But let me quit man's works, again to read
His Maker's spread around me, and suspend
This page, which from my

I feed,
Until it seems prolonging without end.

Byron - Childe Harold's Pilgrimage |
|
Since I am thine, oh come, but with that face
To inward light which thou art wont to show;
With
feignèd
solace ease a true-felt woe;
Or if, deaf god, thou do deny that grace,
Come as thou wilt, and that thou wilt bequeath,--
I long to kiss the image of my death.

Oxford Book of Latin Verse |

I have seen eyes in the street
Trying to peer through lighted shutters,
And a crab one
afternoon
in a pool,
An old crab with barnacles on his back,
Gripped the end of a stick which I held him.

Wordsworth - 1 |

Then Asia yeaned her
shepherd
race,
And Nile substructs her granite base,--
Tented Tartary, columned Nile,--
And, under vines, on rocky isle,
Or on wind-blown sea-marge bleak,
Forward stepped the perfect Greek:
That wit and joy might find a tongue,
And earth grow civil, HOMER sung.

Pushkin - Eugene Oneigin |

So upon Easter day
Sailed the three kings away,
Out of the
sheltered
bay,
In the bright season;
With them Earl Sigvald came,
Eager for spoil and fame;
Pity that such a name
Stooped to such treason!

Chanson de Roland |

Sur le lit, le tronc nu sans
scrupule
etale
Dans le plus complet abandon
La secrete splendeur et la beaute fatale
Dont la nature lui fit don;
Un bas rosatre, orne de coins d'or, a la jambe
Comme un souvenir est reste;
La jarretiere, ainsi qu'un oeil secret qui flambe,
Darde un regard diamante.
