Lines Suggested By The Fourteenth Of February - II

© Charles Stuart Calverley

Darkness succeeds to twilight:
Through lattice and through skylight
The stars no doubt, if one looked out,
Might be observed to shine:

Soneto

© Antônio Gonçalves Dias

Pensas tu, bela Anarda, que os poetas
Vivem dar, de perfumes, d'ambrosia?
Que vagando por mares dharmonia
São melhores que as próprias borboletas?

The Vision Of Piers Plowman - Part 19

That thow [have thyn askyng], as the lawe asketh
Omnia sunt tua ad defendendum set non ad deprehendendum.'
The viker hadde fer hoom, and faire took his leeve -

Eclogue III

© Virgil

Damoetas.
Nay, they are Aegon's sheep, of late by him

Idyll XXVII. A Countryman's Wooing

© Theocritus

Thus interchanging whispered talk the pair,
Their faces all aglow, long lingered there.

With downcast eyes, but sunshine in her heart,
She went to tend her flock; while Daphnis ran
Back to his herded bulls, a happy man.

The Lady Of La Garaye - Part IV

© Caroline Norton

Not vacant in the day of which I write!
Then rose thy pillared columns fair and white;
Then floated out the odorous pleasant scent
Of cultured shrubs and flowers together blent,
And o'er the trim-kept gravel's tawny hue
Warm fell the shadows and the brightness too.
