Σελίδα 188 - DE VETUSTATE OMNE quod Natura parens creavit, quamlibet firmum videas, labascit : tempore ac longo fragile et caducum solvitur usu. amnis insueta solet ire valle, 5 mutat et rectos via certa cursus, rupta cum cedit male pertinaci ripa fluento. decidens scabrum cavat unda tofum, ferreus vomis tenuatur agris, 10 splendet attrito digitos honorans anulus auro.

Σελίδα 171 - His sweet employ is now to join To the high elm the wedded vine ; Now lop the barren boughs away, Ingrafting new where old decay. The hopeful slips beneath his care, Rear soon their branching heads in air. Now in the vale he joys to hear His herds, and see his flocks appear ; Or of his toil some gain to reap, He robs his angry bees and sheep ; Pours from the cells the liquid gold, And steals the fleeces from the fold. But when fair Autumn rears her head, And in her lap her fruits are spread, How...
Σελίδα 95 - ... complain; She'll beat her bosom blue and chill, And love the pleasure of the pain. See, Margaret's gown is torn and tatter'd, And bleed her feet with many a thorn; Oh! as her gown, her mind is shatter'd, By the cold world's reproach and scorn. But few short months, and all would say, When they this ruin'd maniac met., Or at the church, or by the way: — " Good-day,
Σελίδα 139 - ... painted show. Henr- C. Knight, whose The Broken Harp has been referred to above, in The Caterpillar (contained in Poems, 1821), addresses the "cousin reptile" as a frozen fellow thou, This sultry day, whole bedded in a muff. And A Summer's Day in the same volume has several pretty lines : — Soft murmur pebbly rills at stilly dawn; The nestling breezes plume their dew-bent wings. . . . Tottering on tripods, milkmaids soothe the kine, While rains a white shower in the foaming pail. . . . Mourning...
Σελίδα 171 - In rain for me the landscape charms, For me by stern disease confin'd, To melancholy's power resign'd, Not nature's smile my sorrow calms. H. SECOND EPODE OF HORACEBLEST is the swain, who...
Σελίδα 91 - OTWAY, heart -appealing bard, Doom'd wast thou to struggle hard; Though true to Nature swell'd thy lays, Thy patronage was — starveling praise! Lo, BUTLER, laughing-genius ripe! Worthy thy peerless Archetype! Thou Bard of two-edged wit! thou Man of various lore! Complaining Echoes murmur thou wast poor. But genius such as thine, Needs not a lisp of mine, That Kings did quote, and Courtiers admire, Thy colonelling Sir Hudibras, and disputatious Squire, Who did such featly charge at holy Bigots fire....
Σελίδα 106 - Our hearts to Mount Vernon, sad pilgrims, will hie, To weep at his shrine on the Fourth of July ! O, Freedom ! how soothing- to sense and to thought, The nurse of the Arts, and the cradle of Science ! To protect thee, our sires their descendants have taught, And we scorn foreign threats, and we ask no alliance...
Σελίδα 190 - ... aut cito acerba ruunt. But this is not necessary, for the answer was never in anything but sermone pedestri. It was recognized for an epigram in the Anthologia Veterum Latinorum Epigrammatum et Poematum, repeated from Burmann's edition by E. Meyer (Leipzig, 1835) no. 1554, where it is made to read: Poma ut in arboribus pendentia corpora nostra; Aut matura cadunt aut cito acerba ruunt. The epigram is now known also from several inscriptions which give it in various forms. The first of these (CIL...
