| Sigourney, Lydia Howard (Huntley). Sketch of Connecticut, Forty Years Since. 1824. | “From lasting and unclouded day, From joys refin'd, above allay, And from a spring without decay— I come!—by Cynthia's borrow'd beams. To visit my Cornelia's dreams, And give them yet sublimer themes. Behold the man thou lov'dst before! Pure streams have wash'd away his gore, And Pompey now shall bleed no more. By death, this glory I assume, Nor could I bear the fearful doom, To outlive the liberties of Rome By me, her changeful fate was tried, Her honour was my dearest pride. I for it liv'd, and with it died. Nor shall my vengeance be withstood, Nor unattended with a flood of Roman and Egyptian blood; Cæsar himself it shall pursue, His days shall troubled be, and few, And he shall fall by treason too. He, by severity divine, Shall swell the offerings at my shrine. As I was his, he shall be mine. Regret thy woes, my Love, no more, For Fate shall waft thee soon ashore, And to thy Pompey, thee restore; Where, past the fears of sad removes, We'll entertain our deathless loves, In beauteous and immortal groves: There, none a tyrant's crown shall wear, No Cæsar be dictator there, Nor shall Cornelia shed a tear.” | quote | Lowe, John. Pompey's Ghost. | Song | |
