Ode, Composed On A May Morning
While from the purpling east departs
The star that led the dawn,
Blithe Flora from her couch upstarts,
For May is on the lawn.

A spirit's touch alone can know,-
Yet thine the power to wake its rest,
And bid its echoing numbers flow.

Sassoon's Public Statement Of Defiance
'I am making this statement as an act of wilful defiance of military authority, because I believe the war is being deliberately prolonged by those who have the power to end it.
I am a soldier, convinced that I am acting on behalf of soldiers. I believe that this war, upon which I entered as a war of defence and liberation has now become a war of aggression and conquest. I believe that the purposes for which I and my fellow soldiers entered upon this war should have been so clearly stated as to have made it impossible to change them, and that, had this been done, the objects witch actuated us would now be attainable by negotiation.

On Eccho's dying in their last rebound,
The notes of fancy seem no longer strong,

Heroic Stanzas On The Death Of Oliver Cromwell, Written After His Funeral.
