And fellow-countrymen have stood aloof--
In aught that tries the heart how few withstand the proof!

Your eyes in which we sleep
The two of them
Have cast a spell on my male orbs
Greater than worldly nights
Your eyes where I voyage

The morning slowly wasted, not a morsel had we tasted,
And our heads were almost splitting with the cannons'
deafening thrill,
When a figure tall and stately round the rampart strode sedately;
It was PRESCOTT, one since told me; he
commanded
on the hill.

By all of all men's hopes and fears,
And all the wonders poets sing,
The laughter of unclouded years,
And every sad and lovely thing:
By the
romantic
ages stored
With high endeavour that was his,
By all his mad catastrophes,
Make me a man, O Lord.

day and every change of public passion whispered itself into rhyme or
quaint saying.

Or Hatim Tai cry Supper--heed them not.

Nectar ran
In courteous
fountains
to all cups outreach'd;
And plunder'd vines, teeming exhaustless, pleach'd
New growth about each shell and pendent lyre;
The which, in disentangling for their fire,
Pull'd down fresh foliage and coverture
For dainty toying.
