He who has seen a great oak dry and dead,
Bearing some trophy as an ornament,
Whose roots from earth are almost rent,
Though to the heavens it still lifts its head;
More than half-bowed towards its final bed,
Showing its naked boughs and fibres bent,
While, leafless now, its heavy crown is leant
Support by a gnarled trunk, its sap long bled;
And though at the first strong wind it must fall,
And many young oaks are rooted within call,
Alone among the devout populace is revered:
Who such an oak has seen, let him consider,
That, among cities which have
flourished
here,
This old honoured dust was the most honoured.

desire, of perfect'st love being made,
Shall neigh--no dull flesh--in his fiery race;
But love, for love, thus shall excuse my jade,--
'Since from thee going, he went wilful-slow,
Towards thee I'll run, and give him leave to go.

"Sir, I now can hear like chime
The sound of voices, and men's voices too,
Laughter
and talk; two men there are in view,
Across the road the shadows clear I mark
Of horses three.

Se stava all'ombra, o se del tetto usciva,
Avea dì e notte il bel giovine a lato:
Matino e sera or questa or quella riva
Cercando andava, o qualche verde prato:
Nel mezo giorno un antro li copriva,
Forse non men di quel commodo e grato
Ch'ebber, fuggendo l'acque, Enea e Dido,
De' lor secreti
testimonio
fido.

pagan morì di corto,
ch'era vivendo in numero de' buoni:
quell'altro cadde ancor, ma fu risorto
tosto ch'al fianco si sentì gli sproni.

It recognises, alone among Sūtras, a named Purāņa
(the Bhavishya, II, 24, 6) and its archaic effect linguistically, which in large
measure determined Bühler in his conjecture that this Sūtra might revert to
the fifth century, may well be due to the fact that the Andhras retained
linguistic peculiarities long after Pāniņi fixed the
northern
usage.
