Side 75 - Rose unfolds Her bud more lovely, near the fetid Leek, (Crest of stout Britons) and enhances thence The price of her celestial scent : the Gourd, And thirsty Cucumber, when they perceive Th...
Side 241 - Steals soft behind; and then a deeper still, In circle following circle, gathers round, To close the face of things. A fresher gale Begins to wave the wood, and stir the stream, Sweeping with shadowy gust the fields of corn ; "While the quail clamours for his running mate.
