A CAMEO, by                    
First Line: A frigate born to fulsome sail
Last Line: But from the soul and senses never.
Subject(s): Memory


A frigate born to fulsome sail,
Hath struck across the dying sun;
Sharp, pattern'd on the orange glow,
A cameo of rarest blow,
An argosy of glory, so!
A scene which from the sight must die,
But from the soul and senses never.
