to make + bare inf.

I was taught that after 'to make' I should always use a bare infinitive, but I accidentally have met this in a Blake's poem:

The emmet's inch and eagle's mile
Make lame Philosophy to smile.

So, I wonder how it sounds for natives. Old-fashioned? Strange? Normal? Just incorrect? What if i use it in an ordinal conversation (I try to enrich my English), would it be OK?

The mere fact a bunch of English speakers are debating about the meaning of the line indicates that it would be a terrible idea to use it in non-artistic speech.  Stick with to make and a bare infinitive if you want to be understood.
