This day, of all our days, has done
  The worst for me and you :-
'Tis just six years since we were one,
  And five since we were two.

Here, Echo, was thy reign of old,
Among these hills, a mystic crowd
Whose thunder rolled
When they speak loud

Eccentricity

© Washington Allston

 Who next appears thus stalking by his side?
Why that is one who'd sooner die than-ride!
No inch of ground can maps unheard of show
Untrac'd by him, unknown to every toe:
As if intent this punning age to suit,
The globe's circumf'rence meas'ring by the foot.

While Negro slaves for freedom prayed,
Till Heaven bowed to give them aid.

Trunks the forest yielded with gums ambrosial oozing,
  Boughs with apples laden beautiful, Hesperian,
Golden, odoriferous, perfume exhaling about them,
  Orbs in a dark umbrage luminous and radiant;

Elegy

© Chidiock Tichborne

My prime of youth is but a frost of cares,
My feast of joy is but a dish of pain,
My crop of corn is but a field of tares,
And all my good is but vain hope of gain;
The day is past, and yet I saw no sun,
And now I live, and now my life is done.
