. Poems from the works of Charles Cotton; newly decorated by Claud Lovat Fraser . 27. Evening Quatrains THE Days grown old, the fainting SunHas but a little way to run,And yet his Steeds, with all his skill,Scarce lug the Chariot down the Hill. With Labour spent, and Thirst they strain hard to gain the West,From Fetlocks hot drops melted light,Which turn to Meteors in the Night. The Shadows now so long do grow,That Brambles like tall Cedars seem Mountains, and the AntAppears a monstrous Elephant.
