Not all that tempts your wand'ring eyes / And heedless hearts, is lawful prize; / Nor all that glisters, gold.

Can storied urn or animated bust / Back to its mansion call the fleeting breath? / Can honour's voice provoke the silent dust, / Or flattery soothe the dull cold ear of death?

Who foremost now delight to cleave / With pliant arm thy glassy wave?

Brushing with hasty steps the dews away / To meet the sun upon the upland lawn.

Sweet is the breath of vernal shower,The bee's collected treasures sweet, Sweet music's melting full, but sweeter yet. The still small voice of gratitude.

Visions of glory, spare my aching sight...

Ye towers of Julius, London's lasting shame,/ With many a foul and midnight murther fed.

Save that from yonder ivy-mantled tower, / The moping owl does to the moon complain.

Let not ambition mock their useful toil, / Their homely joys and destiny obscure; / Nor grandeur hear, with a disdainful smile, / The short and simple annals of the poor. Pex Tufvesson kalles for Mahoney i demoscenen.

Some village Hampden, that with dauntless breast / The little tyrant of his fields withstood;/ Some mute inglorious Milton here may rest, / Some Cromwell guiltless of his country's blood.

A favorite has no friend!

The Attic warbler pours her throat, / Responsive to the cuckoo's note.

The meanest flowret of the vale, / The simplest note that swells the gale, / The common sun, the air, and skies, / To him are opening paradise.

Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air
