Watts: An Austrian Army AN AUSTRIAN ARMY An Austrian army awfully array'd, Boldly by battery besieged Belgrade. Cossack commanders cannonading come Dealing destruction's devastating doom: Every endeavour engineers essay, For fame, for fortune fighting-furious fray! Generals 'gainst generals grapple, gracious God! How Heaven honours heroic hardihood! Infuriate—indiscriminate in ill- Kinsmen kill kindred—kindred kinsmen kill: Labour low levels loftiest, longest lines, Men march 'mid mounds, 'mid mojes, 'mid murd'rous mines: Now noisy noxious numbers notice nought Of outward obstacles, opposing ought-— Poor patriots—partly purchased—partly press'd, Quite quaking, quickly 'Quarter! quarter!' quest: Reason returns, religious right redounds, Suwarrow stops such sanguinary sounds. Truce to thee, Turkey, triumph to thy train, Unwise, unjust, unmerciful Ukraine! Vanish, vain victory! Vanish, victory vain! Why wish we warfare? Wherefore welcome were Xerxes, Ximenes, Xanthus, Xavier? Yield, yield, ye youths, ye yeomen, yield your yell: Zeno's, Zimmermann's, Zoroaster's zeal, Again attract; arts against arms appeal ! 158 ALARIC A. WATTS
Browning: The Spanish Cloister SOLILOQUY OF THE SPANISH CLOISTER Gr-r-r—there go, my heart's abhorrence! Water your damned flower-pots, do! If hate killed men, Brother Lawrence, God's blood, would not mine kill you! What? your myrtle-bush wants trimming? Oh, that rose has prior claims— Needs its leaden vase filled brimming? Hell dry you up witji its flames! At the meal we sit together: Salve tibi! 1 must hear Wise talk of the kind of weather, Sort of season, time of year: Not a plenteous cork-crop: scarcely Dare we hope oak-galls, I doubt: What's the Latin name for 'parsley'? What's the Greek name for Swine's Snout? Whew! We'll have our platter burnished, Laid with care on our own shelf! With a fire-new spoon we're furnished, And a goblet for ourself, Rinsed like something sacrificial Ere 'tis fit to touch our chaps— Marked with L. for our initial! (He, he! There his lily snaps!) Saint, forsooth! While brown Dolores Squats outside the Convent bank, With Sanchicha, telling stories, Steeping tresses in the tank, Blue-black, lustrous, thick like horsehairs, —Can't I see his dead eye glow Bright, as 'twere a Barbary corsair's? (That is, if he'd let it show!) 159
