Страница 44 - ... design. Ambrosial blossoms, such of old as blew By those fresh founts on Eden's happy plain, And Sharon's roses all his passage strew : So fancy dreams ; but fancy's dreams are vain. Wasted and weary on the mountain's side, His way unknown, the hapless pilgrim lies, Or takes some ruthless robber for his guide, And prone beneath his cruel sabre dies. Life's morning-landscape gilt with orient light, Where hope and joy and fancy hold their reign...
Страница 175 - I have begun, unless I be removed into some quiet parsonage, where I may see God's blessings spring out of my mother earth, and eat my own bread in peace and privacy...
Страница 36 - Silence listen'd on the sleeping plain. The strains yet vibrate on my ravish'd ear, And still to smile the mimic beauties seem, Though now the visionary scenes appear Like the faint traces of a vanish'd dream. Mirror of life ! the glories thus depart Of all that Youth and Love and Fancy frame, When painful Anguish speeds the piercing dart, Or Envy blasts the blooming flowers of Fame. Nurse of wild wishes, and of fond desires, The prophetess of Fortune, false and vain, To scenes where Peace in Ruin's...
Страница 6 - Were once the silent mansions of the dead. In every shrub, in every flow'ret's bloom, That paints with different hues yon smiling plain, Some hero's ashes issue from the tomb, And live a vegetative life again. For matter dies not, as the Sages say, But shifts to other forms the pliant mass, When the free spirit quits its cumb'rous clay, And sees, beneath, the rolling planets pass. Perhaps, my Villiers, for I sing to thee, Perhaps, unknowing of the bloom it gives, In yon fair scion of Apollo's tree...
Страница 106 - The mournful fequel of my tale ; Sent by an order from the fates, A gunner met them in the vale. Alarm'd the lover cry'd, My dear, Hafte. hafte away, from danger fly ; Here, gunner, point thy thunder here ; O fpare my love, and let me die.
Страница 68 - Imperial ensigns grac'd her smiling form, A golden key, and golden wand she bore ; This charms to peace each sullen eastern storm, And that unlocks the summer's copious store. Onward in conscious majesty she came...
Страница 127 - Tis not the coarser tie of human laws, Unnatural oft and foreign to the mind, That binds their peace, but harmony itself, Attuning all their passions into love ; Where Friendship...
Страница 22 - PARNELL'S modest fame, and may be mine. Go then, my Friend, nor let thy candid breast Condemn me, if I check the plausive string ; Go to the wayward world ; complete the rest ; Be, what the purest Muse would wish to sing. Be still thyself ; that open path of truth, Which led thee here, let manhood firm pursue ; Retain the sweet simplicity of youth, And, all thy virtue dictates, dare to do.
Страница 110 - Alike attracted to th' enliv'ning gleam, The stranger-swallows take their wonted way. Welcome, ye gentle tribe, your sports pursue, Welcome again to DELIA, and to me ; Your peaceful councils on my roof renew, And plan your settlements from danger free. No...
Страница 30 - Ah, what, fond boy, dost thou presume to claim ?" The Muse replied: " Mistaken suppliant, know, " To light in SHAKSPEARE'S breast the dazzling flame " Exhausted all PARNASSUS could bestow. " True; Art remains; and, if from his bright page " Thy mimic power one vivid beam can seize, " Proceed; and in that best of tasks engage, " Which tends at once to profit, and to please.
