Not once have I thus
Broken accord,
Order ignored,
Unless I'm floored,
Too low to grace
Her lovely body's dwelling place;
So I fear
slanderers

Who cause ladies and lovers dismay,
Lower us, and drive all joy away,
And each and every way harm me.

Twenty Years
Down on the ancient wharf, the sand, I sit, with a new-comer chatting:
He shipp'd as green-hand boy, and sail'd away, (took some sudden,
vehement notion;)
Since, twenty years and more have circled round and round,
While he the globe was
circling
round and round, --and now returns:
How changed the place--all the old land-marks gone--the parents dead;
(Yes, he comes back to lay in port for good--to settle--has a
well-fill'd purse--no spot will do but this;)
The little boat that scull'd him from the sloop, now held in leash I see,
I hear the slapping waves, the restless keel, the rocking in the sand,
I see the sailor kit, the canvas bag, the great box bound with brass,
I scan the face all berry-brown and bearded--the stout-strong frame,
Dress'd in its russet suit of good Scotch cloth:
(Then what the told-out story of those twenty years?

(who never felt 200
That wish till now) though I detest them all,
To appear before the suitors, in whose ears
I will admonish, for his good, my son,
Not to
associate
with that lawless crew
Too much, who speak him fair, but foul intend.

The scrip, with needments, for the mountain air;
And all ye gentle girls who foster up
Udderless

Racine - Phaedra |

Down the long dusky line
Teeth gleam and eyeballs shine;
And the bright bayonet,
Bristling
and firmly set,
Flashed with a purpose grand,
Long ere the sharp command
Of the fierce rolling drum
Told them their time had come,
Told them what work was sent
For the black regiment.
