug 11
  
  He gives his first choice here, building upon the maze idea . . . do you take one path or the other? One explanation or the other? Is life a place of weeds or a garden? Do we have "promiscuous flow'rs" or "forbidden fruit"?

let us beat this ample field
- Michelle Kassorla on 01 Aug 11
  
  "Beat" the field can refer to both beating a field to scare game out of it, and beating wheat or barley to remove the seads for harvesting. He is asking his friend to look deeply, to scare the hidden things out of the "field of man."

Try what the open, what the covert yield

blindly creep, or sightless soar
- Michelle Kassorla on 01 Aug 11
  
  Interesting, in this choice we are either blindly creeping or blindly soaring. In other words--whether we are moving quickly or slowly, whether we are in the dirt or in the sky, we are all blind to what is here. This is a further development to the idea of the maze.

Eye Nature's walks, shoot folly as it flies,             14And catch the manners living as they rise;
- Michelle Kassorla on 01 Aug 11
  
  A development of the idea of the harvest or the hunt and beating the unseen out of the scene. Shoot "folly" (stupidity) when it flies up like a frightened game-bird, or catching manners. He is "personifying" these characteristics.

This is an example of how to annotate a literary piece. Everyone will will have something different to say. There is no right or wrong. These are like discussions with yourself.
