الصفحة 12 - The crime that cursed, the deed that bless'd an age, All, all come forth, — the good to charm and cheer, To scourge bold Vice, and start the generous tear ; With pictured Folly gazing fools to shame, And guide young Glory's foot along the path of fame Lo ! hand in hand.
الصفحة 9 - Gon of the glorious lyre ! Whose notes of old on lofty Pindus rang, While JOVE'S exulting choir Caught the glad echoes and responsive sang — Come ! bless the service and the shrine We consecrate to thee and thine. Fierce from the frozen north, When Havoc led his legions forth, O'er Learning's sunny groves the dark destroyer spread : In dust the sacred statue slept, Fair Science round her altars wept, And Wisdom cowl'd his head.
الصفحة 86 - The deeds which, more than their own awful mien, Make every crag of Switzerland sublime ! And say to those whose feeble souls would lean, Not on themselves, but on some outstretched hand, That once a single mind sufficed to quell The malice of a tyrant ; let them know That each may crowd in every well-aimed blow, Not the poor strength alone of arm and brand, But the whole spirit of a mighty land ! Bid Liberty rejoice ! Aye, though its day Be far or near, these clouds shall yet be red With the large...
الصفحة 83 - Have lived from age to age, And yet have never donned this mortal clay. A golden strand Shall sometimes spread before you like the isle Where fair Miranda's smile Met the sweet stranger whom the father's art Had led unto her heart, Which, like a bud that waited for the light, Burst into bloom at sight ! Love shall grow softer in each maiden's eyes As Juliet leans her cheek upon her hand, And prattles to the night. Anon, a reverend form, With tattered robe and forehead bare, That challenge all the...
الصفحة 51 - And see, gay ladies sit, Lighting with smiles that fearful place, the pit — (A fairy change — ah, pray continue it.) Gray heads are here too, listening to my rhymes, Full of the spirit of departed times ; Grave men and studious, strangers to my sight, All gather round me on this brilliant night. And welcome are ye all. Not now ye come To speak some trembling poet's awful doom ; With frowning eyes a
الصفحة 14 - Who now shall grace the glowing throne Where, all unrivall'd, all alone, Bold Shakespeare sat, .and look'd creation through, The minstrel monarch of the worlds he drew ? That throne is cold — that lyre in death unstrung, On whose proud note delighted wonder hung. Yet Old Oblivion, as in wrath he sweeps, One spot shall spare, — the grave where Shakespeare sleeps.
الصفحة 11 - Kissed by the virgin moon's cold beam, Where some lost maid wild chaplets wreathes, And, swan-like, there her own dirge breathes, Then, broken-hearted, sinks to rest, Beneath the bubbling wave that shrouds her maniac breast. Young Love, with eye of tender gloom, Now drooping o'er the...
الصفحة 85 - ... of earth A sudden beauty unexpected starts, So you shall find some germs of hidden worth Within the vilest hearts. And now and then, when in those moods that turn To the cold Muse that whips a fault with sneers, You shall, perchance, be strangely touched to learn You've struck a spring of tears! But while we lead you thus from change to change, Shall we not find within our ample range Some type to elevate a people's heart— Some hero, who shall teach a hero's part, In this distracted time ?...
الصفحة 11 - Now drooping o'er the hallowed tomb Where his plighted victims lie, — Where they met, but met to die ; And now, when crimson buds are sleeping, Through the dewy arbor peeping, Where Beauty's child, the frowning world forgot, To Youth's devoted tale is listening, Rapture on her dark lash glistening, While fairies leave their cowslip cells and guard the happy spot.
الصفحة 13 - Unhorsed, unhelmed, disdaining shield, The panting tyrant scours the field. Vengeance ! he meets thy dooming blade ! The scourge of earth, the scorn of heaven, He falls ! unwept and unforgiven, And all his guilty glories fade. Like a crush'd reptile in the dust he lies, And Hate's last lightning quivers from his eyes...
