# The Works of J. W. von Goethe/Volume 9/Lines on Seeing Schiller's Skull

LINES ON SEEING SCHILLER'S SKULL.
[This curious imitation of the ternary metre of Dante was written at the age of seventy -seven.]
Within a gloomy charnel-house one day I viewed the countless skulls, so strangely mated, And of old times I thought that now were gray, Close packed they stand that once so fiercely hated, And hardy bones that to the death contended Are lying crossed,—to lie for ever, fated. What held those crooked shoulder-blades suspended? No one now asks; and limbs with vigour fired, The hand, the foot—their use in life is ended. Vainly ye sought the tomb for rest when tired; Peace in the grave may not be yours; ye're driven Back into daylight by a force inspired; ​But none can love the withered husk, though even A glorious noble kernel it containèd. To me, an adept, was the writing given Which not to all its holy sense explainèd. When 'mid the crowd, their icy shadows flinging, I saw a form that glorious still remainèd. And even there, where mould and damp were clinging, Gave me a blest, a rapture-fraught emotion, As though from death a living fount were springing. What mystic joy I felt! What rapt devotion! That form, how pregnant with a godlike trace! A look, how did it whirl me toward that ocean Whose rolling billows mightier shapes embrace! Mysterious vessel! Oracle how dear! Even to grasp thee is my hand too base, Except to steal thee from thy prison here With pious purpose, and devoutly go Back to the air, free thoughts, and sunlight clear. What greater gain in life can man e'er know Than when God-Nature will to him explain How into Spirit steadfastness may flow, How steadfast, too, the Spirit-Born remain.
# The Works of J. W. von Goethe/Volume 9/Like and Like

LIKE AND LIKE.
A fair bell-flower Sprang up from the ground, And early its fragrance It shed all around; A bee came thither And sipped from its bell;— That they for each other Were made, we see well.
# The Works of Sir John Suckling in prose and verse/Detraction Execrated

DETRACTION EXECRATED
Thou vermin slander, bred in abject minds Of thoughts impure, by vile tongues animate, Canker of conversation! couldst thou find Nought but our love whereon to show thy hate? Thou never wert, when we two were alone;5 What canst thou witness then? thy base dull aid
Was useless in our conversation, Where each meant more than could by both be said. Whence hadst thou thy intelligence; from earth? That part of us ne'er knew that we did love.10 Or from the air? Our gentle sighs had birth From such sweet raptures as to joy did move. Our thoughts, as pure as the chaste morning's breath, When from the night's cold arms it creeps away, Were cloth'd in words and maiden's blush that hath15 More purity, more innocence than they. Nor from the water couldst thou have this tale: No briny tear hath furrow'd her smooth cheek; And I was pleas'd: I pray what should he ail That had her love, for what else could he seek?20 We short'ned days to moments by love's art, Whilst our two souls in amorous extasy Perceiv'd no passing time, as if a part Our love had been of still eternity. Much less could have it from the purer fire:25 Our heat exhales no vapour from coarse sense. Such as are hopes, or fears, or fond desires; Our mutual love itself did recompense. Thou hast no correspondency in heaven, And th' elemental world thou seest is free:30 Whence hadst thou then this talking, monster? even From hell, a harbour fit for it and thee. Curst be th' officious tongue that did address Thee to her ears, to ruin my content: May it one minute taste such happiness,35 Deserving lose 't, unpitied it lament! I must forbear her sight, and so repay In grief those hours joy shortened to a dram: Each minute I will lengthen to a day, And in one year outlive Methusalem.40

[Εἰ μὲν ἦν μαθεῖν]
Εἰ μὲν ἦν μαθεῖν Ἅ δεῖ παθεῖν Καὶ μὴ παθεῖν, Καλὸν ἦν τὸ μαθεῖν·
Εἰ δὲ δεῖ παθεῖν15 Ἅ δεῖ μαθεῖν, Τὶ δεῖ μαθεῖν; Χρῆ γὰρ παθεῖν·

And shun it so,
Then it were good to know:
But, if he undergo it,5 Though he know it,
What boots him know it?
He must undergo it.
# The Works of Sir John Suckling in prose and verse/If when Don Cupid's dart

1
Doth wound a heart, We hide our grief And shun relief, The smart increaseth on that score;5 For wounds unsearcht but rankle more.
2
And tell our tale, Men are in pain For us again;10 So, neither speaking doth become The lover's state, nor being dumb.
3
Then thus think I: Love is the fart10 Of every heart; It pains a man when 'tis kept close, And others doth offend when 'tis let loose.

