Elle laisse filer une larme furtive,

Dans le creux de sa main prend cette larme pale,
Aux reflets irises comme un fragment d'opale,

To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet;
There will be time to murder and create,
And time for all the works and days of hands

The un-opening of sacred eyes, the being-still,
The solid tomb may rise,

The sepulchre where lies the power to blight,

CANTO XXX
WHAT time
resentment
burn'd in Juno's breast
For Semele against the Theban blood,
As more than once in dire mischance was rued,
Such fatal frenzy seiz'd on Athamas,
That he his spouse beholding with a babe
Laden on either arm, "Spread out," he cried,
"The meshes, that I take the lioness
And the young lions at the pass:" then forth
Stretch'd he his merciless talons, grasping one,
One helpless innocent, Learchus nam'd,
Whom swinging down he dash'd upon a rock,
And with her other burden self-destroy'd
The hapless mother plung'd: and when the pride
Of all-presuming Troy fell from its height,
By fortune overwhelm'd, and the old king
With his realm perish'd, then did Hecuba,
A wretch forlorn and captive, when she saw
Polyxena first slaughter'd, and her son,
Her Polydorus, on the wild sea-beach
Next met the mourner's view, then reft of sense
Did she run barking even as a dog;
Such mighty power had grief to wrench her soul.
