January 1795

...led gluttons dainties carving,
Genius in a garret starving.

Lofty mansions, warm and spacious ;
Courtiers clinging and voracious ;
Misers scarce the wretched heeding ;
Gallant soldiers fighting, bleeding.

Wives who laugh at passive spouses ;
Theatres, and meeting-houses ;
Balls, where simp'ring misses languish ;
Hospitals, and groans of anguish.

Arts and sciences bewailing ;
Commerce drooping, credit failing ;
Placemen mocking subjects loyal ;
Separations, weddings royal.

Jubilate Agno: Fragment B Part 1

.... 

Let Noah rejoice with Hibris who is from a wild boar and a tame sow. 

Let Abdon rejoice with the Glede who is very voracious and may not himself be eaten. 

Let Zuph rejoice with Dipsas, whose bite causeth thirst. 

Let Schechem of Manasseh rejoice with the Green Worm whose livery is of the field. 

Let Gera rejoice with the Night Hawk -- blessed are those who watch when others sleep. 

Let Anath rejoice with Rauca who inhabiteth the root of the oak.

Landscapes

...w 
Soothes the wounds made by the sun 

And of the tree and the water 
Named Oasis 
For a woman's love 

I speak of the voracious Sea 
Reclaiming shells from beaches 
Waves from children 

The faceless Sea 
Its hundreds of drowned faces 
Wrapped in seaweed 
Slippery and green 
Like creatures of the deep 

The reckless Sea, unfinished story, 
Removed from anquish 
Full of death tales 

I speak of open valleys 
Fertile at men's feet 
Overgrown with flowers 

Of captive summits ...Read more of this...

Mistress Gurtons Cat

...heard the thief,
She started from her easy chair,
And, quite unmindful of her grief,
Began aloud to swear!
"Curse that voracious beast!" she cried,
"Here SUSAN bring a cord--
I'll hang the vicious, ugly creature--
"The veriest plague e'er form'd by nature!"
And MISTRESS GURTON kept her word--
And Poor GRIMALKIN--DIED !

Thus, often, we with anguish sore
The dead , in clam'rous grief deplore;
Who, were they once alive again
Would meet the sting of cold disdain!
For FRIENDS, w...Read more of this...

Poem of Joys

...of boiling water, the lobsters shall be boil’d till their
 color
 becomes scarlet.

Or, another time, mackerel-taking, 
Voracious, mad for the hook, near the surface, they seem to fill the water for miles: 
Or, another time, fishing for rock-fish, in Chesapeake Bay—I one of the brown-faced
 crew: 
Or, another time, trailing for blue-fish off Paumanok, I stand with braced body, 
My left foot is on the gunwale—my right arm throws the coils of slender rope,
In sight around me th...Read more of this...
