Without a mystery from kindly eyes;
In no self-spun cocoon of prudence wound,
He by the touch of men was best inspired,
And caught his native

From generosities itself had fired;
Then how the heat through every fibre ran,
Felt in the gathering presence of the man,

To quicken them again, where they once rose,

When her hair, caught above her ear,
Imitates the style that Venus

But instead of
endeavouring
to raise a
vain monument to myself, of the merits or difficulties of it (which must
be left to the world, to truth, and to posterity), let me leave behind me
a memorial of my friendship with one of the most valuable of men, as well
as finest writers, of my age and country, one who has tried, and knows by
his own experience, how hard an undertaking it is to do justice to Homer,
and one whom (I am sure) sincerely rejoices with me at the period of my
labours.

Of their late motion on the salt sea-meadow,
As

hues linger when the sun's gone
And float in the heavens and die in reedy pools--
So slowly, who shall say when light is gone?

Accuse me not, beseech thee, that I wear
Too calm and sad a face in front of thine;
For we two look two ways, and cannot shine
With the same

on our brow and hair.

My ashes in a soil which is not mine,
My spirit shall resume it--if we may
Unbodied

Miserable
Woman,
Too quickly moved, too easily giving way,
I put denial on thy suit, and hence,
With the disastrous issue of last night,
Thy perturbation, and these frantic words.
