Nay�察 �maiden�察 �let me tell thee of the past�察 �Let me lay bare my heart
beneath thy gaze�察�And thou wilt pity if thou canst not love。 I loved in
youth with love as fond and deep As ever made the heart of man its slave�察�
But�察 �ere my hopes could ripen to fruition�察 �Death came and made my
worshipped one his prize�察�And though my peace departed when she died�察�
Yet I was proud�察�and would not bond to sorrow�察�But with calm brow and
eye�察�and smiling lip�察�I mingled with the giddy thoughtless world�察�Seeking
from out its varied realms to wring Some recompense for that which I had
lost。 Wealth�察�fame�察�and power�察�I sought for and obtained�察�Yet found them
only gilded mockeries。 The paths of hidden knowledge I essayed�察�And trod
their mazy windings till they led My footstepswhither I may not
disclose�察�But all availed me nothing�察�still my heart Ached with the dreary
void lost love had made�察 �Ached ever till that void was filled by thee� �
Since first fate led me to your kindly door�察�Three times the moon with full´
orbed light hath shone�察�Thrice thirty times�察�with song of merry birds And
breath of fragrance�察�Morn has blest the earth And all its dwellers with her
radiant presence�察 �Thrice thirty times�察 �with star´bound brow�察 �dim Night
Hath kept her tearful watch above the earth�察�And every time the full´orb'd
moon hath shone�察�And every time the merry Morn hath smiled�察�And every
time dim Night with star´bound brow Above the earth hath kept her tearful

Note to the Misanthrope
;Then seek we�察 �for the maiden's pillow�察 �Far beyond the Atlantic's
billow�察�Love's apple��and when we have found it�察�Draw the magic circles
round it。;
Considering the Mandrake�察�many fabulous notions were entertained by
the ancients�察�and they never attempted to extract it from the earth�察�without
the previous performance of such ceremonies as they considered
efficacious in preventing the numerous accidents�察�dangers�察�and diseases�察�to
which they believed the person exposed who was daring enough to
undertake its extraction。 The usual manner of obtaining it was this��When
found�察�three times a circle was drawn around it with the point of a naked
sword�察�and a dog was then attached to it and beaten�察�until by his struggles
it was disengaged from the earth。
It was supposed to be useful in producing dreams�察�philters�察�charms &c。�察�
and also to possess the faculties of exciting love�察 �and increasing
population。

The Emperor Adrian�察�in a letter to Calexines�察�writes that he is drinking
the juice of the Mandrake to render him amorous�此 �hence it was called
Love´apple。

MISCELLANEOUS POEMS
TO ISABEL A Beautiful Little Girl。
Fair as some sea´child�察 �in her coral bower�察 �Decked with the rare�察�
rich treasures of the deep�察 �Mild as the spirit of the dream whose power
Bears back the infant's soul to heaven�察 �in sleep Brightens the hues of
summer's first´born flower Pure as the tears repentant mourners weep
O'er deeds to which the siren�察 �Sin�察 �beguiled�察�Art thou�察 �sweet�察 �smiling�察�
bright´eyed cherub child。
Thy presence is a spell of holiness�察 �From which unhallowed
thoughts shrink blushing back�察�Thy smile is a warm light that shines to
bless�察 �As beams the beacon o'er the wanderer's track�察 �Thy voice is
music�察�at whose sounds Distress Unbinds her writhing victim from the
rack Of misery�察 �and charmed by what she hears�察 �Forgets her woes�察 �and
smiles upon her tears。
And when I look upon thee�察 �bearing now The promise of such
loveliness�察�I ask If time will blight�察�that promise�察�if thy brow�察 �So sunny
now�察�will learn to wear the mask Of hollow smiles�察�or cold deceit�察�whilst
thou Art learning in thy soul the bitter task Time teaches to all bosoms�察�
when the glow Of hope is o'erbut this I may not know。
My path will not be near to thine through life�察 �Kind ones will
guard and fondly shelter thee�察 �Me bitterness awaits�察 �and care and strife�察�
And all that sorrow has of agony�察�My future�察�as my past was�察�will be rife
With heartaches�察 �and the pangs that ;pass not by�察─ �Each hour shall give
thee some new pleasure�察 �years�察 �Long years can bring me only toil 'and
tears。
'Tis meet that it should be so��I have made A wreck of my own
happiness�察 �and cast Across my heart�察 �in youth�察 �the dull�察 �deep shade
That wrinkled age flings over all at last But let it go��I have too long
delayed The remedy�察�and what is past is past�察�And could I live those
vanished moments o'er�察�My heart would wander as it strayed before。

Mazelli�察�and Other Poems
I know not how it is��my heart is stern�察 �And little giv'n to thoughts
of tenderness�察�Yet looking on thy young brow it will yearn�察 �And in my
bosom's innermost recess�察�Thoughts that have slumbered long awake and
burn With a wild strength which nothing can repress� �Be still�察 �worn
heart�察 �be still�察 �does not the cold And heavy clayclod mingle with her
mould�拭�
Yes�察 �'tis that in thy soft check's tender bloom�察 �Thy black eyes'
brightness�察�in each graceful move�察�I trace the lineaments of one to whom
My soul was wedded in an early love�察 �'Twas in my boyhood�察 �but the
insatiate tomb Claimed her fair form�察 �and for the realms above Her
spirit fled the earth�察�oh� �how I wept That mine should in its bondage
still be kept。
I mind the hour I stood beside the clay I had so loved in lifeit still
was fair�察�Surpassing fair�察�in death�察�and as she lay With the thick tresses
of her long dark hair Gathered above the brow whence feeling's ray
Had fled�察�because death's shadow darkened there�察�Her more than earthly
beauty made her seem The incarnation of some pure bright dream。
I stood and gazed�此�the pale grave sheet was wound About the form
from which life's spark was fled�察�For ever fled��wet eyes were weeping
round�察 �And voices full of sorrow mourned the dead�察�I could not weep�察�a
sadness more profound Than that from which those heart´drops�察�tears�察�
are shed�察�Was in my soul��for then the icy spell Of desolation freezing o'er
me fell。
And from that hour I have been alone�察 �Alone when crowds were
round me。 May thy fate Be coloured with a brighter hue�察 �and strown
With flowers where mine is thorns��where mine is hate�察�And strife�察�and
bitter discord�察�may thine own Be love�察�and hope�察�and peacefor these
create The sunshine of existence�察�may their light Beam ever round thee�察�
warm�察�and glad�察�and bright。
THE LOCK OF HAIR。
It is in sooth a lovely tress�察 �Still curled in many a ring�察�As glossy as
the plumes that dress The raven's jetty wing。 And the broad and soul´
illumined brow�察 �Above whose arch it grew�察 �Was like the stainless

I mind the time 'twas given to me�察 �The night�察 �the hour�察 �the spot�察�
And the eye that pleaded silently�察 �Forget the giver not。; Oh� �myriads

eye That shone beside me there� �
