Sanious lights beyond the height, Imbosked dysodile vaults of dwale As ulexite flare in the rocks Where implex aisles lead to gyte doom, Lure illaqueate Thought to flight, And at a Cyon, chained in stall, Whom mad Medeas shore of locks, Chase Fancy's wings where hazards bloom. Here herculean dwangs of gold, Clasped in talons of Circe's son, Pry portals of Teocalli as, When hyoids blaze like sea-linkt skies, Incondite imps seek grovels cold, Unfathomed haunts that scyle each sun, We see above the lees green grass Where pixies laugh with dancing eyes,-- King Wonder's sight that holds each heart! Above the rind of Ursa's wake, Past shadows vague and sunless suns, Giant visions of the cancelléd past Rise from the void and play their part. Demeter floats around a lake; Where waters with a naiad runs, Hector's shot by Archilles' dart; Where Orestes stabs his mother, Agamemnon sleeps on in cold; Aegisthus robs a queen of all; Andromache sobs tears of woe. And Clytaemenestra's lover, Like Menelous, is strong and bold: Aeneas on a burning wall Carries Anchises from the show. Then vulgar scenes stare at each soul, Hair-raising visions greet each eye; Priam's son is dragged round ancient Troy, Tied fast to a chariot's tail; Andromeda's doomed as Death's toll; Patroclus dies with a deep sigh. Phyrrhus sacks Troy with a devilish joy; Hecuba's nineteen sons now wail As Mycenae and Tiryns are burn'd: The Scaean Gate is storm'd by Peers! Archæans and Phrygians bold Have fought with Hatred's biting lust. Telemachus whom the Fates have spurn'd, Finds Ulysses in twenty years; Thessalian Soldans in gold, Like Dædalus, slept on in dust As Penlope winged for distant zones. Then Syran airs held each ear: Bright carvels glowed with rubic wine, Giant cyphers flared each Lordling's name Within the haunts of dungeoned domes, Where jazels peer the eyes of Fear, And owls with a scorpion dine-- Twin Monarch's play the dice's game.
