Leo Augustus on a swelling height,
Seeing his followers fly, hath taken post;
Where woeful and bewildered (for to sight
Nothing in all the country round is lost)
He from his lofty station eyes the knight,
Who with his single arm
destroys
that host;
And cannot choose, though so his prowess harms,
But praise that peer and own his worth in arms.

That folded are, the greater part, in three;
And they lace on good helms Sarragucese;
Gird on their swords of tried steel Viennese;
Fine shields they have, and spears Valentinese,

They've left their mules behind, and their palfreys,
Their chargers mount, and canter knee by knee.

He lay as one who lies and dreams
In a pleasant meadow-land,
The
watchers
watched him as he slept,
And could not understand
How one could sleep so sweet a sleep
With a hangman close at hand.

Those that we bury, backe; our Monuments
Shall be the Mawes of Kytes

On the Eastern Way at the city of Lo-yang
At the edge of the road peach-trees and plum-trees grow;
On the two sides,--flower matched by flower;
Across the road,--leaf
touching
leaf.

These delicates he heap'd with glowing hand
On golden dishes and in baskets bright
Of
wreathed
silver: sumptuous they stand
In the retired quiet of the night,
Filling the chilly room with perfume light.

Nor is need the least
For wives to use the motions of blandishment;
For thus the woman hinders and resists
Her own conception, if too joyously
Herself she treats the Venus of the man
With haunches heaving, and with all her bosom
Now yielding like the billows of the sea--
Aye, from the ploughshare's even course and track
She throws the furrow, and from proper places
Deflects
the spurt of seed.

_The Mother_
The only fault my husband found with me--
I went to sleep before I went to bed,
Especially
in winter when the bed
Might just as well be ice and the clothes snow.

Not with scarfs or perfumed gloves
Do these celebrate their loves:
Not by jewels, feasts and savors,
Not by ribbons or by favors,
But by the sun-spark on the sea,
And the cloud-shadow on the lea,
The
soothing
lapse of morn to mirk,
And the cheerful round of work.

Oscar Wilde - Poetry |
|
But Destiny, untangling this chaos,
In which all good and evil once were lost,
Has since ensured the
heavenly
virtues,
Flying skywards, left the vices behind,
Which, till this day, remain here confined,
Concealed within these ruined avenues.
