THE THREE ROSES1

WHEN the buds began to burst,
Long ago, with Rose the First,
I was walking; joyous then
Far above all other men,
Till before us up there stood
Britonferry's oaken wood,
Whispering, "Happy as thou art,
Happiness and thou must part.”
Many summers have gone by
Since a Second Rose and I

(Rose from that same stem) have told
This and other tales of old.
She upon her wedding-day

Carried home my tenderest lay:

From her lap I now have heard
Gleeful, chirping, Rose the Third,
Not for her this hand of mine

Rhyme with nuptial wreath shall twine;
Cold and torpid it must lie,

Mute the tongue and closed the eye. 1858.

LATELY OUR SONGSTERS LOITERED IN GREEN LANES

LATELY our songsters loiter'd in green lanes,

Content to catch the ballads of the plains;

I fancied I had strength enough to climb

A loftier station at no distant time, And might securely from intrusion doze Upon the flowers thro' which Ilissus flows.

1 See pages 428 and 441. "Rose the Third" was the daughter of "the Second Rose," and thus the grand-niece of Rose Aylmer.

Hippolyta. And for what? To die disgraced.

Strong as thou art, yet thou art not so

Regal.

Hippolyta. Am I a child? Give me my own,

And keep for weaker heads thy diadems.

Thermodon I shall never see again, Brightest of rivers, into whose clear depth

My mother plunged me from her warmer breast,

And taught me early to divide the waves With arms each day more strong, and soon to chase

And overtake the father swan, nor heed
His hoarser voice or his uplifted wing.
Where are my sisters? are there any left?
Theseus.
I hope it.
Hippolyta. And I fear it: theirs may

be

A fate like mine; which, O ye Gods, forbid!

Theseus. I pity thee, and would assuage thy grief.

Hippolyta. Pity me not: thy anger I could bear.

Theseus. There is no place for anger where thou art.

Commiseration even men may feel
For those who want it: even the fiercer

beasts

Lick the sore-wounded of a kindred

race,
