Let laurels, drenched in pure Parnassian dews.
Leuconomus (beneath well-sounding Greek
Lovely indeed the mimic works of Art

Man views it and admires, but rests content
Mary! I want a lyre with other strings

Nature, exerting an unwearied power

Now from the roost, or from the neighbouring pale.

Obscurest night involved the sky

Oh! bright occasions of dispensing good.
Oh, fond attempt to give a deathless lot

Oh for a closer walk with God

Oh for a lodge in some vast wilderness

Oh happy shades! to me unblest

Oh Nymph of transatlantic fame

Oh that those lips had language! Life has passed
Oh 'tis a sight to be with joy perused

Our good old friend is gone, gone to his rest

Patriots have toil'd, and in their country's cause

Patron of all those luckless brains

Patron of else the most despised of men
Petronius! all the Muses weep for thee
Poor, yet industrious, modest, quiet, neat

Round Thurlow's head in early youth

So glide my life away! and so at last
Survivor sole, and hardly such, of all
Sweet is the harp of prophecy; too sweet.

-Tell me, if you can, what power
That ocean you of late surveyed
The Frenchman first in literary fame
The greenhouse is my summer seat
The Lord of all, Himself through all diffused
The Lord will happiness divine.

The lover too shuns business and alarms.
The night was winter in his roughest mood
The noon was shady, and soft airs

Then shame to manhood, and opprobrious more
The poplars are fell'd; farewell to the shade
There is in souls a sympathy with sounds.

The rose had been washed, just washed in a shower
These therefore I can pity, placed remote
The twentieth year is well-nigh past.
This evening, Delia, you and I.

Thy country, Wilberforce, with just disdain
'Tis morning; and the sun with ruddy orb

'Tis not that I design to rob

'Tis pleasant through the loopholes of retreat

'Tis universal soldiership has stabbed

Toll for the brave

To rise at noon, sit slipshod and undressed

'Twas in the glad season of spring

Unwin, I should but ill repay

While thirteen moons saw smoothly run
William was once a bashful youth

Would my Delia know if I love, let her take

"Ye groves," the statesman at his desk exclaims
Yon ancient prude, whose withered features show
