But when the time for work came round,
Through the blizzard, biting frost and snow,
I made the journey into town.

What bright things, hid from star and foam,
Lay in her heart for thee!

The liquid Harmony, a tuneful Tide,
Now seem'd to rage, anon wou'd gently glide;

A flower blossom sweet and fair.

Boy and nymph were hand in hand:
He and she they had much love.

Just cause of sorrow none in my decease,

My little bird, how canst thou sit
And sing amidst so many thorns?
Of Public Spirit In Regard To Public Works: An Epistle, To His Royal Highness Frederick Prince of Wa

Great Hope of Britain!-Here the Muse essays
A theme, which, to attempt alone, is praise.

The things that Mortals love are mortal too
& swiftly transient fleet before the view
Or if with man a longer while they stay

The condor beak and python eyes--recoil,
