Hang in the heavy, motionless, fly-filled air,
Twining among the tree-stumps, falling where,
They cradle the

The wild monkeys, spiders with yellow hair.

Exactly as the rain-filled cloud is seen
Lifting earthly vapours through the air,
Forming a bow, and then drinking there
By plunging deep in Tethys' hoary sheen,
Next, climbing again where it has been,
With
bellying
shadow darkening everywhere,
Till finally it bursts in lightning glare,
And rain, or snow, or hail shrouds the scene:
This city, that was once a shepherd's field,
Rising by degrees, such power did wield,
She made herself the queen of sea and land,
Till helpless to sustain that huge excess,
Her power dispersed, so we might understand
That all, one day, must come to nothingness.

When merchants from th' Exchange return in peace,
And the long labours of the toilet cease,
The board's with cups and spoons, alternate, crowned,
The berries crackle, and the mill turns round; 90

our country's hope and glory,
I'll tell thee all the truth, without a falsehood:
Thou must know that I had comrades, four in number;
Of my comrades four the first was gloomy midnight;
The second was a steely dudgeon dagger;
The third it was a swift and speedy courser;
The fourth of my
companions
was a bent bow;
My messengers were furnace-harden'd arrows.

Pushkin - Talisman |

"But the good monk, in
cloistered
cell,
Shall gain it by his book and bell,
His prayers and tears;
And the brave knight, whose arm endures
Fierce battle, and against the Moors
His standard rears.

Corneille - Le Cid |

O, Civil Fury, you alone are the cause,
In Macedonian fields sowing new wars,
Arming Pompey against Caesar there,
So that
achieving
the rich crown of all,
Roman grandeur, prospering everywhere,
Might tumble down in more disastrous fall.

An' now, ye chosen Five-and-Forty,
May still your mither's heart support ye,
Then, though a

An' kick your place,
Ye'll snap your fingers, poor an' hearty,
Before his face.

There came a day - at Summer's full -
Entirely for me -
I thought that such were for the Saints -
Where Resurrections - be -
The sun - as common - went abroad -
The flowers - accustomed - blew,
As if no soul - that solstice passed -
Which maketh all things - new -
The time was scarce
profaned
- by speech -
The falling of a word
Was needless - as at Sacrament -
The _Wardrobe_ - of our Lord!
