merops.

    • What care I, so they stand the same,—
    • Things of the heavenly mind,—
    • How long the power to give them name
    • Tarries yet behind?
    • Thus far to-day your favors reach,
    • O fair, appeasing presences!
    • Ye taught my lips a single speech,
    • And a thousand silences.
    • Space grants beyond his fated road
    • No inch to the god of day;
    • And copious language still bestowed
    • One word, no more, to say.
