Страница 86 - Love! in such a wilderness as this, Where transport and security entwine, Here is the empire of thy perfect bliss, And here thou art a god indeed divine.
Страница 83 - A sigh or tear, perhaps, she'll give, But love on pity cannot live. Tell her that hearts for hearts were made, And love with love is only paid. Tell her my pains so fast increase, That soon they will be past redress ; But ah ! the wretch that speechless lies Attends but death to close his eyes.
Страница 35 - Even peace on their devoted heads, No balmy dew of comfort sheds, But discord flaps her wings ; For who shall fix each adverse claim Untouched his wisdom and his fame By censure's venomed stings? Far from the Senate and the Throne, From budget, tax, investment, loan, Impeachment, expedition ; Peace shall your hether pillow bind, And war no more distract your mind, Nor projects of ambition.
Страница 23 - ... mantle threw, And with his strength her choicest talents grew. Oh ! gifts neglected, talents misapplied, Favours contemned, and fortune unenjoyed — * His Grace was born on the 24th of July, 1756, and died on the 1st of August, 1799. 352 At this sad shrine the serious man may find A striking moral to engage his mind, And the rash Youth, who runs his wild career, May tremble at the lesson taught him here, While baffled Nature kneels desponding by, And hails the shade of Douglas, with a sigh....
Страница 43 - ... sleep, Their fate lament, their merits blazon o'er, Lost to the world, that ne'er shall see them more. Tho' neither youth nor beauty slumbers here, Yet age and virtue claim the parting tear. A tear ! to grace the spot, where wisdom lies, Wit without malice, truth without disguise. Here rests religion, void of vain pretence, Founded on reason, and matured by sense, With every christian attribute adorned, By all who knew, who felt its influence mourned.
Страница 44 - Christian attribute adorned ; By all who knew and felt its influence, mourned. Blessed be the heart that heaves the generous sigh, Sacred the drop that springs from sorrow's eye ; Yet reason shall our selfish grief restrain, And check the tear which flows, alas ! in vain. Far now removed from scenes of sighs and tears, ~Thy holy spirit dwells in heavenly spheres — Welcomed by angels to their bright abode, Pure as themselves, and reconciled to God.
Страница 43 - ... virtue claim the parting tear. A tear ! to grace the spot, where wisdom lies, Wit without malice, truth without disguise. Here rests religion, void of vain pretence, Founded on reason, and matured by sense, With every christian attribute adorned, By all who knew, who felt its influence mourned. Blest be the heart that heaves the generous sigh, Sacred the drop, that springs from sorrow's eye ; Yet reason shall our selfish grief restrain, And check the tear, that now must flow in vain. •" Narrative...
Страница 19 - THE YEAR THAT'S AWA' HERE'S to the year that's awa' ! We will drink it in strong and in sma' ; And here's to ilk bonnie young lassie we lo'ed, While swift flew the year that's awa'.
Страница 22 - ESQ. f HERE lies reposed, beneath this sculptured stone, All that remains of Princely Hamilton ! All that remains of Beauty, Strength, and Health, Graced by high lineage, and the gifts of wealth. Exulting Nature, when the Child was born, Lavished her stores, the favourite to adorn, And as the beauteous boy to Manhood sprung, Knit every joint, and every sinew strung : Gave grace to motion, to exertion ease, A mien unrivalled, and a power to please. She crowned him with Perception's brightest beam,...
Страница 96 - Fame ; And peace to the friends they have left broken-hearted. Deploring the fate that ennobles their name ! For though the fond heart may exult in. their glory. The tear of affection muit flow for their fall ; And the brave who survive to recount their sad story. Shall envy the honours that cover their pall. Then " raise the lament
