A white swan is the blackest crow I've known:
Who thinks he's power to help me, does me harm:
Lies, truth, to me are all one under the sun:
I
remember
all, have the wisdom of a stone,
Welcomed gladly, and spurned by everyone.

Ulysses lives, thy own Ulysses reigns:
That stranger, patient of the suitors' wrongs,
And the rude license of ungovern'd
tongues!

Thomas Chatterton - Rowley Poems |

She hailed him there in his pride,
Home from the
perilous
years,
In the heart of his walled lands,
In the Giants' cloud-capt ring;
Herself, none other, laid
The hone to the axe's blade;
She lifted it in her hands,
The woman, and slew her king.
