Qui bello est habilis, Veneri quoque convenit. VOD fera tam castis mutare recessibus arma Parce, precor, verbis nimium indulgere severis : Non adeo tuus est, lux mea, durus amans. Qvid si, acie primum qvemcumqve offendimus hostem, Est novus a nobis iste petendus amor, Si clipeo potius, si basia iungimus ensi, Ardentiqve magis corde perimus eqvum? Attamen et tibi se mea vita probaverit ipsi ; Nec nihil haec levitas qvo capiaris habet; Nam tu, crede mihi, non tam dilecta fuisses, Ni tibi decressem praeposuisse decus. Stat tibi in corde Lapis.

Sed mihi, qvidqvid ibi pulchri est, habet omne dolorem, Cum taceat mentis saxea durities. Cur oculi mihi, cara, tui tam suave loqvuntur, Labraqve melle suo plena, genaeqve rosis, Venus; Materiamqve mei luctus aut eripe formam, Aut cor, qvale meum est, da qvoqve tale Neae. K. The Lake has burst. HE lake has burst! the lake has burst! Down through the chasms the wild waves flee; With a roaring song, Away to the eager awaiting sea! Down through the valleys, and over the rocks, The oaks and the ashes Shrink, drop, and are borne to the hungry sea! The cottage of reeds and the tower of stone, And the slave and his master, In one wide disaster, Are hurried, like weeds, to the scornful sea! The sea-beast he tosseth his foaming mane, And the sleep-buried Thunder And the Lightning opens her piercing eye! There is death above, there is death around, Save terror and ruin, In earth, and in air, and the stormy sea! BARRY CORNWALL. The Good die not.

BI clivo superato Pecudes sidus eoum Vocat ad mulctra coactas, et ab arvis rediit bos Mea lux, conveniam te, Prope rivum et cava saltus, ubi odorata refulget Neqve enim, si per opacae Tenebrosissima silvae Media nocte vagarer, metus esset mihi dulcem Etiam si glomeraret Rabiem nox, etiam si Pede fesso titubarem, tamen assueto ibi in agro Peterem te, meus ardor. Capreas exagitantem Nova montes per apertos Rapiat lux; colat aestu medio flumen et umbras Sibi piscator amicas : Ego tempus redeuntum Celebrabo tenebrarum, Mihi qvo langvidulum cor recreatur, mihi qvo Revocaris, Neobule.
