Стр. 190 - As apes our grandsires, in their doublets dress'd. In words, as fashions, the same rule will hold; Alike fantastic, if too new, or old: Be not the first by whom the new are tried, 335 Nor yet the last to lay the old aside. But most by numbers judge a poet's song:
Стр. 280 - PAUCOS, XXXV. OB. FEB. XVI. MDCCXX. STATESMAN, yet friend to Truth! of soul sincere, In action faithful, and in honour clear! Who broke no promise, served no private end, Who gain'd no title, and who lost no friend; Ennobled by himself, by all approved, Praised, wept, and honour'd, by the Muse he loved.
Стр. 124 - Justice lift aloft her scale; Peace o'er the world her olive wand extend, And white-robed Innocence from heaven descend. 20 Swift fly the years, and rise the expected morn! Oh spring to light, auspicious Babe, be born! See Nature hastes 7 her earliest wreaths to bring, With all the incense of the breathing spring:
Стр. 126 - pour the day: 40 Tis he th' obstructed paths of sound shall clear, And bid new music charm th' unfolding ear: The dumb shall sing, the lame his crutch forego, And leap exulting like the bounding roe. No sigh, no murmur the wide world shall hear, 45 From every face he wipes off every tear. In

Стр. 125 - ch. xxxv. ver. 1.—" The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad, and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose." Ch. Ix. ver. 18.—" The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the fir-tree, the pine-tree, and the box together, to beautify the place of
Стр. 192 - At every trifle scorn to take offence, That always shows great pride, or little sense; Those heads, as stomachs, - are not sure the best, Which nauseate all, and nothing can digest. Yet let not each gay turn thy rapture move; 390 For fools admire, but men of sense approve : 28 As things seem large which
Стр. 124 - root behold a Branch arise, Whose sacred flower with fragrance fills the skies: 10 The ethereal spirit o'er its leaves shall move, And on its top descends the mystic Dove. Ye heavens! 3 from high the dewy nectar pour, And in soft silence shed the kindly shower! * The 5 sick and weak the healing plant shall aid,
Стр. 226 - He spoke; the spirits from the sails descend; Some, orb in orb, around the nymph extend; Some thrid the mazy ringlets of her hair; Some hang upon the pendants of her ear: 140 With beating hearts the dire event they wait, Anxious, and trembling for the birth of Fate. CANTO III.
Стр. 187 - The eternal snows appear already passed, And the first clouds and mountains seem the last: But, those attain'd, we tremble to survey The growing labours of the lengthen'd way, 230 The increasing prospect tires our wandering eyes, Hills peep o'er hills, and Alps on Alps arise!
