Algernon Charles Swinburne - Anonymous Plays: XVIIIAlgernon Charles Swinburne - Anonymous Plays: XVIII
Work rating: Low


MORE yet and more, and yet we mark not all:     The Warning fain to bid fair women heed     Its hard brief note of deadly doom and deed; The verse that strewed too thick with flowers the hall Whence Nero watched his fiery festival;     That iron page wherein men’s eyes who read     See, bruised and marred between two babes that bleed, A mad red-handed husband’s martyr fall; The scene which crossed and streaked with mirth the strife Of Henry with his sons and witchlike wife; And that sweet pageant of the kindly fiend,     Who, seeing three friends in spirit and heart made one, Crowned with good hap the true-love wiles he screened     In the pleached lanes of pleasant Edmonton.
