If yet not wasted quite--
So frail a thing before so fierce a flame--
'Tis not from my own strength that safety came,
But that some fear gives might,
Freezing

To my poor heart better to bear the strife.

Are not more icy than these arms; the staves

Scaled gauntlet fingers look like worms that shine,

Dolphins, playing in the sea
Hurling his ink at skies above,
Medusas, miserable heads
In your pools, and in your ponds,
The female of the Halcyon,
Do I know where your ennui's from, Sirens,
Dove, both love and spirit
In spreading out his fan, this bird,
My poor heart's an owl
Yes, I'll pass fearful shadows
This
cherubim
sings the praises

I'll send it on to someone new,
Who'll send it on towards Anjou,

So its counter-key from his casket he'll
Send, by and by.

Troubador Verse |

The gentle Beings of the hearth and home;
The lovely Dryads of her aisled woods;
The Angels that do dwell in solitudes
Where she dwelleth; and joyous Spirits that roam
To bless her bleating flocks and
fruitful
lands;
Are gather'd there to weep, and kiss her dying hands.

In the region of the sun

The clouds

Thee Dacians fierce, and
Scythian
hordes,
Peoples and towns, and Koine, their head,
And mothers of barbarian lords,
And tyrants in their purple dread,
Lest, spurn'd by thee in scorn, should fall
The state's tall prop, lest crowds on fire
To arms, to arms!
