Seite 25 - And listen'd for the queen of all the quire; Fain would I hear her heavenly voice to sing; And wanted yet an omen to the spring.

Of that noble and splendid pile, which took up four acres of ground, and looked like a town, nothing remains ; scarcely a little of the outward wall of the precinctus.
Seite 23 - I left the ruins of this place, which had been consecrated to religion ever since the sixth century, with a sigh for the loss of so much national magnificence and national history. Dreadful was that storm which spared not, at least, the churches, libraries, painted glass, monuments, manuscripts; that spared not a little out of the abundant spoil, to support them for the public honour...
Seite 25 - Cheerful in this sequestered bower, From all the storms of life removed, Here Fox enjoyed his evening hour In converse with the friends he loved. 44 And here these lines he oft would quote, Pleased, from his favourite poet's lay, When, challenged by the warbler's note, There breathed a song from every spray.
