I	A
	-
As wand'ring late on Albion's shore	B
That chains the rude tempestuous deep	C
I heard the hollow surges roar	B
And vainly beat her guardian steep	C
I heard the rising sounds of woe	D
Loud on the storm's wild pinion flow	D
And still they vibrate on the mournful lyre	E
That tunes to grief its sympathetic wire	F
	-
	-
II	A
	-
From shores the wide Atlantic laves	G
The spirit of the ocean bears	G
In moans along his western waves	G
Afflicted nature's hopeless cares	G
Enchanting scenes of young delight	H
How chang'd since first ye rose to sight	H
Since first ye rose in infant glories drest	H
Fresh from the wave and rear'd your ample breast	H
	-
	-
III	A
	-
Her crested serpents discord throws	G
O'er scenes which love with roses grac'd	H
The flow'ry chain his hands compose	G
She wildly scatters o'er the waste	H
Her glance his playful smile deforms	G
Her frantic voice awakes the storms	G
From land to land her torches spread their fires	G
While love's pure flame in streams of blood expires	G
	-
	-
IV	I
	-
Now burns the savage soul of war	B
While terror flashes from his eyes	G
Lo waving o'er his fiery car	J
Aloft his bloody banner flies	G
The battle wakes with awful sound	H
He thunders o'er the echoing ground	H
He grasps his reeking blade while streams of blood	H
Tinge the vast plain and swell the purple flood	H
	-
	-
V	I
	-
But softer sounds of sorrow flow	D
On drooping wing the murm'ring gales	G
Have borne the deep complaints of woe	D
That rose along the lonely vales	G
Those breezes waft the orphan's cries	G
They tremble to parental sighs	G
And drink a tear for keener anguish shed	H
The tear of faithful love when hope is fled	H
	-
	-
VI	I
	-
The object of her anxious fear	K
Lies pale on earth expiring cold	H
Ere wing'd by happy love one year	K
Too rapid in its course has roll'd	H
In vain the dying hand she grasps	G
Hangs on the quiv'ring lip and clasps	G
The fainting form that slowly sinks in death	L
To catch the parting glance the fleeting breath	L
	-
	-
VII	I
	-
Pale as the livid corse her cheek	M
Her tresses torn her glances wild	H
How fearful was her frantic shriek	M
She wept and then in horrors smil'd	H
She gazes now with wild affright	H
Lo bleeding phantoms rush in sight	H
Hark on yon mangled form the mourner calls	G
Then on the earth a senseless weight she falls	G
	-
	-
VIII	I
	-
And see o'er gentle Andr 's tomb	N
The victim of his own despair	O
Who fell in life's exulting bloom	N
Nor deem'd that life deserv'd a care	O
O'er the cold earth his relicks prest	H
Lo Britain's drooping legions rest	H
For him the swords they sternly grasp appear	K
Dim with a sigh and sullied with a tear	O
	-
	-
IX	G
	-
While Seward sweeps her plaintive strings	G
While pensive round his sable shrine	P
A radiant zone she graceful flings	G
Where full emblaz'd his virtues shine	P
The mournful loves that tremble nigh	I
Shall catch her warm melodious sigh	I
The mournful loves shall drink the tears that flow	D
From Pity's hov'ring soul dissolv'd in woe	D
	-
	-
X	G
	-
And hark in Albion's flow'ry vale	Q
A parent's deep complaint I hear	R
A sister calls the western gale	Q
To waft her soul expressive tear	O
'Tis Asgill claims that piercing sigh	I
That drop which dims the beauteous eye	I
While on the rack of Doubt Affection proves	G
How strong the force which binds the ties she loves	G
	-
	-
XI	G
	-
How oft in every dawning grace	G
That blossom'd in his early hours	G
Her soul some comfort lov'd to trace	G
And deck'd futurity in flowers	G
But lo in Fancy's troubled sight	H
The dear illusions sink in night	H
She views the murder'd form the quiv'ring breath	L
The rising virtues chill'd in shades of death	L
	-
	-
