THE FOURTEENTH OLYMPIC ODE.
TO ASOPICHUS OF ORCHOMENOS, ON HIS VICTORY IN THE STADIC COURSE, GAINED IN THE SEVENTIETH OLYMPIAD.
ARGUMENT.
This ode begins with a highly poetical invocation to the Graces, guardians of Orchomenos, that they may bless the victor with their propitious influence.—The poet concludes with an address to Echo, enjoining her to carry the news of his conquest to the city of Proserpine, in order to gratify his father Cleodamus with the pleasing intelligence.
Nymphs of Cephisian streams! who reign Where generous coursers graze the plain, And rule Orchomenos the fair; Ye Graces! who with power divine Protect the ancient Minyæ's line,5 Oh listen to my humble prayer. To you the grateful bard shall raise His tribute of poetic praise; Since wisdom, beauty, splendour flow From your bright sphere to man below.10 Not without you the bless'd above Or join in banquet or in chorus move. But throned on high, your lovely train Placed near the Pythian god of day, Whose golden shafts the beams of light display,15 All the high deeds of Heaven ordain, And praise th' Olympic sire with hymns of endless love. 18
Aglaia, offspring of his might divine, Thalia and Euphrosyne, whose ear ​The songs of heaven delights to hear,20 Ye tuneful sisters, harken now to mine. As moving on, with agile state, The festal pomp we celebrate. To hymn, Asopichus, thy fame, With Lydian melodies I came;25 Since Minyas' prosperous town to thee Owes her Olympic victory. 27
Now to Persephonea's hall, Encircled by its sable wall, Haste, Echo, bear thy grateful tale30 To Cleodamus' ear; Which in illustrious Pisa's vale Announced his bright career: How in life's early bloom his son The glorious wreath of triumph won;35 Encircling with that guerdon fair, In winged grace his flowing hair. 35

THE ELEVENTH OLYMPIC ODE.
TO THE SAME AGESIDAMUS, A SUPPLEMENTARY ODE, KNOWN BY THE GREEK TITLE Τοκος, OR INTEREST.
ARGUMENT.
The poet addresses this short ode to Agesidamus, as a kind of amends for his delay in sending him the preceding,—It contains the praises of the Locri and of Agesidamus: the latter on account of his victory with the cæstus; the other for wisdom, hospitality, and fortitude.
As men, o'er ocean's paths who sail, Implore from Heaven a favouring gale, And others joy when, at their call, Showers, the clouds' humid daughters, fall; Thus too when some laborious deed 5 Is crown'd with victory's well-earn'd meed, The hero's virtues soft-toned hymns proclaim, Sure pledge that after times shall celebrate his name.
Praises like these unenvied yield The conquests of Olympia's field; 10 And such my tongue aspired to gain. But human wishes all are vain, Unless the god his aid bestow, From whom success and genius flow. Son of Archestratus! I raise 15 In thy triumphant cæstus' praise The hymn whose melody around The golden olive's wreath shall sound; ​While the melodious numbers grace The western Locrians' honour'd race. 15 20
Thither, ye muses, lead the festal train, If to that land your hallow'd footsteps stray, Ye find no rude, inhospitable swain, Who drives the stranger from his door away. But one, in wisdom's ample treasures bless'd, 25 Whose veins with all his father's valour glow; For time but steels the rugged lion's breast, Nor can the tawny fox his wiles forego. 22

# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/Leaders of Men

LEADERS OF MEN
WHEN they are dead, we heap the laurels high Above them where, indifferent, they lie: We join their deeds to unaccustomed praise, And crown with garlands of immortal bays Whom, living, we but thought to crucify.
As mountains seem less glorious viewed too nigh, So, often, do the great whom we decry Gigantic loom to our astonished gaze— When they are dead;
For, shamed by largeness, littlenesses die; And partisan and narrow hates put by, We shrine our heroes for the future days; And to atone our ignorant delays With fond and emulous devotion try,— When they are dead!
# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/Leave-Taking

LEAVE-TAKING
THOUGH hence I go—though with the fading day I seem to fade away, Like to a primrose which beguiling Spring, Too early fanning with perfumèd wing, Tempts, only to betray:
Though soon I sleep,—yet sorrow not, nor fear That you shall lose me, dear! For not one cherished memory— One single yearning of your heart for me, Shall fail to bring me near!
How strange could death divide who, living, share All happiness and care! Still as you gaze, bereft of your desire, On the dull embers of your lonely fire, You shall behold me there,
And though through hiemal glooms you sometimes learn To doubt, nor hope discern,— ​Yet when the timid firstling buds awake, And birds come back and sing, your heart to break,— Always, I shall return!
# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/Love, Dost Thou Smile ?

