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?

Poetry is a poor place to get your English lessons from because of the "artistic license" poets take.  It would sound strange and incorrect if you tried to use it in anything but poetry.
