Poems by Mark Akenside
For a Column at Runnymede
... ke them swearTo pay it, by transmitting down entireThose sacred rights to which themselves were born ...
Ode to the Country Gentlemen of England
... licity, in vain: To the time's warfare, simple or refin'd, The time itself adapts the warrior's mind ...
The Pleasures of Imagination
... lustre, through the bredeOf colours changing from the splendid roseTo the pale violet's dejected hue ...
