Enough that I shall share The dear, brief smile of your unhappy stars.
[ 64] The Tyrant.
I MADE a covenant with Time. He spake: "O braggart brain, presumptuous heart of dust, Brief energy, dost fret at moth and rust?
Think'st thou to mend the laggard pace I take ?
Behold the hills — the baubles that I make — Bow down before me : verily thou must !
Then grudge not, stint not, brave the world's distrust, Wait and stand steadfast while I make and break : — Then see how generous old Time can be !
T...hen rest, and be his darling! Ho, the sheaves These hasty folk snatch from my granary, Then, startled at my shadow, drop like thieves!
I chuckle as I lay them by for thee, Mellow as sunlight in autumnal eves !" [ 65 ] The Young Poet to Italy.
O BEAUTIFUL, O dear beyond desire, Sometimes fond fears assail me, when the day Is long, and Fame and Fortune still delay, Lest thou, who waitest for me there, should'st tire, Saying, "He hath forgotten his old sire, Hoary Antiquity — his pensive, gay, And tender mother, Beauty ; he will stay, Poor changeling !
