A certain thing, he often would declare;
The great Mogul had tried it on his queen,

And many other

Had added by it to their husband's name.

A troop of

boys in jostling throng
Cheered with their noisy cries the racing eight;
The gossamer, with ravelled silver threads,
Works at its little loom, and from the dusky red-eaved sheds
Of the lone Farm a flickering light shines out
Where the swinked shepherd drives his bleating flock
Back to their wattled sheep-cotes, a faint shout
Comes from some Oxford boat at Sandford lock,
And starts the moor-hen from the sedgy rill,
And the dim lengthening shadows flit like swallows up the hill.

Of Algidus in oakwoods fed,

To make your homely prayers prevail;
Give but your little gods their due,
The

twined with myrtle frail.

A young cow's semblance wore,--
