  1. [Imitated] From Propertius. Lib: 2: Eleg: 1.  (21 results)
              1    You ask why thus my loves I still rehearse,
              3    From Cynthia all that in my numbers shines;
              4    She is my genius, she inspires the lines;
              6    She tunes my easy rhyme and gives the lay to flow.
            14    That the soft subject of my song I make,

            22    She half accepts and half rejects my fires;
            24    And struggles to elude my longing eyes;
            32    My feeble voice to sound the victor's praise,
            36    No mountain-structures in my verse should rise;
            42    And thou, Maecenas, be my second care;
            63    Nor thou my gentle calling disapprove:
            68    To Cynthia all my wishes I confine;
            69    Or if, alas! it be my fate to try
            71    But she, the mistress of my faithful breast,
            76    Ah! let her ever my desires control.
            78    From her loved door may my pale corse be borne.
            87    The hand that can my captive heart release
            99    When then my fates that breath they gave shall claim,
          101    A little verse, my all that shall remain,
          105    Then to my quiet urn awhile draw near,

  2. [Translation from Dante, Inferno Canto xxxiii 1-78]  (19 results)
              6    My inmost heart? Yet if the telling may
            11    Sent hither; but a Florentine my ear,
            15    My wrongs and from them judge of my revenge.
            27    Prophetic of my woes with direful hand
            34    Amain, my deadly foes, headed by this
            42    My children (they were with me) sleep as yet
            46    Or thou dost mourn to think what my poor heart
            52    And fastening bolts. Then on my children's eyes
            53    Speechless my sight I fixed, nor wept, for all
            55    They wept; and first my little dear Anselmo
            62    My sons, and in four faces saw my own
            69    My struggling sorrow, nor to heighten theirs.
            73    When Gaddo, at my feet outstretched, imploring
            74    In vain my help, expired; ere the sixth morn
            75    Had dawned, my other three before my eyes
            79    Hunger had reft my eyesight), often calling

          105    Of our imperial house. [Cannot my nod]
          114    Have not forgot [my] sire: the eye of Rome
          119    My great revenge shall rise; or say we sound
          154    These hated walls that seem to mock my shame,
          156    My thought aches at him; not the basilisk
          168    My guilt, the blacker his ingratitude.
          173    If from the realms of night my voice ye hear,
          175    Accept my vengeance. Though by me ye bled,
          176    He was the cause. My love, my fears for him,
          177    Dried the soft springs of pity in my heart,
          179    Yet if your injured shades demand my fate,
          188    Dispel, my fair, with smiles, the timorous cloud
