INDEX OF FIRST LINES.

A Christian's wit is inoffensive light.

Adieu," Vinosa cries, ere yet he sips

Ages elapsed ere Homer's lamp appeared.
All are not such. I had a brother once
All we behold is miracle, but seen
Almighty King! whose wondrous hand
A nightingale, that all day long
Art thou a man professionally tied
A spaniel, Beau, that fares like you

Be it a weakness, it deserves some praise.

Between Nose and Eyes a strange contest arose
Breathe from the gentle south, O Lord
But slighted as it is, and by the great
By whom was David taught

Dear Anna-between friend and friend

Dear Joseph-five-and-twenty years ago
Delia, the unkindest girl on earth

Descending now (but cautious lest too fast)
Doomed, as I am, in solitude to waste
Dubius is such a scrupulous good man

England, with all thy faults, I love thee still

Farewell! endued with all that could engage
Farewell, false hearts! whose best affections fail
Far from the world, O Lord, I flee

From school to Cam or Isis, and thence home.

God moves in a mysterious way

Gray dawn appears; the sportsman and his train

Hackney'd in business, wearied at that oar
Hark! how it floats upon the dewy air
Hark, my soul ! it is the Lord

Hark! 'tis the twanging horn! O'er yonder bridge
Hastings! I knew thee young, and of a mind
Hatred and vengeance,-my eternal portion
Hayley, thy tenderness fraternal, shown
Heaven speed the canvas, gallantly unfurled
He is the happy man, whose life even now
He lives who lives to God, alone

Here Johnson lies, a sage by all allowed
Here lies one who never drew
Here lies, whom hound did ne'er pursue
Here unmolested, through whatever sign
He who sits from day to day

Hic etiam jacet

How oft, my Delia, since our last farewell
How oft upon yon eminence our pace

How various his employments whom the world

If ever thou hast felt another's pain

I have loved the rural walk through lanes

I know the mind that feels indeed the fire

In him, Demosthenes was heard again
In Scotland's realm, where trees are few
I own I am shocked at the purchase of slaves

I pity kings whom worship waits upon
I saw the woods and fields at close of day
I shall not ask Jean Jacques Rousseau

I sing of a journey to Clifton

It happened on a solemn eventide

I venerate the man whose heart is warm
I was a stricken deer that left the herd

John Gilpin was a citizen.

Just when our drawing-rooms begin to blaze

Let laurels, drenched in pure Parnassian dews.
Leuconomus (beneath well-sounding Greek
Lovely indeed the mimic works of Art

Man views it and admires, but rests content
Mary! I want a lyre with other strings

Nature, exerting an unwearied power

Oh happy shades! to me unblest

Oh Nymph of transatlantic fame

Oh that those lips had language! Life has passed
Oh 'tis a sight to be with joy perused

Our good old friend is gone, gone to his rest

Patriots have toil'd, and in their country's cause
Patron of all those luckless brains

Patron of else the most despised of men
Petronius! all the Muses weep for thee
Poor, yet industrious, modest, quiet, neat

Round Thurlow's head in early youth

So glide my life away! and so at last
Survivor sole, and hardly such, of all
Sweet is the harp of prophecy; too sweet.

-Tell me, if you can, what power
That ocean you of late surveyed
The Frenchman first in literary fame
The greenhouse is my summer seat
The Lord of all, Himself through all diffused
The Lord will happiness divine

The lover too shuns business and alarms
The night was winter in his roughest mood

Then shame to manhood, and opprobrious more
The poplars are fell'd; farewell to the shade
There is in souls a sympathy with sounds.

The rose had been washed, just washed in a shower
These therefore I can pity, placed remote
The twentieth year is well-nigh past.
This evening, Delia, you and I.

To rise at noon, sit slipshod and undressed
'Twas in the glad season of spring

Unwin, I should but ill repay

Virtuous and faithful HEBERDEN, whose skill

Weak and irresolute is man

Well,-one at least is safe. One shelter'd hare

We too are friends to loyalty.
