...rave 
Before their elders; on their downy cheeks easily the blush 
Arose (it is the mark of freemen's children) as they trooped, 
Gleaming with oil, demurely home from the palaestra or the dance. 
Walk carefully, do not wake the envy of the happy gods, 
Shun Hubris. The middle of the road, the middle sort of men, 
Are best. Aidos surpasses gold. Reverence for the aged 
Is wholesome as seasonable rain, and for a man to die 
Defending the city in battle is a har...Read more of this...

...poplar branch,
Like a vessel at the launch
When its last restraint is gone.

Backwards up the mossy glen
Turned and trooped the goblin men,
With their shrill repeated cry,
"Come buy, come buy."
When they reached where Laura was
They stood stock still upon the moss,
Leering at each other,
Brother with ***** brother;
Signalling each other,
Brother with sly brother.
One set his basket down,
One reared his plate;
One began to weave a crown
Of tendrils, leaves, and rou...Read more of this...

..., all these did reinforce: 
Cornb'ry before them managed hobby-horse. 

Never before nor since, an host so steeled 
Trooped on to muster in the Tothill Field: 
Not the first cock-horse that with cork were shod 
To rescue Albemarle from the sea-cod, 
Nor the late feather-men, whom Tomkins fierce 
Shall with one breath, like thistledown disperse. 
All the two Coventrys their generals chose 
For one had much, the other nought to lose; 
Nor better choice all accidents cou...Read more of this...

...o proud
     Was I of all that marshalled crowd,
     Though the waned crescent owned my might,
     And in my train trooped lord and knight,
     Though Blantyre hymned her holiest lays,
     And Bothwell's bards flung back my praise,
     As when this old man's silent tear,
     And this poor maid's affection dear,
     A welcome give more kind and true
     Than aught my better fortunes knew.
     Forgive, my friend, a father's boast,—
     O, it out-beggars all...Read more of this...

...my philosophies-- 
And thank the Lord I am King Arthur's fool. 
Swine, say ye? swine, goats, asses, rams and geese 
Trooped round a Paynim harper once, who thrummed 
On such a wire as musically as thou 
Some such fine song--but never a king's fool.' 

And Tristram, `Then were swine, goats, asses, geese 
The wiser fools, seeing thy Paynim bard 
Had such a mastery of his mystery 
That he could harp his wife up out of hell.' 

Then Dagonet, turning on the ball of his...Read more of this...

...day; 
Yet that hearts keep us green for old kindness we prize now 
 A thousand times more!" 

XIV 

 Thus speaking, the trooped apparitions 
 Began to disband 
 And resolve them in two: 
 Those whose record was lovely and true 
Bore to northward for home: those of bitter traditions 
 Again left the land, 

XV 

 And, towering to seaward in legions, 
 They paused at a spot 
 Overbending the Race - 
 That engulphing, ghast, sinister place - 
Whither headlong they plunged, to th...Read more of this...
