III. WITH PETRARCA'S SONNETS.

Behold what homage to his idol paid
The tuneful suppliant of Valclusa's shade.
Often his lively fancy tried to cheat
Passion's fixed gaze with some assumed conceit,

89

Often behind the mould'ring columns stood,
And often darted from the laureate wood.
His verses still the tender heart engage,
They charmed a rude, and please a polisht age:
Some are to nature and to passion true,
And all had been so, had he lived for you.
