Страница 49 - In peace, Love tunes the shepherd's reed; In war, he mounts the warrior's steed; In halls, in gay attire is seen; In hamlets, dances on the green. Love rules the court, the camp, the grove, And men below, and saints above ; For love is heaven, and heaven is love.
Страница xxiii - The intelligible forms of ancient poets, The fair humanities of old religion, The power, the beauty, and the majesty, That had their haunts in dale, or piny mountain, Or forest by slow stream, or pebbly spring, Or chasms and watery depths ; all these have vanished ; They live no longer in the faith of reason...
Страница xvii - Sweet ivy winde thy boughs, and intertwine With blushing roses and the clustering vine; Thus will thy lasting leaves, with beauties hung, Prove grateful emblems of the lays he sung, Whose soul, exalted like a god of wit, Among the Muses and the Graces writ.
Страница viii - And, fed of heavenly dew, the narcissus blooms morn by morn with fair clusters, crown of the Great Goddesses from of yore; and the crocus blooms with golden beam. Nor fail the sleepless founts whence the waters of Cephisus wander, but each day with stainless tide he moveth over the plains of the land's swelling bosom, for the giving of quick increase; nor hath the Muses' quire abhorred this place, nor Aphrodite of the golden rein.
Страница 6 - SENTINEL: That I come hither, king, nimble of foot, And breathless with my haste, I'll not profess: For many a doubtful halt upon the way, And many a wheel to the right-about, I had, Oft as my prating heart gave counsel, "Fool, What ails thee going into the lion's mouth?
Страница viii - Stranger, in this land of goodly steeds thou hast come to earth's fairest home, even to our white Colonus; where the nightingale, a constant guest, trills her clear note in the covert of green glades, dwe!ling amid the wine-dark ivy and the god's inviolate bowers, rich in berries and fruit, unvisited by sun, un vexed by wind of any storm; where the reveller Dionysus ever walks the ground, companion of the nymphs that nursed him.
Страница xxvii - Much he, whose friendship I not long since won That halting slave, who in Nicopolis Taught Arrian, when Vespasian's brutal son Clear'd Rome of what most shamed him. But be his My special thanks, whose even-balanced soul, From first youth tested up to extreme old age, Business could not make dull, nor passion wild ; Who saw life steadily, and saw it whole ; The mellow glory of the Attic stage, Singer of sweet Colonus, and its child.
Страница 12 - So it fell out. When I had gone from hence With thy loud threats yet sounding in my ears, We swept off all the dust that hid the limbs, And to the light stripped bare the clammy corpse, And on the hill's brow sat, and faced the wind, Choosing a spot clear of the body's stench. Roundly we chid each other to the work; 'No sleeping at your post there
Страница 5 - To wield alone the sceptre and the realm. There is no way to know of any man The spirit and the wisdom and the will, Till he stands proved, ruler and lawgiver. For who, with a whole city to direct, Yet cleaves not to those counsels that are best, But locks his lips in silence, being afraid, I held and hold him ever of men most base: And whoso greater than his country's cause . Esteems a friend, I count him nothing worth. For, Zeus who seeth all be witness now, Nor for the safety's sake would I keep...
Страница 13 - Nowise from Zeus, methought, this edict came, Nor Justice, that abides among the gods In Hades, who ordained these laws for men. Nor did I deem thine edicts of such force That they, a mortal's bidding, should o'erride Unwritten laws, eternal in the heavens. Not of to-day or yesterday are these, But live from everlasting, and from whence They sprang, none knoweth.
