Page 155 - Then gay ideas crowd the vacant brain, While peers, and dukes, and all their sweeping train, And garters, stars, and coronets appear, And in soft sounds "Your Grace
Page 8 - Muse's seats, Invite my lays. Be present, sylvan maids ! Unlock your springs, and open all your shades. GRANVILLE commands; your aid, O Muses, bring! § What Muse for GRANVILLE can refuse to sing? The Groves of Eden...
Page 138 - This is the desert, this the solitude: How populous, how vital is the grave! This is Creation's melancholy vault, The vale funereal, the sad cypress gloom; The land of apparitions, empty shades! All, all on earth is shadow, all beyond Is substance; the reverse is Folly's creed.
