# The going from a world we know

The going from a world we know To one a wonder still Is like the child's adversity Whose vista is a hill, Behind the hill is sorcery And everything unknown, But will the secret compensate For climbing it alone?
# The grave my little cottage is

The grave my little cottage is, Where "Keeping house" for thee I make my parlor orderly And lay the marble tea.
For two divided, briefly, A cycle, it may be, Till everlasting life unite In strong society.

On the commencement of hostilities in America by John Newton
    The gathering clouds, with aspect dark,
    A rising storm presage;
    O! to be hid within the ark,
    And sheltered from its rage!
    See the commissioned angel frown!
    That vial in his hand,
    Filled with fierce wrath, is pouring down
    Upon our guilty land!
    Ye saints, unite in wrestling prayer;
    If yet there may be hope;
    Who knows but Mercy yet may spare,
    And bid the angel stop!
    Already is the plague begun,
    And fired with hostile rage;
    Brethren, by blood and interest one,
    With brethren now engage.
    Peace spreads her wings, prepared for flight,
    And war, with flaming sword,
    And hasty strides draws nigh, to fight
    The battles of the Lord.
    The first alarm, alas, how few,
    While distant, seem to hear!
    But they will hear, and tremble too,
    When God shall send it near.
    So thunder, o’er the distant hills,
    Gives but a murm’ring sound,
    But as the tempest spreads, it fills,
    And makes the welkin sound.
    May we, at least, with one consent,
    Fall low before the throne
    With tears the nation’s sins lament,
    The churches, and our own.
    The humble souls who mourn and pray,
    The Lord approves and knows;
    His mark secures them in the day
    When vengeance strikes his foes.
# The gleam of an heroic Act

The gleam of an heroic Act Such strange illumination The Possible's slow fuse is lit By the Imagination.
# The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift/Volume 8/The Dean's Manner of Living

THE DEAN'S MANNER OF LIVING.
ON rainy days alone I dine Upon a chick and pint of wine. On rainy days I dine alone, And pick my chicken to the bone: But this my servants much enrages, No scraps remain to save board wages. In weather fine I nothing spend, But often spunge upon a friend: Yet, where he's not so rich as I, I pay my club, and so good b'ye.
# The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift/Volume 8/The Dean and Duke

THE DEAN AND DUKE. 1734.
JAMES BRYDGES and the dean had long been friends; James is beduk'd; of course their friendship ends: But sure the dean deserves a sharp rebuke, For knowing James, to boast he knows the duke. Yet, since just Heaven the duke's ambition mocks, Since all he got by fraud is lost by stocks, His wings are clipp'd: he tries no more in vain With bands of fiddlers to extend his train. Since he no more can build, and plant, and revel, The duke and dean seem near upon a level. O! wert thou not a duke, my good duke Humphry, From bailiff's claws thou scarce could'st keep thy bum free. A duke to know a dean! go, smooth thy cr<own: Thy brother (far thy betters) wore a gown. Well, but a duke thou art; so pleas'd the king: O! would his majesty but add a string!

