ANZON: THE YEARLY SLAIN (WRITTEN IN REPLY TO MANNING'S "KORÈ.") "Et huiusmodi stantiae usus est fere in omnibuscantionibus suis Arnaldus Danielis et nos eum secutisumus."DANTE, _De Vulgari Eloquio_, II. 10. I Ah! red-leafed time hath driven out the roseAnd crimson dew is fallen on the leafEre ever yet the cold white wheat be sownThat hideth all earth's green and sere and red;The Moon-flower's fallen and the branch is bare,Holding no honey for the starry bees;The Maiden turns to her dark lord's demesne.
