In wondrous arts than woman more renown'd,

And then the mass

They had forgot to draw, and surged upon
The centre where the maiden stood with sound
Of multitudes of blessings, and Lord Raoul

With virtuous nephews, its posterity

So that, holding all power in its hand,
No end to empire would Rome understand:
And though Republics Time might consume,

That some head raised from the ancient tomb,
To speak her name, might be deemed to have lied.

Adam Davy's Five Dreams about Edward II - 1389 |
|
135
XVI
No swinging sign-board creaked from cottage elm
To stay his steps with faintness overcome;
'Twas dark and void as ocean's watery realm
Roaring with storms beneath night's starless gloom;
No gipsy cower'd o'er fire of furze or broom; 140
No labourer watched his red kiln glaring bright,
Nor taper glimmered dim from sick man's room;
Along the waste no line of mournful light
From lamp of lonely toll-gate
streamed
athwart the night.

THE LITTLE GIRL LOST
In futurity
I prophesy
That the earth from sleep
(Grave the
sentence
deep)
Shall arise, and seek
For her Maker meek;
And the desert wild
Become a garden mild.

Twice I have moulded an image,
And thrice
outstretched
my hand,
Made one of day and one of night
And one of the salt sea-sand.

I have a rendezvous with Death
At some
disputed
barricade,
When Spring comes back with rustling shade
And apple-blossoms fill the air--
I have a rendezvous with Death
When Spring brings back blue days and fair.

Horace - Odes, Carmen |

Oro e argento fine, cocco e biacca,
indaco, legno lucido e sereno,
fresco smeraldo in l'ora che si fiacca,
da l'erba e da li fior, dentr' a quel seno
posti, ciascun saria di color vinto,
come dal suo
maggiore
e vinto il meno.
