Adam Davy's Five Dreams about Edward II - 1389 |
|
I know her worth so certainly
That I can no way turn elsewhere;
Which simply makes my poor heart brood,
When sun sets or rises swiftly:
I dare not say who inflames me;
My heart burns me
But my eyes are fed surely,
To
contemplate
| will sate,
That alone can ease me:
What keeps me alive, now see!

Archipiades
to be Hipparchia (see Diogenes Laertius, Lives of the Philosophers, Book VI 96-98) who loved Crates the Theban Cynic philosopher (368/5-288/5BC) and of whom various tales are told suggesting her beauty, and independence of mind.

The sea, all water, yet receives rain still,
And in
abundance
addeth to his store;
So thou, being rich in 'Will,' add to thy 'Will'
One will of mine, to make thy large will more.

And much as Wine has play'd the Infidel,
And robb'd me of my Robe of Honour--well,
I often wonder what the Vintners buy
One half so
precious
as the Goods they sell.

Omar Khayyam - Rubaiyat |
|
I never cared to play
With the village boys and girls;
And I think they thought me proud,
I found so little to say
And kept so from the crowd:
But I had the longest curls,
And I had the largest eyes,
And my teeth were small like pearls;
The girls might flout and scout me,
But the boys would hang about me
In
sheepish
mooning wise.
