She smiled at these, but shook her head and sighed
When eer she thought my look was turned aside;
Nor turned she round, as was her former way,
To praise the thorn, white over then with May;
Nor stooped once, though thousands round her grew,
To pull a cowslip as she used to do:
For Jane in flowers delighted from a child--
I like the garden, but she loved the wild--
And oft on Sundays young men's gifts declined,
Posies from gardens of the
sweetest
kind,
And eager scrambled the dog-rose to get,
And woodbine-flowers at every bush she met.

Red gloves a red mask
And dark stockings

Of seeing you quite naked
Nudity pure O ready finery
Breasts O my heart
Fertile Eyes
Fertile Eyes
No one can know me more
More than you know me
Your eyes in which we sleep
The two of them
Have cast a spell on my male orbs
Greater than worldly nights
Your eyes where I voyage
Have given the road-signs
Directions detached from the earth
In your eyes those that show us
Our

Is no more than they think exists
No one can know me more

And of the savage form,
Who brings out of her sturdy heart
The hero and the storm:
Who giveth freedom unto man,
And life unto the beast;

And where her chalets stand--
The proud, old archer of Altorf,
With his good bow in his hand.

Despite the
punishment
for insolence,
I had at first voted for lenience;
But since he abuses it, go, today,
Whether he resists or not, lock him away.

Brothers let us be.

Men from the sea
Might rise, and from the land the scaly breed,
And, fowl full fledged come
bursting
from the sky;
The horned cattle, the herds and all the wild
Would haunt with varying offspring tilth and waste;
Nor would the same fruits keep their olden trees,
But each might grow from any stock or limb
By chance and change.

-
O ill-starred maid, what frenzy caught thy soul
The
daughters
too of Proetus filled the fields
With their feigned lowings, yet no one of them
Of such unhallowed union e'er was fain
As with a beast to mate, though many a time
On her smooth forehead she had sought for horns,
And for her neck had feared the galling plough.

The roof was scarcely visible,
The cornice but a mound.

Love, from his retreat,
Ambushed

And I too well his ancient arrows know:
Crime, horror, folly.
