2 "O mother Ida, many-fountained Ida, Dear mother Ida, hearken e'er I die.” 3 "Wreathes her brows with sedge." 4"At whose bright presence darkness flies away." 5 A rag, bone, and bottle shop. 8 Here at the portal thou dost stand, Thou openest the mysterious gate "Chivalric virtue, Yet 'mid thieves 'tis known." XVIII. 1 Here, bluest to thee were the skies, For her dear sake, who freely all had given 2 To thee, oh mighty son of unfam'd hammer-man. 1 Thus drawn, the lazy barges rouse Scarce a ripple on Cam's breast serene. 2 This makes the entrance to thy house, Oh Senate, oft a frantic scene. 3 This he'd ne'er brook his men to see. As this his work will still be known 4 When novel it has ceased to be, And grey and seamed the now fresh stone. 5 Thus had he died, how long had been 6 Thy sixth, his labour to complete. Yet, truth be told: at one time well I ween, 7 This had been liker his proud form to greet, Than the now praises murmur'd low and sweet In chapel fam'd,—his ashes at thy feet. XIX. Two partings. 1 "I learnt to be a brave man constantly, ** Because I know, by instinct and my soul, The day comes that our sacred Troy must fall, And Priam and his people. Knowing which, I have no such grief for all my Trojans' sake, As, sweet, for thee. **** There's no man in the world Can send me to the grave apart from fate." 1 "O, and is all forgot? All schooldays' friendship, childhood innocence? Have with our needles created both one flower, 2 "It is the very of the moon; She comes more near the earth than she was wont, And makes men mad." 3 "I am the to this pale sweet swan, Who chants a doleful hymn to his own death." 4 "Oh! for the of a vanished hand." 5 "All is not gold that glitters." 6 "Bold Prometheus did aspire, And stole from heaven the seeds of fire." XX. 1 A common flower; the children's Christmas spree. 2 Grown in a bed; oft groans in bed to be. 1 "My first a little thing what hops." 2 I feed the Nile, enrich the crops. 3 Sow me in Spring, and I'll make Christmas gay. my maze. 8 Old-fashion'd greeting past 'twixt churl and priest. 9 The fierce opponent of Sir Robert Peel. 10 My meaning's long, whether for woe or weal. XXI. 1 "Butcher'd to make a Roman holiday; 2 "A solitary shriek, the bubbling cry Of some strong swimmer in his agony." 1 Poor wretch! condemned for life. 2 A slight staff in hard strife. 3 A sloth with such coarse hair! 4 Splendid when rough, more pleasant far when fair. 5 A modern poetess. 6 Pray storm a little less! 7 Once mighty sea-port, now a lonely heap. 8 Term geological; 9 Sweet hay, in slumber deep. XXII. 1 A land of giants, see. 2 Their vast homes formed of me. 1 Dry germ of tender flowers and leaves. 2 In pond'rous form this great queen grieves. 3 Last home of many a king of old. 4 My males were slain in slaughter cold. 5 Thy yellow meads once spake of loved ones dead. 6 Their bright day o'er,—with me to darkness wed. 1 Sweet little darling! XXIII. 2 And how sweet am I. 1 E'en farthing rushlight has its charms for me. 5 Abbot of Clugny fam'd for fasts and lore. 7 A Saxon king, great foe of one wild beast. 9 Extremest point of finger or of toe. 10 Vast debt to this good man doth Greenland owe. XXIV. Two female moralists. 1 His tale is old but still it stirs all hearts. 4 The lady of the lake, of minstrelsy. 5 A name most quaint, and yet some like it rather. 6 Prince Hal doth Harry succeed: not Turkish son to father. 7 A vowel and a consonant; would right word there were! 8 Surnam'd magnificent, a weight he well could bear. 9 One of Sir Rowland's many sons in Shakespeare's well-known play. 10 In Roslin's fane lie twenty knights, but she is far away. XXV. 1 No care for self could this free hand restrain. 2 Reformer great !—This life not lived in vain. 1 A satirist:—and all three this to those 'mongst whom they dwelt. 2 To Margaret of this royal house fortune hard measure dealt. 3 Thousands, or one, or may be scores, have beaten, still may beat me. 4 This, hero young, still bravely tell, however ill they treat thee. 5 Though made of wood, or even stone,-thy glass gives back but thine. 6 One faithful to the king he deem'd alone had right divine. 1 XXVI. My first encompasses the world. 2 My second is making its way through my first. 1 The nerve most priz'd if I would see my first. |
