More dazzlingly when daring in full dress;
Yet thy true lovers more admire by far
Thy naked beauties—give me a cigar!
The Island. Canto ii. Stanza 19.
My days are in the yellow leaf;
The flowers and fruits of love are gone;
The worm, the canker, and the grief
Are mine alone!
On my Thirty-sixth Year.
Brave men were living before Agamemnon.[555:1]
