Quotes
- “In Beauty's dwelling all things fair,And rich, to win her sweet smiles strove;But still young Beauty's only careWas, to watch o'er the lamp of Love.”
- “But tir'd at length poor Beauty slept,And while she rested, wearied quite,Indifference to the dear lamp crept,And quench'd its warm, and splendid light.”
- “To win, beloved Caroline from thee,One thought, in years when we shall sever'd be----Sever'd, perchance, by those deep waves, which pourTheir billowy murmurs round our native shore,--For this, I wander'd round the Bow'rs of Song,A weary, and rejected suppliant long,And of the Muses crav'd in humblest toneFrom their rich wreaths, one simple bud alone:They did but fling their wildest weeds at me,And thus I twin'd them into verse for thee!”
