II, l. 220) [Truth] With starving labor pampering idle waste; To tear at pleasure the defected land. - Liberty (pt. IV, l. 1,160) [Labor] While Reason drew the plan, the Heart inform'd The moral page and Fancy lent it grace. - Liberty (pt.

V, l. 124) [Independence] At the throng'd levee bends the venal tribe: With fair but faithless smiles each varnish'd o'er, Each smooth as those that mutually deceive, And for their falsehood each despising each. - Liberty (pt. V, l. 190) [Courtiers] When Britain first at Heaven's command, Arose from out of the azure main, This was the charter of the land, And guardian angels sung this strain; "Rule Britannia! rule the waves; Britons never will be slaves." - Masque of Alfred [England] As like the sacred queen of night, Who pours a lovely, gentle light Wide o'er the dark, by wanderers blest, Conducting them to peace and rest. - Ode to Seraphina [Moon] Among the changing months, May stands confest The sweetest, and in fairest colors dressed. - On May [May] And the plain ox, That harmless, honest, guileless animal, In what has he offended? he whose toil, Patient and ever ready, clothes the land With all the pomp of harvest. - Seasons [Oxen] The juicy pear Lies, in a soft profusion, scattered round. - Seasons [Fruits] But while listening Senates hang upon thy tongue, Devolving through the maze of eloquence A roll of periods, sweeter than her song. - Seasons--Autumn [Eloquence] The lovely young Lavinia once had friends; And fortune smil'd, deceitful, on her birth. - Seasons--Autumn [Fortune] Crown'd with the sickle and the wheaten sheaf, While Autumn, nodding o'er the yellow plain, Comes jovial on. - Seasons--Autumn (l. 1) [Autumn] Age too shines out; and, garrulous, recounts the feats of youth. - Seasons--Autumn (l. 1,231) [Age] O nature! . . .

Sunk in the quenching Gloom, Magnificent and vast, are heaven and earth.
