The Sun is in the Lion mounted high,
The Syrian star
Barks from afar,
And with his sultry breath infects the sky;
The ground below is parched, the heavens above us fry;
The
shepherd
drives his fainting flock
Beneath the covert of a rock
And seeks refreshing rivulets nigh.

How beautiful it is to wake at night,
Embalmed in darkness watchful, sweet, and still,
As is the brain's mood flattered by the swim
Of currents circumvolvent in the void,
To lie quite still and to become aware
Of the dim light cast by nocturnal skies
On a dim earth beyond the window-ledge,
So, isolate from the friendly company
Of the huge
universe
which turns without,
To brood apart in calm and joy awhile
Until the spirit sinks and scarcely knows
Whether self is, or if self only is,
For ever.

Who joyful in the bright light of day
Created all that

Whose dusty ruin now greets our visit:
Speak, spirits (since that shadowy limit
Of Stygian shore that ensures your stay,
Enclosing you in thrice threefold array,
Sight of your dark images, may permit),
Tell me, now (since it may be one of you,
Here above, may yet be hid from view)
Do you not feel a greater depth of pain,
When from hour to hour in Roman lands
You contemplate the work of your hands,
Reduced to nothing but a dusty plain?

Seeing nothing that's low or base,
Except a people, born our reverse,
As though
nourished
on the hills,
Who serve me worse than frost and ice,
For each one with his tongue can sting,
And murmurs evilly and whistles.

And veils those eyes that late so brightly shone,

Petrarch - Poems |

Ulysses, in return, on him bestowed
A spear and sword, pledges of future love
And hospitality; but never more 40
They met each other at the
friendly
board,
For, ere that hour arrived, the son of Jove
Slew his own guest, the godlike Iphitus.
