الصفحة 180 - Without their pains, when earth has nought beside To answer their small wants. To view the graceful deer come tripping by, Then stop, and gaze, then turn, they know not why, Like bashful younkers in society. To mark the structure of a plant or tree, And all fair things of earth, how fair they be.
الصفحة 180 - Nought doing, saying little, thinking less, To view the leaves, thin dancers upon air, Go eddying round and small birds how they fare, When Mother Autumn fills their beaks with corn, Filch'd from the careless Amalthea's horn...
الصفحة 180 - To see the sun to bed, and to arise, Like some hot amourist with glowing eyes, Bursting the lazy bands of sleep that bound him, With all his fires and travelling glories round him. Sometimes the moon on soft night clouds to rest, Like beauty nestling in a young man's breast, And all the winking stars, her handmaids, keep Admiring silence, while those lovers sleep. Sometimes...

الصفحة 55 - Where now Dunbar ? The bard has run his race : But glitters still the Golden Terge on high ; Nor shall the thunder storm, that sweeps the sky, Nor light'ning's flash the glorious orb deface. Dunkeld, no more the heaven-directed chaunt Within thy sainted wall may sound again. But thou, as once the muse's favourite haunt — Shalt live in Douglas' pure Virgilian strain : While time devours the castle's crumbling wall, And roofless abbies pine, low-tottering to their fall.