# The Works of Sir John Suckling in prose and verse/Farewell to Love

FAREWELL TO LOVE
1
How I have lov'd you none can tell,
At least, so well
As he that now hates more
Than e'er he lov'd before.5
2
No longer must you me deceive,
Since I perceive
All the deceit, and know
Whence the mistake did grow.10
3
A false star shot to a mark'd place,
Does run apace,
And, thinking it to catch,
A jelly up does snatch:15
4
Far off, by sense and appetite,
Think that is right
And real good; when yet
'Tis but the counterfeit.20
5
Have made this new discovery!
Each wanton eye
Inflam'd before: no more
Will I increase that score.25
6
What manner of death's-head 'twill be.
When it is free
From that fresh upper skin,
The gazer's joy and sin.30
7
And studi'd method in each part,
Hangs down the hair, 't
Looks (just) as if that day
Snails there had crawl'd the hay.35
8
Hang like two master-worms to me,
That (as we see)
Have tasted to the rest
Two holes, where they like 't best.40
9
In ev'ry woman; and mine eye,
At passing by,
Checks, and is troubled, just
As if it rose from dust.45
10
These of my sins the glasses be:
And here I see
How I have loved before.
And so I love no more.50

# The Works of Sir John Suckling in prose and verse/His Dream

HIS DREAM
On a still, silent night, scarce could I number
One of the clock, but that a golden slumber
Had lockt my senses fast, and carried me
Into a world of blest felicity,
I know not how: first to a garden, where5 The apricock, the cherry, and the pear,
The strawberry, and plum, were fairer far
Than that eye-pleasing fruit that caus'd the jar
Betwixt the goddesses, and tempted more
Than fair Atlanta's ball, though gilded o'er.10 I gaz'd awhile on these, and presently
A silver stream ran softly gliding by,
Upon whose banks, lilies more white than snow
New fall'n from heaven, with violets mixt, did grow;
Whose scent so chaf'd the neighbour air, that you15 Would surely swear that Arabick spices grew
Not far from thence, or that the place had been
With musk prepar'd, to entertain Love's queen.
Whilst I admir'd, the river past away,
And up a grove did spring, green as in May20 When April had been moist; upon whose bushes
The pretty robins, nightingales, and thrushes
Warbled their notes so sweetly, that my ears
Did judge at least the musick of the spheres.
But here my gentle dream conveyed me25 Into the place where I most long'd to see,
My mistress' bed; who, some few blushes past
And smiling frowns, contented was at last
To let me touch her neck; I, not content
With that, slipt to her breast, thence lower went,30 And then—— I awak'd.
# The Works of Sir John Suckling in prose and verse/Desdain

DESDAIN
1
Et serments aux vents iettez,
Si vos amours et vos services
Me sont des importunitez.
2
Entendez jamais rien de moy,
Ne pensez nous rendre infidele,
A mi tesmoignant vostre foy.
3
Est trop plein de perfection,10 Et doublement il vous excede
De merit et d'affection.
4
Ni rompre un cordage si doux,
Ni le rompre sans perfidie,15 Ni d'estre perfide pour vous.
5
Le vous dire est vous obliger,
Pour vous faire espargner vos peines
Des vœux et du temps mesnager.20
Englished thus by the Author
1
And oaths lost in the air,
Since all your proffer'd services
To me but tortures are?
2
Set you your heart at rest:
Think not me from my faith to move,
Because you faith protest.
3
Has twice as much perfection,10 And does excel you in desert,
As much as in affection.
4
Unless I prove untrue:
Nor can I ever be so fond,15 To prove untrue for you.
5
(To tell you is a favour):
For things that may be rack your brain;
Then lose not thus your labour.20

THE UNDER-WORLD.
THE STORY OF AN EX-CROOK.
BY HENRY C. ROWLAND
A WORD OF INTRODUCTION.
Yes, my friend, you shall have the whole yarn. You don't mind an ex-crook calling you “my friend”? Thanks. I'm glad of it. You have certainly been a good friend since that day you came to see me in my cell in the Santé. And you have certainly stood my friend since. It never occurred to me that possibly you might be acquainted with John and Edith.
I want to tell you the story, because in a few hours I am going to take a dive into the Under-World; for how long I can't tell, It is very possible that I may go from there straight to Heaven. No, don't look pained. I'm not backsliding now out for any more crooked business. I'm going back to settle a score. Here I am at this moment to all appearance a gentleman, lunching at the Automobile Club as though I hadn't a cave in the world. This afternoon I am going out for a spin into the country. I want you to go with me. We will only get as far as the forest of St. Germain, when I will ask you to bring back the car. To-morrow there will be a bushy-whiskered, spectacled “prédicateur”—a sort of itinerant preacher—reading his breviary in the Parc Monceau.
It is sheer good fortune meeting you here. It is possible that our worthy “prédicateur” may need a safe asylum in a hurry. Your old studio in the garden would be perfect for that. When you have heard the story you may feel differently about it, especially as the friar ts apt to come with blood on his muzzle. You don't look startled a bit. Well, here goes, and when I have finished you can tell me, if you like, where you hide the key.

