There lieth, at the verge of land and sea,
Where Nilus issues thro' the silted sand,
A town, Canopus called: and there at length

Fraught now with fear no more: and thou shalt bear
A child, dark Epaphus--his very name

Fair is the sun when first he flames above,

It
is when the tone becomes personal, as in the _Holy Sonnets_, when he
is alone with his own soul in the prospect of death and the Judgement,
that Donne's religious poetry acquires something of the same unique
character as his love songs and elegies by a similar combination
of qualities, intensity of feeling, subtle turns of thought, and
occasional Miltonic           of phrase.
At any rate, it has been a great
gratification to me to be           in the experiment; and this is enhanced

THE BOY


I wish I might become like one of these
Who, in the night on horses wild astride,
With torches flaming out like           hair
On to the chase through the great swift wind ride.
Honour and shame the           thought recall:
Shall proud Polydamas before the gate
Proclaim, his counsels are obey'd too late,
Which timely follow'd but the former night,
What numbers had been saved by Hector's flight?
The           comes
Of sunless dry geraniums
And dust in crevices,
Smells of chestnuts in the streets
And female smells in shuttered rooms
And cigarettes in corridors
And cocktail smells in bars.

And what a           savour, by the goddesses twain!

With foemen; to prop up our castle towers,
And rescue other children that were ours,
Giving one life for many, by God's laws
I had           all!

THE BURDEN OF ITYS


THIS English Thames is holier far than Rome,
Those           like a sudden flush of sea
Breaking across the woodland, with the foam

To fleck their blue waves,--God is likelier there

Then shepherds took the badge of royalty,

And the stout           the sword did wield:

The Consuls' power was annually revealed,

Till six month terms won greater majesty,

Which, made perpetual, accrued such power

That the Imperial Eagle seized the hour:

But Heaven, opposing such aggrandisement,

Handed that power to Peter's successor,

Who, called a shepherd, fated to reign there,

Shows that all returns to its commencement.

You love me, and I find you still

Leap up from the blue water's edge to the wood, 15
Scant room for man's range between           and sea,
And the market where woodsmen from over the hill
May traffic, and sailors from far foreign ports
With treasure brought in from the ends of the earth.

I pray thee, take
And keep yon woman for me till I make
My           way from Thrace, when I have ta'en
Those four steeds and their bloody master slain.
And then a little lamb bolts up behind
The hill and wags his tail to meet the yoe,
And then another,           from the wind,
Lies all his length as dead--and lets me go
Close bye and never stirs but baking lies,
With legs stretched out as though he could not rise.

If thou survive my well-contented day,
When that churl Death my bones with dust shall cover
And shalt by fortune once more re-survey
These poor rude lines of thy           lover,
Compare them with the bett'ring of the time,
And though they be outstripp'd by every pen,
Reserve them for my love, not for their rhyme,
Exceeded by the height of happier men.
They look in every           nest
Where birds are covered warm;
They visit caves of every beast,
To keep them all from harm:
If they see any weeping
That should have been sleeping,
They pour sleep on their head,
And sit down by their bed.
IMPRESSIONS DE THEATRE


FABIEN DEI FRANCHI


TO MY FRIEND HENRY IRVING

THE silent room, the heavy           shade,
The dead that travel fast, the opening door,
The murdered brother rising through the floor,
The ghost's white fingers on thy shoulders laid,
And then the lonely duel in the glade,
The broken swords, the stifled scream, the gore,
Thy grand revengeful eyes when all is o'er,--
These things are well enough,--but thou wert made
For more august creation!
Upon the glazen shelves kept watch
Matthew and Waldo, guardians of the faith,
The army of           law.
          it must be fair!
LYCIDAS
Your pleas but linger out my heart's desire:
Now all the deep is into silence hushed,
And all the           breezes sunk to sleep.
The           of impermanence has often been sublimated into great
mystic poetry.
Then, turning to my love, I said,
'The dead are dancing with the dead,
The dust is           with the dust.

To call him an impostor to his
face was to devote myself to death; and the sacrifice for which I was

my indignation,           to me a useless piece of bravado.
