Sivu 331 - How chang'd ! what then was rapture, fire, and air, Seems now sad silence all and blank despair. Is it that youth paints every view too bright, And, life advancing, fancy fades her light ! Ah ! no, — nor yet is day so far declin'd, Nor can time's creeping coldness reach the mind. 'Tis that I miss th...
Sivu 174 - There have been wedlock's joys of swift decay, Like lightning, seen at once and shot away ; But theirs were hopes which, all unfit to pair, Like fire and powder, kiss'd, and flash'd to air. Thy soul and mine, by mutual courtship won, Meet like two mingling flames, and make but one. Union of hearts, not hands, does marriage make, And sympathy of mind keeps love awake. AARON HILL.
Sivu 334 - Gone, tho' she is, she left her soul behind, In four dear transcripts of her copy'd mind. They chain me down to life, new task supply, And leave me not, at leisure, yet, to die\ Busied, for them, I yet forego release; 55 And teach my wearied heart to wait for peace. But, when their day breaks broad, I welcome night, Smile at discharge from care, and shut out light.
Sivu 371 - Tuneful Alexis on the Thames' fair fide, The Ladies play-thing, and the Mufes pride, With merit popular, with wit polite, Eafy tho
Sivu 371 - Eafy, tho' vain ; and elegant, tho' light : Defiring, and deferving, others praife, Poorly accepts a fame, he ne'er repays ; Unborn to cherifh, fneakingly approves, And wants the foul to fpread the worth, he loves.
Sivu 9 - In each dark hedge we ftart an infect fire, lives by night, and muft at dawn expire ; Yet fuch their number that their fpecks combine, And the unthinking vulgar fwear they fhine. Poets are prodigies fo greatly rare, They feem the tafks of heav'n, and built with care : Like funs, unquench'd, unrival'd and fublime, They roll, immortal...
Sivu 332 - Death snatch'd my joys, by cutting off her share, But left her griefs to multiply my care. Pensive and cold this room in each chang'd part I view, and, shock'd, from ev'ry object start: There hung the watch, that beating hours from day, Told its sweet owner's lessening life away. There her dear diamond taught the sash my name ; 'Tis gone ! frail image of love, life, and fame. That glass, she dress'd at, keeps her form no more; Not one dear footstep...
Sivu 333 - Oh life ! — deceitful lure of lost desires ! How short thy period, yet how fierce thy fires ! Scarce can a passion start (we change so fast), Ere new lights strike us, and the old are past. Schemes following schemes, so long life's taste explore, That ere we learn to live, we live no more. Who then can think — yet sigh, to part with breath ? Or shun the healing hand of friendly death...
Sivu 269 - When life is gone, all learning fleets away ? Since this glad grave holds Chloe, fair, and young, Who, where flie is, fifft learnt to hold her tongue.
Sivu 9 - Poets are prodigies fo greatly rare, They feem the tafks of heav'n, and built with care : Like funs, unquench'd, unrival'd and fublime, They roll, immortal, o'er the waftes of time : Ages in vain clofe round and fnatch in fame ; High over all ftill...
