| I mock thy fascinating art | B |
| MINE be the calm unruffled day | A |
| That brings no torment to the heart | B |
| The tranquil mind the noiseless scene | C |
| Where FANCY with enchanting mien | C |
| Shall in her right hand lead along | D |
| The graceful patroness of Song | D |
| Where HARMONY shall softly fling | E |
| Her light tones o'er the dulcet string | E |
| And with her magic LYRE compose | F |
| Each pang that throbs each pulse that glows | F |
| Till her resistless strains dispense | G |
| The balm of blest INDIFFERENCE | H |
| - | |
| LOVE I defy thy vaunted pow'r | I |
| In still Retirement's sober bow'r | I |
| I'll rest secure no fev'rish pain | J |
| Shall dart its hot shafts thro' my brain | J |
| No start'ling dreams invade my mind | K |
| No spells my stagnate pulses bind | K |
| No jealous agonies impart | B |
| Their madd'ning poisons to my heart | B |
| But sweetly lull'd to placid rest | L |
| The sensate tenant of my breast | L |
| Shall one unshaken course pursue | M |
| Such as thy vot'ries never knew | M |
| - | |
| SWEET SOLITUDE pure Nature's child | N |
| Fair pensive daughter of the wild | N |
| Nymph of the Forest thee I press | O |
| My weary sick'ning soul to bless | O |
| To give my heart the dear repose | F |
| That smiles unmov'd at transient woes | F |
| That shelter'd from Life's trivial cares | P |
| Each calm delicious comfort shares | P |
| While conscious rectitude of mind | K |
| Blends with each thought a bliss refin'd | K |
| And scorning fear's soul chilling pow'r | I |
| Dares court REFLECTION'S dang'rous hour | Q |
| To scrutinize with cautious art | B |
| Each hidden channel of the heart | B |
| - | |
| Ah gentle maiden let me stray | A |
| Where Innocence for ever gay | A |
| Shall lead me to her loveliest bow'rs | P |
| And crown my brow with thornless flow'rs | P |
| And strew the weedy paths of time | R |
| With Resignation's balm sublime | R |
| While Rosy SPRING shall smiling haste | S |
| On light steps o'er the dewy waste | S |
| Eager her brightest gems to shed | T |
| Around my verdant perfum'd bed | T |
| And in her train the glowing hours | P |
| Shall bathe their wings in scented show'rs | P |
| And shake the fost'ring drops to earth | U |
| To nurse meek blossoms into birth | U |
| And when autumnal zephyrs fly | V |
| Sportive beneath the sapphire sky | V |
| Or in the stream their pinions lave | W |
| Or teach the golden sheaves to wave | W |
| I'll watch the ruby eye of day | A |
| In awful lustre glide away | A |
| And closing sink to transient rest | L |
| On panting Ocean's pearly breast | L |
| - | |
| O SOLITUDE how blest the lot | X |
| Of her who shares thy silent cot | X |
| Who with celestial peace pursues | P |
| The pensive wand'rings of the MUSE | P |
| To stray unseen where'er she leads | P |
| O'er grassy hills and sunny meads | P |
| Or at the still of Night's cold noon | Y |
| To gaze upon the chilly Moon | Y |
| While PHILOMELA'S mournful Song | D |
| Meanders fairy haunts among | Z |
| To tell the hopeless LOVER'S ear | A2 |
| That SYMPATHY'S FOND BIRD is near | B2 |
| Whose note shall soothe his aching heart | B |
| Whose grief shall emulate his smart | B |
| And by its sadly proud excess | P |
| Make every pang he suffers less | P |
| For oft in passion's direst woes | P |
| The veriest wretch can yield repose | P |
| While from the voice of kindred grief | C2 |
| We gain a sad but kind relief | C2 |
| - | |
| AH LOVE thou barb'rous fickle boy | D2 |
| Thou semblance of delusive joy | D2 |
| Too long my heart has been thy slave | W |
