Euripides - Alcestis |

Leopards, tigers, play
Round her as she lay;
While the lion old
Bowed his mane of gold,
And her bosom lick,
And upon her neck,
From his eyes of flame,
Ruby tears there came;
While the lioness
Loosed her slender dress,
And naked they conveyed
To caves the
sleeping
maid.

Blake - Songs of Innocence, Songs of Experience |

And strange it was to see him pass
With a step so light and gay,
And strange it was to see him look
So
wistfully
at the day,
And strange it was to think that he
Had such a debt to pay.

Wilde - Poems |

Cyriack, whose grandsire on the royal bench
Of British Themis, with no mean applause
Pronounced, and in his volumes taught, our laws,
Which others at their bar so often wrench;
To-day deep thoughts resolve with me to drench
In mirth, that after no repenting draws;
Let Euclid rest and
Archimedes
pause,
And what the Swede intends, and what the French.

High the vanes of
Shrewsbury
gleam
Islanded in Severn stream;
The bridges from the steepled crest
Cross the water east and west.
