Seite 269 - Ever charming, ever new, When will the landscape tire the view; The fountain's fall, the river's flow, The woody valleys, warm and low ; The windy summit, wild and high, Roughly rushing on the sky!
Seite 266 - Silent Nymph, with curious eye ! Who, the purple evening, lie On the mountain's lonely van, Beyond the noise of busy man, Painting fair the form of things, While the yellow linnet sings ; Or the tuneful nightingale Charms the forest with her tale ; Come with all thy various hues, Come, and aid thy sister Muse ; Now while Phoebus riding high Gives lustre to the land and sky ! Grongar Hill...
Seite 267 - The gloomy pine, the poplar blue, The yellow beech, the sable yew, The slender fir that taper grows, The sturdy oak with broad-spread boughs...
Seite 269 - Ever charming, ever new, When will the Landskip tire the View ! The Fountain's Fall, the River's Flow, The woody Vallies, warm and low : The windy Summit, wild and high, Roughly rushing on the Sky ! The pleasant Seat, the ruin'd Tow'r, The naked Rock, the shady Bow'r : The Town and Village, Dome and Farm, Each give each a double Charm, As Pearls upon an Mthiop's Arm.

Seite 267 - While strayed my eyes o'er Towy's flood, Over mead and over wood, From house to house, from hill to hill, Till Contemplation had her fill. About his...
Seite 5 - That affluence and power, advantages extrinsick and adventitious, and therefore easily separable from those by whom they are possessed, should very often flatter the mind with expectations of felicity which they cannot give, raises no astonishment: but it seems rational to hope that intellectual greatness should produce better effects; that minds qualified for great attainments should first endeavour their own benefit; and that they who are most able to teach others the way to happiness should with...
Seite 146 - Thou had'st not been provoked — or thou had'st died. Far be the guilt of home-shed blood, from all On whom, unsought, embroiling dangers fall ! Still the pale dead revives, and lives to me, To me ! through Pity's eye condemn'd to see. Remembrance veils his rage, but swells his fate ; Grieved I forgive, and am grown cool too late ; Young and unthoughtful then, who knows one day...
Seite 5 - Macclesfield, having lived some time upon very uneasy terms with her husband, thought a public confession of adultery the most obvious and expeditious method of obtaining her liberty ; and therefore declared, that the child, with which she was then great, was begotten by the earl Rivers.
Seite 269 - Ey'd through hope's deluding glass ; As yon summits soft and fair, Clad in colours of the air, Which, to those who journey near, Barren, brown, and rough appear ; Still we tread the same coarse way, The present's still a cloudy day.
