Miscellaneous Verses

The Conqueror

That man whose soul bright beauty cannot pierce

With love’s sweet burning javelins from her eyes,

Nor sorrow torture his heart, nor passions fierce

Miserably over his senses tyrannize,

Conquers the world by his high-seated will,

The man well-balanced, noble, wise and still.
