 A favorite has no friend! |
| Alas! regardless of their doom, the little victims play! No sense have they of ills to come nor care beyond today. |
| And weep the more, because I weep in vain. |
| Beyond the limits of a vulgar fate, / Beneath the good how far - but far above the great. |
| Brushing with hasty steps the dews away / To meet the sun upon the upland lawn. |
| 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? |
| Commerce changes the fate and genius of nations. |
| Dear as the light that visits these sad eyes; / Dear as the ruddy drops that warm my heart. |
| Each in his narrow cell for ever laid, the rude forefathers of the hamlet sleep. |
| Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife |
| Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife, Their sober wishes never learned to stray; Along the cool, sequestered vale of life They kept the noiseless tenor of their way |
| Far from the sun and summer-gale, / In thy green lap was Nature's darling laid. |
| Forbade to wade through slaughter to a throne, / And shut the gates of mercy on mankind. |
| Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air |
| Full many a gem of purest ray serene / The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear: / Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, / And waste its sweetness on the desert air. |
