Fair youth, beneath the trees, thou canst not leave Thy song, nor ever can those trees be bare; Bold lover, never, never canst thou kiss, Though winning near the goal-yet, do not grieve; Ah, happy, happy boughs! that cannot shed For ever piping songs for ever new; Who are these coming to the sacrifice? To what green altar, O mysterious priest, Is emptied of its folk, this pious morn? Why thou art desolate, can e'er return. O Attic shape! Fair attitude! with brede When old age shall this generation waste, Thou shalt remain, in midst of other woe Than ours, a friend to man, to whom thou say'st, 'Beauty is truth, truth beauty,-that is all Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know." Brilliants. A DISINHERITED SON. O father, father! must I have no father! To dream, and talk of in my dreaming sleep? Of him who was to me as I to them; Who taught me love, and sports, and childish lore; Placed smiles where tears had been; who bent his talk, That it might enter my low apprehension, And laugh'd when words were lost. BEDDOES. RESIGNATION. To be resign'd when ills betide, And pleased with favours given; COTTON. MURDER. This is the very top, The height, the crest, or crest unto the crest, SHAKSPERE. MEDITATION. I love to meditate on bliss to come, BAILEY. DEATH. The life of all his blood Is touch'd corruptibly; and his pure brain (Which some suppose the soul's frail dwelling-house) Doth, by the idle comments that it makes, Foretel the ending of mortality. THE SHELL. I have seen SHAKSPERE. A curious child, who dwelt upon a tract LOVE. They sin who tell us love can die : WORDSWORTH. In Heaven ambition cannot dwell, They perish where they have their birth. Its holy flame for ever burneth, From Heaven it came, to Heaven returneth ; Too oft on earth a troubled guest, At times deceived, at times opprest; SOUTHEY. THE SHELL. I have sinuous shells of pearly hue And murmurs as the Ocean murmurs there WALTER SAVAGE LANDOR. RUMOUR. Rumour is a pipe Blown by surmises, jealousies, conjectures; And of so easy and so plain a stop, That the blunt monster with uncounted heads, SHAKSPERE. LIGHT. Through the soft ways of heaven, and air, and sea, Like a clear river thou dost glide All the world's bravery that delights our eyes, Thou the rich dye on them bestowest; Thy nimble pencil paints the landscape as thou goest. COWLEY. CARE HATH ITS END. To those who prattle of despair, Some friend, methinks, might wisely say— Each day, no question, has its care, But also every care its day. STERLING.
