HON. WILLIAM ROBERT SPENCER.
1770-1834.
_Lines to Lady A. Hamilton_.
Too late I stayed--forgive the crime;
Unheeded flew the hours.
How noiseless falls the foot of time,
That only treads on flowers!

DR. GEORGE SEWELL.
--1726.
When all the blandishments of life are gone,
The coward sneaks to death, the brave live on.

SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE.
1772-1834
_The Ancient Mariner_.
Part i.
And listens like a three years' child.
Part ii.
We were the first that ever burst
Into that silent sea.
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.
* * * * *
Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink.
Part iv.
Alone, alone, all, all alone,
Alone on a wide, wide sea.
Part v.
A noise like of a hidden brook
In the leafy mouth of June.
Part vii.
He prayeth well, who loveth well
Both man and bird and beast.
* * * * *
He prayeth best, who loveth best
All things, both great and small.
* * * * *
A sadder and a wiser man,
He rose the morrow morn.
* * * * *
_Christabel_.
