I had hoped to see
A scene of wondrous glory, as was told
Of some great God who in a rain of gold
Broke open bars and fell on Danae:
Or a dread vision as when Semele
Sickening for love and unappeased desire
Prayed to see God's clear body, and the fire
Caught her brown limbs and slew her utterly:
With such glad dreams I sought this holy place,
And now with wondering eyes and heart I stand
Before this supreme mystery of Love:
Some kneeling girl with
passionless
pale face,
An angel with a lily in his hand,
And over both the white wings of a Dove.

By her complying ways, and tidy habits,
Will easily
accustom

With her thy life-time--and, moreover, lo,
Long habitude can gender human love,
Even as an object smitten o'er and o'er

Is overcome and wavers.

Aquilant
thundered
still, and, to his dread,
A falchion, pointed at his gullet, shewed,
And swore with angry menaces, the head
From him and Origille should be hewed,
Save in all points the very truth be said.

the bairn of her body on brands to lay,

Tragic Fragment
All devil as I am--a damned wretch,
A hardened, stubborn, unrepenting villain,
Still my heart melts at human wretchedness;
And with sincere but unavailing sighs
I view the helpless children of distress:
With tears
indignant
I behold the oppressor
Rejoicing in the honest man's destruction,
Whose unsubmitting heart was all his crime.

With stems of cypress which disdain the knife;
Which shoot not, when by biting steel laid low.

They did what freemen can,
Their
dauntless
ways did all men praise,
The merchant was a man.
