I saw the Persian fly.

I woke—the sudden trumpet’s blast

Call’d to another fight:

From visions of our glorious past,

Who doth not wake in might?

TO MISS F. A. L. ON HER BIRTH-DAY.

What Wish can Friendship form for thee,

What brighter star invoke to shine?—

Thy path from every thorn is free,

And every rose is thine!
