Spoilt all her silver mail, and golden brede;
Made gloom of all her frecklings, streaks and bars,
Eclips'd her crescents, and lick'd up her stars:
So that, in moments few, she was undrest
Of all her sapphires, greens, and amethyst,

To you, the richest folk this side of death,

And while his last, last ember died of cold,
And while the mortal ice i' the air made free
Of all his bones and bit and shrunk his heart,
And while soft Luxury made show to strike
Her gloved hands together and to smile
What time her weary feet unconsciously
Trode wheels that lifted Avarice to power,

Within the village whence she sent him forth
Into the town to make his name and fame,
Waiting, all

Till he should make for her his name and fame,
Waiting -- O Christ, how keen this cuts!

Stories and jests from field and town and port,
And odd neglected scraps of history
From everywhere, for you were of the sort,
Cool and refined, who like rough company:
Carter and barmaid, hawker and bargee,
Wise
pensioners
and boxers
With whom you drank, and listened
To legends of old revelry and sport
And customs of the sea.

A holier name; and, under such a mask,
To lead a Spirit, spotless as the blessed,
To that

Who turns e'en my sad life to his

Wilde - Poems |

How long I stayed alone
With the corpse I never knew,
For I fainted dead as stone:
When I came to life once more
I was down upon the floor,
With
neighbours
making ado
To bring me back to life.

Though some part of the traffic with many countries
resemble Solomon's importation of apes and peacocks; though the
superfluities of life, the baubles of the opulent, and even the luxuries
which enervate the irresolute and
administer

the intercourse of navigation, yet the extent of the benefits which
attend it are also to be considered before the man of cool reason will
venture to pronounce that the world is injured, and rendered less
virtuous and happy by the increase of commerce.
