Inured to stand, and suffer wrong.
O’erwhelmed at length, upon the plain
It puts forth wings, and sweeps the main;
The self-same foe undaunted braves,
And fights the winds upon the waves.
James Montgomery.
ON AN ANCIENT OAK.
FROM THE GREEK OF ANTIPHILUS.
Hail, venerable boughs, that in mid sky
Spread broad and deep your leafy canopy!
