A ploughman, who, in foul and fair,

Nor care to ask.

Thus sung the kingsome angel reach a bough
From Eden's tree to crown the wisest brow;

Broad banks of spices, blossom'd walks of shade,
O Lebanon! where much I love to dwell,
Since I must leave thee Lebanon, farewel!

On the geodetic line, where the parish boundaries join
At a level and interminable lane

Is located from the Schoolhouse on the Plain.

One hour devoted to the pursuit of Beauty
And Love is worth a full century of glory
Given by the frightened weak to the strong.

GENIUS of Raphael! if thy wings
Might bear thee to this glen,
The Life of Love XVI

Dawn of Spring has unfolded her winter-kept garment
And placed it on the peach and citrus trees; and

the Night of Kedre.

SEV. You will see the origin of the nine blind men, who state nine
reasons and special causes of their blindness, and yet they all agree in
one general reason and one common enthusiasm.
