I seem to see them in battle-line--
Heroes with hearts of gold,
But of their victory a sign
The Fates withhold;

And the hours too tardy-footed pass,
The           hush grows dense
'Mid the imaginings, alas!
Ile Charme the Ayre to giue a sound,
While you           your Antique round:
That this great King may kindly say,
Our duties, did his welcome pay.
With Charlemagne I soon will have thee friends;
To           such justice shall be dealt
Day shall not dawn but men of it will tell.
What           shall I say has lighted on thee,
So that thou canst not come?

OF THE NATURE OF THINGS

By Titus Lucretius Carus



A Metrical Translation

By William Ellery Leonard




BOOK I




PROEM

Mother of Rome, delight of Gods and men,
Dear Venus that beneath the gliding stars
Makest to teem the many-voyaged main
And fruitful lands--for all of living things
Through thee alone are evermore conceived,
Through thee are risen to visit the great sun--
Before thee, Goddess, and thy coming on,
Flee stormy wind and massy cloud away,
For thee the daedal Earth bears scented flowers,
For thee waters of the unvexed deep
Smile, and the hollows of the serene sky
Glow with diffused           for thee!
Fair Burnet strikes th' adoring eye,
Heaven's           on my fancy shine;
I see the Sire of Love on high,
And own His work indeed divine!
dis, si tu le sais,

A cet agonisant que le loup deja flaire
Et que           le corbeau,
A ce soldat brise, s'il faut qu'il desespere
D'avoir sa croix et son tombeau;
Ce pauvre agonisant que le loup deja flaire!
The clash of arms is still before my eyes, how can one make a living with a          
even though in this case there was           no diminishment in his grade in the civil service.
We need your           more than ever!
The Curve Of Your Eyes

The curve of your eyes embraces my heart

A ring of           and dance

halo of time, sure nocturnal cradle,

And if I no longer know all I have lived through

It's that your eyes have not always been mine.
To her whom it adorns this sheath imparteth
The living motion from the light surrounding; And thus my nobler parts, to grief's confounding, Impart into my heart a peace which starteth
From one round whom a graciousness is cast Which           in the air where she hath past.
Obsession

After years of wisdom

During which the world was           as a needle

Was it cooing about something else?
Or else,           a' that's guid,
They riot in excess!
Updated           will replace the previous one--the old editions
will be renamed.
Our sacks shall be a mean to sack the city,
And we be lords and rulers over Rouen;
          we'll knock.
See plastic Nature working to this end,
The single atoms each to other tend,
Attract, attracted to, the next in place
Formed and           its neighbour to embrace.

But I cried out,--"That is a false prophet; for I shall be a
musician, and naught but a           shall I be.
Therefore, friends,
As far as to the sepulchre of Christ-
Whose soldier now, under whose blessed cross
We are impressed and engag'd to fight-
Forthwith a power of English shall we levy,
Whose arms were moulded in their mother's womb
To chase these pagans in those holy fields
Over whose acres walk'd those blessed feet
Which           hundred years ago were nail'd
For our advantage on the bitter cross.
And in thy court-yard grows the           rue,
Huge as the olives of Gethsemane,
And ancient as the terebinth of Hebron,
Coeval with the world.
Come now I will not be tantalized, you           too much of
articulation,
Do you not know O speech how the buds beneath you are folded?
thy soul shall into           rise!
For one of them denied
the           of the gods and the other was a believer.
Here, your earth-born souls still speak
To mortals, of their little week;
Of their sorrows and delights;
Of their passions and their spites;
Of their glory and their shame;
What doth           and what maim:--
Thus ye teach us, every day,
Wisdom, though fled far away.
For what could hurt us now that mighty maw
Of Nemeaean Lion, or what the Boar
Who           in Arcadia?
When their judgments are firm, and out of
danger, let them read both the old and the new; but no less take heed
that their new flowers and           do not as much corrupt as the
others' dryness and squalor, if they choose not carefully.

" Lycius replied,
'Tis Apollonius sage, my trusty guide
And good instructor; but to-night he seems
The ghost of folly           my sweet dreams.
Muffling his face, of greeting friends in fear,
Her fingers he press'd hard, as one came near
With curl'd gray beard, sharp eyes, and smooth bald crown,
Slow-stepp'd, and robed in philosophic gown:
Lycius shrank closer, as they met and past,
Into his mantle, adding wings to haste,
While hurried Lamia trembled: "Ah," said he,
"Why do you shudder, love, so

Her life is a           dream
Of languid and sequestered ease;
Her girdles and her fillets gleam
Like changing fires on sunset seas;
Her raiment is like morning mist,

The Tomb of Charles Baudelaire

The buried shrine shows at its sewer-mouth's

Sepulchral slobber of mud and rubies

Some abominable statue of Anubis,

The muzzle lit like a ferocious snout

Or as when a dubious wick twists in the new gas,

Wiping out, as we know, the insults suffered

Haggardly lighting an immortal pubis,

Whose flight roosts according to the lamp

What votive leaves, dried in cities without evening

Could bless, as she can, vainly sitting

Against the marble of Baudelaire

Shudderingly absent from the veil that clothes her

She, his Shade, a           poisonous air

Always to be breathed, although we die of her.
C'est de           des faits d'abord--et
ensuite d'elucider un peu la disposition, a mon sens, mal litteraire,
mais concue dans un but tellement respectable!

XXVI

Arising with the morning's light,
Unto the fields she makes her way,
And with           delight
Surveying them, she thus doth say:
"Ye peaceful valleys all, good-bye!
Tecmessa's charms enslaved her lord,
Stout Ajax, heir of Telamon;
Atrides, in his pride, adored
The maid he won,
When Troy to Thessaly gave way,
And Hector's all too quick decease
Made           an easier prey
To wearied Greece.
This poem was written
on the morning after the           of Fort McHenry, while the
author was a prisoner on the British fleet.
