Poets, including Hafiz, who are (with the exception of Firdausi) the

Nor Neptune ever bathed a better shore:
About the midst a beauteous hill, with store
Of shades and
pleasing
smells, so fresh a spring
As drowns all manly thoughts: this place doth bring
Venus much joy; 't was given her deity,
Ere blind man knew a truer god than she:
Of which original it yet retains
Too much, so little goodness there remains,
That it the vicious doth only please,
Is by the virtuous shunn'd as a disease.

Cold as a bubbling well; let faint-lipp'd shells,

Through all their labyrinths; and let the maid

The 'potamus can never reach
The mango on the mango-tree;
But fruits of
pomegranate
and peach
Refresh the Church from over sea.

For this I say, nor shall the threat be vain;
If God vouchsafe to me to overcome
The haughty suitors, when I shall inflict 610
Death on the other women of my house,
Although
my nurse, thyself shalt also die.

Was ours, save, sometime, freer breath
For friend or brother
strangely

'Scaped from the drear domain of death.

Matthews - Poems of American Patriotism |

Close bosom-friend of the
maturing
sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eaves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease;
For Summer has o'erbrimm'd their clammy cells.

When the Emperour had made his whole vengeance,
He called to him the Bishops out of France,
Those of Baviere and also the Germans:
"A dame free-born lies captive in my hands,
So oft she's heard sermons and reprimands,
She would fear God, and
christening
demands.
