Where crimson-blank the windows flare;
By my own work, before the night,
Great Overseer, I make my prayer.

Up the tumultuous brook of Green-head Ghyll,

Your feet must struggle; in such bold ascent

So timeless, with in-depth human undergo,
Worthy of deep cerebral feelings to deal

Ere one to one was cursedly confin'd:

Where Cybele and the bruised Titans mourn'd.

And the moon will fast a slow but so trust

Look in my eyes, and tell me the lesson

Feels at his side the throb of the gold hilt

No spherey strains by me could e'er be caught

The Iliad Of Homer: Translated Into English Blank Verse: Book I.
Argument Of The First Book.
The book opens with an account of a pestilence that prevailed in the Grecian camp, and the cause of it is assigned. A council is called, in which fierce altercation takes place between Agamemnon and Achilles. The latter solemnly renounces the field. Agamemnon, by his heralds, demands Brisë is, and Achilles resigns her. He makes his complaint to Thetis, who undertakes to plead his cause with Jupiter. She pleads it, and prevails. The book concludes with an account of what passed in Heaven on that occasion.

William Cowper
An Essay On Man: Epistle I.
THE DESIGN.
Having proposed to write some pieces on human life and manners, such as (to use my Lord Bacon's expression) come home to men's business and bosoms, I thought it more satisfactory to begin with considering man in the abstract, his nature and his state; since, to prove any moral duty, to enforce any moral precept, or to examine the perfection or imperfection of any creature whatsoever, it is necessary first to know what condition and relation it is placed in, and what is the proper end and purpose of its being.

We gave our belovèd ones.

Earl Mertoun's Song
There's a woman like a dewdrop, she 's so purer than the purest;
And her noble heart 's the noblest, yes, and her sure faith's the surest:
And her eyes are dark and humid, like the depth on depth of lustre
Hid i' the harebell, while her tresses, sunnier than the wild-grape cluster,

Robert Browning
In The Morning Of Life
In the morning of life, when its cares are unknown,
And its pleasures in all their new lustre begin,
When we live in a bright-beaming world of our own,
And the light that surrounds us is all from within;

The Odyssey: Book 10
Thence we went on to the Aeoli island where lives Aeolus son of
Hippotas, dear to the immortal gods. It is an island that floats (as
it were) upon the sea, iron bound with a wall that girds it. Now,
Aeolus has six daughters and six lusty sons, so he made the sons marry

Although it stung like whips;

And mermaids combed his dank and dripping hair
And smoothed his brow, and loosed his clenching hand;

My Last Duchess

Looking as if she were alive. I call

Worked busily a day, and there she stands.
