Epigram: From The French Of Rulhières

by Lord Byron

Lord Byron

If, for silver or for gold,
You could melt ten thousand pimples
Into half a dozen dimples,
Then your face we might behold,
Looking, doubtless, much more snugly;
Yet even then 'twould be damned ugly.
August 12, 1819.

    The Assabet
    by Henry David Thoreau
    Up this pleasant stream let's row For the livelong summer's day, Sprinkling foam where'er we go In wreaths as white as driven snow— Ply the oars, away! away!
