  1. Agrippina, a Tragedy  (57 results)
              5    Alone, unguarded and without a lictor

            16    Without a spell to raise, and bid it fire

            27    And dost thou talk to me, to me, of danger,
            28    Of haughty youth and irritated power,
            30    This painted Jove, and taught his novice hand
            32    Scared at the sound and dazzled with its brightness?

            61    When in a secret and dead hour of night,
            63    Of muttered charms and solemn invocation,
            72    Think too how oft in weak and sickly minds
            74    Rankle to gall; and benefits too great
            79    That wait on youth and arbitrary sway:
            80    These were your gift, and with them you bestowed
            82    Thus ever grave and undisturbed reflection
            84    Of rage, and thinks to quench the fire it feels not.
            86    And tremble at the phantom I have raised?
            90    With equal power resume that gift, and raise
            96    And outcry of the battle? Have his limbs
            99    And pleasure's flowery lap? Rubellius lives,
          100    And Sylla has his friends, though schooled by fear
          101    To bow the supple knee, and court the times
          102    With shows of fair obeisance; and a call
          107    With stubborn nerves the tide, and face the rigour
          112    Of old respect and gratitude, are [mine].

          144    And lighten from thy eye: around thee call
          148    To dress thy plea, and Burrhus strengthen it
          149    With his plain soldier's oath and honest seeming.
          150    Against thee, liberty and Agrippina:
          151    The world, the prize; and fair befall the victors.

            32    And tipped her arrows with good-nature.
            37    With bonnet blue and capucine,
            38    And aprons long they hid their armour,
            39    And veiled their weapons bright and keen
            45    Who prowled the country far and near,
            47    Dried up the cows and lamed the deer,
            48    And sucked the eggs and killed the pheasants.
            50    Swore by her coronet and ermine,
            60    And up stairs in a whirlwind rattle.
            61    Each hole and cupboard they explore,
            62    Each creek and cranny of his chamber,
            64    And o'er the bed and tester clamber,

          100    And from the gallery stand peeping:
          105    In peaked hoods and mantles tarnished,
          110    And doff their hats with due submission:
          116    And all that Groom could urge against him.
          131    My lady rose and with a grace—
          132    She smiled, and bid him come to dinner.
          136    'The times are altered quite and clean!
          138    'Her air and all her manners show it.
          140    'Speak to a commoner and poet!'
          141    And so God save our noble King,
          142    And guard us from long-winded lubbers,

              4    Their roots to feed and fill their verdant veins;
              5    And as in climes, where winter holds his reign,
            11    That health and vigour to the soul impart,
            12    Spread the young thought and warm the opening heart.
            17    And scatter with a free though frugal hand
            21    And blast the blooming promise of the year.
            25    To either pole and life's remotest bounds.
            29    The sparks of truth and happiness has given:
            31    They follow pleasure and they fly from pain;
            33    The event presages and explores the cause.
            37    The social smile and sympathetic tear.
            40    Here measured laws and philosophic ease
            41    Fix and improve the polished arts of peace.
            42    There Industry and Gain their vigils keep,
            43    Command the winds and tame the unwilling deep.
            44    Here force and hardy deeds of blood prevail;
            48    And, where the deluge burst, with sweepy sway
            53    Her boasted titles and her golden fields:
            55    A brighter day and heavens of azure hue,
            57    And quaff the pendent vintage, as it grows.
            58    Proud of the yoke and pliant to the rod,
            62    And sees far off with an indignant groan
            63    Her native plains and empires once her own?
            64    Can opener skies and suns of fiercer flame
            67    Fade and expire beneath the eye of day?
            69    To string our nerves and steel our hearts to war?
            70    And, where the face of nature laughs around,
            77    O'er Libya's deserts and through Zembla's snows?
            83    And raise the mortal to a height divine.
            96    And while their rocky ramparts round they see,
            97    The rough abode of want and liberty,
          102    From his broad bosom life and verdure flings,
          103    And broods o'er Egypt with his watery wings,
          104    If with adventurous oar and ready sail,
          107    That rise and glitter o'er the ambient tide.

