With tumult less, and with less hostile din,
Now in the emptier waste, resembling air,
Weighs his spread wings, at leisure to behold
Far off the empyreal Heaven, extended wide
In circuit, undetermin'd square or round,
With opal towers and battlements adorn'd;
And fast by, hanging in a golden chain,
This pendant World, in bigness as a star
Of smallest magnitude close by the Moon.

She gave him of that fair enticing fruit
With liberal hand : he scrupled not to eat,
Against his better knowledge; pot deceivid,
But fondly overcome with female charm.
Earth trembled from her entrails, as again
In pangs; and Nature gave a second groan;
Sky lour'd; and, muttering thunder, some sad drops
Wept at completing of the mortal sin
Original : while Adam took no thought,
Eating his fill. In lust they burned.

AUTUMN.

The wine she drinks is made of grapes.-Shakspeare.

Him, from his craggy winding haunts unearth'd,
Let all the thunder of the chace pursue.
Throw the broad ditch behind you ; o'er the hedge
High bound, resistless ; nor the deep morass
Refuse, but through the shaking wilderness
Pick your nice way; into the perilous flood
Bear fearless, of the raging instinct full ;
And as you ride the torrent, to the banks
Your triumph sound sonorous, running round,
From rock to rock, in circling echoes tost;
Then scale the mountains to their woody tops ;
Rush down the dangerous steep; and o'er the lawn,
In fancy swallowing up the space between,
Pour all your speed into the rapid game,
For happy he ! who tops the wheeling chace ;
Has every maze evolv'd, and every guile
Disclos'd ; who knows the merits of the pack;
Who saw the villain seiz’d, and dying hard,
Without complaint, though by a hundred mouths
Relentless torn : O glorious he, beyond
His daring peers! when the retreating horn
Calls them to ghostly halls of grey renown,
With woodland honours grac’d; the fox's fur,
Depending decent from the roof; and spread
Round the dread walls, with antic figures fierce,
The stag's large front: he then is loudest heard,
When the night staggers with severer toils,
With feats Thessalian Centaurs never knew,
And their repeated wonders shake the dome.
Then sated Hunger bids his brother Thirst
Produce the mighty bowl ; the mighty boul,
Swelld high with fiery juice, steams liberal round,
