Rinaldo to Laura Maria

 THOU! whose sublime poetic art 
Can pierce the pulses of the heart, 
Can force the treasur'd tear to flow 
In prodigality of woe; 
Or lure each jocund bliss to birth 
Amid the sportive bow'rs of mirth: 
LAURA DIVINE! I call thee now 
To yonder promontory's brow 
That props the skies; while at its feet 
With fruitless ire the billows beat, 
There let my fainting sense behold 
Those sapphire orbs their heaven unfold, 
While from thy lips vermilion bow 
Sweet melody her shafts shall throw­ 
Yet do not, do not yield delight, 
Nor with dear visions bless my sight. 

Grant me despair, thou mightiest Muse! 
O'er the vast scene thy spells diffuse, 
And with a mad terrific strain 
Conjure up demons from the main: 
Storms upon storms indignant heap, 
Bid Ocean howl, and Nature weep; 
'Till the Creator blush to see 
How horrible His World can be; 
While I will glory to blaspheme, 
And make the joys of hell my theme. 
Hah! check this frenzy, spare my soul, 
O'er my parch'd cheek soft sorrows roll, 
Subdue this vain impassion'd rage, 
An atom's energies assuage; 
Nor let a mortal wretch presume 
To invocate so dire a doom. 
What tho' the EAGLE sits forlorn 
And swoln and sad awaits the morn, 
When he may wave his golden wing,
From Night's detested gloom to spring, 
And with the Sun's advancement fly, 
In full meridian blaze to die: 
Yet shall the chirping FINCH decay, 
Upon the hedgerow's wither'd spray, 
Ere the first beam of light is found, 
And drop unnotic'd to the ground. 
So I alas! shall never see 
The dawn of hope awake for me, 
Still as I turn, new storms appear, 
And darker lours this mental sphere. 
Ah, who shall one short comfort give, 
Or teach my struggling thought to live; 

What hand my bleeding bosom bind, 
What MOSELEY medicate my mind? 
What Star disperse the thick'ning shade, 
That bids my restless Being fade?
Yet I have seen the Lord of Day 
Dart from his car the burning ray, 
And rush a hero to the fight, 
Across the pendant plains of light: 
I've seen the bashful Moon aspire 
To bind her brow with mimic fire, 
And o'er the calm translucent air 
Diffusive shake her silver hair. 
I've paus'd enraptur'd at the tone 
That from the Evening Copse is thrown 
By the wild Poet of the glade, 
Who rests his wing beneath the shade, 
And I have prov'd th' unequal bliss 
That burns upon the crimson kiss, 
When true adoring souls unite 
To perish in the proud delight. 
These now are lost to me­I stand 
Alone in ev'ry peopled land, 
No pleasure now my cold heart cheers, 
The future points a vale of tears­ 
Love rends my name from his bright page, 
And yields it to approaching age­ 
Then lead me, LAURA! to the bow'r 
Where sadly droops each with'ring flow'r, 
Where pois'nous shrubs disease exhale, 
And fev'rish vapours load the gale; 
There sink me to the sordid grief 
That meanly supplicates relief; 

There tell me I am most despis'd, 
E'en by thyself, whom most I priz'd, 
So shall I gladly welcome fate, 
And perish in thy perfect hate: 
So shall I better bear th' eternal pain, 
Never to see thy Form, or hear thy Voice again.

Sonnet

 Since you would claim the sources of my thought
Recall the meshes whence it sprang unlimed,
The reedy traps which other hands have times
To close upon it. Conjure up the hot
Blaze that it cleared so cleanly, or the snow
Devised to strike it down. It will be free.
Whatever nets draw in to prison me
At length your eyes must turn to watch it go.

My mouth, perhaps, may learn one thing too well,
My body hear no echo save its own,
Yet will the desperate mind, maddened and proud,
Seek out the storm, escape the bitter spell
That we obey, strain to the wind, be thrown
Straight to its freedom in the thunderous cloud

To Sir Clipsby Crew

 Since to the country first I came,
I have lost my former flame;
And, methinks, I not inherit,
As I did, my ravish'd spirit.
If I write a verse or two,
'Tis with very much ado;
In regard I want that wine
Which should conjure up a line.
Yet, though now of Muse bereft,
I have still the manners left
For to thank you, noble sir,
For those gifts you do confer
Upon him, who only can
Be in prose a grateful man.
