His Triumph of Isis, written as a reply to Mason's Isis 9 contains a spirited invocation to his beloved Alma Mater : " Hail, Oxford, hail ! of all that's good and great, Of all that's fair, the guardian and the seat ; Nurse of each brave pursuit, each gen'rous aim, By truth exalted to the throne of fame ! Like Greece in science arid in liberty, As Athens learned, as Lacedsemon free !" NOTE d. P. 66.
No living writer must have a memory more delightfully stored with recollections of the past, tha...n Lisle Bowles. From youth to old age, as- sociating with the learned, the good, and the great o f his country, de- voted to literature, poetry, and criticism, and finally reposing in the calm seclusion of pastoral life, to few is it permitted to say with greater truth, " Innocuas amo delicias, doctamque quietem. " This quotation may be appropriately followed by his own beautiful sentence, in the Life of Ken, which he has lately published The contrast between the domestic quiet of Isaak Walton's home, and the puritanic broils of the day, he compares to " passing through the tumult and din of the crowd at Hyde Park corner to Holland house, the seat of poetry and kindred taste, where, opening the garden door, in contrast to the noise through which you have passed, you hear only with intense delight the ancient pines mur- muring in the still repose of a summer evening, and the nightingales con- tending in their solitary harmony.