LOVE, DOST THOU SMILE?
LOVE, dost thou smile, believing thou shalt cheat The triform Fates, because thou art so sweet? Thy beauty, which delights and makes afraid, Shall surely as the rose of autumn fade, And pain and grief shall find thee, and slow scorn; And thou shalt know neglect, and friendship hollow; And at the last, pale hope, thy light of morn, Shall bring thee to a goal where none will follow.
Love, dost thou weep—in all the sorrowing earth, Thou the one only thing of perfect worth? Midnight and morn alike to thee belong; Poor, thou art rich; defenceless, thou art strong; Upon thy altar burns perpetual fire That mounts and flames aloft to heaven's high portal; Thou quickenest, from evil, pure desire,— Triumphant in defeat, in death immortal!
# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/L'Amour Fait Peur

L'AMOUR FAIT PEUR
A COWARD is man, yet a hero Whose will overmasters his fear, Till peril no longer appals him, And danger itself groweth dear. Poised and strong, asking no intervention, He hazards the rock and the shoal; One only thing halts his pretension,— Love frightens the soul.
Self-disciplined, slowly but surely, Disaster accustomed to brave, He makes a companion of sorrow, Nor falters at threat of the grave; Nay, often would hold it at nearer Approach, a beneficent goal— But, ah! with the thought of one dearer, Love frightens the soul!
# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/Le Grand Salut

First published in The Athenaeum (28 July 1906)
LE GRAND SALUT
"Major Dreyfus, in the name of the Republic and of the people of France, I proclaim you a knight of the Legion of Honour."
THERE is a power in innocence, a might Which, clothed in weakness, makes injustice vain: A strength, o'ertopping reason to explain, Which bears it—though deep-buried out of sight— Slowly and surely upward to the light: A conscious certainty amidst its pain That, robbed of all things, it shall all regain, Through that eternal law which guards the right.
O Dreyfus! Thy dear country has restored More than thine honour in her hour supreme. Noble indeed, though able so to err, God spared thee to her that she might redeem Herself, and hand thee back thy blameless sword. Listen! the world salutes—not only thee, but her!
# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/Longing

LONGING
THE lilacs blossom at the door, The early rose Whispers a promise to her buds, And they unclose.
There is a perfume everywhere, A breath of song, A sense of some divine return For waiting long.
Who knows but some imprisoned joy From bondage breaks,— Some exiled and enchanted hope From dreams awakes?
Who knows but you are coming back To comfort me For all the languor and the pain, Persephone?
O come! For one brief spring return, Love's tryst to keep; Then let me share the Stygian fruit, The wintry sleep!
# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/Love Conquers Death

LOVE CONQUERS DEATH
LOVE conquers Death by night and day, Beguiles him long of his destined prey; And when, at last, that seems to perish Which he hath striven still to cherish, Love plucks the soul from the fallen clay.
Death is not master, but Love's slave, He smites the timid and the brave; Yet as he fares, with sweet low laughter, Love, the sower, follows after, Scattering seed in each new-made grave!
# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/Love Has No Foes

LOVE HAS NO FOES
LOVE has no foes; where'er he goes Conditions full of mildness meet, And amber honey-cells are filled, And little birds begin to build, And blossoms gather at his feet,— Love is so sweet!
Love has no foes; the folded rose That answering his smile's caress Blows into beauty,—with its heart All bruised to fragrance by his art, To every breeze doth still confess His loveliness!
Love has no foes: who only knows What Love hath been when Love is fled,— E'en he, bereft, would follow him Unto the voiceless caverns dim Of the wan city of the Dead, And share his bed!
# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/Lament of Brünhilde

LAMENT OF BRÜNHILDE
MIDST rejoicings I have wept, And in hours when others slept, I have looked on Horror's face, In this place. Now midst wailings I alone Hush the voice of mortal sorrow, Gaze on thee, again mine own!— Fear no parting for the morrow.
For we meet, love, as before, By a flame-encircled shore. Thou once more hast stemmed the tide, To thy bride; And I wake at thy command From my agony of dreaming, And thy ring is on my hand, And I feel its clasp redeeming!
Heart to heart again responds, Death asunder rends my bonds, From long exile sets me free,— Gives me thee! ​And submissive to his will, With a rapture that betrays not, Siegfried, I embrace thee still, And the wrath of gods dismays not!
Ah, they pitied not my pain! Merciless, they saw thee slain,— Smiling though the cruel dart Pierced my heart,— But with glory none shall dim Thou hast passed the dreaded portal, And I bless the will of Him Who, in anger, made me mortal!
I shall rest, when Odin, late, Mourns forlorn Brünhilde's fate: Mourns her truth, dishonor made— Faith betrayed; For the Nornen ne'er forget; In their awful hands they hold him, And as my spent sun shall set; Glooms eternal shall infold him.
Changeless guardians who keep Watch and ward, shall give me sleep, ​When hot tears—not mine—are shed For thee, my dead! When thy foes in vain repent, Hopeless, for thy ruin languish, When Valhalla's towers are rent In remembrance of my anguish!...
Godlike hero, thou and I Loved as none should love who die! Dost thou call? Thy funeral pyre, Kindling higher, Weds me to my destiny. Bridegroom! lover! last desire! Thou who crossed the flames to me!— Swift to thee I mount through fire!
# Poems (Coates 1916)/Volume II/Last Night I Dreamed

