Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring

With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease, 10
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.

No it is bought with the price
Of all that a man hath his house his wife his children
Wisdom is sold in the desolate market where none come to buy
And in the witherd field where the farmer plows for bread in vain
It is an easy thing to triumph in the summers sun
And in the vintage & to sing on the waggon loaded with corn
It is an easy thing to talk of patience to the afflicted
To speak the laws of prudence to the houseless wanderer
PAGE 36
To listen to the hungry ravens cry in wintry season
When the red blood is filld with wine & with the marrow of lambs
It is an easy thing to laugh at wrathful elements
To hear the dog howl at the wintry door, the ox in the slaughter house moan
To see a god on every wind & a blessing on every blast
To hear sounds of love in the thunder storm that destroys our enemies house
To rejoice in the blight that covers his field, & the sickness that cuts off his children
While our olive & vine sing & laugh round our door & our children bring fruits & flowers
Then the groan & the dolor are quite
forgotten
& the slave grinding at the mill
And the captive in chains & the poor in the prison, & the soldier in the field
When the shatterd bone hath laid him groaning among the happier dead
It is an easy thing to rejoice in the tents of prosperity
Thus could I sing & thus rejoice, but it is not so with me!

Y un eco que agudo parece
Del ángel del juicio la voz, [1475]
En tiple, punzante alarido
Medroso y sonoro se alzó;
Sintió, removidas las tumbas,
Crujir a sus pies con fragor,
Chocar en las piedras los cráneos [1480]
Con rabia y ahinco feroz,
Romper intentando la losa,
Y huir de su eterna mansión,
Los muertos, de súbito oyendo
El alto mandato de Dios.

other tyrants,
committed
this injustice out of a love of
licentious pleasure, or from a motive of avarice; but
incited, when very young, by a passion for glory, and
unadvisedly believing the false and vain accounts of
the wondrous happiness of arbitrary power, he had
