The chosen of her quiver; nor for her
Will every reed suffice, or cross-grained stick
At random from life's vulgar fagot plucked:
Such answer household ends; but she will have
Souls straight and clear, of toughest fibre, sound 80
Down to the heart of heart; from these she strips
All needless stuff, all sapwood; seasons them;
From
circumstance
untoward feathers plucks
Crumpled and cheap; and barbs with iron will:
The hour that passes is her quiver-boy:
When she draws bow, 'tis not across the wind,
Nor 'gainst the sun her haste-snatched arrow sings,
For sun and wind have plighted faith to her:
Ere men have heard the sinew twang, behold
In the butt's heart her trembling messenger!

I glow;
Yet find, whene'er myself I seek to know,
Amidst the fire a frosty chill come on.

I love the burning odors
This glowing region gives;
And, round each gilded lattice,
The trembling,
wreathing
leaves;
And, 'neath the bending palm-tree,
The gayly gushing spring;
And on the snow-white minaret,
The stork with snowier wing.

The sun at noon to higher air,
Unharnessing
the silver Pair
That late before his chariot swam,
Rides on the gold wool of the Ram.

You know how justice moves, with what slowness,
How often the crime fails to meet redress;
That slow and doubtful course
provokes
more tears.
