MEMORABILIA
1
AR, did you once see Shelley plain,
And did he stop and speak to you?
And did you speak to him again ?
How strange it seems, and new I
2
But you were living hefore that,
And you are living after,
And the memory I started at-
My starting moves your laughter I
3
I crossed a moor with a name of its own
And a use in the world no doubt,
Yet a hand's-breadth of it shines alone
'Mid the blank miles round about-
4
For there I picked up on the heather
And there I put inside my breast
A moulted feather, an eagle-feather­
Well, I forget the rest.

ANDREA DEL SARTO
(CALLED THE" FAULTLESS PAINTER ")
BUT do not let us quarrel any more,
No, my Lucrezia; bear with me for once:
Sit down and all shall happen as you wish.
You turn your face, but does it bring your heart?
I'll work then for your friend's friend, never fear,
Treat his own subject after his own way,
Fix his own time, accept too his own price,
And shut the money into this small hand
When next it takes mine. Will it? tenderly?