# The Works of Sir John Suckling in prose and verse/The Guiltless Inconstant

THE GUILTLESS INCONSTANT
My first love, whom all beauties did adorn,
Firing my heart, supprest it with her scorn;
Since like the tinder in my breast it lies,
By every sparkle made a sacrifice.
Each wanton eye can kindle my desire,5 And that is free to all which was entire.
Desiring more, by the desire I lost,
As those that in consumptions linger most.
And now my wand'ring thoughts are not confin'd
Unto one woman, but to womankind:10 This for her shape I love, that for her face,
This for her gesture, or some other grace:
And where that none of all these things I find,
I choose her by the kernel, not the rind:
And so I hope, since my first hope is gone,15 To find in many what I lost in one;
And, like to merchants after some great loss,
Trade by retail, that cannot do in gross.
The fault is hers that made me go astray;
He needs must wander that hath lost his way:20 Guiltless I am; she doth this change provoke,
And made that charcoal, which to her was oak,
And as a looking-glass from the aspect,
Whilst it is whole, doth but one face reflect;
But, being crackt or broken, there are grown25 Many less faces, where there was but one;
So love unto my heart did first prefer
Her image, and there placed none but her;
But, since 'twas broke and martyr'd by her scorn,
Many less faces in her place are born.30
# The Works of Sir John Suckling in prose and verse/The Metamorphosis

THE METAMORPHOSIS
The little boy, to show his might and power,
Turn'd Io to a cow, Narcissus to a flower;
Transform'd Apollo to a homely swain,
And Jove himself into a golden rain.
These shapes were tolerable, but by th' mass!5 He's metamorphos'd me into an ass.
# The Works of Sir John Suckling in prose and verse/The Stationer to the Reader

THE STATIONER TO THE READER
Among the highest and most refin'd wits of the nation, this gentle and princely poet took his generous rise from the Court, where, having flourish'd with splendour and reputation, he liv'd only long enough to see the sunset of that majesty from whose auspicious beams he derived his lustre, and with whose declining state his own loyal fortunes were obscured. But, after the several changes of those times, being sequestred from the more serene contentments of his native country, he first took care to secure the dearest and choicest of his papers in the several cabinets of his noble and faithful friends; and, among other testimonies of his worth, these elegant and florid pieces of his fancy were preserved in the custody of his truly honourable and virtuous sister, with whose free permission they were transcribed, and now published exactly according to the originals.
This might be sufficient to make you acknowledge that these are the real and genuine works of Sir John Suckling; but, if you can yet doubt, let any judicious soul seriously consider the freedom of the fancy, richness of the conceipt, proper expression, with that air and spirit diffus'd through every part; and he will find such a perfect resemblance with what hath been formerly known, that he cannot with modesty doubt them to be his.
I could tell you further (for I myself am the best witness of it), what a thirst and general inquiry hath been after what I here present you, by all that have either seen or heard of them. And by that time you have read them, you will believe me, who have, now for many years, annually published the productions of the best wits of our own and foreign nations.

POEMS
THE INVOCATION
Ye juster Powers of Love and Fate,
Give me the reason why
A lover crost
And all hopes lost
May not have leave to die.5
It is but just; and Love needs must
Confess it is his part,
When she doth spy
One wounded lie,
To pierce the other's heart.10
But yet if he so cruel be
To have one breast to hate,
If I must live
And thus survive,
How far more cruel's Fate?15
In this same state I find too late
I am; and here's the grief:
Cupid can cure,
Death heal, I'm sure,
Yet neither sends relief.20
To live or die, beg only I:
Just Powers, some end me give;
And traitor-like
Thus force me not
Without a heart to live.25
# The Works of Sir John Suckling in prose and verse/The Miracle

THE MIRACLE
If thou be'st ice, I do admire
How thou couldst set my heart on fire;
Or how thy fire could kindle me,
Thou being ice, and not melt thee;
But even my flames, light as thy own,5 Have hard'ned thee into a stone!
Wonder of love, that canst fulfil,
Inverting nature thus, thy will;
Making ice one another burn,
Whilst itself doth harder turn!10
# The Works of Sir John Suckling in prose and verse/To B. C.

TO B. C.
When first, fair mistress, I did see your face,
I brought, but carried no eyes from the place:
And, since that time, god Cupid hath me led
In hope that once I shall enjoy your bed.
But I despair; for now, alas! I find,5 Too late for me, the blind does lead the blind.
# The Works of Sir John Suckling in prose and verse/To Mr. Davenant for Absence

TO MR. DAVENANT FOR ABSENCE
Wonder not, if I stay not here:
Hurt lovers, like to wounded deer,
Must shift the place; for standing still
Leaves too much time to know our ill:
Where there is a traitor eye,5 That lets in from th' enemy
All that may supplant an heart,
'Tis time the chief should use some art.
Who parts the object from the sense,
Wisely cuts off intelligence.10 O, how quickly men must die,
Should they stand all love's battery!
Persinda's eyes great mischief do:
So do, we know, the cannon too;
But men are safe at distance still:15 Where they reach not, they cannot kill.
Love is a fit, and soon is past;
Ill diet only makes it last:
Who is still looking, gazing ever,
Drinks wine i' th' very height o' th' fever.20
