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?

>In normal English it would likely go something like, 'To smile make Philosophy lame.'

Sorry, I guess in normal English it would rather be  '[that inch and mile] make lame Philosophy smile' i.e. 'to make' + bare inf. and 'lame' as an adjective, not a verb. My question was about 'to make' + an ordinal infinitive as in the example, i should have named the thread more clear.
