To The Sole Concern
To the sole task of voyaging
Beyond an India dark and splendid
- Goes time's messenger, this greeting,
Cape that your stern has doubled
As on some low yard plunging
Along with the vessel riding
Skimmed in constant frolicking
A bird bringing fresh tidings
That without the helm flickering
Shrieked in pure monotones
An utterly useless bearing
Night, despair, and
precious
stones
Reflected by its singing so
To the smile of pale Vasco.

XV
When I consider every thing that grows
Holds in perfection but a little moment,
That this huge stage presenteth nought but shows
Whereon the stars in secret influence comment;
When I perceive that men as plants increase,
Cheered and checked even by the self-same sky,
Vaunt in their youthful sap, at height decrease,
And wear their brave state out of memory;
Then the conceit of this inconstant stay
Sets you most rich in youth before my sight,
Where wasteful Time
debateth
with decay
To change your day of youth to sullied night,
And all in war with Time for love of you,
As he takes from you, I engraft you new.

He ceas'd, and next him Moloc, Scepter'd King
Stood up, the strongest and the fiercest Spirit
That fought in Heav'n; now fiercer by despair:
His trust was with th' Eternal to be deem'd
Equal in strength, and rather then be less
Car'd not to be at all; with that care lost
Went all his fear: of God, or Hell, or worse
He reckd not, and these words
thereafter

The shaft breaks off, Oliver stays upright;
That other goes, naught stays him in his flight,

Quand la terre est changee en un cachot humide,
Ou l'Esperance, comme une chauve-souris,
S'en va battant les murs de son aile timide
Et se cognant la tete a des plafonds pourris;
Quand la pluie etalant ses immenses trainees
D'une vaste prison imite les barreaux,
Et qu'un peuple muet d'infames araignees
Vient tendre ses filets au fond de nos cerveaux,
Des cloches tout a coup sautent avec furie
Et lancent vers le ciel un affreux hurlement,
Ainsi que des esprits errants et sans patrie
Qui se mettent a geindre opiniatrement.

As we pass the summer stream without danger
That floods in winter, king of all the plain,
Rendering farmers' hopes and shepherds' vain,
In his proud flight, sinking fields in water:
As we see coward creatures at the slaughter
Outrage the dead lion after his brave reign,
Staining their jaws, revealing their disdain,
Daring their enemy bereft of power:
And as the least valiant Greeks at Troy
With brave Hector's corpse were wont to toy,
So those whose heads once used to bow,
When to Roman triumph they were drawn,
On dusty tombs exact their
vengeance
now,
The conquered daring the conqueror's scorn.

For out of wo in blisse now they flete;
Non swich they felten, sith they were born;
Now is this bet, than bothe two be lorn!

The spots and struggles of the timid Dawn;
Lest so we tempt the

Noon to scorn
The mists and painted vapours of our Morn.

Was she a matron of Cornelia's mien,
Or the light air of Egypt's graceful queen,
Profuse of joy; or 'gainst it did she war,
Inveterate

An' morning poussie whiddin seen,
Inspire my muse,
This freedom, in an unknown frien',

In this manner he spoke:
"It is not the first day this, that to the Roman People I have approved
my faith and adherence: from the moment I was by the deified Augustus
presented with the freedom of the city, I have continued by your
interest to choose my friends, by your interest to denominate my
enemies; from no hate of mine to my native country (for odious are
traitors even to the party they embrace), but because the same measures
were equally
conducing
to the benefit of the Romans and of the Germans;
and I was rather for peace than war.

Waley - 170 Chinese Poems |

In every cry of every man,
In every infant's cry of fear,
In every voice, in every ban,
The mind-forged manacles I hear:
How the chimney-sweeper's cry
Every
blackening
church appals,
And the hapless soldier's sigh
Runs in blood down palace-walls.
