An Old-World tale. Who reads perchanceMay deem it dull or idly told,Preferring latter-day romanceWhere well trained hearts their loves unfold. Tuscany, land of fierce hates and wild loves and of limitless passions,Tuscany, home of Petrarca and Dante and lively Boccaccio,Tuscany, … Continue reading
The Lay Of Marie – Canto First (Matilda Betham Poems)
The guests are met, the feast is near, But Marie does not yet appear! And to her vacant seat on high Is lifted many an anxious eye. The splendid show, the sumptuous board, The long details which feuds afford, And discontent is prone to hold, Absorb the … Continue reading
Festus – XLII (Philip James Bailey Poems)
The soul–state, intermediate ‘twixt earth’s lifeAnd the world future, unconceived till seen,We search with curious awe; mark dormant death;Nor, joyless, evil accost, by heaven restrained;From bonds aeonian loosened, ere the end:View, visionary, the circle of false gods,Refractions of the sole … Continue reading
The Lay Of Marie – Canto Second (Matilda Betham Poems)
Some, fearing Marie’s tale was o’er, Lamented that they heard no more; While Brehan, from her broken lay, Portended what she yet might say. As the untarrying minutes flew, More anxious and alarm’d he grew. At length he spake:–“We wait too long The remnant of this wilder’d … Continue reading

Festus – XXXIII (Philip James Bailey Poems)
As in our sky sometimes a vaporous massLow down, shows thunder threatening; while by windsOf happier, if adverse wing fanned, high up,Unutterably extolled, a cloud–stream clear,Tinged as with ghostliest silver, spreads, opposed,Its shadowy waveletage, bespeaking peaceProspective, genial change; so here; … Continue reading
The Little Dog (Jean de La Fontaine Poems)
THE key, which opes the chest of hoarded gold.Unlocks the heart that favours would withhold.To this the god of love has oft recourse,When arrows fail to reach the secret source,And I’ll maintain he’s right, for, ‘mong mankind,Nice presents ev’ry where … Continue reading

A Poem On The African Slave Trade. Addressed To Her Own Sex. Part II (Mary Birkett Card Poems)
ERST, when the Muse of Pity o’er me stole,And kindled new ideas in my soul;When Nature’s rude effusions pour’d along,Impell’d by Fancy, rais’d th’unpolish’d song;Then, when Imagination – Charming Maid,In all the rainbow’s lively hues array’d,Bade me her visionary heights … Continue reading
