Page 226 - Thy sky is ever clear; Thou hast no sorrow in thy song-, No winter in thy year! O could I fly, I'd fly with thee ! We'd make, with joyful wing, Our annual visit o'er the globe, Companions of the Spring! THE
Page 137 - lov'd, and thou so much, That I should ill requite thee to Constrain Thy unbound spirit into bonds again. Thou, as a gallant bark from Albion's coast (the storms all weather'd and the ocean cross'd) Shoots into port at some well-haven'd isle, Where spices breathe, and brighter seasons
Page 51 - Where no eye sees them. And the fairer forms, That cultivation glories in, are his.

Page 131 - X. She, with all a monarch's pride, Felt them in her bosom glow : Rush'd to battle, fought, and died ; Dying hurl'd them at the foe. XI. Ruffians, pitiless as proud, Heav'n awards the vengeance due ; Empire is on us bestow'd, Shame and ruin wait for you.
