Thy touch, thy deadening touch has steeled the breast, Whence, thro...
Page 68 - And all, combined, with blest effulgence blaze. There thy bright train, immortal Friendship, soar; No more to part, to mingle tears no more! And, as the softening hand of Time endears The joys and sorrows of our...
Page 25 - And hence the charm historic scenes impart; Hence Tiber awes, and Avon melts the heart. Aerial forms in Tempe's classic vale Glance through the gloom and whisper in the gale ; In wild Vaucluse with love and LAURA dwell, And watch and weep in ELOISA'S cell.
