Richard Glover Poems

Now is the season, when Vertumnus leads
Pomona's glowing charms through ripen'd groves
Of ruddy fruitage; now the loaden vine
...

The sun was set; Autarctus and his band,
In haste collected, through nocturnal shades
To small Psyttalia pass'd a narrow frith.
...

Est¢ Ar Aqhnwn Est¢ Aporqhtov Poliv:
Andrwn Gar Ontwn Erkov Estin Asfalev
...

The Persian host in readiness was held
Ere dawn; Aurora sees the signal given;
Now trumpets, clarions, timbrels mix their sounds;
...

Soft rose the morn, and still; the azure flood
In gentle volumes, undisturb'd with tides,
But heav'd by zephyrs, glaz'd the pebbled shore;
...

Th' inspiring measures close. To arms, to arms,
Innumerable mouths concurrent sound;
To arms, to arms, reply the pillar'd isles
...

Meantime while Venus from her Colian dome,
Which o'er Phaleron cast a holy shade,
Beheld the shatter'd fleet of Xerxes driv'n
...

Bright pow'r, whose presence wakens on the face
Of nature all her beauties, gilds the floods,
The crags and forests, vine-clad hills and fields,
...

O'er his own squadron soon Troezene's chief
Hath reassum'd command; the rest embark
Aboard the Delphian. Æschylus then spake:
...

Three days transport Cleander and his friends;
Timoxenus admits such welcome guests,
...
