TALES FROM THE BIBLE AND

THE TALMUD

Let those who will hang rapturously o'er
The flowing eloquence of Plato's page;

Repeat, with flashing eyes, the sounds that pour
From Homer's verse as with a torrent's rage;

Let those who list ask Sully to assuage

Wild hearts with high-wrought periods, and restore The reign of rhetoric; or maxims sage

Winnow from Seneca's sententious lore.

Not these, but Judah's hallowed bards, to me
Are dear: Isaiah's noble energy;

The temperate grief of Job; the artless strain
Of Ruth and pastoral Amos; the high songs
Of David; and the tale of Joseph's wrongs,
Simply pathetic, eloquently plain.

SIR AUBREY DE VERE
