Sharpened his glance; and from his chin a beard
Sword-stiff and ragged, Judas-like stuck forth.

Would that I might possess the Thracian lyre,
To wake from Hades, and their idle pose,
Those old Caesars, and the shades of those,
Who once raised this ancient city higher:
Or that I had Amphion's to inspire,
And with sweet harmony these stones enclose
To quicken them again, where they once rose,
Ausonian glory conjuring from its pyre:
Or that with skilful pencil I might draw
The portrait of these palaces once more,
With the spirit of some high Virgil filled;
I would attempt,
inflamed
by my ardour,
To recreate with the pen's slight power,
That which our own hands could never build.

Once more he
weltered
in despair,
With hands, through denser-matted hair,
More tightly clenched than then they were.

And
the
Nightingale
sang on and on; it sang of the quiet church-
yard where the white roses grow, where the elder-blossom smells
sweet, and where the fresh grass is wet with the tears of mourn-
Then Death felt a longing to see his garden, and floated
out at the window in the form of a cold, white mist.

Will breathe on _thee_ with life-enkindling breath,
Till when, like
strangers
shelt'ring from a storm,
Hope and Despair meet in the porch of Death!

Troubador Verse |
|
The hot impatience of his heart would not
Permit him to remain at Paris; he
At Amiens awaits the joyful tidings;
And thence to Calais reach his posts to bring
With winged swiftness to his tranced ear
The sweet consent which, still we humbly hope,
Your royal lips will
graciously
pronounce.
