FRAGMENT. THE TEARS OF THE EAGLE,
On the Death of his Master, at --- College, Oxford, 1775.
How gloomily, behind yon Eastern GroveFrom the dark Chambers of the Night, looks out
The purple eye of Morn! Ev'n so befits
Her rising suited to my woe! for mine,
That wont to court Hyperion's burning kiss
And drink the rich effulgence of his beam,
Is dim with Sorrow. [OMITTED]
