then you should read to make the ideas and emotions clear, powerful, and attractive. Read by ideas. Follow the natural rhythm of the lines. Try to catch the poet's varying moods, and feel, after him, the emotions that the conceptions kindle in him. The poem deepens and widens in significance and beauty the more it is read.

A sweet disorder in the dress
A weary lot is thine, fair maid
A wet sheet and a flowing sea
Absence, hear thou this protestation
Ah, Chloris! could I now but sit
Ah, County Guy, the hour is nigh

All in the Downs the fleet was moor'd

At the corner of Wood Street, when daylight appears

349

At the mid hour of night, when the stars are weeping, I fly 279

Avenge, O Lord! Thy slaughter'd saints, whose bones

83

Being your slave, what should I do but tend

24

Beneath these fruit-tree boughs that shed

336

Best and brightest, come away

364

Crabbed Age and Youth

Bid me to live, and I will live

Blest pair of Sirens, pledges of Heaven's joy
Blow, blow, thou winter wind.

Bright star! would I were steadfast as thou art

Call for the robin-redbreast and the wren
Calm was the day, and through the trembling air
Captain, or Colonel, or Knight in Arms
Care-charmer Sleep, son of the Sable Night
Come away, come away, Death

Come, cheerful day, part of my life to me
Come, little babe, come silly soul
Come-live with me and be my Love

.

Come, Sleep: O Sleep! the certain knot of peace
Come unto these yellow sands

Daughter to that good Earl, once President
Degenerate Douglas! oh, the unworthy lord

Down in yon garden sweet and gay

Farewell! thou are too dear for my possessing
Fear no more the heat o' the sun

Fine knacks for ladies, cheap, choice, brave and new

For ever, Fortune, wilt thou prove

Forget not yet the tried intent

Four Seasons fill the measure of the year

From Harmony, from heavenly Harmony

From Stirling Castle we had seen

Full fathom five thy father lies

Gem of the crimson-color'd Even

Get up, get up, for shame! The blooming morn

He sang of God, the mighty source

High-way, since you my chief Parnassus be
How happy is he born and taught

How like a winter hath my absence been
How sleep the brave who sink to rest
How sweet the answer Echo makes
How vainly men themselves amaze

I am monarch of all I survey

I arise from dreams of Thee

I cannot change, as others do

I dream'd that as I wander'd by the way

I fear thy kisses, gentle maiden

I have had playmates, I have had campanions
