Virgil - Eclogues |

And he of the swollen purple throat,
And the stark and staring eyes,
Waits for the holy hands that took
The Thief to Paradise;
And a broken and a
contrite
heart
The Lord will not despise.

The treasure of a fool is always in his tongue, said the witty comic
poet; {33c} and it appears not in anything more than in that nation,
whereof one, when he had got the inheritance of an unlucky old grange,
would needs sell it; {33d} and to draw buyers
proclaimed
the virtues of

Ben Jonson - Discoveries Made Upon Men, and Some Poems |
|
So out we went:--Jane's place was reckoned good,
Though she bout life but little understood,
And had a master wild as wild can be,
And far unfit for such a child as she;
And soon the whisper went about the town,
That Jane's good looks
procured
her many a gown
From him, whose promise was to every one,
But whose intention was to wive with none.

Crowded--can we believe,
not in utter disgust,
in
ironical
play--
but the maker of cities grew faint
with the beauty of temple
and space before temple,
arch upon perfect arch,
of pillars and corridors that led out
to strange court-yards and porches
where sun-light stamped
hyacinth-shadows
black on the pavement.
