Hail, thou my native soil! thou blessed plot / Whose equal all the world affordeth not! / Show me who can so many crystal rills,
Venus by Adonis' Side
Venus by Adonis' side / Crying kiss'd, and kissing cried, / Wrung her hands and tore her hair
Visions - Sonnet - 1
I saw a silver swan swim down the Lea, / Singing a sad farewell unto the vale, / While fishes leapt to hear her melody,
Visions - Sonnet - 2
A rose, as fair as ever saw the North, / Grew in a little garden all alone; / A sweeter flower did Nature ne'er put forth,
Visions - Sonnet - 3
Down in a valley, by a forest's side, / Near where the crystal Thames rolls on her waves, / I saw a mushroom stand in haughty pride,
Visions - Sonnet - 4
A gentle shepherd, born in Arcady, / That well could tune his pipe, and deftly play / The nymphs asleep with rural minstrelsy,
Welcome, welcome, do I sing,
Love, that to the voice is near / Breaking from your iv'ry pale, / Need not walk abroad to hear
