A Century of Emblems
Blinder than bats were we,

Who sang last night to me.

Hush, O provoking cow!

The whispering notes, I vow."

O phantasy forlorn!

A scarecrow in the corn.

WE JUDGE OTHERS BY OURSELVES.

WE JUDGE OTHERS BY OURSELVES.

Here

Paved with many a purple flower,

Through the May-day's parting hour.

Lengthening shadows far and near,

Till my darling's voice I hear.

Mine who am so old and frail;

For my love's the nightingale.

[63]

[63]

THE LAY FIGURE.
