Le Chat (The Cat)
© Charles Baudelaire
Viens, mon beau chat, sur mon coeur amoureux;
Retiens les griffes de ta patte,
Et laisse-moi plonger dans tes beaux yeux,
Mêlés de métal et d'agate.
Ode--'On A Distant Prospect' Of Making A Fortune
© Charles Stuart Calverley
Now the "rosy morn appearing"
Floods with light the dazzled heaven;
And the schoolboy groans on hearing
That eternal clock strike seven:-
Ode - So dear my Lucio is to me
© William Shenstone
So dear my Lucio is to me,
So well our minds and tempers blend,
That seasons may for ever flee,
And ne'er divide me from my friend;
But let the favour'd boy forbear
To tempt with love my only fair.
Written In A Quarrel
© William Cowper
Think, Delia, with what cruel haste
Our fleeting pleasures move,
Nor heedless in sorrow waste
The moments due to love;
"Dearest, dearest"
© Lesbia Harford
Dearest, dearest,
Bother the slow hours
That hold and keep me
From the leafy bowers
Sorrows of Werther
© William Makepeace Thackeray
Werther had a love for Charlotte
Such as words could never utter;
Would you know how first he met her?
She was cutting bread and butter.
How Long Wilt Thou Love Me?

Path beside the silver waters, flashing in Octobers sun
Walk, by green and golden margins where the sister streamlets run
The Art Of War. Book V.
© Henry James Pye
Pallas, whose hand can through each devious road
Conduct your steps to Victory's bright abode,
Teach you success in every hour to find,
And for each season form the Hero's mind,
Shall now in verse the prudent art disclose,
To guard your peaceful quarter's calm repose.
"Dont ask me for the same love, my sweetheart"
© Faiz Ahmed Faiz
Dont ask me for the same love, my sweetheart
I thought that life was radiant because of you
Why complain of worldly woes, once in your love-affliction
Your countenance brings eternity to the youth of spring
What else is there in the world but for the beauty of your eyes
If you were mine, my destiny would surrender to me
The Enchanted Island. By Danby
© Letitia Elizabeth Landon
AND there the island lay, the waves around
Had never known a storm; for the north wind
Let us with a Gladsome Mind
© John Milton
Let us with a gladsome mind
Praise the Lord, for He is king,
For his mercies shall endure,
Ever faithful, ever sure.
Song. Translated From The German
© Percy Bysshe Shelley
Ah! grasp the dire dagger and couch the fell spear,
If vengeance and death to thy bosom be dear,
The dastard shall perish, deaths torment shall prove,
For fate and revenge are decreed from above.
