The youth from dire mischance on whom it fell,

The dungeon, where the flowery paths decoy;
The painful, hard escape, with long annoy.

And thus the wise Immortal doeth,--
'T is his study and delight
To bless that
creature
day and night;
From all evils to defend her;
In her lap to pour all splendor;
To ransack earth for riches rare,
And fetch her stars to deck her hair:
He mixes music with her thoughts,
And saddens her with heavenly doubts:
All grace, all good his great heart knows,
Profuse in love, the king bestows,
Saying, 'Hearken!

VENUS ANADYOMENE
Comme d'un cercueil vert en fer-blanc, une tete
De femme a cheveux bruns
fortement
pommades
D'une vieille baignoire emerge, lente et bete,
Montrant des deficits assez mal ravaudes;
Puis le col gras et gris, les larges omoplates
Qui saillent; le dos court qui rentre et qui ressort.

While thus the Spirits of strongest wing enlighten the dark deep
The threads are spun & the cords twisted & drawn out; then the weak
Begin their work; & many a net is netted; many a net
PAGE 30
Spread & many a Spirit caught,
innumerable
the nets
Innumerable the gins & traps; & many a soothing flute
Is form'd & many a corded lyre, outspread over the immense
In cruel delight they trap the listeners, & in cruel delight
Bind them, [together] condensing the strong energies into little compass
Some became seed of every plant that shall be planted; some
The bulbous roots, thrown up together into barns & garners
Then rose the Builders: First the Architect divine his plan
Unfolds, The wondrous scaffold reard all round the infinite
Quadrangular the building rose the heavens squared by a line.
