Pagina 277 - Where shaggy forms o'er ice-built mountains roam, The Muse has broke the twilight gloom To cheer the shivering native's dull abode. And oft, beneath the odorous shade Of Chili's boundless forests laid, She deigns to hear the savage youth repeat, In loose numbers wildly sweet, Their feather-cinctured chiefs, and dusky loves. Her track, where'er the goddess roves, Glory pursue, and generous Shame, The...

Pagina 496 - On virtuous LETTSOM, in his manly bloom, Resistless, death's eternal shades descend; While kindred love and friendship round his tomb, In speechless agony distracted bend. Ah ! what avails above the vulgar throng, To rise in genius, or in worth to soar ; Impetuous rolls the stream of time along, The bubble bursts, and life's gay dream is o'er.
Pagina 113 - France their congratulations on the Revolution in that country, and on the prospect it gives to the two first kingdoms in the world, of a common participation in the blessings of civil and religious liberty.
