no slimy snares To clog her painted wings . Sad Philomel ! ah , quit thy haunt Yon
distant woods among , And round my friendly grotto chaunt Thy sweetly ...

horrid shapes , and shrieks , and sights unholy , Find out some uncouth cell ,
Where brooding Darkness spreads his jealous wings , And the night raven sings ;

I could lay down my life for the swain , That will sing but a song in her praise .
When he sings , may the nymphs of the town Come trooping , and listen the while
; Nay , on him may not Phyllida frown ; -But I cannot allow her to smile . For when

A man he was to all the country dear, And passing rich with forty pounds a year; Remote from towns he ran his godly race, Nor e'er had changed, nor wished to change, his place.
Página 56 - Say, Father Thames, for thou hast seen Full many a sprightly race Disporting on thy margent green The paths of pleasure trace ; Who foremost now delight to cleave, With pliant arm, thy glassy wave...

Página 116 - Swinging slow with sullen roar; Or if the air will not permit, Some still removed place will fit, Where glowing embers through the room Teach light to counterfeit a gloom, Far from all resort of mirth, Save the cricket on the hearth, Or the bellman's drowsy charm To bless the doors from nightly harm.
Página 24 - From seeming Evil still educing Good, And better thence again, and better still, In infinite progression.
Página 109 - To hear the lark begin his flight, And singing startle the dull night, From his watch-tower in the skies, Till the dappled Dawn doth rise...
Página 134 - With every plant, in sign of worship wave. Fountains and ye that warble, as ye flow, Melodious murmurs, warbling tune his praise : Join voices, all ye living souls ; ye birds, That singing up to heaven-gate ascend, Bear on your wings and in your notes his praise...
