Temperament without a tongue,

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
interruption
short
Of hideous sense; I sunk, nor step could crawl,
And thence was borne away to neighbouring hospital.

MOPSUS
"For Daphnis cruelly slain wept all the Nymphs-
Ye hazels, bear them witness, and ye streams-
When she, his mother,
clasping
in her arms
The hapless body of the son she bare,
To gods and stars unpitying, poured her plaint.

Thel is like a watry bow, and like a parting cloud,
Like a

in a glass: like shadows in the water
Like dreams of infants, like a smile upon an infants face.

if our souls but poise and swing
Like the compass in its brazen ring,
Ever level and ever true
To the toil and the task we have to do,
We shall sail securely, and safely reach
The
Fortunate
Isles, on whose shining beach
The sights we see, and the sounds we hear,
Will be those of joy and not of fear!

from which abstruse research, the mother of self-oblivion,

Longfellow |

Unheeded Night has
overcome
the vales,
On the dark earth the baffl'd vision fails,
If peep between the clouds a star on high,
There turns for glad repose the weary eye;
The latest lingerer of the forest train,
The lone-black fir, forsakes the faded plain;
Last evening sight, the cottage smoke no more,
Lost in the deepen'd darkness, glimmers hoar;
High towering from the sullen dark-brown mere,
Like a black wall, the mountain steeps appear,
Thence red from different heights with restless gleam
Small cottage lights across the water stream,
Nought else of man or life remains behind
To call from other worlds the wilder'd mind,
Till pours the wakeful bird her solemn strains
[viii] Heard by the night-calm of the watry plains.
