The cheerful lab'rer hastens to the field;
When to the fleet, with many a

The monarch sails; the natives crowd the shore;
Their various robes in one bright splendour join,
The purple blazes, and the gold stripes shine;
Nor as stern warriors with the quiv'ring lance,
Or moon-arch'd bow, Melinda's sons advance;
Green boughs of palm with joyful hands they wave,
An omen of the meed that crowns the brave:
Fair was the show the royal barge display'd,
With many a flag of glist'ning silk array'd,
Whose various hues, as waving thro' the bay,
Return'd the lustre of the rising day:
And, onward as they came, in sov'reign state
The mighty king amid his princes sat:
His robes the pomp of Eastern splendour show,
A proud tiara decks his lordly brow:
The various tissue shines in every fold,
The silken lustre and the rays of gold.

As one unskill'd or dumb, he seem'd to stand,
Nor raised his head, nor stretch'd his
sceptred
hand;
But, when he speaks, what elocution flows!

Beowulf, translated by Francis Gummere |
|
This silver bowl, whose costly margins shine
Enchased with old, this valued gift be thine;
To me this present, of Vulcanian frame,
From Sidon's
hospitable
monarch came;
To thee we now consign the precious load,
The pride of kings, and labour of a god.

Baudelaire - Poems and Prose Poems |

I knew not this, and therefore did I weep:
That God would love a Worm I knew, and punish the evil foot
That wilful bruis'd its helpless form: but that he cherish'd it
With milk and oil I never knew, and therefore did I weep,
And I
complaind
in the mild air, because I fade away.
