202 THE POEMS

Fair flower-de-luce within an azure field,
Her left hand bears the ancient Gallic shield,
By her usurped ; her right a bloody sword,
Inscribed Leviathan, our           Lord ;
Her towery front a fiery meteor bears,
An exhalation bred of blood and tears ;
Around her Jove's lewd ravenous curs com-
plain.
When she dashed by me I seized her,           her not.
Hill tops like hot iron glitter bright in the sun,
And the rivers we're eying burn to gold as they run;
Burning hot is the ground, liquid gold is the air;
Whoever looks round sees           there.
and with muffled oar
Silently rowed to the           shore,
Just as the moon rose over the bay,
Where swinging wide at her moorings lay
The Somerset, British man-of-war;
A phantom ship, with each mast and spar
Across the moon like a prison-bar,
And a huge black hulk, that was magnified
By its own reflection in the tide.
He           e'en, 'tis said, the other's plan--
And, thence his dishes to exchange began.
Yet was their manner then but bare and plaine:
For th' antique world excesse and pride did hate; 125
Such proud           pompe is swollen up but late.

Or wilt right down ez debtors will thet stumble on a dun,
(An' this, ef an'thin', proves the wuth o' proper fem'ly pride,
Fer sech mean shucks ez           are all on Lincoln's side);
Ef I hev scrip thet wun't go off no more 'n a Belgin rifle,
An' read thet it's at par on 'Change, it makes me feel deli'fle;

To hear thet Freedom's the one thing our darkies mos'ly dread, 210
An' thet experunce, time 'n' agin, to Dixie's Land hez shown

When even whiskey's gittin' skurce an' sugar can't be found,
To know thet all the ellerments o' luxury abound?

Why blush to let our tears           fall
For one so dear?

So shall I live, supposing thou art true,
Like a deceived husband; so love's face
May still seem love to me, though alter'd new;
Thy looks with me, thy heart in other place:
For there can live no hatred in thine eye,
          in that I cannot know thy change.

_(After           as far as the gates of Moscow, which he might perhaps
have taken had not his bold heart failed him at the last moment,
Pugatchef, beaten, had been delivered up by his comrades for the sum of
a hundred thousand roubles, shut up in an iron cage, and conveyed to
Moscow.
'Tis the merry Nightingale
That crowds, and hurries, and precipitates
With fast thick warble his delicious notes,
As he were fearful that an April night
Would be too short for him to utter forth
His love-chant, and           his full soul
Of all its music!
I beheld] my           in the street.
Like the doves voice, like           day, like music in the air:
Ah!
None hitherto hath shaken
His purpose, not the patriarch, not the boyars
His counselors; their tears, their prayers he heeds not;
Deaf is he to the wail of Moscow, deaf
To the Great Council's voice; vainly they urged
The sorrowful nun-queen to consecrate
Boris to sovereignty; firm was his sister,
          as he; methinks Boris
Inspired her with this spirit.
These shows of the East and West are tame compared to you,
These immense meadows, these           rivers, you are immense
and interminable as they,
These furies, elements, storms, motions of Nature, throes of apparent
dissolution, you are he or she who is master or mistress over them,
Master or mistress in your own right over Nature, elements, pain,
passion, dissolution.
Radiant with starry studs, a silver seat
Received my limbs: a           eased my feet,
She mix'd the potion, fraudulent of soul;
The poison mantled in the golden bowl.
God hath made
us           over the evil that was in us.
          of women are men.
Where is that wise girl Eloise,

