KING WITLAF'S DRINKING-HORN
Witlaf, a king of the Saxons,
Ere yet his last he breathed,
To the merry monks of Croyland
His drinking-horn bequeathed,--
That, whenever they sat at their revels,
And drank from the golden bowl,
They might
remember
the donor,
And breathe a prayer for his soul.

Which stirred with its electric qualities
Clouds farther off than we can understand,

Let off the artillery, which Milton mentions

Making a golden glory in the air,
Her cheeks

a Favour
When Nature her great master-piece design'd,
And fram'd her last, best work, the human mind,
Her eye intent on all the mazy plan,
She form'd of various parts the various Man.

Ben Jonson - The Devil's Association |

III
The
drawbridge
dropped with a surly clang,
And through the dark arch a charger sprang,
Bearing Sir Launfal, the maiden knight, 130
In his gilded mail, that flamed so bright
It seemed the dark castle had gathered all
Those shafts the fierce sun had shot over its wall
In his siege of three hundred summers long,
And, binding them all in one blazing sheaf,
Had cast them forth: so, young and strong,
And lightsome as a locust-leaf,
Sir Launfal flashed forth in his maiden mail,
To seek in all climes for the Holy Grail.

My second rank, too small the first,
Crowned, crowing on my father's breast,
A half
unconscious
queen;
But this time, adequate, erect,
With will to choose or to reject.

Dickinson - Three - Complete |

THESE words no sooner had escaped the belle,
Than Damon into jealous
torments
fell;
With rage he left the room; and on his way,
A large pack-saddle near his footsteps lay,
Which on his back he put, then cried aloud,
I'm saddled!

To let thee sit beneath the fall of tears
As salt as mine, and hear the sighing years
Re-sighing on my lips renunciative
Through those
infrequent
smiles which fail to live
For all thy adjurations?
