_Example III--An Ode, from the French of Malherbe_.

"This An | -na so fair,
So talk'd | of by fame,
Why dont | she appear?
Indeed, | she's to blame!
Lewis sighs | for the sake
Of her charms, | as they say;
What excuse | can she make
For not com | -ing away?
If he does | not possess,
He dies | with despair;
Let's give | him redress,
And go find | out the fair"

"Cette Anne si belle,
Qu'on vante si fort,
Pourquoi ne vient elle?
Vraiment, elle a tort!
Son Louis soupire,
Apres ses appas;
Que veut elle dire,
Qu'elle ne vient pas?
S'il ne la possede,
Il s'en va mourir;
Donnons y remede,
Allons la querir."
WILLIAM KING, LL. D.: _Johnson's British Poets_, Vol. iii, p. 590.

_Example IV.--'Tis the Last Rose of Summer_.

1.

"'Tis the last | rose of sum | -_m~er_,
Left bloom | -ing alone;
All her love | -ly compan | -_i~ons_
Are fad | -ed and gone;
No flow'r | of her kin | -_dr~ed_,
No rose | -bud is nigh,
To give | back her blush | -_~es_,
Or give | sigh for sigh.

2.

I'll not leave | thee, thou lone | _~one!_
To pine | on the stem!
Since the love | -ly are sleep | -_~ing_,
Go, sleep | thou with them;
Thus kind | -ly I scat | -_t~er_
Thy leaves | o'er thy bed,
Where thy mates | of the gar | -_d~en_
Lie scent | -less and dead.

3.

So, soon | may I fol | -_l~ow_,
When friend | -ships decay,
And, from love's | shining cir | -_cl~e_,
The gems | drop away;
When true | hearts lie with | -_~er'd_,
And fond | ones are flown,
Oh! who | would inhab | -_it_
This bleak | world alone ?"
T. MOORE: _Melodies, Songs, and Airs_, p. 171.

_Example V.--Nemesis Calling up the Dead Astarte_.

"Shadow! | or spir | -_~it!_
Whatev | -er thou art,
Which still | doth inher | -_~it_
The whole | or a part
Of the form | of thy birth,
Of the mould | of thy clay,
Which return'd | to the earth,
Re-appear | to the day!
Bear what | thou bor | -_~est_,
The heart | and the form,
And the as | -pect thou wor | -_~est_
Redeem | from the worm!
Appear!--Appear!--Appear!"
LORD BYRON: _Manfred_, Act ii, Sc. 4.