XII	G
	-
Cease cease ye throbs of hopeless woe	D
He lives the future hours to bless	G
He lives the purest joy to know	D
Parental transports fond excess	G
His sight a father's eye shall chear	O
A sister's drooping charms endear	O
The private pang was Albion's gen'rous care	O
For him she breath'd a warm accepted prayer	O
	-
	-
XIII	G
	-
And lo a radiant stream of light	H
Defending gilds the murky cloud	H
Where Desolation's gloomy night	H
Retiring folds her sable shroud	H
It flashes o'er the bright'ning deep	C
It softens Britain's frowning steep	C
'Tis mild benignant Peace enchanting form	S
That gilds the black abyss that lulls the storm	S
	-
	-
XIV	I
	-
So thro' the dark impending sky	I
Where clouds and fallen vapours roll'd	H
Their curling wreaths dissolving fly	I
As the faint hues of light unfold	H
The air with spreading azure streams	G
The sun now darts his orient beams	G
And now the mountains glow the woods are bright	H
While nature hails the season of delight	H
	-
	-
XV	I
	-
Mild Peace from Albion's fairest bowers	G
Pure spirit cull with snowy hands	G
The buds that drink the morning showers	G
And bind the realms in flow'ry bands	G
Thy smiles the angry passions chase	G
Thy glance is pleasure's native grace	G
Around thy form th' exulting virtues move	I
And thy soft call awakes the strain of love	I
	-
	-
XVI	I
	-
Bless all ye powers the patriot name	T
That courts fair Peace thy gentle stay	H
Ah gild with glory's light his fame	T
And glad his life with pleasure's ray	H
While like th' affrighted dove thy form	S
Still shrinks and fears some latent storm	S
His cares shall sooth thy panting soul to rest	H
And spread thy vernal couch on Albion's breast	H
	-
	-
XVII	I
	-
Ye who have mourn'd the parting hour	O
Which love in darker horrors drew	O
Ye who have vainly tried to pour	O
With falt'ring voice the last adieu	O
When the pale cheek the bursting sigh	I
The soul that hov'ring in the eye	I
Express'd the pains it felt the pains it fear'd	H
Ah paint the youth's return by grief endear'd	H
	-
	-
XVIII	I
	-
Yon hoary form with aspect mild	H
Deserted kneels by anguish prest	H
And seeks from Heav'n his long lost child	H
To smooth the path that leads to rest	H
He comes to close the sinking eye	I
To catch the faint expiring sigh	I
A moment's transport stays the fleeting breath	L
And sooths the soul on the pale verge of death	L
	-
	-
XIX	G
	-
No more the sanguine wreath shall twine	P
On the lost hero's early tomb	N
But hung around thy simple shrine	P
Fair Peace shall milder glories bloom	N
Lo commerce lifts her drooping head	H
Triumphal Thames from thy deep bed	H
And bears to Albion on her sail sublime	U
The riches Nature gives each happier clime	U
	-
	-
XX	G
	-
She fearless prints the polar snows	G
Mid' horrors that reject the day	H
Along the burning line she glows	G
Nor shrinks beneath the torrid ray	H
She opens India's glitt'ring mine	P
Where streams of light reflected shine	P
Wafts the bright gems to Britain's temp'rate vale	Q
And breathes her odours on the northern gale	Q
	-
	-
XXI	G
	-
While from the far divided shore	O
Where liberty unconquer'd roves	G
Her ardent glance shall oft' explore	O
The parent isle her spirit loves	G
Shall spread upon the western main	V
Harmonious concord's golden chain	V
While stern on Gallia's ever hostile strand	H
From Albion's cliff she pours her daring band	H
	-
	-
XXII	G
	-
Yet hide the sabre's hideous glare	O
Whose edge is bath'd in streams of blood	H
The lance that quivers high in air	O
And falling drinks a purple flood	H
For Britain fear shall seize thy foes	G
While freedom in thy senate glows	G
While peace shall smile upon thy cultur'd plain	V
