Cowper—Task.

36. When the moon

Bends her new silver bow, as if to fling

Her arrowy lustre through some vapor's wing.

Park Benjamin.

37. Be it the summer noon; a sandy space

The ebbing tide has left upon its place,

While the broad basin of the ocean keeps

An equal motion, swelling as it sleeps,

Then, slowly sinking, curling to the strand,
