Almost Beyond Endurance

...I ain't a-goin' to cry no more, no more!
I'm got ear-ache, an' Ma can't make
It quit a-tall;
An' Carlo bite my rubber-ball
An' puncture it; an' Sis she take
An' poke' my knife down through the stable-floor
An' loozed it - blame it all!
But I ain't goin' to cry no more, no more!

An' Aunt Mame wrote she's comin',
an she can't -
Folks is come there! - An I don't care
She is my Aunt!
An' my eyes stings; an' I'm
Ist coughin' all the time,
An' hurts me so; a...Read more of this...

At His Grave

...ted the chair! 

Vainly the beechen boughs have made 
A fresh green canopy of shade, 
Vainly the peacocks stray; 
While Carlo, with despondent gait, 
Wonders how long affairs of State 
Will keep his lord away. 

Here most we miss the guide, the friend; 
Back to the churchyard let me wend, 
And, by the posied mound, 
Lingering where late stood worthier feet,
Wish that some voice, more strong, more sweet, 
A loftier dirge would sound. 

At least I bring not tardy flowers:

Paradiso (Italian)

...vendetta corse
de la vendetta del peccato antico.
 E quando il dente longobardo morse
la Santa Chiesa, sotto le sue ali
Carlo Magno, vincendo, la soccorse.
 Omai puoi giudicar di quei cotali
ch'io accusai di sopra e di lor falli,
che son cagion di tutti vostri mali.
 L'uno al pubblico segno i gigli gialli
oppone, e l'altro appropria quello a parte,
s? ch'? forte a veder chi pi? si falli.
 Faccian li Ghibellin, faccian lor arte
sott'altro segno; ch? mal segue quello

Purgatorio (Italian)

...n ricida.
 Ond'io, che solo innanzi a li altri parlo,
ti priego, se mai vedi quel paese
che siede tra Romagna e quel di Carlo,
 che tu mi sie di tuoi prieghi cortese
in Fano, sì che ben per me s'adori
pur ch'i' possa purgar le gravi offese.
 Quindi fu' io; ma li profondi fóri
ond'uscì 'l sangue in sul quale io sedea,
fatti mi fuoro in grembo a li Antenori,
 là dov'io più sicuro esser credea:
quel da Esti il fé far, che m'avea in ira
assai più là che dritto non volea.
 Ma s'io...Read more of this...

The Ballad Of Soulful Sam

...eep,
And yet 'ow it's true, my brethren! -- I'd rather gamble than sleep.

I've gambled the 'ole world over, from Monte Carlo to Maine;
From Dawson City to Dover, from San Francisco to Spain.
Cards! They 'ave been me ruin. They've taken me pride and me pelf,
And when I'd no one to play with -- why, I'd go and I'd play by meself.

And Sam 'e would sit and watch me, as I shuffled a greasy deck,
And 'e'd say: "You're bound to Perdition,"
And I'd answer: "Git off me neck!"
And th...Read more of this...

The Bohemian Dreams

...l an ocean far
From Yucatan to France,
I'll bet beside the old bazaar
They dance and dance and dance.

I think of Monte Carlo, where
The pallid croupiers call,
And in the gorgeous, guilty air
The gamblers watch the ball;
And as I flick away the foam
With which my beer is crowned,
The wheels beneath the gilded dome
Go round and round and round.

I think of vast Niagara,
Those gulfs of foam a-shine,
Whose mighty roar would stagger a
More prosy bean than mine;
And as the hours I...Read more of this...

The Pigeon Shooting

...They say that Monte Carlo is
A sunny place for shady people;
But I'm not in the gambling biz,
And sober as a parish steeple.
so though this paradisal spot
The devil's playground of the rich is,
I love it and I love it not,
As men may sometimes fall for bitches.

I lazed beneath the sky's blue bliss,
The sea swooned with a sequin glimmer;
The breeze was shy as maiden kiss,
The p...Read more of this...

What shall I do -- it whimpers so

...dare -- to climb your dizzy knee --
Or -- sometimes at your side to run --
When you were willing --
Shall it come?
Tell Carlo --
He'll tell me!...Read more of this...
