I will not have the churchyard ground With bones all black and ugly grown, To press my shivering body round, Or on my wasted limbs be thrown. With ribs and skulls I will not sleep, In clammy beds of cold blue clay, Through which the ringed earth-worms creep, And on the shrouded bosom prey.
Página 160 - Or say that nought is done amiss ; " ' For who the dangerous path can shun " ' In such bewildering world as this ? " ' But love can every fault forgive, " ' Or with a tender look reprove j " ' And now let naught in memory live, " ' But that we meet, and that we love.
Página 32 - Must well be lash'd before they take the load ; " They may be willing for a time to run, " But you must whip them ere the work be done : " To tell a boy, that, if he will improve, " His friends will praise him^ and his parents love, " Is doing nothing — he has not a doubt " But they will love him, nay, applaud, without : " Let no fond sire a boy's ambition trust, " To make him study, let him see he must.