              2    And give to rapture all thy trembling strings.
              6    Drink life and fragrance as they flow.
              8    Deep, majestic, smooth, and strong,
              9    Through verdant vales and Ceres' golden reign:
            12    The rocks and nodding groves rebellow to the roar.
            14    Parent of sweet and solemn-breathing airs,
            16    And frantic Passions hear thy soft control.
            19    And dropped his thirsty lance at thy command.
            22    With ruffled plumes and flagging wing:
            24    The terror of his beak, and lightnings of his eye.
            30    With antic Sports and blue-eyed Pleasures,
            40    O'er her warm cheek and rising bosom move
            41    The bloom of young desire and purple light of love.
            43    Labour, and penury, the racks of pain,
            44    Disease, and sorrow's weeping train,
            45    And death, sad refuge from the storms of fate!
            47    And justify the laws of Jove.
            49    Night, and all her sickly dews,
            50    Her spectres wan, and birds of boding cry,
            53    Hyperion's march they spy, and glittering shafts of war.
            58    And oft, beneath the odorous shade
            62    Their feather-cinctured chiefs, and dusky loves.
            64    Glory pursue, and generous Shame,
            65    The unconquerable Mind, and Freedom's holy flame.
            75    Every shade and hallowed fountain
            80    And coward Vice that revels in her chains.
            83    Far from the sun and summer-gale,
            88    Stretched forth his little arms and smiled.
            93    Of horror that, and thrilling fears,
            98    He passed the flaming bounds of place and time:
          106    With necks in thunder clothed, and long-resounding pace.
          110    Thoughts that breathe, and words that burn.
          121    Yet shall he mount, and keep his distant way

              2    And furthest send its weight athwart the field,
              6    Labouring the disc, and to small distance threw.
              8    A slippery weight and formed of polished brass.

            18    And batter Cadmus' walls with stony showers,
            21    He said, and scornful flung the unheeded weight
            25    These conscious shame witheld and pride of noble line.
            26    As bright and huge the spacious circle lay,
            31    And, clashed, rebellows with the din of war.
            33    Summoned his strength and called forth all the man.
            41    And now in dust the polished ball he rolled,
            43    Now fitting to his grip and nervous arm,
            47    Firmly he plants each knee and o'er his head,
            50    Sings in its rapid way and strengthens as it flies;
            52    Heavy and huge, and cleaves the solid ground.
            57    Their cymbals toss and sounding brass explore:
            59    And smiles malignant on the labouring power.
            61    With sturdy step and slow, Hippomedon.
            62    Artful and strong he poised the well-known weight,
            63    By Phlegyas warned and fired by Mnestheus' fate,
            64    That to avoid and this to emulate.
            66    Braced all his nerves and every sinew strung;
            67    Then, with a tempest's whirl and wary eye,
            68    Pursued his cast and hurled the orb on high;
            71    Far overleaps all bound and joys to see
            73    The theatre's green height and woody wall
            76    While vales and woods and echoing hills rebound.
            80    And parting surges round the vessel roar,
            82    And scarce Ulysses scaped his giant arm.
            84    With native spots and artful labour gay:
            86    And calmed the terrors of his claws in gold.

              3    And first to Ascalon their steps they bend,
              8    Tempestuous, and all further course withstood:
            10    Swoll'n with new force and late-descending rains.
            18    And winter binds the floods in icy chains,
            22    And sports and wantons o'er the frozen tide;
            24    The river boiled beneath and rushed towards the main.
            26    His course he turned and thus relieved their care:
            27    'Vast, O my friends, and difficult the toil
            30    Art it requires and more than winged speed.
            35    Great things and full of wonder in your ears
            42    And in the midst a spacious arch appears.
            43    Their hands he seized and down the steep he led,
            46    Discovered half, and half concealed, their way,
            50    Earth's inmost cells and caves of deep descent.
            56    Euphrates' fount and Nile's mysterious head.
            58    And embryon metals undigested glow;
            59    Sulphureous veins and living silver shine,
            62    The parts combine and harden into ore.
            64    And paint the margin of the costly stream.
            66    And mix attempered in a various day.
            68    And rubies flame, with sapphires heavenly blue;
            70    Proud of its thousand dyes and luxury of light.

