Birthday Ode For 31st December, 1787
birthday ode for 31st december, 1787 注释标题 the st birthday of prince charles edward.
afar the illustrious exile roams,
whom kingdoms on this day should hail;
an inmate in the casual shed,
on tra pity's bounty fed,
haunted by busy memory's bitter tale!
beasts of the forest have their savage homes,
but he, who should imperial purple wear,
owns not the p of earth where rests his royal head!
his wretched refuge, dark despair,
while ravening wrongs and woes pursue,
and distant far the faithful few
who would his sorrows share.
false ftterer, hope, away!
