IV. 1801. I GRIEVED for Buonaparté, with a vain V. CALAIS, AUGUST 15, 1802. FESTIVALS have I seen that were not names: And his is henceforth an established say, VI. ON THE EXTINCTION OF THE VENETIAN REPUBLIC. ONCE did She hold the gorgeous East in fee; When her long life hath reached its final day: VII. THE KING OF SWeden. THE Voice of Song from distant lands shall call How they with dignity may stand; or fall, That thought is one which neither can appal Nor cheer him; for the illustrious Swede hath done Of fortitude, and piety, and love, Which all his glorious Ancestors approve: The Heroes bless him, him their rightful Son. VIII. TO TOUSSAINT L'OUVERTURE. TOUSSAINT, the most unhappy Man of Men! Live, and take comfort. Thou hast left behind There's not a breathing of the common wind And love, and Man's unconquerable mind. |