  12. The Candidate  (18 results)
              2    With a lick of court whitewash and pious grimace,
              4    In harmless society guttle and scold.
              8    But his nose is a shame and his eyes are so lewd!
              9    Then he shambles and straddles so oddly, I fear—
            15    'They say he's no Christian, loves drinking and whoring,
            16    And all the town rings of his swearing and roaring,
            17    His lying and filching, and Newgate-bird tricks:—
            18    Not I,— for a coronet, chariot and six.'
            19    Divinity heard, between waking and dozing,
            20    Her sisters denying and Jemmy proposing;
            22    She stroked up her belly and stroked down her band.
            23    'What a pother is here about wenching and roaring!
            24    Why David loved catches and Solomon whoring.
            26    Their jewels of silver and jewels of gold?
            30    Besides, he repents, and he talks about G[od].
            34    He's Christian enough that repents and that [stitches].'

              5    E enters next and with her Eve appears.
              7    What ease and elegance her person grace,
            14    They're all diverted into H and B.
            15    F follows fast the fair— and in his rear
            18    With fans and flounces, fringe and furbelows.
            19    Here Grub-street geese presume to joke and jeer,
            24    H mounts to heaven and H descends to hell.
            28    See Israel and all Judah thronging there. [...]
            32    Mortals he loves to prick and pinch and pluck.
            36    And now a player, a peer, a pimp or priest,
            38    Now seems a penny, and now shows a pound.
            46    And seems small difference the sounds between.
            56    With rooks and rabbit-burrows round his seat.
            59    And brings all womankind before your view:
            60    A wench, a wife, a widow and a w[hor]e,
            61    With woe behind and wantonness before.

              1    From purling streams and the Elysian scene,
              4    Restored to Celadon and upper light.
            10    The house of torture and the abyss of woe;
            11    But happy fields and mansions free from pain,
            12    Gay meads and springing flowers, best please the gentle swain.
            16    And blundered through a narrow postern door.
            19    Through entries long, through cellars vast and deep,
            21    Where spiders spread their webs and owlish goblins sleep.
            24    Betwixt the confines of the light and dark
            27    And shadows in disguise skate o'er the iced Canal;
            28    Here groves embowered and more sequestered shades,
            31    With gloomy haunts and twilight walks between,
            35    With Queen Elizabeth and Nicolini.
            37    Would tire alike your patience and my muse.
            44    Nobles and cits, Prince Pluto and his spouse,
            51    And Alexander wears a ramilie.

            19    And, redolent of joy and youth,
            37    And unknown regions dare descry:
            40    And snatch a fearful joy.
            47    And lively cheer of vigour born;
            57    And black Misfortune's baleful train!
            64    And Shame that skulks behind;
            68    And Envy wan, and faded Care,
            70    And Sorrow's piercing dart.
            74    And grinning Infamy.
            76    And hard Unkindness' altered eye,
            78    And keen Remorse with blood defiled,
            79    And moody Madness laughing wild
            90    And slow-consuming Age.
            97    And happiness too swiftly flies.

              5    Till April starts, and calls around
              7    And lightly o'er the living scene
            15    And, lessening from the dazzled sight,
            16    Melts into air and liquid light.
            24    With forward and reverted eyes.
            27    And o'er the cheek of Sorrow throw
            31    And blacken round our weary way,
            39    And blended form, with artful strife,
            40    The strength and harmony of life.
            44    And breathe and walk again:
            47    The common sun, the air and skies,
            52    And tastes it as it goes.
            54    Broad and turbulent it grows
            57    Mark where Indolence and Pride,

            12    And bade to form her infant mind.
            16    And from her own she learned to melt at others' woe.
            19    Wild Laughter, Noise, and thoughtless Joy,
            20    And leave us leisure to be good.
            21    Light they disperse, and with them go
            24    To her they vow their truth and are again believed.
            27    And Melancholy, silent maid
            32    And Pity, dropping soft the sadly-pleasing tear.
            38    With thundering voice and threatening mien,
            40    Despair, and fell Disease, and ghastly Poverty.
            46    Teach me to love and to forgive,
            48    What others are, to feel, and know myself a man.