With grace and beauty her attendant train	V
	-
	-
XXIII	G
	-
Enchanting visions sooth my sight	H
The finer arts no more oppress'd	H
Benignant source of pure delight	H
On her soft bosom love to rest	H
While each discordant sound expires	G
Strike harmony strike all thy wires	G
The fine vibrations of the spirit move	I
And touch the springs of rapture and of love	I
	-
	-
XXIV	I
	-
Bright painting's living forms shall rise	G
And wrapt in Ugolino's woe A	W
Shall Reynolds wake unbidden sighs	G
And Romney's graceful pencil flow	D
That Nature's look benign pourtrays B	G
When to her infant Shakspeare's gaze	G
The partial nymph unveil'd her awful face	G
And bade his colours clear her features trace	G
	-
A Ugolino's woe a celebrated picture by Sir JOSHUA REYNOLDS taken from DANTE	H
B Nature's look benign pourtrays a subject Mr ROMNEY has taken from GRAY'S Progress of Poesy	G
	-
	-
XXV	I
	-
And poesy thy deep ton'd shell	X
The heart shall sooth the spirit fire	O
And all the passion sink or swell	X
In true accordance to the lyre	O
Oh ever wake its heav'nly sound	H
Oh call thy lovely visions round	H
Strew the soft path of peace with fancy's flowers	G
With raptures bless the soul that feels thy powers	G
	-
	-
XXVI	I
	-
While Hayley wakes thy magic string	Y
His shades shall no rude sound profane	V
But stillness on her folded wing	Y
Enamour'd catch his soothing strain	V
Tho' genius breathe its purest flame	U
Around his lyre's enchanting frame	U
Tho' music there in every period roll	Z
More warm his friendship and more pure his soul	Z
	-
	-
XXVII	I
	-
While taste refines a polish'd age	A2
While her own Hurd shall bid us trace	G
The lustre of the finish'd page	A2
Where symmetry sheds perfect grace	G
With sober and collected ray	H
To fancy judgment shall display	H
The faultless model where accomplish'd art	H
From nature draws a charm that leads the heart	H
	-
	-
XXVIII	I
	-
Th' historic Muse illumes the maze	G
For ages veil'd in gloomy night	H
Where empire with meridian blaze	G
Once trod ambition's giddy height	H
Tho' headlong from the dang'rous steep	C
Its pageants roll'd with wasteful sweep	C
Her tablet still records the deeds of fame	U
And wakes the patriot's and the hero's flame	U
	-
	-
XXIX	G
	-
While meek philosophy explores	G
Creation's vast stupendous round	H
Sublime her piercing vision soars	G
And bursts the system's distant bound	H
Lo mid' the dark deep void of space	G
A rushing world A her eye can trace	G
It moves majestic in its ample sphere	O
Sheds its long light and rolls its ling'ring year	O
	-
A Alluding to Mr Herschel's wonderful discoveries and particularly to his discovery of a new planet called the Georgium Sidus	G

XXX	G
	-
Ah still diffuse thy genial ray	H
Fair Science on my Albion's plain	V
And still thy grateful homage pay	H
Where Montagu has rear'd her fane	V
Where eloquence and wit entwine	P
Their attic wreath around her shrine	P
And still while Learning shall unfold her store	O
With their bright signet stamp the classic ore	O
	-
	-
XXXI	G
	-
Enlight'ning Peace for thine the hours	G
That wisdom decks in moral grace	G
And thine invention's fairy powers	G
The charm improv'd of nature's face	G
Propitious come in silence laid	H
Beneath thy olive's grateful shade	H
Pour the mild bliss that sooths the tuneful mind	H
And in thy zone the hostile spirit bind	H
	-
	-
XXXII	G
	-
While Albion on her parent deep	C
Shall rest may glory light her shore	O
May honour there his vigils keep	C
Till time shall wing its course no more	O
Till angels wrap the spheres in fire	O
Till earth and yon fair orbs expire	O
While chaos mounted on the wasting flame	U
Shall spread eternal shade o'er nature's frame	U
