More quotes by William Collins

How sleep the brave who sink to rest
By all their country's wishes blest!

And Hope enchanted smiled, and waved her golden hair.

Love of peace, and lonely musing,
In hollow murmurs died away.

The Passions, an Ode for Music (1747)

By fairy hands their knell is rung,
By forms unseen their dirge is sung.

How Sleep the Brave (1748)

Each lonely scene shall thee restore;
For thee the tear be duly shed;
Beloved till life can charm no more,
And mourn'd till Pity’s self be dead.

Dirge (1744)