| For thou hast seen me wildly rave | W |
| And with impetuous frenzy haste | S |
| Heedless across the thorny waste | S |
| And drink the cold dews ere they fell | E2 |
| On my bare bosom's burning swell | E2 |
| When bleak the wintry whirlwinds blew | M |
| And swift the sultry meteors flew | M |
| Yes thou hast seen me tyrant pow'r | I |
| At freezing midnight's witching hour | Q |
| Start from my couch subdu'd oppres'd | S |
| While jealous anguish wrung my breast | S |
| While round my eager senses flew | M |
| Dark brow'd Suspicion's wily crew | M |
| Taunting my soul with restless ire | F2 |
| That set my pulsate brain on fire | Q |
| What didst thou then Inhuman Boy | D2 |
| Didst thou not paint each well feign'd joy | D2 |
| Each artful smile each study'd grace | P |
| That deck'd some sordid rival's face | P |
| Didst thou not feed my madd'ning sense | P |
| With Love's delicious eloquence | P |
| While on my ear thy accents pour'd | S |
| The voice of him my soul ador'd | S |
| His rapt'rous tones his strains divine | G2 |
| And all those vows that once were mine | G2 |
| But mild Reflection's piercing ray | A |
| Soon chas'd the fatal dream away | A |
| And with it all my rending woes | P |
| While in its place majestic rose | P |
| The Angel TRUTH her stedfast mien | C |
| Bespoke the conscious breast serene | C |
| Her eye more radiant than the day | A |
| Beam'd with persuasion's temper'd ray | A |
| Sweet was her voice and while she sung | Z |
| Myriads of Seraphs hover'd round | S |
| Eager to iterate the sound | S |
| That on her heav'n taught accents hung | Z |
| Wond'ring I gaz'd my throbbing breast | S |
| Celestial energies confest | S |
| Transports before unfelt unknown | H2 |
| Throng'd round my bosom's tremb'ling throne | H2 |
| While ev'ry nerve with rapture strange | I2 |
| Seem'd to partake the blissful change | I2 |
| - | |
| Now with unmov'd and dauntless Eye | V |
| I mark thy winged arrows fly | V |
| No more thy baneful spells shall bind | S |
| The purer passions of my mind | S |
| No more false Love shall jealous fears | P |
| Inflame my check with scalding tears | P |
| Or shake my vanquish'd sense or rend | S |
| My aching heart with poignant throes | P |
| Or with tumultuous fevers blend | S |
| Self wounding visionary woes | P |
| - | |
| No more I'll waste the midnight hour | Q |
| In expectation's silent bow'r | I |
| And musing o'er thy transcripts dear | B2 |
| Efface their sorrows with a tear | J2 |
| No more with timid fondness wait | S |
| Till morn unfolds her glitt'ring gate | S |
| When thy lov'd song's seraphic sound | S |
| Wou'd on my quiv'ring nerves rebound | S |
| With proud delight no more thy blush | K2 |
| Shall o'er my cheek unbidden rush | K2 |
| And scorning ev'ry strong controul | V |
| Unveil the tumults of my soul | V |
| No more when in retirement blest | S |
| Shalt thou obtrude upon my rest | S |
| And tho' encircled with delight | S |
| Absorb my sense obscure my sight | S |
| Give to my eye the vacant glance | P |
| The mien that marks the mental trance | P |
| The fault'ring tone the sudden start | S |
| The trembling hand the bursting heart | S |
| The devious step that strolls along | D |
| Unmindful of the gazing throng | D |
| The feign'd indiff'rence prone to chide | S |
| That blazons what it seeks to hide | S |
| - | |
| Nor do I dread thy vengeful wiles | P |
| Thy soothing voice thy winning smiles | P |
| Thy trick'ling tear thy mien forlorn | L2 |
| Thy pray'r thy sighs thy oaths I scorn | L2 |
| No more on ME thy arrows show'r | I |
| Capricious Love I BRAVE THY POW'R | I |
