Unrivall'd Greece! thou ever honor'd name,

The girls of the countryHave lured him from here.To change dress and figure,Was needful I found,

At Cheshire Cheese

When first of wise old Johnson taught,
My youthful mind its homage brought,
And made the pond'rous crusty sage
The object of a noble rage.

Let not my love be called idolatry,

Nor my beloved as an idol show,

Billys 'Square Affair'

© Henry Lawson

He wanted clothes, a masher suit, he wanted boots and hat;
His girl had earned a quid or twohe wouldnt part with that;
And so he went to Brickfield Hill, and from a draper there
He shook the proper kind of togs to fetch a square affair.

New Love, New Life.

© Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I acknowledge thee no more.
Fled is all that gave thee gladness,
Fled the cause of all thy sadness,

Mother! Darling mother, you are seeking me I know,

And I feel thy love will follow through the world where'er I go;

Winter Sunrise

It is early morning within this room; without,
Dark and damp; without and within, stillness
Waiting for day: not a sound but a listening air.
