Narrative Poetry Casey at the Bat
  • The outlook wasn't brilliant for the Mudville
    nine that dayThe score stood four to two, with
    but one inning more to play,And then when Cooney
    died at first, and Barrows did the same,A
    pall-like silence fell upon the patrons of the
    game.A straggling few got up to go in deep
    despair. The restClung to that hope which
    springs eternal in the human breastThey
    thought, "If only Casey could but get a whack at
    that We'd put up even money now, with Casey at
    the bat."But Flynn preceded Casey, as did also
    Jimmy Blake,And the former was a hoodoo, while
    the latter was a cakeSo upon that stricken
    multitude grim melancholy satFor there seemed
    but little chance of Casey getting to the bat.

Lyric Poetry Dust of Snow

  • Of a day I had rued.

12
Epic Poetry The Iliad
  • Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles son of
    Peleus, that
  • brought countless ills upon the Achaeans. Many a
    brave soul did
  • it send hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero
    did it yield a
  • prey to dogs and vultures, for so were the
    counsels of Jove
  • fulfilled from the day on which the son of
    Atreus, king of men,
  • and great Achilles, first fell out with one
    another.

Sonnet 018
  • Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?Thou art
    more lovely and more temperateRough winds do
    shake the darling buds of May,And summer's lease
    hath all too short a dateSometime too hot the
    eye of heaven shines,And often is his gold
    complexion dimm'dAnd every fair from fair
    sometime declines,By chance or nature's changing
    course untrimm'dBut thy eternal summer shall
    not fadeNor lose possession of that fair thou
    owestNor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his
    shade,When in eternal lines to time thou
    growestSo long as men can breathe or eyes can
    see,So long lives this and this gives life to
    thee.

Ballad Greensleeves
  • Alas, my love, you do me wrong,To cast me off
    discourteously.For I have loved you well and
    long,Delighting in your company.ChorusGreensl
    eeves was all my joyGreensleeves was my
    delight,Greensleeves was my heart of gold,And
    who but my lady greensleeves.Your vows you've
    broken, like my heart,Oh, why did you so
    enrapture me?Now I remain in a world apartBut
    my heart remains in captivity.chorusI have
    been ready at your hand,To grant whatever you
    would crave,I have both wagered life and
    land,Your love and good-will for to
    have.chorusIf you intend thus to disdain,It
    does the more enrapture me,And even so, I still
    remainA lover in captivity.
  • chorusMy men were clothed all in
    green,And they did ever wait on theeAll this
    was gallant to be seen,And yet thou wouldst not
    love me.chorusThou couldst desire no earthly
    thing,but still thou hadst it readily.Thy music
    still to play and singAnd yet thou wouldst not
    love me.chorusWell, I will pray to God on
    high,that thou my constancy mayst see,And that
    yet once before I die,Thou wilt vouchsafe to
    love me.chorusAh, Greensleeves, now farewell,
    adieu,To God I pray to prosper thee,For I am
    still thy lover true,Come once again and love
    me.

OdeOde to the Dinosaurs
  • I sing of those who failed to make the ArkWho

    skins, huge jaws, and brains the size of peas
