Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The British Poets, Vol. 7 of 100: Including Translations Visions of Bellay. II. On high hills top I saw a stately frame, An hundred cubits high by just assize, With hundreth pillours fronting faire the same, All wrought with diamond after Dorick wize: Nor brick nor marble was the wall in view, But shining christall, which from top to base Out of her womb a thousand rayons threw, One hundred steps of Afrike golds enchase: Golde was the parget; and the seeling bright Did shine all scaly with great plates of golde; The floore of iasp and emeraude was dight. O worlds vainesse! Whiles thus I did behold, An earthquake shooke the hill from lowest seat, And overthrew this frame with ruine great. III. Then did a sharped spyre of diamond bright, Ten feete each way in square, appeare to mee, Justly proportion´d up unto his hight, So far as archer might his level see: The top thereof a pot did seeme to beare, Made of the mettall, which we most do honour; And in this golden vessel couched weare The ashes of a mightie Emperour: Upon foure corners of the base were pight, To beare the frame, foure great Lyons of gold; A worthy tombe for such a worthy wight. Alas this world doth nought but grievance hold! I saw a tempest from the heaven descend, Which this brave monument with flash did rend.
