\nThe <\/span>Three <\/span>Cries <\/span>of <\/span>Deiphobus<\/font><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

\n <\/p>\n\n\n
 <\/td>\n\n

Awake,
\nawake, O sleeping men of Troy,
\nThat sleep and know not in the grasp of Hell <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

I
\nperish in the treacherous lonely night
\nTo <\/i>foes betrayed, environed and undone.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\nO Trojans, will ye sleep until the doom <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Have
\nslipped its leash and bark upon your doors? <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Not
\nlong will ye, unless in Pluto\u2019s realm,
\nHave slumber, since forsaken among foes
\nI drink the bitter cup of lonely death
\nUnheeded and from helping faces far.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\nO Trojans, Trojans, yet again I call!<\/span><\/p>\n

\nSwift help we need, or Ilion\u2019s days are done.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n                   <\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n  Epitaph<\/a><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n<\/span><\/b>Moulded of twilight and the
\nvesper star
\nMidnight in her with noon made quiet war;\u2014<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n

Moulded  
\n<\/span>twixt life and death, Love came between; <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Then
\nthe night fell; twilight faded, the star had been.<\/p>\n

                      
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n A Doubt<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/span><\/b>Many boons the new years
\nmake us <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

      But
\nthe old world’s gifts were three,
\nDove of Cypris, wine of Bacchus,
\n    
\n<\/span>Pan\u2019s sweet pipe in Sicily.<\/p>\n

Love, wine, song, the core of living <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

      Sweetest,
\noldest, musicalest.
\nIf at end of forward striving <\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

      These,
\nLife\u2019s first, proved also best?             <\/span><\/p>\n
