Lean penury within that pen doth dwell
That to his subject lends not some small glory;
But he that writes of you, if he can tell
That you are you, so
dignifies
his story,
Let him but copy what in you is writ,
Not making worse what nature made so clear,
And such a counterpart shall fame his wit,
Making his style admired every where.

With her immortal nymphs from the abyss
Arose and came;

On the salt flood; a panic seized the Greeks,
And ev'ry warrior had return'd on board

Illumed by long experience, interposed,

since
unavailing
woe
Bursts from my heart, and mingles with the strain--
Had the sword laid thee with the mighty low,
Pride might forbid e'en Friendship to complain:
But thus unlaurelled to descend in vain,
By all forgotten, save the lonely breast,
And mix unbleeding with the boasted slain,
While glory crowns so many a meaner crest!

From the

dread and drear,
Her light fled,
Stony, dread,
And her locks covered with grey despair.

To watch a Potter thumping his wet Clay:
And with its all-obliterated Tongue
It murmur'd--"Gently, Brother, gently, pray!
