But our mem'ry shall live with the names of the brave.


TO MY COPY OF SHAKSPEARE WHICH HAD BEEN LOST.

Hast thou come back, my Shakspeare! bard,

Who didst dethrone and drive away those others,

From cold Parnassus, fate that seem'd too hard,

To be inflicted on thy gentle brothers.

Thou didst spare one, left him enthroned fast,

The blind old man of Scio, hoary Homer,
