Halaman 122 - Stern winter smiles on that auspicious clime : The fields are florid with unfading prime: From the bleak pole no winds inclement blow, Mould the round hail, or flake the fleecy snow; But from the breezy deep the blest inhale The fragrant murmurs of the western gale.
Halaman 102 - Whilst, heaping unwish'd wealth, I distant roam; The best of brothers at his natal home, By the dire fury of a traitress wife, Ends...
Halaman 180 - With deeper red the full pomegranate glows, The branch here bends beneath the weighty pear, And verdant olives flourish round the year. The balmy spirit of the western gale Eternal breathes on fruits untaught to fail : Each dropping pear a' following pear supplies, On apples apples, figs on figs arise : The same mild season gives the blooms to blow, The buds to harden, and the fruits to grow. Here order'd vines in equal ranks appear, With all the
Halaman 148 - The Pleiads, Hyads, with the northern team ; And great Orion's more refulgent beam ; To which, around the axle of the sky, The Bear, revolving, points his golden eye, Still shines exalted on the' ethereal plain, Nor bathes his blazing forehead in the main.
Halaman 139 - Now sailing smooth the level surface sweep, Now dip their pinions in the briny deep. Thus o'er the world of waters Hermes flew, Till now the distant island rose in view ; Then, swift ascending from the azure wave, He took the path that winded to the cave.

Halaman 193 - Pontonous hung : Before his seat a polish'd table shines, And a full goblet foams with generous wines : His food a herald bore : and now they fed ; And now the rage of craving hunger fled.
Halaman 101 - Or the pale radiance of the midnight moon. From room to room their eager view they bend ; Thence to the bath, a beauteous pile, descend; Where a bright damsel-train attends the guests With liquid odours, and embroider'd vests.
Halaman 180 - Four acres was the allotted space of ground, Fenced with a green enclosure all around. Tall thriving trees confess'd the fruitful mould : The reddening apple ripens here to gold. Here the blue fig with luscious juice o'erflows, With deeper red the full pomegranate glows : The branch here bends beneath the weighty pear, And verdant olives flourish round the year.
Halaman 171 - Arriv'd, advance impatient of delay, And to the lofty palace bend thy way: The lofty palace overlooks the town, From every dome by pomp superior known; A child may point the way. With earnest gait...
