This the divine Cecilia found, And to her Maker's praise confined the sound. When the full organ joins the tuneful quire, Th...

Half afraid, he first Against the window beats; then, brisk, alights On the warm hearth; then, hopping o'er the floor, Eyes all the smiling family askance, And pecks, and starts, and wonders where he is; Till more familiar grown, the table-crumbs Attract his slender feet.

112. oldal - Nestling repair, and to the thicket some ; Some to the rude protection of the thorn Commit their feeble offspring : the cleft tree Offers its kind concealment to a few, Their food its insects, and its moss their nests. Others apart far in the grassy dale, Or rough' ning waste, their humble texture weave.
170. oldal - Has drunk the flood, and from his lively haunt The trout is banished by the sordid stream, Heavy and dripping, to the breezy brow Slow move the harmless race ; where, as they spread Their swelling treasures to the sunny ray, Inly disturbed, and wondering what this wild Outrageous tumult means, their loud complaints The country fill — and, tossed from rock to rock, Incessant bleatings run around the hills.
