Leigh Hunt—Rimini.
8. He writes brave verses, speaks brave words,
Swears brave oaths, and breaks them as bravely
As You Like It.
9. In truth he is a strange and wayward wight,
Fond of each gentle and each dreadful scene;
In darkness and in storm he finds delight,
Nor less than when on ocean's wave serene
The southern sun displays his dazzling sheen.
Beattie—Minstrel.
