Samuel Rogers Long Poems
- 1. The Pleasures Of Memory Part Ii
Delle cose custode, e dispensiera.
TASSO.
ANALYSIS OF THE SECOND PART.
... - 2. To The Fragment Of A Statue Of Hercules, Commonly Called The Torso
And dost thou still, thou mass of breathing stone,
(Thy giant limbs to night and chaos hurl'd)
Still sit as on the fragment of a world;
Surviving all, majestic and alone?
... - 3. Written In A Sick Chamber
There, in that bed so closely curtain'd round,
Worn to a shade, and wan with slow decay,
A father sleeps! Oh hush'd be every sound!
Soft may we breathe the midnight hours away!
... - 4. A Farewell
Once more, enchanting girl, adieu!
I must be gone while yet I may,
Oft shall I weep to think of you;
But here I will not, cannot stay.
... - 5. On A Tear
Oh! that the Chemist's magic art
Could crystallize this sacred treasure!
Long should it glitter near my heart,
A secret source of pensive pleasure.
... - 6. Ode To Superstition.[1]
I. 1.
Hence, to the realms of Night, dire Demon, hence!
Thy chain of adamant can bind
... - 7. Verses Written In Westminster Abbey. [1]
Whoe'er thou art, approach, and, with a sigh,
Mark where the small remains of Greatness lie.[2]
There sleeps the dust of Him for ever gone;
How near the Scene where once his Glory shone!
