From these to pen the pleasing pastoral:
Who fli'st at all heights: prose and verse run'st through;
Find'st here a fault, and mend'st the

For which I might extol thee, but speak less,
Because thyself art coming to the press:

We’ll see ’
That afternoon the map was removed from the schoolroom, and Mrs Creevy
scraped the plasticine off the board and threw it away It was the same with all
A Clergyman's Daughter 395
the other subjects, one after another All the changes that Dorothy had made
were undone They went back to the routine of interminable ‘copies’ and
interminable ‘practice’ sums, to the learmng parrot-fashion of c Passez-moi le
beurre 3 and c Le fils du jar dimer a perdu son chapeau' , to the Hundred Page
History and the insufferable little ‘reader’ (Mrs Creevy had impounded the
Shakespeares, ostensibly to burn them The
probability
was that she had sold
them ) Two hours a day were set apart for handwriting lessons The two
depressing pieces of black paper, which Dorothy had taken down from the
wall, were replaced, and their proverbs written upon them afresh m neat
copperplate As for the historical chart, Mrs Creevy took it away and burnt it
When the children saw the hated lessons, from which they had thought to
have escaped for ever, coming back upon them one by one, they were first
astonished, then miserable, then sulky But it was far worse for Dorothy than
for the children After only a couple of days the rigmarole through which she
was obliged to drive them so nauseated her that she began to doubt whether
she could go on with it any longer Again and again she toyed with the idea of
disobeying Mrs Creevy Why not, she would think, as the children whined and
groaned and sweated under their miserable bondage-why not stop it and go
back to proper lessons, even if it was only for an hour or two a day?

To lean on foreign aid; we have enough
Of our own warlike people to repel

The Original:
قالَ لَبيد بنُ الربيعة العامِريُّ
بلينا وما تبلى النجومُ الطَّوالِعُ وتَبْقَى الجِبالُ بَعْدَنَا والمَصانِعُ
وقد كنتُ في أكنافِ جارِ مَضَنَّةٍ ففارقَني جارٌ بأرْبَدَ نافِعُ
فَلا جَزِعٌ إنْ فَرَّقَ الدَّهْرُ بَيْنَنا وكُلُّ فَتى ً يَوْمَاً بهِ الدَّهْرُ فاجِعُ
فَلا أنَا يأتيني طَريفٌ بِفَرْحَةٍ وَلا أنا مِمّا أحدَثَ الدَّهرُ جازِعُ
ومَا النّاسُ إلاّ كالدِّيارِ
وأهْلها
بِها يَوْمَ حَلُّوها وغَدْواً بَلاقِعُ
وَيَمْضُون أرْسَالاً ونَخْلُفُ بَعدهم كما ضَمَّ أُخرَى التّالياتِ المُشايِعُ
ومَا المَرْءُ إلاَّ كالشِّهابِ وضَوْئِهِ يحورُ رَماداً بَعْدَ إذْ هُوَ ساطِعُ
ومَا المالُ والأهْلُونَ إلاَّ وَديعَة ٌ وَلابُدَّ يَوْماً أنْ تُرَدَّ الوَدائِعُ
ومَا الناسُ إلاَّ عاملانِ: فَعامِلٌ يتبِّرُ ما يبني، وآخرُ رافِعُ
فَمِنْهُمْ سَعيدٌ آخِذٌ لنَصِيبِهِ وَمِنْهُمْ شَقيٌّ بالمَعيشَة ِ قانِعُ
أَليْسَ ورائي، إنْ تراخَتْ مَنيّتي، لُزُومُ العَصَا تُحْنَى علَيها الأصابعُ
أخبّرُ أخبارَ القرونِ التي مضتْ أدبٌ كأنّي كُلّما قمتُ راكعُ
فأصبحتُ مثلَ السيفِ غَيَّرَ جفنهُ تَقَادُمُ عَهْدِ القَينِ والنَّصْلُ قاطعُ
فَلا تَبْعَدَنْ إنَّ المَنيِّة َ مَوعِدٌ عَلَيْنا فَدَانٍ للطُّلُوعِ وطالِعُ
أعاذلُ ما يُدريكَ، إلاَّ تظنيّاً، إذا ارتحَلَ الفِتيانُ منْ هوَ راجعُ
تُبَكِّي على إثرِ الشّبابِ الذي مَضَى ألا إنَّ أخدانَ الشّبابِ الرّعارِعُ
أتجزَعُ مِمّا أحدَثَ الدّهرُ بالفَتى وأيُّ كَريمٍ لمْ تُصِبْهُ القَوَارِعُ
لَعَمْرُكَ ما تَدري الضَّوَارِبُ بالحصَى وَلا زاجِراتُ الطّيرِ ما اللّهُ صانِعُ
سَلُوهُنَّ إنْ كَذَّبتموني متى الفتى يذوقُ المنايا أوْ متى الغيثُ واقِعُ
Umar Ibn Al-Farid: "Was that Layla's flame.
