A SINGLE blow he patiently endured;
The second, howsoe'er, his patience cured;
The third was more severe, and each was worse;
The punishment he now began to curse;
Two lusty wights, with cudgels thrashed his back
And regularly gave him thwack and thwack;
He cried, he roared, for grace he begged his lord,
Who marked each blow, and would no ease accord;
But carefully observed, from time to time,
That lenity he always thought sublime;
His gravity preserved; considered too
The blows
received
and what continued due.

FABIEN DEI FRANCHI
TO MY FRIEND HENRY IRVING
THE silent room, the heavy creeping shade,
The dead that travel fast, the opening door,
The
murdered
brother rising through the floor,
The ghost's white fingers on thy shoulders laid,
And then the lonely duel in the glade,
The broken swords, the stifled scream, the gore,
Thy grand revengeful eyes when all is o'er,--
These things are well enough,--but thou wert made
For more august creation!

If to be the thrall
Of love, and faith too
generous
to defend
Its very life from him she loved, be sin,
What hope of grace may the seducer win?
