It is not that, you know full well,
That makes my labouring bosom swell,

Sonnet 61: Oft With True Sighs

Now with slow words, now with dumb eloquence

At whiles (yea oftentimes) I muse over

Let your song be delicate.
The skies declare
No war the eyes of lovers
Wake everywhere.

© Eli Siegel

Which always goes out,
For it needs another spark.
What is your name, bystander?
What is your name, wayfarer?

Shock-headed Peter

Just look at him! there he stands,

With his nasty hair and hands.

Stanzas Written By Thomson On The Blank Leaf Of A Copy Of His 'Seasons' Sent By Him To Mr. Lyttleton

Go, little book, and find our Friend,
Who Nature and the Muses loves,
Who cares the public virtues blend
With all the softness of the groves.

Bold Torres, the sailor, came and went,

with his swarthy, storm-worn band,

Sonnet To George The Fourth, On The Repeal Of Lord Edward Fitzgerald's Forfeiture

To be the father of the fatherless,
To stretch the hand from the throne's height, and raise
His offspring, who expired in other days
To make thy sire's sway by a kingdom less,--
