Pagina 201 - Cast in his dart, which made three moidores light ; 'And, as he saw his darling money fail, Blew his last breath, to sink the lighter scale.
Pagina 206 - Where'er mankind and misery are found — O'er burning sands, deep waves, or wilds of snow, Thy HOWARD, journeying, seeks the house of woe.
Pagina 207 - Mercy through the gloom, And shows the prison, sister to the tomb ! — Gives to her babes the self-devoted wife, To her fond husband liberty and life ! — — The spirits of the good, who bend from high Wide o'er these earthly scenes their partial eye, When first, array 'd in Virtue's purest robe, They saw her Howard traversing the globe ; Saw round his brows her sun-like glory blaze In arrowy circles of unwearied rays ; Mistook a mortal for an angel-guest, And ask'd what seraph-foot the earth...
