Daring all,

Swept o'er earth's polluted face,

In the garner of his foe,
And the milk-white oxen slow _220

Heaped upon the

That the brutal Celt may swill
Drunken sleep with savage will;
And the sickle to the sword _225

Overgrows this region's foison,
Sheaves of whom are ripe to come

Should have some rest and pleasure in himself,
Not ever be too curious for a boon,
Too prurient for a proof against the grain

Being but ampler means to serve mankind,
Should have small rest or pleasure in herself,
But work as vassal to the larger love,
That dwarfs the petty love of one to one.

lethargy,
The patient angel waiting for a place
In the new Heavens,--because nor sin nor woe,
Nor God's infliction, nor death's neighbourhood,
Nor all which others viewing, turn to go,
Nor all which makes me tired of all, self-viewed,--
Nothing repels thee, .

XVIII
And all that he by right or wrong could find,
Unto this house he brought, and did bestow 155
Upon the
daughter
of this woman blind,
Abessa, daughter of Corceca slow,
With whom he whoredome usd, that few did know,
And fed her fat with feast of offerings,
And plentie, which in all the land did grow; 160
Ne spared he to give her gold and rings:
And now he to her brought part of his stolen things.

Waley - 170 Chinese Poems |

Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,
And
sweetest
in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

VI
There was a time when, though my path was rough,
This joy within me dallied with distress,
And all
misfortunes
were but as the stuff
Whence Fancy made me dreams of happiness:
For hope grew round me, like the twining vine,
And fruits, and foliage, not my own, seemed mine.

Porches untrod of forest houses
All before him, all day long,
"Yankee Doodle" his
marching
song;
And the evening breeze
Joined his psalms of praise
As he sang the ways
Of the Ancient of Days.

Milton |

the wreathed green
Disparted, and far upward could be seen
Blue heaven, and a silver car, air-borne,
Whose silent wheels, fresh wet from clouds of morn,
Spun off a drizzling dew,--which falling chill 521
On soft Adonis' shoulders, made him still
Nestle and turn
uneasily
about.

Then a damp gust
Bringing rain
Ganga was sunken, and the limp leaves
Waited for rain, while the black clouds
Gathered
