MILL AT LISSOY (Frontispiece).
| PAGE
GOLDSMITH'S TOMB IN THE TEMPLE CHURCHYARD | xvii
THE TRAVELLER.
Or where Campania's plain forsaken lies | 5
Bless'd that abode, where want and pain repair | 6
Even now, where Alpine solitudes ascend | 7
Ye lakes, whose vessels catch the busy gale | 8
The shuddering tenant of the frigid zone | 9
Basks in the glare, or stems the tepid wave | 10
While oft some temple's mouldering tops between | 12
In florid beauty groves and fields appear | 13
A mistress or a saint in every grove | 14
Where the bleak Swiss their stormy mansions tread | 16
With patient angle trolls the finny deep | 17
How often have I led thy sportive choir | 18
The willow-tufted bank, the gliding sail | 21
There gentle music melts on every spray | 24
Where wild Oswego spreads her swamps around | 27
THE DESERTED VILLAGE.
The never-failing brook, the busy mill | 32
The shelter'd cot, the cultivated farm | 33
And many a gambol frolick'd o'er the ground | 34
The hollow-sounding bittern guards its nest | 35
Where once the cottage stood, the hawthorn grew | 37
The swain responsive as the milk-maid sung | 38
And fill'd each pause the nightingale had made | 39
To pick her wintry faggot from the thorn | 40
The village preacher's modest mansion rose | 41
Thus to relieve the wretched was his pride | 42
At church, with meek and unaffected grace | 43
Low lies that house, where nut-brown draughts inspir'd | 45
No more the farmer's news, the barber's tale | 45
Space for his lake, his park's extended bounds | 48
Where the poor houseless, shivering female lies | 50
Her modest looks the cottage might adorn | 51
Where crouching tigers wait their hapless prey | 52
The cooling brook, the grassy-vested green | 53
And left a lover's for a father's arms | 54
Downward they move, a melancholy band | 56
THE HERMIT.
Then turn, to-night, and freely share whate'er my cell bestows | 58
The hermit trimm'd his little fire, and cheer'd his pensive guest | 61
And when, beside me in the dale; he caroll'd lays of love | 64
THE CAPTIVITY.
Ye hills of Lebanon, with cedars crown'd | 69
Fierce is the tempest rolling along the furrow'd main | 74
As panting flies the hunted hind, where brooks refreshing stray | 80
O Babylon! how art thou fall'n | 83
THE HAUNCH OF VENISON | 90
THE DOUBLE TRANSFORMATION | 102
AN ELEGY ON THE DEATH OF A MAD DOG | 109
THRENODIA AUGUSTALIS | 116
ON A BEAUTIFUL YOUTH STRUCK BLIND BY LIGHTNING | 125
SONG—"THE THREE PIGEONS" | 130

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by your equipment.

1.F.2.

1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.

1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone providing copies of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works in accordance with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg

Project Gutenberg is synonymous with the free distribution of electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg and future generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 41 Watchung Plaza #516, Montclair NJ 07042, USA, +1 (862) 621-9288. Email contact links and up to date contact information can be found at the Foundation’s website and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project Gutenberg eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg, including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
