Arrived to disturb my dreaming, softly
Leaning down to me, pure ivory teeth,
And offering me her

Her lips were kissing me, sweet and long,
Mouth on mouth, thigh on thigh beneath.

Opens the way for early flowers;
Then after her comes smiling May,
In a more rich and sweet array;
Next enters June, and brings us more
Gems than those two that went before;
Then, lastly, July comes, and she
More wealth brings in than all those three.

Then burst his mighty heart,
And, in his mantle
muffling
up his face,
Even at the base of Pompey's statue,
Which all the while ran blood, great Caesar fell.

Then one stood at the statue's base, and spoke--
Men needed not to ask what word;
Each in his breast the message heard,
Writ for him by Despair,
That evermore in moving phrase
Breathes from the
Invalides
and Pere Lachaise--
Vainly it seemed, alas!

Euripides - Alcestis |

Here Thetis' face is ruffled by
A gentle wind; the waters lie
Not in dead calm, but o'er the main
A peaceful
liveliness
doth reign,
Bearing gay yachts before a breeze
Cool as the air that floats with ease
From purple fan of damozel
Who would the summer heat dispel.

But had ye seen the philibegs,
And skyrin tartan trews, man;
When in the teeth they dar'd our Whigs,
And covenant True-blues, man:
In lines extended lang and large,
When baiginets o'erpower'd the targe,
And
thousands
hasten'd to the charge;
Wi' Highland wrath they frae the sheath
Drew blades o' death, till, out o' breath,
They fled like frighted dows, man!
