About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text, images, or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1873. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... THE DEFEAT OF GLORY. Porphyry beams dull-rosy in their light, With architraves of alabaster cold, And column-heads expanding into slight Long arabesques of intertwisting gold; Along the ceiling runs the giant war, And Jove in lurid halo; all his hand, Poising to hurl Enceladus afar, Red with the ruin of the Titan band. So stately is the chamber, where a King, Feeble, in dim eclipse of human power, Lies, with dull orbs or slowly widening Eyelids, to stare away the vacant hour. n The couch of death is glorious where he lies; Its silver canopies forbid the rays. Sun, shine not on his pillow till he dies, -- Time's tyrant once, and emperor of days! Though all his precinct glitter to its roof, Tho' regal the surroundings of his end, No palace-floors are ever phantom-proof When shadows of a greater King ascend. The pale hours of the dawning at his bed Bend each in turn to pity him and pass, Who drave his hook in nations. Now, instead, Moans are the only edicts that he has. Alone some weary sighing in his rest Invades the calmness of his face asleep-- So, when day's beacon embers in red west, An awful rumour heaves the wailing deep. Sleep, broken thing of glory, wreck of kings, A dubious sleep of waning pulses bred; Sleep, as thou art, a scorn to living things, Derision to the dumb and patient dead! Once at thy feet great princes crawled in mire. Thy face for wonderment and worship was To these as Phoebus, helmed with early fire, Raying his intervals of ocean-glass. O faded eyes untouched with royal light, Lean lips without desire of wine or bread; O silent features folded with the night Wherein is no man's deed remembered. Thy gold is changed to dross, thy rose to weed; Thy raiment is the grave's sepulchral sheet, They push thee where no lute shall praise thy ...
