Leaving me in the colder world; 10

From the kitchen, both good and evil knaves;
Then Guenes beard and both his cheeks they shaved,
And four blows each with their closed fists they gave,
They trounced him well with cudgels and with staves,
And on his neck they clasped an iron chain;
So like a bear

On a pack-mule they set him in his shame:
Kept him till Charles should call for him again.

Ah, thou, the model where old Troy did stand;
Thou map of honour, thou King Richard's tomb,
And not King Richard; thou most

Why should hard-favour'd grief be lodg'd in thee,
When triumph is become an alehouse guest?

Her soft arms were

Her voice I hung like fruit among green leaves:
Her lips were all my own, and--ah, ripe sheaves
Of happiness!

In uproar and riot rejoice the night long;
From envy or hatred your corps is exempt,
But where is your shield from the darts of

Comes with its shafts of golden light and flings
Them at the windows in a radiant shower,
And rain drops beat the panes like timorous wings.

With a step so light and gay,
And strange it was to see him look
So

And strange it was to think that he
Had such a debt to pay.
