William Watson (Уильям Уотсон)

Love’s Astrology

I know not if they erred
   Who thought to see
The tale of all the times to be,
   Star-character'd;
 I know not, neither care,
 If fools or knaves they were.

 But this I know: last night
   On me there shone
Two stars that made all stars look wan
   And shamèd quite,
 Wherefrom the soul of me
 Divined her destiny.

2. On Exaggerated Deference to Foreign Literary Opinion
3. Mensis Lacrimarum
4. England and Her Colonies
