Till in the distant north it melts away, And mingles indiscriminate with clouds: But if the eye could reach so far, the mart Of England's capital, its domes and spires Might be perceivedYet hence the distant range Of Kentish hills, appear in purple haze; And nearer, undulate the wooded heights, And airy summits, that above the mole Rise in green beauty; and the beacon'd ridge Of Black-down shagg'd with heath, and swelling rude Like a dark island from the vale; its brow Catching the last rays of the evening sun That gleam between the nearer park's old oaks, Then lighten up the river, and make prominent The portal, and the ruin'd battlements Of that dismantled fortress; rais'd what time The Conqueror's successors fiercely fought, Tearing with civil feuds the desolate land.

Charlotte Virginia Walker Smith, 98, died December 10, 2022 from complications of advanced age and osteoporosis at Kavanagh Hospice House in Des Moines. WHEN Jove, in anger to the sons of the earth,Bid artful Vulcan give Pandora birth,And sent the fatal gift which spread belowO'er all the wretched race contagious woe,Unhappy man, by vice and folly tost,Found in the storms of life his quiet lost,While Envy, Avarice, and Ambition, hurl'dDiscord and death around the warring world;Then the blest peasant left his fields and fold,And barter'd love and peace for power and gold;Left his calm cottage and his native plain,In search of wealth to tempt the faithless main;Or, braving danger, in the battle stood,And bathed his savage hands in human blood;No longer then, his woodland walks among,The shepherd lad his genuine passion sung,Or sought at early morn his soul's delight,Or graved her name upon the bark at night;To deck her flowing hair no more he woveThe simple wreath, or with ambitious loveBound his own brow with myrtle or with bay,But broke his pipe, or threw his crook away.The nymphs forsaken, other pleasures sought;Then first for gold their venal hearts were bought,And nature's blush to sickly art gave place,And affectation seized the seat of grace:No more simplicity by sense refined,Or generous sentiment, possess'd the mind:No more they felt each other's joy and woe,And Cupid fled, and hid his useless bow.But with deep grief propitious Venus pined,To see the ills which threaten'd womankind;Ills that she knew her empire would disarm,And rob her subjects of their sweetest charm;Good humour's potent influence destroy,And change for lowering frowns the smile of joy,Then deeply sighing at the mournful view,She tried at length what heavenly art could doTo bring back Pleasure to her pensive train,And vindicate the glories of her reign.A thousand little loves attend the task,And bear from Mars's head his radiant casque,The fair enchantress on its silver boundWeaved with soft spells her magic cestus round,Then shaking from her hair ambrosial dew,Infused fair hope, and expectation new,And stifled wishes, and persuasive sighs,And fond belief, and 'eloquence of eyes,And falt'ring accents, which explain so wellWhat studied speeches vainly try to tell;And more pathetic silence, which impartsInfectious tenderness to feeling hearts;Soft tones of pity; fascinating smiles;And Maia's son assisted her with wiles,And brought gay dreams, fantastic visions brought,And waved his wand o'er the seducing draught.Then Zephyr came: to him the goddess cried,'Go fetch from Flora all her flowery prideTo fill my charm, each scented bud that blows,And bind my myrtles with her thornless rose;Then speed thy flight to Gallia's smiling plain,Where rolls the Loire, the Garonne, and the Seine;Dip in their waters thy celestial wing,And the soft dew to fill my chalice bring;But chiefly tell thy Flora, that to meShe send a bouquet of her fleurs de lys;That poignant spirit will complete my spell.' Smith goes on to ask, why should those who feel nothing but despair not turn to death in the hope that it will relieve them of their grief? But unsought By Luxury yet, the Shepherd still protects The social bird, who from his native haunts Of willowy current, or the rushy pool, Follows the fleecy croud, and flirts and skims, In fellowship among them.

In 1786, she published it anonymously. Just brave enough to try anything.. little knows the sturdy hind, who stands Gazing, with looks where envy and contempt Are often strangely mingled, on the car Where prosperous Fortune sits; what secret care Or sick satiety is often hid, Beneath the splendid outside: He knows not How frequently the child of Luxury Enjoying nothing, flies from place to place In chase of pleasure that eludes his grasp; And that content is e'en less found by him, Than by the labourer, whose pick-axe smooths The road before his chariot; and who doffs What was an hat; and as the train pass on, Thinks how one day's expenditure, like this, Would cheer him for long months, when to his toil The frozen earth closes her marble breast.

May well the terrors of thy triumph brave, by the lightning's momentary blaze,I see him rise the whitening waves above,No longer such as when in happier daysHe gave the enchanted hours--to me and love.

'Toujours perdrix, messieurs, ne valent rien' So did a Gallic monarch once harangue, And evil was the day whereon our bird This saying heard, From certain new acquaintance he had found, Who at their perfect ease, Amid a field of peas Boasted to him, that all the country round, The wheat, and oats, and barley, rye and tares, Quite to the neighbouring sea, were theirs; And theirs the oak, and beech-woods, far and near, For their right noble owner was a peer, And they themselves, luxuriantly were stored In a great dove-coteto amuse my lord !
