Sweet are the pleasures that to verse belong	A
And doubly sweet a brotherhood in song	A
Nor can remembrance Mathew bring to view	B
A fate more pleasing a delight more true	B
Than that in which the brother Poets joy'd	C
Who with combined powers their wit employ'd	C
To raise a trophy to the drama's muses	D
The thought of this great partnership diffuses	D
Over the genius loving heart a feeling	E
Of all that's high and great and good and healing	E
	-
Too partial friend fain would I follow thee	F
Past each horizon of fine poesy	D
Fain would I echo back each pleasant note	C
As o'er Sicilian seas clear anthems float	C
'Mong the light skimming gondolas far parted	C
Just when the sun his farewell beam has darted	C
But 'tis impossible far different cares	D
Beckon me sternly from soft 'Lydian airs '	-
And hold my faculties so long in thrall	G
That I am oft in doubt whether at all	G
I shall again see Phoebus in the morning	E
Or flush'd Aurora in the roseate dawning	E
Or a white Naiad in a rippling stream	H
Or a rapt seraph in a moonlight beam	H
Or again witness what with thee I've seen	I
The dew by fairy feet swept from the green	I
After a night of some quaint jubilee	F
Which every elf and fay had come to see	F
When bright processions took their airy march	J
Beneath the curved moon's triumphal arch	J
	-
But might I now each passing moment give	K
To the coy muse with me she would not live	L
In this dark city nor would condescend	C
'Mid contradictions her delights to lend	C
Should e'er the fine eyed maid to me be kind	C
Ah surely it must be whene'er I find	C
Some flowery spot sequester'd wild romantic	M
That often must have seen a poet frantic	M
Where oaks that erst the Druid knew are growing	E
And flowers the glory of one day are blowing	E
Where the dark leav'd laburnum's drooping clusters	D
Reflect athwart the stream their yellow lustres	D
And intertwined the cassia's arms unite	C
With its own drooping buds but very white	C
Where on one side are covert branches hung	N
'Mong which the nightingales have always sung	N
In leafy quiet where to pry aloof	O
Atween the pillars of the sylvan roof	O
Would be to find where violet beds were nestling	E
And where the bee with cowslip bells was wrestling	E
There must be too a ruin dark and gloomy	F
To say 'joy not too much in all that's bloomy '	-
	-
Yet this is vain O Mathew lend thy aid	C
To find a place where I may greet the maid	C
Where we may soft humanity put on	P
And sit and rhyme and think on Chatterton	Q
And that warm hearted Shakspeare sent to meet him	R
Four laurell'd spirits heaven ward to intreat him	R
With reverence would we speak of all the sages	D
Who have left streaks of light athwart their ages	D
And thou shouldst moralize on Milton's blindness	D
And mourn the fearful dearth of human kindness	D
To those who strove with the bright golden wing	E
Of genius to flap away each sting	E
Thrown by the pitiless world We next could tell	S
Of those who in the cause of freedom fell	S
Of our own Alfred of Helvetian Tell	S
Of him whose name to ev'ry heart's a solace	D
High minded and unbending William Wallace	D
While to the rugged north our musing turns	D
We well might drop a tear for him and Burns	D
	-
Felton without incitements such as these	D
How vain for me the niggard Muse to tease	D
For thee she will thy every dwelling grace	D
And make 'a sunshine in a shady place '	-
For thou wast once a flowret blooming wild	C
Close to the source bright pure and undefil'd	C
Whence gush the streams of song in happy hour	T
Came chaste Diana from her shady bower	T
Just as the sun was from the east uprising	E
And as for him some gift she was devising	E
Beheld thee pluck'd thee cast thee in the stream	H
To meet her glorious brother s greeting beam	H
I marvel much that thou hast never told	C
How from a flower into a fish of gold	C
Apollo chang'd thee how thou next didst seem	H
A black eyed swan upon the widening stream	H
And when thou first didst in that mirror trace	D
The placid features of a human face	D
That thou hast never told thy travels strange	U
And all the wonders of the mazy range	U
O er pebbly crystal and o'er golden sands	D
Kissing thy daily food from Naiad s pearly hands	D
