Now when the child of morning, rosy-fingered Dawn, appeared,
Alcinous and Ulysses both rose, and Alcinous led the way to the

The night-wind's shriek is pitiless and hollow,
The boding bat flits by on sullen wing,

Feel Me
â??Feel me to do right,â? our father said on his deathbed.

A Tardy Apology - I
Mëcenas, you will be my death,--though friendly you profess yourself,--

An Apology For The Bottle Volcanic
Sometimes I dip my pen and find the bottle full of fire,
The salamanders flying forth I cannot but admire.

And then 'tis but itself again, and does not smoke at all.

Than any beside, one bard except.

An Apology To The Earl Of Orrery
Not Persia's Monarch could, unmov'd, survey
Those num'rous Hosts, which Time must sweep away:

Blended with graying hair and wrinkles,
To you, my child, seem inconsistent?

The fumes of wine infuriate send,

Who but deplores that hapless friend?