  18. Imitated from Propertius, Lib: 3: Eleg: 5:  (15 results)
            10    I'd in the ring knit hands and join the Muses' dance.
            15    And when, our flames commissioned to destroy,
            16    Age step 'twixt love and me, and intercept our joy;
            18    And all its jetty honours turn to snow;
            25    And whence, anew revived, with silver light
            29    And whence the cloudy magazines maintain
            36    Shakes all his pines and bows his hundred heads;
            40    And what Bootes' lazy wagon tires;
            42    Who measured out the year and bade the seasons roll;
            51    Famine at feasts and thirst amid the stream.
            53    And all the scenes that hurt the grave's repose,
            54    But pictured horror and poetic woes?
            56    Be love my youth's pursuit and science crown my age.
            58    Redeem what Crassus lost and vindicate his name.

              1    Old and abandoned by each venal friend,
              3    To smuggle some few years and strive to mend
              4        A broken character and constitution.
              7    Here sea-gulls scream and cormorants rejoice,
              8        And mariners, though shipwrecked, dread to land.
              9    Here reign the blustering North and blighting East,
            13    Now mouldering fanes and battlements arise,
            14        Arches and turrets nodding to their fall,
            16        And mimic desolation covers all.
            20        And realised the ruins that we feign.
            21    Purged by the sword and beautified by fire,
            24        And foxes stunk and littered in St Paul's.'

              2    And saddled straight his coal-black steed;
              8    Foam and human gore distilled:
            10    Eyes that glow and fangs that grin;
            11    And long pursues with fruitless yell
            30    And drags me from the realms of night?
            33    The drenching dews, and driving rain!
            52    Prophetess, arise and say,
            60    Once again arise and say,
            74    Prophetess, awake and say,
            78    And snowy veils, that float in air.

            26    Let us go, and let us fly,
            31    Gondula and Geira, spread
            34    Ours to kill and ours to spare:
            53    Hail the task, and hail the hands!
            54    Songs of joy and triumph sing!
            60    Far and wide the notes prolong.

              8    Liberal hand and open heart.
            13    On her shadow long and gay
            16    Catch the winds and join the war:
            17    Black and huge along they sweep,
            21    In glittering arms and glory dressed,
            24    There the press and there the din;
            32    Fear to stop and shame to fly.
            34    Conflict fierce and Ruin wild,
            36    Despair and honourable Death.

              4    Though now a book and interleaved, you see.
              6    From fumbling baronets and poets small,
              7    Pert barristers and parsons nothing bright:
            10    Was fashioned fair in meek and dovelike guise;
            12    By residence, by marriage, and sore eyes?
            15    And (when thou hear'st the organ piping shrill)
            16    Grease his best pen, and all he scribbles, tear.
            17    Better to bottom tarts and cheesecakes nice,
            20    Than thus be patched and cobbled in one's grave.
            24    For glorious puddings and immortal pies.

            20    Break out, and flash a momentary day,
            22    And huddle up in fogs the dangerous fire.
            30    And all was Ignorance, and all was Night.
            32    (The schoolman's glory, and the churchman's boast.)
            35    And bring the buried ages back to view.

            27    And float amid the liquid noon:
            33    And they that creep, and they that fly,
            35    Alike the busy and the gay
            43    Poor moralist! and what art thou?

            12        And catch a lustre from his genuine flame.
            16        And Dryden's harmony submit to mine.
            20        The pomp and prodigality of heaven.
            24        And dazzle with a luxury of light.
            27    And as their pleasing influence [...]
