Seite 95 - Listening to dashing waves, and sea-mews clang High-hovering o'er his head, who views beneath The dolphin dancing o'er the level brine, Feels more true bliss than the proud admiral, Amid his vessels bright with burnish'd gold And silken streamers, tho' his lordly nod Ten thousand war-worn mariners revere.
Seite 145 - O'er all the plains unnumber'd glories rife, And a new bright creation charms our eyes ; Till Zephyr breathes, then all at once decay The fplendid fcenes, their glories fade away, The fields refign the beauties not their own, And all their fnowy charms run trickling down. Dare I in fuch momentous points advife, I mould condemn the hoop's enormous fize : Of ills I fpeak by long experience found, Oft' have I trod th' immeafurable round, And mourn'd my fhins bruis'd black with many a wound.
Seite 89 - CHUDLEIGH, or name her of the tribe; And ' JULIANA with the Nine Shall aid the melancholy line, To weep her dear u Refemblance gone, Where all thefe beauties met in One.
Seite 169 - Too wretched to endure one lonely day, Too proud one friendly vifit to repay, Too indolent to read, too criminal to pray. At length half dead, half mad, and quite confin'd, Shunning, and...
Seite 123 - And all the men are in the hay ! Entrance to gain is fomething hard, The dogs all bark, the gates are barr'd ; • The yard's with lines of linen...
Seite 129 - Mufic, verfe, all I try, but try in vain; In vain the breathing flute my hand employs, Late the companion of my CHLOE'S voice, Nor HANDEL'S nor CORELLI'S tuneful airs Can harmonize my foul, or footh my cares ; Thofe once-lov'd med'cines unfuccefsful prove...
Seite 145 - Oft' will the cobweb ornaments catch hold On the approaching button rough with gold, Nor force, nor art can then the bonds divide. When once th' intangled Gordian knot is ty'd.
Seite 266 - THE minutes, the hours, the days, and the years, That fill up the current of Time, Neither flowing with hopes, neither ebbing with fears, Unheeded roll'd on to my prime. In infancy prattling, in youth full of play, Still pleas'd with whatever was new, I bade the old cripple fly fwifter away, To o'ertake fome gay trifle in view. But when CHLOE, with fweetnefs and fenfe in her look, Firft taught me the leffon of love ; Then I counted each ftep the wing'd fugitive took, And bade him more leifurely move.
Seite 159 - With fmiles the fair mail hear your warm defires, When mufic melts her foul, and dancing fires. Thus mix'd with love, the pleafing toil purfue, 'Till the unwelcome morn appears in view ;• Then when approaching day its beams difplays, And the dull candles mine with fainter rays, Then when the fun juft rifes o'er the deep, And each bright eye is almoft fet in fleep, With ready hands, obfequious youths prepare...
Seite 175 - Oh ! would mankind but make these truths their guide, And force the helm from prejudice and pride; Were once these maxims fix'd, that God's our friend, Virtue our good, and happiness our end, How soon must reason o'er the world prevail, And error, fraud, and superstition fail! None wou'd hereafter then with groundless fear Describe th...
