Sida 38 - There is a stern round tower of other days, Firm as a fortress, with its fence of stone, Such as an army's baffled strength delays, Standing with half its battlements alone, And with two thousand years of ivy grown, The garland of eternity, where wave The green leaves over all by time o'erthrown ; — What was this tower of strength ? within its cave What treasure lay so lock'd, so hid ? — A woman's grave.
Sida 13 - The Niobe of nations, — there she stands, Childless and crownless, in her voiceless woe ; An empty urn within her withered hands, Whose holy dust was scattered long ago ; The Scipios...

Sida 155 - PLEASURE, that comes unlooked-for, is thrice welcome; And, if it stir the heart, if aught be there, That may hereafter in a thoughtful hour Wake but a sigh, 'tis treasured up among The things most precious ! and the day it came Is noted as a white day in our lives.
