Seite 349 - To Helen. Helen, thy beauty is to me Like those Nicean barks of yore, That gently, o'er a perfumed sea, The weary, way-worn wanderer bore To his own native shore. On desperate seas long wont to roam, Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face, Thy Naiad airs have brought me home To the glory that was Greece And the grandeur that was Rome.

Seite 238 - AH, did you once see Shelley plain, And did he stop and speak to you, And did you speak to him again? How strange it seems and new...
Seite 313 - She, while her lover pants upon her breast, Can mark the figures on an Indian chest ; And when she sees her friend in deep despair, Observes how much a chintz exceeds mohair.
Seite 315 - Scarce once herself, by turns all Womankind ! Who, with herself, or others, from her birth Finds all her life one warfare upon earth: Shines in exposing Knaves, and painting Fools, Yet is, whate'er she hates and ridicules.
Seite 322 - Yes, she has one, I must aver; When all the world conspires to praise her, The woman's deaf, and does not hear.
