She whom both Pyrrhus and Libyan Mars
Found no way to tame, this proud city,
That with a courage forged in adversity,
Sustained the shock of endless wars,
Though her ship, plagued at the source
By great waves, felt the world's enmity,
None ever saw the reefs of adversity
Wreak havoc on her fortunate course:
But, the object of her virtue failing,
Her power opposed its own flailing,
Like the voyager whom a cruel gale
Has long since separated from the shore,
Driven now by the storm's wild roar,
And
shipwrecked
there, when all efforts fail.

Li Bai - Chinese |

But than these wonderfully greater,
Judith, art thou;
The praise of both shall follow like a shadow
After thy glory now,
Who alone the
measureless
striding,
The high ungovern'd brow,
Of Assur upon the hills of the world
Hast tript and sent him hugely sliding,
Like a shot beast, down from his towering,
By his own lamed
Mightiness hurl'd
To lie a filth in disaster.

Lascelles Abercrombie - Emblems of Love |

Came Astoreth, whom the
Phoenicians
call'd
Astarte, Queen of Heav'n, with crescent Horns;
To whose bright Image nightly by the Moon 440
Sidonian Virgins paid their Vows and Songs,
In Sion also not unsung, where stood
Her Temple on th' offensive Mountain, built
By that uxorious King, whose heart though large,
Beguil'd by fair Idolatresses, fell
To Idols foul.
