He saw them in thir forms of battell rang'd,
How quick they wheel'd, and flying behind them shot
Sharp sleet of arrowie showers against the face
Of thir pursuers, and overcame by flight;
The field all iron cast a gleaming brown,
Nor wanted clouds of foot, nor on each horn,
Cuirassiers all in steel for standing fight;
Chariots
or Elephants endorst with Towers
Of Archers, nor of labouring Pioners 330
A multitude with Spades and Axes arm'd
To lay hills plain, fell woods, or valleys fill,
Or where plain was raise hill, or over-lay
With bridges rivers proud, as with a yoke;
Mules after these, Camels and Dromedaries,
And Waggons fraught with Utensils of war.

To a Western Boy
Many things to absorb I teach to help you become eleve of mine;
Yet if blood like mine circle not in your veins,
If you be not
silently
selected by lovers and do not silently select lovers,
Of what use is it that you seek to become eleve of mine?

The birds around me hopp'd and play'd:
Their
thoughts
I cannot measure,
But the least motion which they made,
It seem'd a thrill of pleasure.

You must never think
I'm like the heartless men you wait on here,
Whose love is all a hunger that cares naught
How
hatefully
endured its feasting must be
By her who fills it, so it be well glutted!

in che lo stral di mia intenzion percuote;
e se al "surse" drizzi li occhi chiari,

ai regi, che son molti, e ' buon son rari.

II
I loved you:
men have writ and women have said
they loved,
but as the
Pythoness
stands by the altar,
intense and may not move;
till the fumes pass over;
and may not falter nor break,
till the priest has caught the words
that mar or make
a deme or a ravaged town;
so I, though my knees tremble,
my heart break,
must note the rumbling,
heed only the shuddering
down in the fissure beneath the rock
of the temple floor;
must wait and watch
and may not turn nor move,
nor break from my trance to speak
so slight, so sweet,
so simple a word as love.

The reminiscence comes
Of sunless dry geraniums
And dust in crevices,
Smells of chestnuts in the streets
And female smells in shuttered rooms
And cigarettes in corridors
And
cocktail
smells in bars.

The erlie nowe an horse and beaver han,
And nowe agayne appered on the feeld;
And manie a mickle knyghte and mightie manne
To his dethe-doyng swerd his life did yeeld;
When Siere de Broque an arrowe longe lett flie, 375
Intending

It miss'd; butt hytte Edardus on the eye,
And at his pole came out with horrid payne.
