Sonnet.

Written in a Volume of Shakspeare.

How bravely Autumn paints upon the sky

The gorgeous fame of Summer which is fled!

Hues¹ of all flow’rs, that in their ashes lie,

Trophied in that fair light whereon they fed —

Tulip, and hyacinth, and sweet rose red —

Like exhalations from the leafy mould,

Look here how honor glorifies² the dead,

And warms their scutcheons with a glance of gold! —

Such is the memory of poets old,

Who on Parnassus’ hill have bloom’d elate;

Now they are laid under their marbles cold,

And turned to clay, whereof they were create;

But god Apollo hath them all enroll’d,

And blazon’d on the very clouds of Fate!
