Memories--of fancy's golden
Treasures which my hands have holden,
Till the chillness made them ache;
Of childhood's hopes that used to wake
If birds were in a singing strain,
And for less cause, sleep again;
Of the moss-seat in the wood
Where I trysted solitude;
Of the hill-top where the wind
Used to follow me behind,
Then in sudden rush to blind
Both my glad eyes with my hair,
Taken gladly in the snare;
Of the climbing up the rocks,
Of the playing 'neath the oaks
Which retain beneath them now
Only shadow of the bough;
Of the lying on the grass
While the clouds did overpass,
Only they, so lightly driven,
Seeming betwixt me and Heaven;
Of the little prayers serene,
Murmuring of earth and sin;
Of large-leaved philosophy
Leaning from my
childish
knee;
Of poetic book sublime,
Soul-kissed for the first dear time,
Greek or English, ere I knew
Life was not a poem too:--
Throw them in, by one and one!

They are indeed bastards, not sons of war and true soldiers, whose divine souls I honour, yet they may be called great spirits too, for their valour is invisible ; these, I say, will write you a battle in any part of Europe at an hour's warning, and yet never set foot out of a tavern ;
describe
you towns, fortifications, leaders, the strength of the enemy, what confederates, every day's march.

La mattina Tristano a cui ne 'ncrebbe,
gli la rendé, donde il dolor fin ebbe:
92
perché gli disse, e lo fe' chiaro e certo,
che qual trovolla, tal gli la rendea;
e ben che degno era d'ogni onta in merto
de la discortesia ch'usata avea,
pur contentar d'averlo allo scoperto
fatto star tutta notte si volea:
né l'escusa accettò, che fosse Amore
stato cagion di così grave errore;
93
ch'Amor de' far gentile un cor villano,
e non far d'un gentil
contrario
effetto.
