Love planted there, as in its home, to dwell
A Laurel, green and bright, whose hues might well
In rivalry with proudest emeralds stand:
Plough'd by my pen and by my heart-sighs fann'd,
Cool'd by the soft rain from mine eyes that fell,
It grew in grace, upbreathing a sweet smell,
Unparallel'd in any age or land.

On to the skin of a violin
A singing man a single bird
An agile dancer with his wife
A couple

The gold of the grass lead of the sky
Separated by azure flames
Of the health-giving dew
The blood glitters the heart rings

A face with lunar lips
That never slept at night.

When the cockerel so tardily calls the day,
When night to the

soul seems years through:
I would have died of misery if not for you,
In shadowy form, coming to ease my fate,
Utterly naked in my arms, to lie and wait,

Would that I might possess the Thracian lyre,
To wake from Hades, and their idle pose,
Those old Caesars, and the shades of those,
Who once raised this ancient city higher:
Or that I had Amphion's to inspire,
And with sweet harmony these stones enclose
To quicken them again, where they once rose,
Ausonian glory conjuring from its pyre:
Or that with skilful pencil I might draw
The portrait of these palaces once more,
With the spirit of some high Virgil filled;
I would attempt,
inflamed
by my ardour,
To recreate with the pen's slight power,
That which our own hands could never build.

Alcinous, then, (for in the dance they pass'd
All others) call'd his sons to dance alone,
Halius and Laodamas; they gave
The purple ball into their hands, the work
Exact of Polybus; one, re-supine,
Upcast it high toward the dusky clouds,
The other,
springing
into air, with ease 460
Received it, ere he sank to earth again.

Vous n'allez pas baver, sans geste, sans parole,
Dans vos verres, les yeux perdus aux lointains blancs,
Avalez, pour la Reine aux fesses cascadantes!

But we immortal in our strength survive by stern debate
Till we have drawn the Lamb of god into a mortal form
And that he must be born is certain for One must be All
And comprehend within himself all things both small & great
We therefore for whose sake all things aspire to be be & live
Will so recieve the Divine Image that amongst the Reprobate
He may be devoted to
Destruction
from his mothers womb {This group of 9 lines, "Refusing.

As o'er the fresh grass her fair form its sweet
And
graceful
passage makes at evening hours,
Seems as around the newly-wakening flowers
Found virtue issue from her delicate feet.

Come, fill the Cup, and in the fire of Spring
Your Winter garment of
Repentance
fling:
The Bird of Time has but a little way
To flutter--and the Bird is on the Wing.
