All Things can tempt Me

All things can tempt me from this craft of verse: 
One time it was a woman's face, or worse –
The seeming needs of my fool-driven land;
Now nothing but comes readier to the hand
Than this accustomed toil. When I was young,
I had not given a penny for song
Did not the poet sing it with such airs

That one believed he had a sword upstairs;

Yet would be now, could I but have my wish,
Colder and dumber and deafer than a fish.

– W.B. Yeats (1910)

The Lamentation of the Old Pensioner 

Although I shelter from the rain

Under a broken tree,
My chair was nearest to the fire

In every company

That talked of love or politics,
Ere Time transfigured me.

Though lads are making pikes again
For some conspiracy,
And crazy rascals rage their fill
At human tyranny;

My contemplations are of Time
That has transfigured me.

There's not a woman turns her face
Upon a broken tree,
And yet the beauties that I loved
Are in my memory;

I spit into the face of Time
That has transfigured me.

– W.B. Yeats (1893)

Incontinently after, Jupiter commanded Mercury to bring up Psyche, the spouse of Cupid, into the Pallace of heaven. And then he took a pot of immortality, and said, Hold Psyche, and drinke, to the end thou maist be immortall, and that Cupid may be thine everlasting husband. By and by the great banket and marriage feast was sumptuously prepared, Cupid sate downe with his deare spouse betweene his armes: Juno likewise with Jupiter, and all the other gods in order, Ganimedes filled the pot of Jupiter, and Bacchus served the rest. Their drinke was Nectar, the wine of the gods, Vulcanus prepared supper, the howers decked up the house with roses and other sweet smells, the graces threw about balme, the Muses sang with sweet harmony, Apollo tuned pleasantly to the Harpe, Venus danced finely: Sitirus and Paniscus plaid on their pipes: and thus Psyche was married to Cupid, and, after, she was delivered of a child whom we call Pleasure.

But Venus, the bright goddess, bearing gifts,

drew near in airy clouds; and when far off

she saw her son in a secluded valley,

withdrawn beside a cooling stream, then she

showed herself freely to him, saying this:

"You see, my son, these perfect offerings,

my husband's promised art; then do not doubt

but dare brave Turnus and the proud Laurentians

to battle." These were Cytherea's words. 

She sought her son's embraces, then set up

his glittering arms beneath a facing oak.

– Venus brings Aeneas divine weapons, from Book VIII of Virgil's Aeneid, translated by Allen Mandelbaum (1971)
