Seite 73 - In every work regard the writer's end, Since none can compass more than they intend ; And if the means be just, the conduct true, Applause, in spite of trivial faults, is due. As men of breeding, sometimes men of wit, T...
Seite 25 - Treads the lov'd shore he sigh'd to leave behind ; Meets at each step a friend's familiar face, And flies at last to Helen's long embrace ; Wipes from her cheek the rapture-speaking tear, And clasps, with many a sigh, his children dear ! While, long neglected, but at length caress'd, His faithful dog salutes the smiling guest, Points to the master's eyes (where'er they roam) His wistful face, and whines a welcome home.
Seite 128 - midst studies too severe ! Foremost to mourn, was generous Southey seen, He told the tale, and show'd what White had been, Nor told in vain. Far o'er the Atlantic wave A wanderer came, and sought the poet's grave ; On yon low stone he saw his lonely name, And raised this fond memorial to his fame.
Seite 19 - With what strange raptures would my soul be blest, Were but her book an emblem of her breast, As I from that all former marks efface, And, uncontroll'd, put new ones in their place, So might I chase all others from her heart, And my own image in the stead impart ; But ah ! how short the bliss would prove if he Who seized it next might do the same by me
Seite 63 - To muse with monks unletter'd and unknown, What from his soul the parting tribute drew? What claim'd the sorrows of a last adieu ? The still retreats that soothed his tranquil breast Ere grandeur dazzled, and its cares oppress'd.
Seite 14 - twill pierce thee to the heart ; A broken reed, at best ; but, oft, a spear ; On its sharp point peace bleeds, and hope expires.
Seite 25 - But HOPE can here her moonlight vigils keep, And sing to charm the spirit of the deep ; Swift as yon streamer lights the starry pole, Her visions warm the watchman's pensive soul ; His native hills that rise in happier climes, The grot that heard his song of other times, His...
Seite 32 - And hence that calm delight the portrait gives: We gaze on every feature till it lives! Still the fond lover sees the absent maid; And the lost friend still lingers in his shade! Say why the pensive widow loves to weep...
Seite 50 - O have you seen, bath'd in the morning dew, The budding rose its infant bloom display ; When first its virgin tints unfold to view, It shrinks, and scarcely trusts the blaze of day. So soft, so delicate, so sweet she came, Youth's damask glow just dawning on her cheek; I gaz'd, I sigh'd, I caught the tender flame, Felt the fond pang, and droop'd with passion, weak.
Seite 112 - To see a lady of such grace, With so much sense, and such a face, So slatternly, is shocking : O ! if you would with Venus vie, Your pen and poetry lay by, And learn to mend your stocking.
