 Not all that tempts your wand'ring eyes / And heedless hearts, is lawful prize; / Nor all that glisters, gold. |
| Can storied urn or animated bust / Back to its mansion call the fleeting breath? / Can honour's voice provoke the silent dust, / Or flattery soothe the dull cold ear of death? |
| Who foremost now delight to cleave / With pliant arm thy glassy wave? |
| Brushing with hasty steps the dews away / To meet the sun upon the upland lawn. |
| Sweet is the breath of vernal shower,The bee's collected treasures sweet, Sweet music's melting full, but sweeter yet. The still small voice of gratitude. |
| Visions of glory, spare my aching sight... |
| Ye towers of Julius, London's lasting shame,/ With many a foul and midnight murther fed. |
| Save that from yonder ivy-mantled tower, / The moping owl does to the moon complain. |
| Let not ambition mock their useful toil, / Their homely joys and destiny obscure; / Nor grandeur hear, with a disdainful smile, / The short and simple annals of the poor. |
| A favorite has no friend! |
| The Attic warbler pours her throat, / Responsive to the cuckoo's note. |
| The meanest flowret of the vale, / The simplest note that swells the gale, / The common sun, the air, and skies, / To him are opening paradise. |
| Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air |