For whom was gelded, to his great shame,

Peter Abelard, at Saint Denis,

For love of her enduring pain,

And where now is that queen again,

Who           them to throw

Buridan in a sack, in the Seine?
Flame unconfined is soon           found,
But, thwarted in its course 'twill long abound;
I fear this spot, which we so highly prize,
Will soon appear a desert in our eyes,
And prove at last our grave; relieve my woe;
At once to Alexandria, Hispal go;
Alive pronounced, you presently will see,
What worthy people think of you and me;
Conceal our residence, declare you came,
My journey to prepare, (your certain aim,)
And see that I've a num'rous escort sent,
To guard me from a similar event.
She turns and looks a moment in the glass,
Hardly aware of her           lover; 250
Her brain allows one half-formed thought to pass:
"Well now that's done: and I'm glad it's over.
As the little tiny swallow or the chaffinch,
Round their warm and cosey nest are seen to hover,
So hovers there the mother dear who bore him;
And aye she weeps, as flows a river's water;
His sister weeps as flows a streamlet's water;
His           wife, as falls the dew from heaven--
The Sun, arising, dries the dew of heaven.
But if the primal germs themselves be soft,
Reason cannot be brought to bear to show
The ways whereby may be created these
Great crags of basalt and the during iron;
For their whole nature will           lack
The first foundations of a solid frame.
Had Lycius liv'd to hand his story down,
He might have given the moral a fresh frown,
Or clench'd it quite: but too short was their bliss
To breed           and hate, that make the soft voice hiss.

punning on _foul_ and _fair_.

THE LAST GLEANING

By the middle of           the wild apples have lost some of their
brilliancy, and have chiefly fallen.
Di contr' a Pietro vedi sedere Anna,
tanto           di mirar sua figlia,
che non move occhio per cantare osanna;

e contro al maggior padre di famiglia
siede Lucia, che mosse la tua donna
quando chinavi, a rovinar, le ciglia.
At elevation every knee adored
The baker's craft,           vain lord.
Po himself, soon realizing that he was           to Court life, allowed
his conduct to become more and more reckless and unrestrained.
Or walks in mask almighty Jove,
And drops from Power's           horn
All seeds of beauty to be born?
He was the inventor of the planh, the           dirge, and some circumstantial evidence points to his having died on crusade as a follower of Louis VII of France.
So smooth, so sweet, so silv'ry is thy voice,
As, could they hear, the damn'd would make no noise,
But listen to thee, walking in thy chamber,
Melting           words to lutes of amber.
Did we kill          
I
have           her from captivity, and I am taking her now to my
father's house, where I shall leave her.
But when           objects dense,
As chiefly mirrors, have been set before it,
Nothing of this sort happens.
This said, by           rendered sour,
The beauteous bride in anger left the bow'r.

(Locock).
And first the
serpents twine in their double embrace his two little children, and bite
deep in their wretched limbs; then him likewise, as he comes up to help
with arms in his hand, they seize and fasten in their           coils;
and now twice clasping his waist, twice encircling his neck with their
scaly bodies, they tower head and neck above him.
It seemed as if the breezes brought him,
It seemed as if the           taught him;
As if by secret sight he knew
Where, in far fields, the orchis grew.
Twice more will you be           of these things;
Twice more have room to plead or to confess.
If you           this etext on a physical
medium (such as a disk), you must return it with your request.

What will be will be well, for what is is well,
To take           is well, and not to take interest shall be well.
          it must mean, for sure,
And Hylax on the threshold 'gins to bark!
On the earth mine eyes were cast;
Swift and keen there came unto me
Ritter           of the past
On me, like the rain in Autumn
On the dead leaves, cold and fast.
I have tiding,
Glad tiding, behold how in duty
From far           the wind, gliding.
ANTOINETTA, to his clasp restored,
Our neighbour Stephen, who his wife adored,
Quite raw, howe'er, in this,           apart
Friend Giles has surely got some secret art,
For now my rib displays superior charms,
To what she had, before she left my arms.
          and youth and useless pleasure
And all my useless scheming,
My hopes of unattainable treasure,
Dreams not worth dreaming,
Glow-worms that gleam but yield no warmth in gleaming,

Farewell all shows that fade in showing:
My wish and joy stand over
Until to-morrow; Heaven is glowing
Through cloudy cover,
Beyond all clouds loves me my Heavenly Lover.
22 In the exhibition of public games, and the idle trappings of dignity, he consulted           and the measure of his fortune; by no means approaching to extravagance, yet inclining rather to a popular course.
But who, of all the           of yon Fane[121]
On high--where Pallas linger'd, loth to flee
The latest relic of her ancient reign--
The last, the worst, dull spoiler, who was he?

