But, for his theft, in pride of all his growth
A vengeful canker eat him up to death.

(They sleeping each by either) the new sun
Beat through the blindless

And heated the strong warrior in his dreams;
Who, moving, cast the coverlet aside,
And bared the knotted column of his throat,

As slopes a wild brook o'er a little stone,
Running too vehemently to break upon it.

Yet these he
promises
as soon as clean :
But how I loathed to see my neighbour glean
Those papers, which he peeled from within
Like white flakes rising from a leper's skin !

perpetual

Are renovated and withered by the dews and frosts:

Waley - 170 Chinese Poems |
|
Hast heard of this wild man who laughs at laws--
Charged with a thousand crimes--for warlike deeds
Renowned--and placed under the Empire's ban
By the Diet of Frankfort; by the Council
Of Pisa
banished
from the Holy Church;
Reprobate, isolated, cursed--yet still
Unconquered 'mid his mountains and in will;
The bitter foe of the Count Palatine
And Treves' proud archbishop; who has spurned
For sixty years the ladder which the Empire
Upreared to scale his walls?
