The Third Booke Of Qvodlibets

Kings doe correct those that Rebellious are,
And their good Subjects worthily preferre:
Iust Epigrams reproue those that offend,
And those that vertuous are, she doth commend.

Ultima Verba (My Last Word)

© Victor Marie Hugo

... Quand même grandirait l'abjection publique
A ce point d'adorer l'exécrable trompeur ;
Quand même l'Angleterre et même l'Amérique
Diraient à l'exilé : - Va-t'en ! nous avons peur !

'Tis small:  we boast not these rich subjects here,
Who hazard thrice ten thousand pounds a-year;
We've no huge buildings, where incessant noise
Is made by springs and spindles, girls and boys;
Where, 'mid such thundering sounds, the maiden's

But who should hear them? and whose laughs? and why?

Naucratia; Or Naval Dominion. Part II.

© Henry James Pye

  Yet midst the scene of dread, when certain fate
  Rides on the tempest in terrific state,
  Bold in the face of death the naval train
  Exert their force, and brave the insulting main;
  Though rising horrors on their efforts lower,
  And the deaf whirlwind mock their useless power.

The Chaplain

© Edgar Albert Guest

He was just a small church parson when the war broke out, and he
Looked and dressed and acted like all parsons that we see.
He wore the cleric's broadcloth and he hooked his vest behind,
But he had a man's religion and he had a strong man's mind,
And he heard the call to duty, and he quit his church and went,
And he bravely tramped right with 'em everywhere the boys were sent.

Virgin Of Bethlehem

Humbler thy lot was than this world’s most lowly one,
  List to the prayers that we offer to thee!

The Golden Age

© Alfred Austin

Nor this the worst! When ripened Shame would hide
Fruits of that hour when Passion conquered Pride,
There are not wanting in this Christian land
The breast remorseless and the Thuggish hand,
 To advertise the dens where Death is sold,
And quench the breath of baby-life for gold!

Lines Written As A School Exercise At Hawkshead, Anno Aetatis 14

© William Wordsworth

"AND has the Sun his flaming chariot driven
Two hundred times around the ring of heaven,
Since Science first, with all her sacred train,
Beneath yon roof began her heavenly reign?
