Richard Cobbold Poems

This Ostrich taken, vainly tries
From chord of Courser to be free;
She struggles hard, but man defies
Her bold attempt at liberty.
...

The maiden slept! all nature seem'd to smile,
Ten thousand seraphs whispered softly, Love;
She saw one spirit, cheerfully the while
...

Two spaniels met upon the pier,
With each a word for other’s ear;
Flirt, began with sprightly whine,
...
