Lo! darkness bends down like a mother of grief
On the limitless plain, and the fall of her hair It has mantled a world. 477 JOAQUIN MILLER: _From Sea to Sea,_ St. 4. Thy hand, great Anarch, lets the curtain fall, And universal darkness buries all. 478 POPE: _Dunciad,_ Bk. iv., Line 649. =Dart.= Th' adorning thee with so much art Is but a barb'rous skill; 'Tis like the pois'ning of a dart, Too apt before to kill. 479 ABRAHAM COWLEY: _The Waiting Maid._ =Daughter.= Still harping on my daughter. 480 SHAKS.: _Hamlet,_ Act ii., Sc. 2. Farewell, farewell to thee, Araby's daughter! Thus warbled a Peri beneath the dark sea. |
