A Fragment

[Published in The Gem: a Literary Annual. London: W. Marshall, Holborn Bars, mdcccxxxi.]

Where is the Giant of the Sun, which stood

In the midnoon the glory of old Rhodes,

A perfect Idol, with profulgent brows

Far sheening down the purple seas to those

Who sailed from Mizraim underneath the star
