Unsatisfied
That cannot take the whole
Body and soul';

'Take the sour
If you take me
I can scoff and lour
And scold for an hour.'
"That's certainly the case,' said he.

The grass my bed;
Naked and hidden away,
That black day';

Rev. 11:15-18. 

Let the seventh angel sound on high,
Let shouts be heard through all the sky;

Who wast, and art, and art to come:

Hymn 89

...Pursue the pleasures you design,
And cheer your hearts with songs and wine;
Enjoy the day of mirth, but know
There is a day of judgment too.

God from on high beholds your thoughts,
His book records your secret faults;

How will you stand before his face,
Or answer for his injured grace?

Almighty God! turn off their eyes

The Flight Of The Duchess

...her's sake,---
This, see, which at my breast I wear,
Ever did (rather to Jacynth's grudgment),
And ever shall, till the Day of Judgment.
And then,---and then,---to cut short,---this is idle,
These are feelings it is not good to foster,---
I pushed the gate wide, she shook the bridle,
And the palfrey bounded,---and so we lost her.

The redoubtable breast of our master the mannikin,

The Unpardonable Sin

...sage and questioner -- 
Yea, with seven seals, as he has sealed the grave. 
And if she give it to a drunken slave, 
The Day of Judgment shall not challenge her. 

Only this much: if one, deserving well, 
Touching your thin young hands and making suit, 
Feel not himself a crawling thing, a brute, 
Buried and bricked in a forgotten hell; 

Prophet and poet be he over sod, 
Prince among angels in the highest place, 
God help me, I will smite him on the face, 
Before the glory of...Read more of this...
