SIR JOHN DENHAM.
1615-1679.
Cooper's Hill.
O could I flow like thee, and make thy stream
My great example, as it is my theme!
Though deep, yet clear; though gentle, yet not dull;
Strong without rage; without o'erflowing, full.
The Sophy. A Tragedy.
Actions of the last age are like Almanacs of the last year.
