THE RIME OF THE ANCYENT MARINERE-1
"From the ?ends that plague thee thus--
The Albatross did follow;
"Why lookst thou so?"--with my cross bow
The Sun came up upon the left,
Till over the mast at noon--
Ne shapes of men ne beasts we ken--
The Helmsman steerd us thro.
ARGUMENT.
And Ice mast-high came ?oating by
Below the Light-house top.
For days and weeks it playd us freaks--
It crackd and growld, and roard and howld--
The wedding-guest he beat his breast,
The merry Minstralsy.
He holds him with his glittering eye--
And th99lib•netus spake on that ancyent man,
Higher and higher every day,
"God save thee, ancyent Marinere!
The wedding guest stood still
We haild it in Gods name.
I shot the Albatross.
And thro the drifts the snowy clifts
The Ice was all around:
Glimmerd the white moon-shine.
How a Ship having passed the Line was driven by Storms to the coldCountry towards the South Pole; and how from thence she made her courseto the tropical Latitude of the Great Paci?c Ocean; and of the strangethings that befell; and in what manner the Ancyent Marinere came back tohis own Country.http://www.99lib.net
The wedding-guest here beat his breast,
"Now get thee hence, thou grey-beard Loon!
The bright-eyed Marinere.
Like Chaff we drove along.
"The Bridegrooms doors are opend wide
"Marinere! come with me."
IN SEVEN PARTS.
"By thy long grey beard and thy glittering eye
For he heard the loud bassoon.
And it grew wondrous cauld:
Red as a rose is she;
Went down into the S九*九*藏*书*网ea.
The Ice was here, the Ice was there,
And an it were a Christian Soul,
It perchd for vespers nine,
As green as Emerauld.
And every day for food or play
Yet he cannot chuse but hear:
"Or my Staff shall make thee skip."
It is an ancyent Marinere,
Whiles all the night thro fog-smoke white
The bright-eyed Marinere.
"Nay, if thoust got a laughsome tale,
THE RIME OF THE ANCYENT MARINERE,
"The Guests are met, the Feast is set,--
The wedding-guest sate on a stone,
He holds九九藏书 him with his skinny hand,
"Now wherefore stoppest me?
And round and round it ?ew:
Merrily did we drop
And thus spake on that ancyent Man,
The Ship was cheerd, the Harbour cleard--
And listens like a three years child;
Nodding their heads before her goes
There was a Ship, quoth he--
I.
The Bride hath pacd into the Hall,
"And I am next of kin;
Thorough the Fog it came;
Came to the Marineres hollo!
A Wind and Tempest strong!
But still he holds the wedding-guest--
Below the Kirk, below the Hill,
He cannot http://www.99lib.netchuse but hear:
Listen, Stranger! Storm and Wind,
And he shone bright, and on the right
And a good south wind sprung up behind,
The Ice did split with a Thunder-?t;
Quoth he, there was a Ship--
Out of the Sea came he:
In mist or cloud on mast or shroud
Did send a dismal sheen;
The Ice was all between.
Like noises of a swound.
Listen, Stranger! Mist and Snow,
And he stoppeth one of three:
The Marineres gave it biscuit-worms,
At length did cross an Albatross,
The Marinere hath his will.
"Mayst hear the merry din.--
