Ode, Sacred To The Memory Of Mrs. Oswald (第1/1页)
ode, sacred to the memory of mrs. oswald of aucruive dweller in yon dungeon dark, hangman of creation! mark, who in eeds appears, laden with unhonour'd years, noosing with care a bursting purse, baited with many a deadly curse? strophe view the wither'd beldam's face; thy keen iion trace aught of humanity's sweet, melting grace? hat eye, 'tis rheum o'erflows; pity's flood there never rose, see these hands retched to save, hands that took, but never gave: keeper of mammon's iro, lo, there she goes, unpitied and u, she goes, but not to realms of everlasti! antistrophe plunderer of armies! lift thine eyes, (a while forbear, ye t fiends;) seest thou whose step, unwilling, hither bends? no fallen angel, hurl'd from upper skies; 'tis thy trusty quondam mate, doom'd to share thy fiery fate; she, tardy, hell-lies. epode and are they of no more avail, ten thousand glittering pounds a-year? in other worlds mammon fail, omnipotent as he is here! o, bitter mockery of the pompous bier, while down the wretched vital part is driven! the cave-lodged beggar,with a sce clear, expires in rags, unknown, and goes to heaven.
