To noontide shades incontinent he ran, Where purls the brook with sleep-inviting sound; Or when Dan Sol to slope his wheels began, Amid the broom he bask'd him on the ground, Where the wild thyme and camomile are found; There would he linger, till the latest ray Of light sat trembling on the welkin's bound; Then homeward through the twilight shadows' stray, Sauntering and slow. So bad hepassed many a day. LIX. Yet not in thoughtless slumber were they past: For oft the heavenly fire, that lay conceal'd Beneath the sleeping embers, mounted fast, And all its native light anew reveal'd: ()t't as he travers'd the cerulean field, And lIark'd the clouds that drove before the wind, Ten thousand glorious systems would he build, Ten thousand great ideas fill'd his mind; But with the clouds they fled, and left no trace behind. LX. With him was sometimes join'd, in silent walk, (Profoundly silent, for they never spoke) One shyer still, who quite detested talk: Oft, stung by spleen, at once away he broke, To groves of pine, and broad o'ershading oak; ' There, inly thrill'd, he wander'd all alone, And on himself his pensive fury wroke, Ne ever utter'd word, save when fust shone The glittering star of eve--' Thank heaven! the day is done.' LXI. Here lurk'd a wretch, who had not crept abroad For forty years, ne face of mortal seen; In chamber brooding like a loathly toad: And sure his linen was not very clean. Through secret loop-holes, that had practis'd been Near to his bed, his dinner vile he took; Unkempt, and rough, of squalid face and mein, Our castle's shame! whence, from his filthy nook, We drove...

Recal past times, bring back the days of old, When the great noble bore his honours bold, And in the face of peril, when he dar'd Things which his legal bastard, if declar'd, Might well discredit; faithful to his trust, In the extremest points of justice, just; Well knowing all, and lov'd by all he knew, True to his king, and to his country true; Honest at court, above the baits of gain, Plain in his dress, and in his manners plain; Moderate in wealth, generous, but not profuse, Well worthy riches, for he knew their use; Possessing much, and yet deserving more, Deserving those high honours which he wore With ease to all, and in return gain'd fame, Which all men paid, because he did not claim. When the grim war was plac'd in dread array Fierce as the lion roaring for his prey, Or lioness of royal whelps foredone, In peace, as mild as the departing sun, A general blessing wheresoe'er he turn'd, Patron of learning, nor himself unlearn'd; Ever awake at Pity's tender call, A father of the poor, a friend to all; Recal such times, and from the grave bring back A worth like this, my heart shall bend or crack, My stubborn pride give way, my tongue proclaim, And every Muse conspire to swell his fame; Till Envy shall to him that praise allow, Which she cannot deny to Temple now. This justiceclaims, nor shall the bard forget, "Delighted with the task, to pay that debt, To pay it like a man; and in his lays, Sounding such worth, prove his own right to praise. But let not pride and prejudice misdeem, And think that empty titles are my theme; Titles, with me, are vain, and nothing worth; I reverence virtue, but_ I laugh at birth. Give me a lord...
