We thank you, maiden;
But may not be so credulous of cure,
When our most learned doctors leave us, and
The congregated college have concluded
That labouring art can never ransom nature
From her inaidable estate-I say we must not
So stain our judgment, or corrupt our hope,
To prostitute our past-cure malady
To empirics; or to
dissever
so
Our great self and our credit to esteem
A senseless help, when help past sense we deem.

All these with ceasless praise his works behold
Both day and night: how often from the steep 680
Of echoing Hill or Thicket have we heard
Celestial voices to the midnight air,

Singing thir great Creator: oft in bands
While they keep watch, or nightly rounding walk
With Heav'nly touch of

Impatient

Where's my smooth brow gone:
My arching lashes, yellow hair,
Wide-eyed glances, pretty ones,
That took in the cleverest there:
Nose not too big or small: a pair
Of
delicate
little ears, the chin
Dimpled: a face oval and fair,
Lovely lips with crimson skin?

Must in their turn to tyrants fall,
Whilst thou shalt

The dread and envy of them all.

TEMPORE SENECTUTIS OR we are old
And the earth passion dieth;
We have watched him die a
thousand
times, When he wanes an old wind crieth,
For we are old
And passion hath died for us a thousand times
But we grew never weary.

Mallarme - Poems |

call not me to justify the wrong
That thy
unkindness
lays upon my heart;
Wound me not with thine eye, but with thy tongue:
Use power with power, and slay me not by art,
Tell me thou lov'st elsewhere; but in my sight,
Dear heart, forbear to glance thine eye aside:
What need'st thou wound with cunning, when thy might
Is more than my o'erpress'd defence can bide?

Always the dark fingers weaving Out of the smoke of my sinning Curtains to shut me from God.
