ShriekingAbove the ocean; a bright wonder that Beulah shudder'd atNature *
Half Woman & half Spectre, all his lovely changing colours mix *
With her fair crystal clearness; in her lips & cheeks his poisons rose *
In blushes like the morning, and his scaly armour

A monster lovely in the heavens or wandering on the earth, *
With Spectre voice incessant waiting, in incessant thirst>

Au coeur d'un vieux faubourg, labyrinthe fangeux,
Ou l'humanite
grouille
en ferments orageux,
On voit un chiffonnier qui vient, hochant la tete,
Buttant, et se cognant aux murs comme un poete,
Et, sans prendre souci des mouchards, ses sujets,
Epanche tout son coeur en glorieux projets.

But, be it a hint of rose
That an instant hues her,
Or some early light or pose
Wherewith thought renews her--
Seen by him at full, ere woes
Practised
to abuse her--
Sparely comes it, swiftly goes,
Time again subdues her.

Far from

glory, will give it fuel;
And this honour will flow from willing death,
Your need for recompense ends with my breath.

drop of the storm,
Wrung from the roof, is smitten warm
And turned to gold;
For in its veins doth run
The very blood of the bold, unsullied sun!

While round the world the sun's bright car shall ride,
So bright shall shine thy name's
illustrious

Thy monarch's glory, as the moon's pale beam,
Eclips'd by thine, shall shed a sickly gleam.
