And dream the days away, --
The grass so little has to do,
I wish I were the hay!

These all fil'd out from camp into the plain,
And on the other side the Persians form'd:
First a light cloud of horse, Tartars they seem'd,
The Ilyats of Khorassan:[21] and behind, 135
The royal troops of Persia, horse and foot,
Marshall'd
battalions
bright in burnish'd steel.

But that crazy and desperate fellow [Antonius], far more of a scoundrel too than he of whom you said "the prince of scoundrels has been slain", is bent on starting a massacre, and accuses me of having instigated the assassination of Caesar, simply and solely with the object of inciting the veterans against me - a danger that has no terrors for me, provided only it adds to my
reputation
by giving it a share in the glory of your achievement.

indifferent to the sensitiveness of the Courts
and fearless of the hatred, more powerful now-
adays, of the

rabble": these were the
principles to which he adhered from his chair?

I fondly dwell, oh son of Aeacus,
On those blest days of wedlock new,
Then when we each to each were all in all}''

With yawning mouth the yellow hole
Gaped for a living thing;
The very mud cried out for blood
To the thirsty
asphalte
ring:
And we knew that ere one dawn grew fair
Some prisoner had to swing.

Wilde - Ballad of Reading Gaol |
|
He cared not for our sighs; and though 't be true
That he divided us, his worth I knew:
He must be blind that cannot see the sun,
But by strict justice Love is quite undone:
Counsel from such a friend gave such a stroke
To love, it almost split, as on a rock:
For as my father I his wrath did fear,
And as a son he in my love was dear;
Brothers in age we were, him I obey'd,
But with a troubled soul and look dismay'd:
Thus my dear half had an untimely death,
She prized her freedom far above her breath;
And I th' unhappy instrument was made;
Such force th' intreaty and
intreater
had!