LAST NIGHT I DREAMED
LAST night I dreamed, mine enemy, That you were at my side, As in the days ere coldness came Our spirits to divide.
You smiled again with cordial eyes And simple heart elate, As in the happy olden time That nothing knew of hate,
And I forgot, in converse glad, The bitterness since then, And nearer to my thought you seemed— Dearer—than other men;
For memory, with softened touch Of pity, that caressed, Made every kindness glow more bright,— And blotted out the rest.
Last night from dreams, mine enemy, I woke in tears, and knew The soul, apart from mortal strife, Has naught with hate to do.

BOOK SECOND.
Chap. I.
ON MAGNETICK Motions.
ivers things concerning opinions about the magnet-stone, and its variety, concerning its poles and its known faculties, concerning iron, concerning the properties of iron, concerning a magnetick substance common to both of these and to the earth itself, have been spoken briefly by us in the former book. There remain the magnetical motions, and their fuller philosophy, shown and demonstrated. These motions are incitements of homogeneal parts either among themselves or toward the primary conformation of the whole earth. Aristotle admits only two simple motions of his elements, from the centre and toward the centre; of light ones upward, heavy ones downward; so that in the earth there exists one motion only of all its parts towards the centre of the world,—a rude and inert precipitation. But what of it is light, and how wrongly it is inferred by the Peripateticks from the simple motion of the elements, and also what is its heavy part, we will discuss elsewhere. But now our inquiry must be into the causes of other motions, depending on its true form, which we have plainly seen in our magnetick bodies; and these we have seen to be present in the earth and in all its homogenic parts also. We have noticed that they harmonize with the earth, and are bound up with its forces. Five movements or differences of motions are then observed by us: Coition (commonly called attraction), the in​citement to magnetick union; Direction towards the poles of the earth, and the verticity and continuance of the earth towards the determinate poles of the world; Variation, a deflexion from the meridian, which we call a perverted movement; Declination, a descent of the magnetick pole below the horizon; and circular motion, or Revolution. Concerning all these we shall discuss separately, and how they all proceed from a nature tending to aggregation, either by verticity or by volubility. Jofrancus Offusius makes out different magnetick motions; a first toward a centre; a second toward a pole at seventy-seven degrees; a third toward iron; a fourth toward loadstone. The first is not always to a centre, but exists only at the poles in a straight course toward the centre, if the motion is magnetick; otherwise it is only motion of matter toward its own mass and toward the globe. The second toward a pole at seventy-seven degrees is no motion, but is direction with respect to the pole of the earth, or variation. The third and fourth are magnetick and are the same. So he truly recognizes no magnetick motion except the Coition toward iron or loadstone, commonly called attraction. There is another motion in the whole earth, which does not exist towards the terrella or towards its parts; videlicet, a motion of aggregation, and that movement of matter, which is called by philosophers a right motion, of which elsewhere.

CHAP. X.
Magnetick Meridians of the Earth.
eridians have been thought out by the geographer, by means of which he might both distinguish the longitude and measure the latitude of each region. But the magnetick meridians are infinite, running in the same direction also, through fixed and opposite limits on the æquator, and through the poles themselves. On them also the magnetick latitude is measured, and declinations are reckoned from them; and the fixed direction in them tends to the poles, unless it varies from some defect and the magnetick is disturbed from the right way. What is commonly called a magnetick meridian is not really magnetick, nor is it really a meridian, but it is understood to pass through the termini of the variation on the horizon. The variation is a depraved deviation from a meridian, nor is it fixed and constant in various places on any meridian.

CHAP. XI.
Parallels.
n parallel circles the same strength and equal power are perceived everywhere, when various magneticks are placed on one and the same parallel either on the earth or on a terrella. For they are distant from the poles by equal intervals and have equal tendencies of declination, and they are attracted and held, and they come together with like forces; just as those regions which are situated under the same parallel, even if they differ in longitude, yet we say possess the same quantity of daylight and a climate equally tempered.

