Seite 169 - Pleased with the distant roar, with quicker tread, Fast by his hand one lisping boy she led; And one fair girl amid the loud alarm Slept on her kerchief, cradled by her arm...
Seite 62 - Roll on, ye stars, exult in youthful prime ; Mark with bright curves the printless steps of Time ; Near and more near your beamy cars approach, And lessening orbs on lessening orbs encroach. Flowers of the sky ! ye too to age must yield, Frail as your silken sisters of the field...
Seite 161 - To caves bestrew'd with many a mouldering bone, And cells, whose echoes only learn to groan ; Where no kind bars a whispering friend disclose, No sunbeam enters, and no zephyr blows — He treads, inemulous of fame or wealth, Profuse of toil, and prodigal of health...
