الصفحة 150 - I change, but I cannot die. For after the rain, when with never a stain, And the nursling of the sky: I pass through the pores of the ocean and shores ; The pavilion of heaven is bare, And the winds and sunbeams with their convex gleams, Build up the blue dome of
الصفحة 250 - At last divine Cecilia came, Inventress of the vocal frame ; The sweet enthusiast, from her sacred store, Enlarged the former narrow bounds, And added length to solemn sounds, With Nature's mother-wit, and arts unknown before.
