A FONT OF TYPE.
This latent mine—these unlaunch'd voices—passionate powers, |
Wrath, argument, or praise, or comic leer, or prayer devout, |
(Not nonpareil, brevier, bourgeois, long primer merely,) |
These ocean waves arousable to fury and to death, |
Or sooth'd to ease and sheeny sun and sleep, |
Within the pallid slivers slumbering. |
