ADDITIONAL FRAGMENT*,

OCCASIONED BY THE DEATH OF HIS SON.

DAUGHTERS of Jove and of Mnemosyne,
Pierian sisters, in whose sacred paths,

From my youth up these duteous feet have trod;
Ye who with your awakening influence warm'd
My youthful heart, disdaining not to accept
The first fruits of an offering immature,
And who into my riper strains have breathed
Truth, knowledge, life, and immortality;
An earthly heritage indefeasible
Assuring to me thus, with Bards of old,
With the blind Grecian of the rocky isle,
The Mantuan, and the Tuscan; and more dear
To me than all of elder Rome and Greece,
My honour'd master, who on Mulla's side,
Mid the green alders, mused his heavenly lay.
Be with me, O ye Nymphs of Castaly
Divine, be with me now; ye who so oft

Have given me strength, and confidence, and joy,
O give me comfort now!-to you I look
In sorrow, who in gladness heretofore,
Yet never but with deepest faith devout,
Have wooed your visitation. For no strain
Of querulous regret I ask your aid,
Impatient of the chastening hand of Heaven;
But rather that your power may discipline
Thoughts that will rise-may teach me to control

The course of grief, and in discursive flight Leading my spirit, sometimes through the past, Sometimes with bold yet not irreverent reach Into the region of futurity,

Abstract her from the sense of present woe.

Short time hath pass'd since from my pilgrimage To my rejoicing home restored I sung

A true thanksgiving song of pure delight.
Never had man whom Heaven would heap with bliss
More happy day, more glad return than mine;
Yon mountains with their wintry robe were clothed
When, from a heart that overflow'd with joy,
I pour'd that happy strain. The snow not yet
Upon their mountain sides hath disappear'd
Beneath the breath of spring, and in the grave
Herbert is laid, the child who welcomed me
With deepest love upon that joyful day;
Herbert, my only and my studious boy,
The sweet companion of my daily walks,

Whose sports, whose studies, and whose thoughts I shared,

Yea in whose life I lived, in whom I saw

My better part transmitted and improved,
Child of my heart and mind, the flower and crown
Of all my hopes and earthly happiness.
