LINES, FR. NEPENTHE by GEORGE DARLEY

First Line: HURRY ME NYMPHS! O, HURRY ME
Last Line: ALIVE IN HIS UNCOVERED GRAVE.
Subject(s): NYMPHS;

Hurry me Nymphs! O, hurry me
Far above the grovelling sea,
Which, with blind weakness and base roar
Casting his white age on the shore,
Wallows along that slimy floor;
Which with his widespread webbed hands
Seeking to climb the level lands
But rejected still to rave
Alive in his uncovered grave.
