WAKEN not Amor from sleep! The beauteous urchin still slumbers;
...
IF I, dearest Lily, did not love thee,
How this prospect would enchant my sight!
And yet if I, Lily, did not love thee,
...
My maiden she proved false to me;
To hate all joys I soon began,
...
THIS nosegay,--'twas I dress'd it,--
Greets thee a thousand times!
Oft stoop'd I, and caress'd it,
...
CHRIST is arisen!
Mortal, all hail!
Thou, of Earth's prison
...
ONCE a stranger youth to Corinth came,
Who in Athens lived, but hoped that he
From a certain townsman there might claim,
As his father's friend, kind courtesy.
...
HE who knows himself and others
Here will also see,
That the East and West, like brothers,
...
As a boy, reserved and naughty;
As a youth, a coxcomb and haughty;
As a man, for action inclined;
As a greybeard, fickle in mind.--
...
How fair doth Nature
Appear again!
How bright the sunbeams!
...
DAYS full of rapture,
Are ye renew'd ?--
Smile in the sunlight
...
