Would that I might possess the Thracian lyre,
To wake from Hades, and their idle pose,
Those old Caesars, and the shades of those,
Who once raised this ancient city higher:
Or that I had Amphion's to inspire,
And with sweet harmony these stones enclose
To quicken them again, where they once rose,
Ausonian glory conjuring from its pyre:
Or that with skilful pencil I might draw
The
portrait
of these palaces once more,
With the spirit of some high Virgil filled;
I would attempt, inflamed by my ardour,
To recreate with the pen's slight power,
That which our own hands could never build.

let the rich deride, the proud disdain,
The simple
pleasure
of the lowly train;
To me more dear, congenial to my heart,
One native charm, than all the gloss of art.

Chairman, as both of us know,
With the impromptu I promised you three weeks ago,
Dragged up to my doom by your might and my mane,
To do what I vowed I'd do never again:
And I feel like your good honest dough when possest
By a stirring,
impertinent
devil of yeast.

To fullest flower since I first knew thee,
My walk unconscious pride and power assumes;
Who art thou then--thou who

You shall love all that loves me and that I love: clouds, and silence,
and night; the vast green sea; the
unformed
and multitudinous waters;
the place where you are not; the lover you will never know; monstrous
flowers, and perfumes that bring madness; cats that stretch themselves
swooning upon the piano and lament with the sweet, hoarse voices of
women.

Be dumb when Heaven