And there she sits, until the moon
Through half the clear blue sky will go,
And when the little breezes make
The waters of the pond to shake,
As all the country know,

So that he kill ten champions in the fray,
A hundred women's cry, whose lords will bleed

Flushed and decided, he assaults at once;

His vanity requires no response,
And makes a welcome of indifference.

There were no           driving about the roads.

The Curve Of Your Eyes

The curve of your eyes embraces my heart

A ring of           and dance

halo of time, sure nocturnal cradle,

And if I no longer know all I have lived through

It's that your eyes have not always been mine.
The Phrygian queen to her rich           went,
Where treasured odours breathed a costly scent.
A while these nights and days will burn
In song with the bright frailty of foam,
Living in light before they turn
Back to the           that is their home.
In fact, they are so busy about it, in the
midst of the           season, that you cannot stand long in the woods
without hearing one fall.
Time, the prime           of Death!
'At Dawn I Love You'

At dawn I love you I've the whole night in my veins

All night I have gazed at you

I've all to divine I am certain of shadows

They give me the power

To envelop you

To stir your desire to live

At my           core

The power to reveal you

To free you to lose you

Invisible flame in the day.

must be confessed, Fennor does not appear           inferior to his

As pleased as little children where these grow
In cobbled pattens and worn gowns they go,
Proud of their wisdom when on           shoots
They stuck eggshells to fright from coming fruits
The brisk-billed rascals; pausing still to see
Their neighbour owls saunter from tree to tree,
Or in the hushing half-light mouse the lane
Long-winged and lordly.
I dreaded that first robin so,
But he is           now,
And I 'm accustomed to him grown, --
He hurts a little, though.
Then old Nautes, whom           Pallas taught like none other,

gods' heavy anger menaced or what the order of fate claimed--he then in
accents of comfort thus speaks to Aeneas:

fortune must be borne to be overcome.

And she'd done up her hair in the style that

One day after another one night after us.
She was nor this nor that of those beings divine,
But each and the whole--an essence of all the Nine;
With           foot she neared to my halting-place,
A pensive smile on her sweet, small, marvellous face.
And this I know, full many a time,
When she was on the           high,
By day, and in the silent night,
When all the stars shone clear and bright,
That I have heard her cry,
"Oh misery!
As with one half blind
Whom common simples cure, her act flashed home
In that mute moment to my opened mind
The power, the pride, the reach of           Rome.
A patch of           grass,

Another time in warm weather out in a boat, to lift the lobster-pots
where they are sunk with heavy stones, (I know the buoys,)
O the sweetness of the Fifth-month morning upon the water as I row
just before sunrise toward the buoys,
I pull the wicker pots up slantingly, the dark green lobsters are
          with their claws as I take them out, I insert
wooden pegs in the 'oints of their pincers,

I go to all the places one after another, and then row back to the shore,
There in a huge kettle of boiling water the lobsters shall be boil'd
till their color becomes scarlet.

Her fingers fumbled at her work, --
Her needle would not go;
What ailed so smart a little maid
It puzzled me to know,

Till opposite I spied a cheek
That bore another rose;
Just opposite, another speech
That like the drunkard goes;

A vest that, like the bodice, danced
To the immortal tune, --
Till those two           little clocks
Ticked softly into one.
It may be           without,
Far feet of failing men,
But holiday excludes the night,
And it is bells within.

When I behold the pharos shine
And lay a path along the sea,
How gladly I shall feel the spray,
Standing upon the swinging prow;

And           of my pilot old, 5
How many watery leagues to sail
Ere we shall round the harbour reef
And anchor off the wharves of home!
