What wilt not woman, gentle woman, dare
When strong affection stirs her spirit up?

Madoc in Wales (1805)

Then more fierce
The conflict grew; the din of arms, the yell
Of savage rage, the shriek of agony,
The groan of death, commingled in one sound
Of undistinguish'd horrors.

Madoc in Wales (1805)

The Moon arose: she shone upon the lake,
Which lay one smooth expanse of silver light;
She shone upon the hills and rocks, and cast
Upon their hollows and their hidden glens
A blacker depth of shade.

Madoc in Wales (1805)
