The Dæmon of the World.
FIRST PART.
Nee tantum prodere vati,
Quantum scire licet. Venit setas omms in unam
Congeriem, miserumque premunt tot saecula pectus.
Lucan Phars. L. y. L 176.
How wonderful is Death,
Death and his brother Sleep!
One pale as yonder wan and hornèd moon,
With lips of lurid blue,
The other glowing like the vital morn,
When throned on ocean's wave
It breathes over the world:
Yet both so passing strange and wonderful!
