SOUTHEY.

28. Ever wakeful echo; The nymph of sportive mockery, that still Hides behind every rock and every dell, And softly glides, unseen, from hill to hill; No sound doth rise but mimic it she will.

THEODORE FAY.

29. The sounding Viol; When eyes with speaking glances, Kindle high with pleasure, As rings the well-known strain; With easy gliding motion, involved in graceful fancies, Of light uncertain measure, Responds the fairy train.

J. G. PERCIVAL.

30. Low whisperings in boats, As they shoot through the moonlight, with drippings of oars.

32. The sounds awaken'd there In the Pine leaves fine and small, Soft and sweetly musical, By the fingers of the air.

CROLY--Angel of the World.

34. The roar Of ocean's everlasting surges, Tumbling upon the beach's hard-beat floor, Or sliding backward to the shore, To meet the landward wave, and slowly plunge once more.
