Página 70 - Where now thy might, which all those kings subdued ? No martial myriads muster in thy gate ; No suppliant nations in thy Temple wait ; No prophet bards, thy glittering courts among, Wake the full lyre, and swell the tide of song : But lawless Force, and meagre Want is there, And the quick-darting eye of restless Fear ; While cold Oblivion, 'mid thy ruins laid, Folds his dank wing beneath the ivy shade.

Página 88 - E'en they, when, high above the dusty fight, Their burning Temple rose in lurid light, To their loved altars paid a parting groan, And in their country's woes forgot their own. As 'mid the cedar courts, and gates of gold, The trampled ranks in miry carnage roll'd, To save their Temple every hand essay'd, And with cold fingers grasp'd the feeble blade : Through their torn veins reviving fury ran, And life's last anger warm'd the dying man ! But heavier far the fetter'd captives...
Página 55 - Britannia's sons; — but when o'erthrown, More keen and fierce the flame of freedom shone. Ye woods, whose cold and lengthen'd tracts of shade Rose on the day when sun and stars were made ; Waves of Lodore, that from the mountain's brow Tumble your flood, and shake the vale below ; Majestic Skiddaw, round whose trackless steep Mid the bright sunshine darksome tempests sweep : To you the patriot fled ; his native land He spurn'd, when proffer'd by a conqueror's hand ; In you to roam at large ; to...
