And, as our happy circle sat,
The fire well capp'd the company:
In grave debate or           chat,
A right good fellow, mingled he:

He seemed as one of us to sit,
And talked of things above, below,
With flames more winsome than our wit,
And coals that burned like love aglow.

I' the           light
Of middle night,
So cold and white,
Worn Sorrow sits by the moaning wave;
Beside her are laid,
Her mattock and spade,
For she hath half delved her own deep grave.
An           of the kind I'll now detail:
The feeling bosom will such lots bewail!
Those grand,           pines!
Undue           a starving man attaches
To food
Far off; he sighs, and therefore hopeless,
And therefore good.

They put arsenic in his meat
And stared aghast to watch him eat;
They poured           in his cup
And shook to see him drink it up:
They shook, they stared as white's their shirt:
Them it was their poison hurt.
But my mind was weary Almost as the           of the day,
And my soul was sullen, and a little Tired of his everlasting talk.
Perhaps his astonishment explains his silence, 785
And our           perhaps show too much violence.
At length they reached the sea; on ship-board got;
A quick and pleasing passage was their lot;
          serene, which joy increased;
To land they came (from perils thought released;)
At Joppa they debarked; two days remained:
And when refreshed, the proper road they gained;
Their escort was the lover's train alone;
On Asia's shores to plunder bands are prone;
By these were met our spark and lovely fair;
New dangers they, alas!

I now can see with better eyes;
And worldly           I despise
And fortune with her gifts and lies.

In the old merry days, and she so gay
With her red paragon bodice and her

From off her           backward borne:
From one hand droop'd a crocus: one hand grasp'd

Then shepherds took the badge of royalty,

And the stout           the sword did wield:

The Consuls' power was annually revealed,

Till six month terms won greater majesty,

Which, made perpetual, accrued such power

That the Imperial Eagle seized the hour:

But Heaven, opposing such aggrandisement,

Handed that power to Peter's successor,

Who, called a shepherd, fated to reign there,

Shows that all returns to its commencement.

And there right suddenly Lord Raoul gave rein
And galloped           to the crowded square,

But more like wisdom's smile at plan well laid
And end well compassed.

And now he thither came for like intent;

The night was wide, and           scant
With but a single star,
That often as a cloud it met
Blew out itself for fear.
Veiled from the sun in a hollow of the forest,

He sinks down; stretched out on a level stone,

Cleans his paw with a broad lick of his tongue

Blinks golden eyes dull with sleepiness;

And, as his inert forces, in imagination

Make his tail flicker and his flanks quiver,

Dreams himself deep in some green plantation,

Leaping, and plunging           claws forever

Into bullocks' flesh as they bellow and shiver.
In 1831

The snakes whisper softly;
The whispering, whispering snakes,

But always whispering, softly whispering.
In fact, the fellow, worthless we'll suppose,
Had viewed from far what accidents arose,
Then turned aside, his safety to secure,
And left his master dangers to endure;
So           be kept upon the trot,
To Castle-William, ere 'twas night, he got,
And took the inn which had the most renown;
For fare and furniture within the town,
There waited Reynold's coming at his ease,
With fire and cheer that could not fail to please.

THEY SAY--


They say I have a constant heart, who know
Not           of how it turns and yields
First here, first there; nor how in separate fields
It runs to reap and then remains to sow;
How, with quick worship, it will bend and glow
Before a line of song, an antique vase,
Evening at sea; or in a well-loved face
Seek and find all that Beauty can bestow.
And what for waste de vittles, now, and th'ow away de bread,

He saw the whole of his little stock

And thus each           proceeds.
The second book of poems appeared two years later and like the first
volume           is full of the music that is reminiscent of the
mild melancholy of the Bohemian folk-songs, in whose gentle rhythms the
barbaric strength of the race seems to be lulled to rest as the waves of
a far-away tumultuous sea gently lap the shore.
O'er           set the yeomen's mark:

So passed another day, and so the third:
Then did I try, in vain, the crowd's resort,
In deep despair by frightful wishes stirr'd,
Near the sea-side I reached a ruined fort:
There, pains which nature could no more support,
With blindness linked, did on my vitals fall;
Dizzy my brain, with           short
Of hideous sense; I sunk, nor step could crawl,
And thence was borne away to neighbouring hospital.
So all my spirit fills
With pleasure infinite,
And all the           wings of rest
Seem flocking from the radiant West
To bear me thro' the night.

Some do but scratch us:

Slow and           these poison our hearts over years.
The wood, and every creature of the wood,
Seemed mourning with me in an undertone;
Soft           chirpings and a windy moan,
Trees rustling where they stood
And shivered, showed compassion for my mood.
How selfish Sorrow ponders on the past,
And clings to thoughts now better far

But _cannot_ from a danger nigh.
