See how the orient dew
  Shed from the bosom of the morn
    Into the blowing roses
      (Yet careless of its mansion new

            And in its little globe's extent
              Frames, as it can, its native element.
      - [Dew]

The inglorious arts of peace.

Ye country comets, that portend
  No war not princes' funeral
    Shining unto no other end
      Than to presage the grass's fall.

But at my back I always hear
  Time's winged chariot hurrying near.

Had we but world enough, and time,
  This coyness, lady, were no crime . . .

      Time's winged chariot hurrying near . . .

In the inglorious arts of peace.
      - Upon Cromwell's Return from Ireland
