Sleep seems their only refuge, For alas!
Where penury is felt the thought is chained,
And sweet colloquial pleasures are but few.

BY

WILLIAM COWPER,

OF THE INNER TEMPLE, ESQ.

Sicut aquæ tremulam labris ubi lumem ahenis
Sole reparcussum, aut radiantis imagine lanæ,
Omnia pervolitat late loca, jamque sub auras
Erigitur, summique ferit laquearia tecti.

Virg. Æn.vi

So water, trembling in a polish'd vase,
Reflects the beam, that plays upon its face;
The sportive light, uncertain where it falls,
Now strikes the roof, now flashes on the walls.

IN TWO VOLUMES.

VOL. II.
