CXLIII
Lo, as a careful
housewife
runs to catch
One of her feather'd creatures broke away,
Sets down her babe, and makes all swift dispatch
In pursuit of the thing she would have stay;
Whilst her neglected child holds her in chase,
Cries to catch her whose busy care is bent
To follow that which flies before her face,
Not prizing her poor infant's discontent;
So runn'st thou after that which flies from thee,
Whilst I thy babe chase thee afar behind;
But if thou catch thy hope, turn back to me,
And play the mother's part, kiss me, be kind;
So will I pray that thou mayst have thy 'Will,'
If thou turn back and my loud crying still.

Corneille - Le Cid |

Ravish'd, she lifted her Circean head,
Blush'd a live damask, and swift-lisping said,
"I was a woman, let me have once more
A woman's shape, and
charming
as before.

nec sumit aut ponit securis
arbitrio popularis aurae:

coetusque uolgaris et udam
spernit humum
fugiente
penna.

Is all we have to chear our wintry way,
Condemn'd, in mists and

ever rife,
To pant slow up the endless Alp of life.

Iliad - Pope |
|
With oar-strokes timing to their song,
They weave in simple lays
The pathos of remembered wrong,
The hope of better days,--
The triumph-note that Miriam sung,
The joy of uncaged birds:
Softening
with Afric's mellow tongue
Their broken Saxon words.
