Nor let the milky fonts, that bathe your thirst,
Be your delay;

The place that calls you hence is, at the worst,
Milk all the way.

UPON THE INFANT MARTYRS.

To see both blended in one flood,
The mothers' milk, the children's blood,
Makes me doubt if Heaven will gather
Roses hence, or lilies rather.

SAMSON TO HIS DELILAH.

Could not once blinding me, cruel, suffice?
When first I look'd on thee I lost mine eyes.

UPON THE POWDER DAY.

How fit our well-rank'd feasts do follow,
All mischief comes after All-Hallow.

AQUAE IN VINUM VERSAE.

St. John ii., 1-10.

Unde rubor vestris, et non sua purpura lymphis? Quae rosa mirantes tam nova mutat aquas ? Numen, convivae, praesens agnoscite Numen: Nympha pudica Deum vidit, et erubuit.

Translation of "Aquae in Vinum Versae," by

H. KELSEY WHITE.

THE WATER TURNED INTO WINE.

Whence in your waters, say, that alien glow?
What rose new-born your 'mazèd stream hath flushed?
Some power divine, my guests, confess, is here:
The modest nymph hath seen her God, and blushed.
