Florence
then returned a youth from France;
Where he had studied,--more than complaisance:
Well trained as any from that polished court;
To Fortune's favours anxious to resort;
Gallant and seeking ev'ry FAIR to please;
Each house, road, alley, soon he knew at ease;
The husbands, good or bad, their whims and years,
With ev'ry thing that moved their hopes or fears;
What sort of fuel best their females charmed;
What spies were kept by those who felt alarmed;
The if's, for's, to's, and ev'ry artful wile,
That might in love a confidant beguile,
Or nurse, or father-confessor, or dog;
When passion prompts, few obstacles can clog.

They make wine from grapes
They make fire from coal
They make men from kisses
It's the true law of men
Kept intact despite

despite danger of death
It's the warm law of men
To change water to light
Dream to reality
Enemies to friends

From the child's heart's depths
To reason's heights.

Over sea, over shore, where the cannons loudly roar,
He still was a
stranger
to fear;
And nocht could him quail, or his bosom assail,
But the bonie lass he lo'ed sae dear.

THROUGH the casement a noble-child saw
In the spring-time golden and green,
As he harked to the swallow's lore,
And looked so
rejoiced
and keen.

Before his gilded galiot ran naked vine-wreathed corybants,
And lines of swaying
elephants
knelt down to draw his chariot,
And lines of swarthy Nubians bare up his litter as he rode
Down the great granite-paven road between the nodding peacock-fans.

And if reluctantly the eyes resign
Their

Shakespeare |

But France got drunk with blood to vomit crime;[nz]
And fatal have her Saturnalia been[oa]
To Freedom's cause, in every age and clime;
Because the deadly days which we have seen,
And vile Ambition, that built up between
Man and his hopes an
adamantine
wall,
And the base pageant[477] last upon the scene,
Are grown the pretext for the eternal thrall
Which nips Life's tree, and dooms Man's worst--his second fall.
