ODE HUMBLY INSCRIBED TO THE POET LAUREATE, SELECTION, by STEPHEN DUCK First Line: Behold in ev'ry face imperial grace shine Last Line: Something soft for thought design'd. Subject(s): Cibber, Colley (1671-1757) | |||
Behold in ev'ry Face imperial Grace shine All native to the Race of George and Caroline: In each young Hero we admire The blooming Virtues of his Sire; In each maturing fair we find Maternal Charms of softer kind. Thro'out the whole what matchless Graces shine Paraphonalia sparkles in each Line; Native to Cibber, we admire The Style and Fancy, Wit and Fire; In each maturing Word we find Something soft for Thought design'd. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EPIGRAM OCCASIONED BY CIBBER'S VERSES IN PRAISE OF NASH: 2 by ALEXANDER POPE EPIGRAM ON CIBBER'S DECLARATION THAT HE WILL HAVE LAST WORD by ALEXANDER POPE THE THRESHER'S LABOUR, SELS by STEPHEN DUCK UNCLE JIM'S BAPTIST REVIVAL HYMN by SIDNEY LANIER LAMENT FOR FLODDEN [FIELD] by JEAN ELLIOT (1727-1805) STANZAS ON THE DEATH OF A FRIEND by REGINALD HEBER THE ODYSSEY: THE GARDENS OF ALCINOUS by HOMER THE FAIR SINGER by ANDREW MARVELL |
