Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The British Poets, Vol. 48 of 100: Including Translations Odes. I plunge into the wave; And though with purest hands I raise A rural altar to thy praise, Thou wilt not deign to save. Amid my well-known grove, When; mineral fountains vainly bear Thy boasted name and titles fair, Why scorns thy foot to rove? Thou hear´st the sportsman´s claim. Enabling him, with idle noise, To drown the Muse´s melting voice, And fright the timorous game. Is Thought thy foe? Adieu, Ye midnight lamps! ye curious tomes! Mine eye o´er hills and valleys roams, And deals no more with you. Is it the cline you flee? Yet midst his unremitting snows The poor Laponian´s bosom glows, And shares bright rays from thee. There was, there was a time. When, though I scorn´d thy guardian care, Nor made a vow, nor said a prayer, I did not rue the crime. Who then more bless´d than I? When the glad schoolboy´s task was done, And forth, with jocund sprite, I run To freedom and to joy? How jovial then the day! What since have all my labours found, Thus climbing life to gaze around, That can thy loss repay? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
