Pagina 23 - Sirens' harmony, That sit upon the nine enfolded spheres, And sing to those that hold the vital shears, And turn the adamantine spindle round, On which the fate of gods and men is wound. Such sweet compulsion doth in music lie, To lull the daughters of Necessity, And keep unsteady Nature to her law...
Pagina 27 - Th' ethereal energies that touch the heart, Conceptions ardent, labouring thought intense, Creative Fancy's wild magnificence, And all the dread sublimities of song, These, Virtue, these to thee alone belong.
Pagina 38 - Oh, doom'd victorious from thy wounds to rise, Dejected INDIA, lift thy downcast eyes, And mark the hour, whose faithful steps for thee Through Time's press'd ranks bring on the jubilee! Roll back, ye crowded years, your thick array, Greet the glad hour, and give the triumph way. Hail! First and Greatest, inexpressive name, Substantial Wisdom, God with God the same ! Oh Light, which shades of fiercest glory veil, Oh human Essence, mix'd with Godhead, hail!
Pagina 33 - A groan, a breath, a sigh, A bitter tear, a drop of misery, A lamp just dying in sepulchral gloom, A voice of anguish from the lonely tomb. Or wept or weeping, all the change we know ; 'Tis all our mournful history below. Pleasure is Grief but smiling to destroy, And what is Sorrow but the ghost of Joy...
Pagina 38 - Then, while transported ASIA kneels around, With ancient arts and long-lost glories crown'd, Some happier Bard, on Ganges' margin laid, Where playful bamboos weave their fretted shade, Shall to the strings a loftier tone impart, And pour in rapturous verse his flowing heart. Stamp'd in immortal light on future days, Through all the strain his country's joys shall blaze ; The Sanscreet song be warm'd with heavenly fires, And themes divine awake from Indian lyres.
Pagina 37 - O'er all the plains, where barbarous hordes afar On panting steeds pursue the roving war, Soft notes of joy th' eternal gloom shall cheer, And smoothe the terrors of the arctic year: Till from the blazing line to polar snows. Through varying realms, one tide of blessing flows. Then shall thy breath,' celestial Peace, unbind The frozen heart, and mingle mind with mind ; With sudden youth shall...
Pagina 25 - . when every lyre was strung, And every clime with mirth and music rung. While Asia's voice her Calidasa blest, Hark ! kindred spirits answer'd from the West. There all his lofty tones Lucretius gave, And epic transports burst on Mincio's wave, While rov'd the Matin bee o'er sweetest flowers, And all Hymettus bloom'd in Tibur's bowers.
Pagina 29 - Wide o'er th' expanse as darts his radiant sight. At once the vanish'd ages roll in light. Old India's Genius, bursting from repose, Bids all his tombs their mighty dead disclose ; Immortal names ! though long immers'd in shade,, Long lost to song, though destin'd not to fade.
Pagina 34 - BRITAIN, thy voice can bid the dawn ascend, On thee alone the eyes of ASIA. bend. High Arbitress ! to thee her hopes are given, Sole pledge of bliss, and delegate of Heaven ; In thy dread mantle all her fates repose, Or bright with blessings, or o'ercast with woes , And future ages shall thy mandate keep, Smile at thy touch, or at thy bidding weep. Oh ! to thy godlike destiny arise ! Awake and meet the purpose of the skies ! Wide as thy sceptre waves, let India learn What virtues round the shrine...
Pagina 35 - And science sooth the Hindoo's mournful breast. In vain has Nature shed her gifts around, For eye or ear, soft bloom or tuneful sound ; Fruits of all hues on every grove display'd, And pour'd profuse the tamarind's gorgeous shade. What joy to him can song or shade afford, Outcast so abject, by himself...
