And much as Wine has play'd the Infidel,
And robb'd me of my Robe of Honor--Well,
I wonder often what the Vintners buy
One half so
precious
as the stuff they sell.

Pope - Essay on Man |

Here, as of old, your neighbour's
bordering
hedge,
That feasts with willow-flower the Hybla bees,
Shall oft with gentle murmur lull to sleep,
While the leaf-dresser beneath some tall rock
Uplifts his song, nor cease their cooings hoarse
The wood-pigeons that are your heart's delight,
Nor doves their moaning in the elm-tree top.

CXXX
The moat of thirty feet, not less, he cleared,
As dexterously as leaps the
greyhound
fleet,
Nor at his lighting louder noise was heard
Than if he had worn felt beneath his feet.

of all his company Aeneas enters; and disembarking on the

Virgil - Aeneid |
|
O memory, take and keep
All that my eyes, your servants, bring you home--
Those other days beneath the low white dome
Of smooth-spread clouds that creep
As slow and soft as sleep,
When shade grows pale and the cypress stands upright,
Distinct in the cool light,
Rigid and solid as a dark hewn stone;
And many another night,
That melts in
darkness
on the narrow quays,
And changes every colour and every tone,
And soothes the waters to a softer ease,
When under constellations coldly bright
The homeward sailors sing their way to bed
On ships that motionless in harbour float.
