The Pilgrim

For passing round the bottle with girls in rags or silk,
In country shawl or Paris cloak, had put my wits astray,
And what's the good of women, for all that they can say

I Still See You In My Dreams
I still see you in my dreams with your angel face in your beautiful white dress, smiling like a queen.
It was the most beautiful day of my dreams that I've ever seen.

Vif accompagnement sur le clavier des dents
Des doux refrains qu'Amour chante en les coeurs ardents,
Avec sa voix d'archange aux langueurs charmeresses!

A Moorish Maid
Above her veil a shrouded Moorish maid
Showed melting eyes, as limpid as a lake;
A brow untouched by care; a band of jetty hair,
And nothing more. The all-concealing haik

The pride of the place and its neighbourhood a';

In Lon'on or Paris, they'd gotten it a'.

The Spirit Of The Unborn Babe
The Spirit of the Unborn Babe peered through the window-pane,
Peered through the window-pane that glowed like beacon in the night;
For, oh, the sky was desolate and wild with wind and rain;
And how the little room was crammed with coziness and light!

The Iliad: Book 22

from off them and drank to quench their thirst, leaning against the
goodly battlements, while the Achaeans with their shields laid upon

Leaving my alone with a private meaning,

Man with his brotherless dinner on man in the tropical wood,
Priests in the name of the Lord passing souls through fire to the fire,

Seer of pretty visions ('servant of God and secretary of nature');

As fair as any may be;
The fairest shepherd on our green,
A love for any lady.

But, if HELL may by logical rules be defined
The place of the damned -I'll tell you my mind.

Taking towns at his liking, and crowns at his leisure,
From Elba to Lyons and Paris he goes,
Making balls for the ladies, and bows tohis foes.

With beauteous objects in abundance blessed.
No country round so many has possessed;

We sought of you art, wit, perfection, style;
You were to us a playground and a play.

The Iliad: Book 07
With these words Hector passed through the gates, and his brother

laboured at their oars till they are faint with toil, even so

Propped up and uncomplaining. On a chair
Beside him was a dreary bowl of broth,
A magazine, some glasses, and a pipe.
