"Hearts that are breaking, whose lov'd ones have vanished, Swept down in the seething ocean of fire, E'en now they may rest where pain is all banished, And join their glad songs with the heavenly choir. "Hearts that are groaning with life's weary burden, Who fear to go forward, to sorrow a prey; Jesus invites you 'Oh, come, heavy laden'; Leave sin at His feet, bear mercy away."
While the two girls sat with their arms interlinked watching that beloved face, the nurses stole out from the ward, and crept, each with an earthen pitcher in her hand, down the Hospital stairs, and out into the open grounds. Time stole into eternity, And they stood wondering by, Breathless, and oh, how silently To watch the lov'd one die.
But here Nat touched his arm. "Let me follow them, sir, and see which way they take. Being so tame, they have likely enough some master or herdsman up yonder " "Or herdswoman," I laughed. "Take me with you, Nat." "Nay, that I won't," he answered, with a quick blush. "You have the temper of Adonis "'Hunting he lov'd, but love he laughed to scorn,
Wert never the man could ha' tam'd me art the weaker, in a way: forgie the word, for I lov'd thee so, boy Jack!" Her arms were drawing down my face to her: her eyes dull with pain. "Feel, Jack there over my right breast. I plugg'd the wound wi' a peat turf. Pull it out, for 'tis bleeding inwards, and hurts cruelly pull it out!"
I could never, without horror and indignation, read that passage in the twenty-third book of the Iliad, which describes twelve valiant Trojan captives sacrificed by the inhuman Achilles at the tomb of his friend Patroclus. Dodeka men Troon megathumon uias eathlous Tous ama pantas pur eathiei. Twelve generous Trojans slaughtered in their Bloom, With thy lov'd Corse the Fire shall now consume.
But you must espouse a fatal cause too, more pernicious than that of matrimony, and more destructive to my repose: oh give me leave to reason with you, and since you have been pleas'd to trust and afflict me with the secret, which, honest as I am, I will never betray; yet, yet give me leave to urge the danger of it to you, and consequently to me, if you pursue it; when you are with me, we can think, and talk, and argue nothing but the mightier business of love; and it is fit that I, so fondly, and fatally lov'd by you, should warn you of the danger.
And from the top bough take my flight, Into a country beyond sight, Where old ones, instantly grow young, And there with Seraphims set song; No seasons cold, nor storms they see, But spring lasts to eternity; When each of you shall in your nest Among your young ones take your rest, In chirping language, oft them tell, You had a Dam that lov'd you well, That did what could be done for young, And nurst you up till you were strong, And 'fore she once would let you fly, She shew'd you joy and misery; Taught what was good, and what was ill, What would save life, and what would kill?
I lov'd her from my boyhood she to me Was as a fairy city of the heart, Rising like water-columns from the sea, Of joy the sojourn, and of wealth the mart; And Otway, Radcliffe, Schiller, Shakspeare's art Had stamp'd her image in me, and ever so, Although I found her thus, we did not part, Perchance even dearer in her day of woe Than when she was a boast, a marvel, and a show.
I can forgive, though 'twas not kind To let me languish in a desperate Error; Why was this Blessing hid from me alone? Er. Ah, Sir, so well I knew you lov'd Alcippus, That had you known it e'er the Prince had own'd me, I fear you had restor'd me back again, A Sin too great to load your Soul withal. Org. And when they undeceiv'd me Of my opinion of her being dead Phi. King.
That spirit who watches over the sanctities of love is a strong angel is a jealous angel; and this angel it was 'That lov'd the bird, that lov'd the man, That shot him with his bow. He it was that followed the cruel archer into silent and slumbering seas; 'Nine fathom deep he had follow'd him Through the realms of mist and snow.
