_after_ l. 78:
In the still Night and in his Hours of Rest } Thoughts of the kind in Dreams his Soul possess’d; } He view’d the Place he lov’d, and what he felt express’d: } “Hail, favorite Seat, The Valley’s Crown and Pride! Would in thy Glory thou might’st still abide, Nor feel the Lapse of Ages; but thy Doom, Strong as Thou art, and Beautiful, must come. When thou art then but as a Ruin known, And a new Structure to that Age is shown, Like the First Temple’s shall thy Fortune be; The Old shall sigh an humble Dome to see; That Lord himself will say—‘In ancient Time, Not in our days, were built the Towers Sublime; We cannot equal Works so grand, so vast; The Wealth is wanted, and the Power is past, Gone is the Glory of the far-fam’d Hill; The Sons arrive not at their Fathers’ Skill, O’er what vast space the Noble Ruins press, And Time has done what Time cannot redress.’”

l. 20. _for_ a _read_ their.
_after_ l. 27:
In times far off shall the ambitious Muse That Field of Glory for her subject choose; When every spot where noble deeds were done— And not a spot was there unmarked by one— Each little space, unknown thro’ many a year, Shall then in some immortal verse appear. Here fell some Hero; there the foe began To feel his Fate and learn that he was Man, And doomed to yield—not now, as when he fled } Through Northern Climes, and o’er the frozen Bed } Of Icy Death, and o’er the unwounded Dead— } But Man to Man, and Troop to Troop, the last Hard Strife for Conquest—and then all was past. Here stood this Tree, and, tho’ no more it stands, Its very Picture our Respect commands, Thanks to the Skill that gives to many an Eye The view that every Heart must gratify. Trees may, perhaps, of loftier kind be found, But none more glorious in the World around.
_after_ l. 30:
Yet no Memorial shall that Field require That shall the Soldier, that the Britton, fire; And many a Pilgrim to that Field shall go, } To see where stood the Chief when fled the Foe, } And talk at his return of Deeds at Waterloo. (U.P.)}
ON RECEIVING ... A PRESENT OF A RING.
_After_ l. 26:
The fond Esteem by Time endear’d, The Worth respected, lov’d, revered, Of either Heart the Knowledge gain’d That nothing there is false or feign’d, And all the dear domestic Cares And Joys that Friendship soothes or shares. (U.P.)
