Էջ 323 - One morn I missed him on the accustomed hill, Along the heath, and near his favorite tree; Another came ; nor yet beside the rill, Nor up the lawn, nor at the wood was he." The second is from the Ode :
Էջ 486 - of gold, And many goodly states and kingdoms seen, Round many western islands have I been, Which bards in fealty to Apollo hold ; Oft of one wide expanse have I been told, That deep-browed Homer ruled as his demesne ; Yet
