With the possession of my heart)
To Eliza's conquering face.

fires some of his ships (which are transformed into sea nymphs),

poet with that admirable episode of their friendship, generosity, and
the conclusion of their adventures.

As may be seen by the spots of green
And yellow and red and blue.

The hoodoo of love, the cinderella of class
Knowing that everywhere man has the same clock face,
the same moody defences

Five Critcisms

© Alfred Noyes

Old Pantaloon, lean-witted, dour and rich,
After grim years of soul-destroying greed,
Weds Columbine, that April-blooded witch
"Too young" to know that gold was not her need.

Vision Of Columbus - Book 5

© Joel Barlow

Columbus hail'd them with a father's smile,

Fruits of his cares and children of his toil;

The Corsair

1.
'Deep in my soul that tender secret dwells,
Lonely and lost to light for evermore,
Save when to thine my heart responsive swells,
Then trembles into silence as before
