Beauvouloir could not destroy the harmonious grouping of the native woods, the graceful upspringing of the wild flowers, the cool softness of the grassy slopes, the love expressed in the intertwining growth of the clustering plants. Such ever-living poesies have a language heard, rather than understood by the poor girl, who yielded to vague misery among the shadows.
"A passably fair damozel," returned Anthony, "though a thought or so too marked and high in her lineaments, and wholly unlettered, no doubt; which were a pity, for George of Clarence has some pretty taste in the arts and poesies. But as Occleve hath it 'Gold, silver, jewel, cloth, beddyng, array,
Many of our books were written in its vaults; the Duke of Orleans's "Poesies," Raleigh's "Historie of the World," Eliot's "Monarchy of Man," and Penn's "No Cross, No Crown."
All kinds of songs are represented; the rondeaux of children whose inspiration is alike in all countries: Hanoteau, Poésies Populaires de la Khabylie du Jurgura, Paris, 1867, 8vo. "Oh, moonlight clear in the narrow streets, Tell to our little friends To come out now with us to play To play with us to-night. If they come not, then we will go To them with leather shoes.

Such maggot-tainted, lewd corruption! ... Hence, thou misjudging censor: know I wrot Those idle rimes to note the odious spot and blemish that deformes the lineaments of modern poesies habiliments.
The six following poesies are selected from this series, as they are good examples of the average inspirations of ring-poets: “Seithe God hath wrought this choice in thee, So frame thyselfe to comfourth mee.” “United hearts death only parts.” “Let us share in joy and care.” “A faithfull wife preserveth life.” “As God decreed, so we agreed.” “Love and live happily.”

When it was over, all present were under the influence of feelings such as cannot express themselves by vulgar applause. "Ah! music is the first of arts!" exclaimed the marquise. "Camille thinks youth and beauty the first of poesies," said Claude Vignon. Mademoiselle des Touches looked at Claude with vague uneasiness.
Moreover the poems existed only in MS.; subsequently they were published in a Recueil de Poesies. The manner of the discovery of the poems is curious, and serves as a warning to incautious bards. Leaving his chamber one day, he opened the window, and unfortunately a strong gust of wind carried several pages of MS. which were lying on his table into the street.
