courier sent by Prince Potemkin to the Empress drove so
fast that his sword,
projecting
from the vehicle, rattled
against the verst-posts as if against a palisade!

That time resumes,
One thinks of all the hands
That are raising dingy shades
In a thousand

Then from far off a winged vessel came,
Swift as a swallow, subtle as a flame:
I know not what it bore of freight or host, 40
But white it was as an

Like music heard in dreams,
Like strains of harps unknown,
Of birds forever flown
Audible as the voice of streams
That murmur in some leafy dell,
I hear thy gentlest tone,
And Silence cometh with her spell
Like that which on my tongue doth dwell,
When
tremulous
in dreams I tell
My love to thee alone!

Tho was I war of
Plesaunce

And of Aray, and Lust, and Curtesye;
And of the Craft that can and hath the might 220
To doon by force a wight to do folye--
Disfigurat was she, I nil not lye;
And by him-self, under an oke, I gesse,
Sawe I Delyt, that stood with Gentilnesse.

Disfigure man, till beauty all depart.
