O music, sphere descended maid, Friend of pleasure, wisdom's aid. - [Music] Each lonely scene shall thee restore; For thee the tear be duly shed; Belov'd till life can charm no more, And mourn'd till Pity's self be dead. - Dirge in Cymbeline [Mourning] Too nicely Jonson knew the critic's part, Nature in him was almost lost in art. - Epistle to Sir Thomas Hanmer on his Edition of Shakespeare [Criticism] How sleep the brave, who sink to rest, By all their country's wishes blest! . . . . By fairy hands their knell is rung, By forms unseen their dirge is sung. - Ode, written in 1746 [Bravery : Soldiers] But thou, O hope, with eyes so fair, What was thy delighted measure? Still it whisper'd promised pleasure, And bade the lovely scenes at distance hail! - Ode on the Passions (l. 29) [Hope] And Hope enchanted smiled, and waved her golden hair. - Ode on the Passions (l. 3) [Hope] In numbers warmly pure, and sweetly strong. - Ode to Simplicity [Character] The redbreast oft, at evening hours, Shall kindly lend his little aid, With hoary moss, and gathered flowers, To deck the ground where thou art laid. - Odes--Dirge in Cymbeline [Robins] When music, heavenly maid, was young, While yet in early Greece she sung, The Passions oft to hear her shell, Throng'd around her magic cell. - Passions (l. 1) [Music] In notes by distance made more sweet. - Passions (l. 60) [Music] In hollow murmurs died away. - Passions (l. 68) [Music] Filled with fury, rapt, inspir'd. - The Passions (l. 10) [Passion] With eyes upraised, as one inspired, Pale melancholy sate retired; And, from her wild, sequester'd seat, In notes by distance made more sweet, Pour'd through the mellow horn her pensive soul. - The Passions (l. 57) [Melancholy]
