Página 30 - Here, midst the boldest triumphs of her worth, NATURE herself invites the REAPERS forth ; Dares the keen sickle from its twelvemonth's rest, And gives that ardour which in every breast From infancy to age alike appears, When the first sheaf its plumy top uprears.

With thanks to heaven, and tales of rustic lore, The mansion echoes when the banquet's o'er ; A wider circle spreads, and smiles abound, ; As quick the frothing horn performs its round ; Care's mortal foe, that sprightly joys imparts.

A thousand times repeated to the wind, That wafts the sigh, but leaves the pang behind. For ever of the proffered parley shy, She hears th...
Página 98 - Then, (raising still his Mug and voice,) ' An Old Man's weakness don't despise ! ' I love you well, my Girls and Boys ; • ' GOD bless you all;
Página 7 - No helpmates teach the docile steed his road ; (Alike unknown the plough-boy and the goad ;) But, unassisted through each toilsome day, With smiling brow the ploughman cleaves his way, Draws his fresh parallels, and, wid'ning still, Treads slow the heavy dale, or climbs the hill : Strong on the wing his busy followers play, Where writhing earth-worms meet th...
