THE BOHEMIAN HYMN
In many forms we try
To utter God's infinity,
But the
boundless
hath no form,
And the Universal Friend
Doth as far transcend
An angel as a worm.

MELIBOEUS TITYRUS
MELIBOEUS
You, Tityrus, 'neath a broad beech-canopy
Reclining, on the slender oat rehearse
Your silvan ditties: I from my sweet fields,
And home's
familiar
bounds, even now depart.

Les Amours de Cassandre: XCIV
Whether her golden hair curls languidly,
Or whether it swims by, in two flowing waves
That over her breasts wander there, and stray,
And across her neck float playfully:
Whether a knot, ornamented richly,
With many a ruby, many a rounded pearl,
Ties the stream of her
rippling
curls,
My heart delights itself, contentedly.

You remember,--or
If not, your son does,--that the locks were changed
Beneath _his_ chief inspection on the morn
Which led to this same night: how he had entered
He best knows--but within an antechamber, 330
The door of which was half ajar, I saw
A man who washed his bloody hands, and oft
With stern and anxious glance gazed back upon--
The
bleeding
body--but it moved no more.

If you are willing to pledge me your heart, lover,
I'll offer mine: and so we will grasp entire
All the
pleasures
of life, and no strange desire
Will make my spirit prisoner to another.
