That this upon Frontino's crupper made
The helmet and the shell of iron smite,
In which that Saracen his limbs arrayed;
And he, three times or four, to left and right,

And would have lost withal his trusty brand,
But that the hilt was fastened to his hand.

Baudelaire - Fleurs Du Mal |

"
Lured with the promised boon, when
youthful
prime
Ended in man, his mother's natal clime
Ulysses sought; with fond affection dear
Amphitea's arms received the royal heir:
Her ancient lord an equal joy possess'd;
Instant he bade prepare the genial feast:
A steer to form the sumptuous banquet bled,
Whose stately growth five flowery summers fed:
His sons divide, and roast with artful care
The limbs; then all the tasteful viands share.

Besides, herself of own accord, she first
The shining grains and vineyards of all joy
Created for mortality; herself
Gave the sweet fruitage and the pastures glad,
Which now to-day yet
scarcely
wax in size,
Even when aided by our toiling arms.

Prithee, either return me my ten thousand sesterces, Silo; then be to thy

On stormy seas and far away;
Nightly dreams, and
