Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean....623
Tell me not in mournful numbers.......
Tell me not, sweet, I am unkind.......
Tell me, where is fancy bred.......
The apples are ripe in the orchard..
The April sunshine brought.........FRONT FLY LEAF
The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the
fold.

The barge she sat in, like a burnish'd throne......437
The bee from the clover blooms..
The birds must know. Who wisely sings........559
The blasts of Autumn drive the winged seeds...302
The bleakest rock upon the loneliest heath... ..137
The blessed damozel leaned out....
The breaking waves dashed high.........
The bright-robed days sit now at feast, and

Then it came to pass that a pestilence fell on
the city..

Then rose from sea to sky the wild farewell......290
Then the king exclaimed, "This is for me'
The old mayor climbed the belfry tower....................... 87
The poet or priest who told us this....
The quality of mercy is not strained..
The queen, my lord, is dead...................
The rain, the desolate rain!.......
There are faces we fondly recall..
There are gains for all our losses....
There are seven pillars of Gothic mould..
There are songs enough for the hero
There came to port, last Monday night..
There comes, each dying day to bless......
Therefore to be possess'd with double pomp......534
There have been loftier themes than his.....
There is a land, of every land the pride..

The isles of Greece, the isles of Greece !...
The Jackdaw sat on the Cardinal's chair!
The lad and lass were forced to part...
The lady lay in her bed.......

The lark has sung his carol in the sky......
The lists are oped, the spacious area cleared...
The lovely purple of the noon's bestowing...
The meek-eyed morn appears, mother of dews 382
The moonbeams lay upon the hill....

The morning hath not lost her virgin blush......383
The mossy marbles rest.....

The mother of the muses, we are taught...... ..533
The muffled drum's sad roll has beat.....

Too frail to keep the lofty vow............. .........445
Too late I stayed; forgive the crime......
To sit on rocks, to muse o'er flood and fell........511

Touch us gently, Time!
Tread softly-bow the head...
Tread softly through these amorous rooms.......508

ADDISON, JOSEPH.-An English author, pre-em-
inent as an essayist, humorist and moralist, and also
of high rank as a poet, was born in Wiltshire in
1672. His popularity rests chiefly upon his essays
contributed to the Spectator. They are models of the
purest English and have secured to him immortal
fame. His reputation as a poet is founded upon
his "Tragedy of Cato" which appeared in 1713.
He died in London in 1719.

ARNOLD, EDWIN.-An English poet, born in
1832. The "Light of Asia," his best known work,
is a poem on the life and doctrines of Gautama
Booddha, the supposed founder of the Booddhistic
religion. As poetry, it is admirable, but, as serv-
ing to give an idea of the spirit of that religion, it
cannot be relied upon for accuracy of detail in re-
gard to the teachings of Gautama. But it is a plens-
ing poem, and beautifully written.

ARNOLD, MATTHEW.-An English poet, son of
Dr. Thomas Arnold of Rugby and Oxford, was born
at Laleham in Middlesex, in 1822. In 1857, elected
Professor of Poetry at Oxford. His verse is always
calm, chaste, and noble, and there is, throughout
his style of thought, a certain antique grandeur,
differing much from most of the poets of the pres-
ent day.
