Endymion: Book III

...ny. Attend!
For thou hast brought their promise to an end.

 "In the wide sea there lives a forlorn wretch,
Doom'd with enfeebled carcase to outstretch
His loath'd existence through ten centuries,
And then to die alone. Who can devise
A total opposition? No one. So
One million times ocean must ebb and flow,
And he oppressed. Yet he shall not die,
These things accomplish'd:--If he utterly
Scans all the depths of magic, and expounds
The meanings of all motions, shapes, and soun...Read more of this...

Had I The Power That Have The Will

...HAD I the power that have the will,
The enfeebled will - a modern curse -
This book of mine should blossom still
A perfect garden-ground of verse.

White placid marble gods should keep
Good watch in every shadowy lawn;
And from clean, easy-breathing sleep
The birds should waken me at dawn.

Throughout these gracious paths of mine

Foe not informidable! exempt from wound, 
I not; so much hath Hell debased, and pain 
Enfeebled me, to what I was in Heaven.

Addressed his way: ...Read more of this...

The Female Vagrant

...ear a thousand homes I stood,  And near a thousand tables pined, and wanted food.   By grief enfeebled was I turned adrift,  Helpless as sailor cast on desert rock;  Nor morsel to my mouth that day did lift,  Nor dared my hand at any door to knock.  I lay, where with his drowsy mates, the cock  From the cross timber of an out-house hung;  How dismal tolled, that night, the city clock! ...Read more of this...