# The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift/Volume 8/Robin and Harry

ROBIN AND HARRY.
1730.
ROBIN to beggars with a curse, Throws the last shilling in his purse; And, when the coachman comes for pay, The rogue must call another day. Grave Harry, when the poor are pressing, Gives them a penny, and God's blessing; ​But, always careful of the main, With twopence left, walks home in rain. Robin from noon to night will prate, Run out in tongue, as in estate: And, ere a twelvemonth and a day, Will not have one new thing to say. Much talking is not Harry's vice: He need not tell a story twice: And, if he always be so thrifty, His fund may last to five and fifty. It so fell out, that cautious Harry, As soldiers use, for love must marry, And, with his dame, the ocean cross'd; (All for Love, or the World well Lost!) Repairs a cabin gone to ruin, Just big enough to shelter two in; And in his house, if any body come, Will make them welcome to his modicum. Where Goody Julia milks the cows, And boils potatoes for her spouse; Or darns his hose, or mends his breeches, While Harry's fencing up his ditches. Robin, who ne'er his mind could fix To live without a coach and six, To patch his broken fortunes, found A mistress worth five thousand pound; Swears he could get her in an hour, If gaffer Harry would endow her; And sell, to pacify his wrath, A birth-right for a mess of broth. Young Harry, as all Europe knows, Was long the quintessence of beaux; But, when espous'd, he ran the fate That must attend the married state; ​From gold brocade and shining armour, Was metamorphos'd to a farmer; His grazier's coat with dirt besmear'd; Nor twice a week will shave his beard. Old Robin, all his youth a sloven, At fifty-two, when he grew loving, Clad in a coat of paduasoy, A flaxen wig, and waistcoat gay, Powder'd from shoulder down to flank, In courtly style addresses Frank; Twice ten years older than his wife, Is doom'd to be a beau for life; Supplying those defects by dress, Which I must leave the world to guess.
# The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift/Volume 8/The Day of Judgment

THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.
WITH a whirl of thought oppress'd, I sunk from reverie to rest. A horrid vision seiz'd my head, I saw the graves give up their dead! Jove, arm'd with terrours, bursts the skies, And thunder roars, and lightning flies! Amaz'd, confus'd, its fate unknown, The world stands trembling at his throne! While each pale sinner hung his head, Jove, nodding, shook the heavens, and said: "Offending race of human kind, By nature, reason, learning, blind; You who, through frailty, stepp'd aside; And you who never fell from pride; You who in different sects were shamm'd, And come to see each other damn'd: (So some folk told you, but they knew No more of Jove's designs than you) — The world's mad business now is o'er, And I resent these pranks no more. — I to such blockheads set my wit! I damn such fools! — Go, go, you're bit."

# The difference between Despair

The difference between Despair And Fear — is like the One Between the instant of a Wreck And when the Wreck has been —
The Mind is smooth — no Motion — Contented as the Eye Upon the Forehead of a Bust — That knows — it cannot see —
# The distance that the dead have gone

The distance that the dead have gone Does not at first appear — Their coming back seems possible For many an ardent year.
And then, that we have followed them, We more than half suspect, So intimate have we become With their dear retrospect.

# Theatrical speaker/Billy Dip

billy dip.
Chloe, a maid at fifty-five, Was at her toilette dressing; Her waiting maid, with iron hot, Each paper’d curl was pressing. The looking glass her eyes engross, While Betty humm’d a ditty; She gazed so much upon her face, She really thought it pretty.
Her painted cheeks and pencil brows She could not but approve, Her thoughts on varous subjects turn’d, At length she fix’d on love: "And shall," said she, "a virgin life Await these pleasing charms? And will not sighing blooming youth Receive me to his arms?—
​Forbid it, Love! "She scarce had spoke, When Cupid laid a trap; For, at the chamber door was heard A soft and gentle rap: Cried Betty, "who is at the door?" "Aye tell," quoth Chloe, "true:" When straight a tender voice replied, "Dear ma'am I dye for you."
"What's that," she said, "O says Betty, A man! and die for me! And can I see the youth expire- Oh, no! it must not be! Haste, Betty,—open quick the door:" 'Tis done; and, lo! to view, A little man with bundle stood, In sleeves and apron blue.
"Ye Powers!" cried Chloe, "what is this? What' vision do I see? Is this the man, oh, mighty Love!— The man that dies for me?" "Yes, ma'am; your ladyship is right," The figure straight replied; "And hard for me it would have been If I had never dyed.
La! ma'am, you must have heard of me. Although I'm no highflyer; I live just by at No. 1, I'm Billy Dip, the dyer 'Twas I ma'am, Betty there employed To dye your lustering gown; And I not only dye for you. But I dye for the whole town."
