PEDLAR'S PACK.
"Love Is no huckster; that is mln« is Ihiue. 1 * QUARTUM SMARAGDUS. Down swings the Life-wave till it reacheth Thee, O splendent Earth, rich jewel on God's breast; And here a little space it seems to rest Before upsweeping with like ardency, In glad escape from that which once with glee It twined about itself, nor ever guessed Flowers might turn fetters; their dead weight arrest Limbs that had tript, and danced, and revelled free. Still, still Life finds Thy garlands fresh and sweet, 0 emerald Earth, nor dreameth any snare; Still her lips sing, still flash her frolio feet, While floats, a sun-kist cloud, her radiant hair: . Thou liest on God's Heart; Its maddening beat Makes Thee, dear Witch, too conqueringly fair! Marsyas.
