SHAKESPEARE'S SONNETS.

TENNYSON.
"And all the train of bounteous hours
Conduct by paths of growing powers
To reverence and the silver hair;
Conduct by paths of growing powers
To reverence and the silver hair;
Till slowly worn her earthly robe,
Her lavish mission richly wrought,
Leaving great legacies of thought,
Thy spirit should fail from off the globe;
Her lavish mission richly wrought,
Leaving great legacies of thought,
Thy spirit should fail from off the globe;
What time mine own might also flee,
As link'd with thine in love and fate."
In Memoriam, lxxxii. 8-10.
As link'd with thine in love and fate."
In Memoriam, lxxxii. 8-10.
"Her care is not to part and prove;
She takes, when harsher moods remit,
What slender shade of doubt may flit,
And makes it vassal unto love."
In Memoriam, xlviii. 2.
She takes, when harsher moods remit,
What slender shade of doubt may flit,
And makes it vassal unto love."
In Memoriam, xlviii. 2.