CHAP. VI.
Loadstone attracts the ore of iron, as well as iron proper, smelted and wrought.
*rincipal and manifest among the virtues of the magnet, so much and so anciently commended, is the attraction of iron; for Plato states that the magnet, so named by Euripides, allures iron, and that it not only draws iron rings but also indues the rings with power to do the same as the stone; to wit, draw other rings, so that sometimes a long chain of iron objects, nails or rings is formed, some hanging from others. The best iron (like that which is called acies from its use, or chalybs from the country of the Chalybes) is best and strongly drawn by a powerful loadstone; whereas the less good sort, which is impure, rusty, and not thoroughly purged from dross, and not wrought in second furnaces, is more feebly drawn; and yet more weakly when covered and defiled with thick, greasy, and sluggish humours. It also draws ores of iron, those that are rich and of iron colour; the poorer and not so productive ores it does not attract, except they be prepared with some art. A loadstone loses some attractive virtue, and, as it were, pines away with age, if exposed too long to the open air instead of being laid in a case with filings or scales of iron. Whence it should be buried in such materials; for there is nothing that plainly resists this exhaustless virtue which does not destroy the form of the body, or corrode it; not even if a thousand adamants were conjoined. Nor do I consider that there is any such thing as the Theamedes, or that it has a power opposite to that of the loadstone. Although Pliny, that eminent man and prince of compilers (for it is what others had seen and discovered, not always or mainly his own observations, that he has handed down to posterity) has copied from others the fable now made familiar by repetition: That in India there are two mountains near the river Indus; the nature of one being to hold fast all that is iron, for it consists of loadstone; the other's nature being to repel it, for it consists of the Theamedes. Thus if one had iron nails in one's boots, one could not tear away one's foot on the one mountain, nor stand still on the other. Albertus Magnus writes that a loadstone had been found in his day which with one part drew to itself iron, and repelled it with its other end; but Albertus observed the facts badly; for every loadstone attracts with one end iron that has been touched with a loadstone, and drives it away with the other; and draws iron that been touched with a loadstone more powerfully than iron that has not been so touched.

CHAP. IX.
Iron ore attracts iron ore.
rom various substances iron (like all the rest of the metals)* is extracted: such substances being stones, earth, and similar concretions which miners call veins because it is in veins, as it were, that they are generated. We have spoken above of the variety of these veins. If a properly coloured ore of iron and a rich one (as miners call it) is placed, as soon as mined, upon water in a bowl or any small vessel (as we have shown before in the case of a loadstone), it is attracted by a similar piece of ore brought near by hand, yet not so powerfully and quickly as one loadstone is drawn by another loadstone, but slowly and feebly. Ores of iron that are stony, cindery, dusky, red, and several more of other colours, do not attract one another mutually, nor are they attracted by the loadstone itself, even by a strong one, no more than wood, or lead, silver, or gold. Take those ores and burn, or rather roast them, in a moderate fire, so that they are not suddenly split up, or fly asunder, keeping up the fire ten or twelve hours, and gently increasing it, then let them grow cold, skill being shown in the direction in which they are placed: These ores thus prepared a loadstone will now draw, and they now show a mutual sympathy, and when skilfully arranged run together by their own forces.

CHAP. XII.
The Magnetick Horizon.
orizon is the name given to the great circle, separating the things which are seen from those which are not seen; so that a half part of the heaven always is open and easily seen by us, half is always hidden. This seems so to us on account of the great distance of the star-bearing orbe: yet the difference is as great as may arise from the ratio of the semi-diameter of the earth compared with the semi-diameter of the starry heaven, which difference is in fact not perceived by our senses. We maintain, however, that the magnetick horizon is a plane level throughout touching the earth or a terrella in the place of some one region, with which plane the semi-diameter, whether of the earth or of the terrella, produced to the place of the region, makes right angles on every side. Such a plane is to be considered in the earth itself and also in the terrella, for magnetick proofs and demonstrations. For we consider the bodies themselves only, not the general appearances of the world. Therefore not with the idea of outlook (which varies with the elevations of the lands), but taking it as a plane which makes equal angles with the perpendicular, we accept in magnetick demonstrations a sensible horizon or boundary, not that which is called by Astronomers the rational horizon.

CHAP. XIII.
On the Axis and Magnetick Poles.
et the line be called the axis which is drawn in the earth (as in a terrella) through the centre to the poles. They are called πόλοι by the Greeks from πολεῖν, to turn, and by the Latins they are also called Cardines or Vertices; because the world rotates and is perpetually carried around them. We are about to show, indeed, that the earth and a terrella are turned about them by a magnetick influence. One of them in the earth, which looks towards the Cynosure, is called Boreal and Arctic; the other one, opposite to this, is called Austral and Antarctic. Nor do these also exist on the earth or on a terrella for the sake of the turning merely; but they are also limits of direction and position, both as respects destined districts of the world, and also for correct turnings among themselves.
