Blossoms with the Day
Woke--and a thousand scatter'd into Clay:
And this first Summer Month that brings the Rose
Shall take Jamshyd and Kaikobad away.

The tresses with which I'm taken.

Racine - Phaedra |

Quali si stanno ruminando manse
le capre, state rapide e proterve
sovra le cime avante che sien pranse,
tacite a l'ombra, mentre che 'l sol ferve,
guardate dal pastor, che 'n su la verga
poggiato
s'e e lor di posa serve;
e quale il mandrian che fori alberga,
lungo il pecuglio suo queto pernotta,
guardando perche fiera non lo sperga;
tali eravamo tutti e tre allotta,
io come capra, ed ei come pastori,
fasciati quinci e quindi d'alta grotta.
