Each gaudy bird some slender tribute brings, And lends the growing insect proper wings : Silks of all colours must their aid impart, And every fur promote the fisher's art.
Seite 181 - He called his child, — no voice replied, — He searched with terror wild; Blood, blood he found on every side, But nowhere found his child. 238 "Hell-houndl my child's by thee devoured!
Seite 181 - And now a gallant tomb they raise, With costly sculpture decked ; And marbles storied with his praise Poor Gelert's bones protect.
