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?

>>2 is right. Poetry tends to go incorrectly in order. Usually what the verb is doing is placed between the verb and object, as shown in 'make lame Philosophy to smile.' In normal English it would likely go something like, 'To smile make Philosophy lame.'

It would make you an asshole if you said it outside of poetry. Never take your English lessons from poetry, they're all useless assholes that fuck English up because they want an orderless language. If they want a language they can play in and still make semantic sense, they need to learn Russian and get the hell out of America.
