POEMS BY ISAAC ROSENBERG<br />
I think you merely mean to flatter me,<br />
You subtle knave, that, more than prince, I'm man<br />
And worth to listen to your bawdy breath.<br />
Abinoah<br />
Yet my breath was worth your mixing with.<br />
Moses<br />
A boy at college flattered so <strong>by</strong> a girl<br />
Will give her what she asks for.<br />
Abtxoah<br />
Osiris ! Burning Osiris !<br />
Of thee desirable, for thee, her hair. . . .<br />
[He looks inanely at Moses, saying to himself.]<br />
Prince Imra vowed his honey-hives and vineyards:<br />
Isis, to let a Jew have her for nothing<br />
[He sings under his breath.]<br />
Night <strong>by</strong> night in a little house<br />
A man and woman meet<br />
They look like each other,<br />
They are sister and brother ;<br />
And night <strong>by</strong> night at that same hour<br />
A king calls for his son in vain.<br />
