With green and purple sea-weeds strown;
I see the waves upon the shore
Like light dissolved in star-showers thrown;
I sit upon the sands alone;

Is flashing round me, and a tone
Arises from its measured motion--
How sweet!

He who, in evil times,
Warned by an inward voice,
Heeds not the

Biding by his rule and choice,
Feeling only the fiery thread
Leading over heroic ground,
Walled with mortal terror round,
To the aim which him allures,
And the sweet heaven his deed secures.

Amid the wild wood's lone and difficult ways,
Where travel at great risk e'en men in arms,
I pass secure--for only me alarms
That sun, which darts of living love the rays--
Singing fond thoughts in simple lays to her
Whom time and space so little hide from me;
E'en here her form, nor hers alone, I see,
But maids and matrons in each beech and fir:
Methinks
I hear her when the bird's soft moan,
The sighing leaves I hear, or through the dell
Where its bright lapse some murmuring rill pursues.

And him that on his brain such cure had wrought,
He
wondering
marked, but word he spake to none;
And when and how he was brought thither, thought.

sed metus in uita poenarum pro male factis
est
insignibus
insignis, scelerisque luella,
carcer et horribilis de saxo iactu' deorsum,
uerbera, carnifices, robur, pix, lammina, taedae;
quae tamen etsi absunt, at mens sibi conscia factis
praemetuens adhibet stimulos terretque flagellis,
nec uidet interea qui terminus esse malorum
possit nec quae sit poenarum denique finis,
atque eadem metuit magis haec ne in morte grauescant.

Madame, each day this same wish you express;
And when she's here, I hear you ask, each day,
How far her love has
travelled
on its way.

Time brings to us at last, as night the stars,
The starry silence of eternity:
For there is no
discharge
in our long wars,
Nor balm for wounds, nor love's security.

"--This clamant word
Broke through the careful silence; for they heard
A
rustling
noise of leaves, and out there flutter'd
Pigeons and doves: Adonis something mutter'd,
The while one hand, that erst upon his thigh
Lay dormant, mov'd convuls'd and gradually 500
Up to his forehead.
