And while the muse now stoops, or now ascends,
To man's low passions, or their
glorious
ends,
Teach me, like thee, in various nature wise,
To fall with dignity, with temper rise;
Formed by thy converse, happily to steer
From grave to gay, from lively to severe;
Correct with spirit, eloquent with ease,
Intent to reason, or polite to please.

in the orient when the gracious light
Lifts up his burning head, each under eye
Doth homage to his new-appearing sight,
Serving with looks his sacred majesty;
And having climb'd the steep-up
heavenly
hill,
Resembling strong youth in his middle age,
Yet mortal looks adore his beauty still,
Attending on his golden pilgrimage:
But when from highmost pitch, with weary car,
Like feeble age, he reeleth from the day,
The eyes, 'fore duteous, now converted are
From his low tract, and look another way:
So thou, thyself outgoing in thy noon:
Unlook'd, on diest unless thou get a son.

To land they came (from perils thought released;)
At Joppa they debarked; two days remained:

By these were met our spark and lovely fair;
New dangers they, alas!

Lascelles Abercrombie - Emblems of Love |

By her glad Lycius sitting, in chief place,
Scarce saw in all the room another face,
Till,
checking
his love trance, a cup he took
Full brimm'd, and opposite sent forth a look
'Cross the broad table, to beseech a glance
From his old teacher's wrinkled countenance,
And pledge him.

They melt, and soon must vanish;
One hour is theirs, nor more is mine--
Sad

Ne l'ora, credo, che de l'oriente
prima raggio nel monte Citerea,
che di foco d'amor par sempre ardente,
giovane e bella in sogno mi parea
donna vedere andar per una landa
cogliendo
fiori; e cantando dicea:
<
ch'i' mi son Lia, e vo movendo intorno
le belle mani a farmi una ghirlanda.

American Poetry - 1922 - A Miscellany |

Like resurrection were the
garments
white
The wreathed procession walked through trees arched wide
Into the church, as cool as silk inside,
With long aisles of tall candles flaming bright:
The lights all shone like jewels rich and rare
To solemn eyes that watched them gleam and flare.
