Стр. 490 - FERVID on the glitt'ring flood, Now the noontide radiance glows : Drooping o'er its infant bud, Not a dew-drop's left the rose. By the brook the shepherd dines, From the fierce meridian heat, Shelter'd by the branching pines, Pendent o'er bis grassy seat.
Стр. 491 - I'm thine.' Her air was so modest, her aspect so meek! So simple, yet sweet, were her charms! I kiss'd the ripe roses that glow'd on her cheek, And lock'd the dear maid in my arms.

Стр. 371 - Nor feek the dreary filent fhades below ; " But forth they fly, immortal in their kind, " And other bodies in new worlds they find.

Стр. 221 - Founded on arts which shun the face of day, By the same arts they still maintain their sway. Wrapp'd in mysterious secrecy they rise, no And, as they are unknown, are safe and wise.
Стр. 164 - For rhetoric, he could not ope His mouth, but out there flew a trope ; And when he happened to break off I...
Стр. 147 - Si vos marbres si durs ont senti son pouvoir, Dois-je trouver mauvais qu'un méchant pourpoint noir, Qui m'a duré deux ans, soit percé par le coude?
Стр. 122 - To remove all uncertainty in the order of the notes in the lyre, I took off all the strings but one, and on placing the instrument in a due position, was surprised to hear a great variety of notes, and frequently such as were not produced by any aliquot part of the strings : often, too, I heard a chord of two or three notes from this single string.
