Ambrose Philips

“Wearied then and glad of rest,Like the linnet in the nest.”

“And thou shalt in thy daughter see,This picture, once, resembled thee.”

“Timely blossom, Infant fair,Fondling of a happy pair.”

“He the robe of justice wore,Sully'd not, as heretofore,When the magistrate was soughtWith yearly gifts. Of what availAre guilty hoards? for life is frail;And we are judg'd where favour is not bought.”

“The stag in limpid currents with surpriseSees crystal branches on his forehead rise.”

“There solid billows of enormous size,Alps of green ice, in wild disorder rise.”

“The flowers anew returning seasons bring!But beauty faded has no second spring.”

“Studious of ease and fond of humble things.”
