Page 128 - And now I see with eye serene The very pulse of the machine; A Being breathing thoughtful breath, A Traveller between life and death; The reason firm, the temperate will, Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill; A perfect Woman, nobly planned, To warn, to comfort, and command ; And yet a Spirit still, and bright With something of angelic light. 1804.

Page 102 - On the Extinction of the Venetian Republic did She hold the gorgeous east in fee; And was the safeguard of the west : the worth Of Venice did not fall below her birth, Venice, the eldest Child of Liberty. No guile seduced, no force could violate; And, when she took
Page 89 - A rainbow in the sky : So was it when my life began ; So is it now I am a man; So be it when I shall grow old, Or let me die! The Child is father of the Man ; And I could wish my days to be Bound each to each by natural piety. Written in March
Page 123 - But we will leave it growing. O'er hilly path, and open Strath, We 'll wander Scotland thorough; But, though so near, we will not turn Into the dale of Yarrow.
