RETIREMENT: AN ODE.
Retirement, nurse of wisdom, hail!
Tenant of the peaceful vale,
Stranger to the stormy strife,
That shakes the dizzy heights of life;
. . . [12 more lines]
While, in accents soft and clear,
Music greets th' enraptur'd ear;
. . . [48 more lines]
Come, O come, inchanting choir,
Guardians of the silver lyre!
. . . [10 more lines]
