LAMIA
By John Keats
Part 1
Upon a time, before the faery broods
Drove Nymph and Satyr from the
prosperous
woods,
Before King Oberon's bright diadem,
Sceptre, and mantle, clasp'd with dewy gem,
Frighted away the Dryads and the Fauns
From rushes green, and brakes, and cowslip'd lawns,
The ever-smitten Hermes empty left
His golden throne, bent warm on amorous theft:
From high Olympus had he stolen light,
On this side of Jove's clouds, to escape the sight
Of his great summoner, and made retreat
Into a forest on the shores of Crete.

The ' Ibis' is a poem of between six and seven hun-
dred lines in length, containing almost as many impre-
cations,
displaying
in their variety an amazing fertility
of imagination, which are directed against a personal
enemy who had spoken ill of the poet in his banish-
ment, had persecuted his wife with his attentions, and
had endeavoured to snatch some plunder from his pro-
perty.

Stefan George - Studies |

If heaven were not thus pure, it soon would rend;
If earth were not thus sure, 'twould break and bend;
Without these powers, the spirits soon would fail;
If not so filled, the drought would parch each vale;
Without that life,
creatures
would pass away;
Princes and kings, without that moral sway,
However grand and high, would all decay.

I want a board of
burnished
plate
Of silver and of gold,
Tureens of twenty pounds in weight
With sculpture's richest mold;
Plateaus with chandeliers and lamps,
Plates, dishes all the same;
And porcelain vases with the stamps
Of Sèvres or Angoulême.

There, notice will, also, be taken, among Sir William
Smith's invaluable aids to classical study, of his Dictionary of
Greek and Roman Biography (1844—9), which
materially
helped
to advance the study of ancient history on critical lines, and that
of Greek and Roman Geography, which dealt with an indispensable
adjunct to, or, rather, an integral part of, that study (1854—7).
