Whither that soul knows well that followeth"--

I spied that Ethiopian's dusky charms,
Which woke in Perseus' bosom Love's alarms;
And next was he who for a shadow burn'd,
Which the deceitful watery glass return'd;
Enamour'd of himself, in sad decay--
Amid abundance, poor--he look'd his life away;
And now transform'd through passion's baneful power,
He o'er the margin hangs, a drooping flower;
While, by her
hopeless
love congeal'd to stone,
His mistress seems to look in silence on;
Then he that loved, by too severe a fate,
The cruel maid who met his love with hate,
Pass'd by; with many more who met their doom
By female pride, and fill'd an early tomb.

A little round well opened to my

With water clear and brown.

For I would make each day an Alp sublime
Of passionate snow, white-hot yet icy-clear,
-- One crystal of the true-loves of all time
Spiring the world's prismatic atmosphere;
And I would make each night an awful vale
Deep as thy soul, obscure as modesty,
With every star in heaven trembling pale
O'er sweet

THE SONG OF PRINCESS ZEB-UN-NISSA
IN PRAISE OF HER OWN BEAUTY

When from my cheek I lift my veil,
The roses turn with envy pale,
And from their pierced hearts, rich with pain,
Send forth their
fragrance
like a wail.

On an old ribbed and weather beaten horse,
The farmer goes jogtrotting to the fair.

Per non
soffrire
a la virtu che vole
freno a suo prode, quell' uom che non nacque,
dannando se, danno tutta sua prole;
onde l'umana specie inferma giacque
giu per secoli molti in grande errore,
fin ch'al Verbo di Dio discender piacque
u' la natura, che dal suo fattore
s'era allungata, uni a se in persona
con l'atto sol del suo etterno amore.
