While the adults, in many a various band,
Some here, some there dispersed, their living gain.
Arms are the trade of some, by some are scannedHalf the radiant world I scanned,
Till the deep unclouded sky
Circled sea and land.But when you ruefully have scanned
The chronicles of Time,
You'll find that lucre lends a handHis cold eye truth and conduct scanned,
July was in his sunny heart,
October in his liberal hand.Poised even in that steady hand?--
What is that measure closely scanned?Our men the North Sea scanned,
And each rejoicing gun
Welcomed a Foe at hand,So, whene'er a scheme I planned,
Eagerly the tomes I scannedWhile the watchful warders, sword in hand,
With eyes suspicious keenly scannedAll were too little for the merchant's hand,
And yet my bravery bigger than his book;
But when this hot account was coldly scanned,Rains under shed and tree had driven the band.
Here ten, there twenty, seven or eight, or four,
Near or further off, Orlando scanned.That night he peopled for me the hollow wooded land,
More dark and wild than the stormiest heavens, that I searched and scannedThere shone the blue serene, the prosperous land,
Trees, cows and hedges; skipping these, he scannedThe last fond love-notes of some faithless hand;
Thus, with a transient interest, his weak grasp
Holds a few leaves as when of old he scannedYou took my heart in your hand
With a friendly smile,
With a critical eye you scanned,While his eye the letter scanned;
And his voice was choked and speechless,
As he dropped it from his hand.That of his mercy would this wretch withstand,
Nor let so vile a chest hold such a treasure,
As yet conjecture hath not fully scanned;That many countries we have scanned,
But never one that could compare
With our own island mother-land.Eagle eyed, you claim the world to have scanned,
Extemely not,thus by man you ought to be banned,
