Or scorn or pity on me take,
I must the true redemption make,
I am undone tonight.
Love, in a subtle dream disguised,
Hath both my heart and me surprised,
Whom never yet be durst attempt awake;

Nor will he tell me for whose sake
He did me the delight or spite,
But leaves me to inquire
In all my wild desire
Of sleep again, who was his aid,
And sleep so guilty and afraid
And since he dares not come within my sight.

Music composed by Patrick Doyle

Who have bent destiny with deed —
Souls of the high, heroic birth,
Souls sent to poise the shaken Earth,
And then called back to God again
To make Heaven possible for men.

The Dream

   Or scorn, or pity on me take,
    I must the true relation make,
            I am undone to-night :
        Love in a subtil dream disguised,
        hath both my heart and me surprised,
    Whom never yet he durst attempt t’ awake ;
    Nor will he tell me for whose sake
            He did me the delight,
                Or spite ;
        But leaves me to inquire,
        In all my wild desire,
    Of Sleep again, who was his aid,
    And Sleep, so guilty and afraid,
As since he dares not come within my sight.

– Ben Jonson

Conscripts of the Dream

Give thanks, O heart, for the high souls
That point us to the deathless goals —
For all the courage of their cry
That echoes down from sky to sky;
Thanksgiving for the armed seers
And heroes called to mortal years —
Souls that have built our faith in man,
And lit the ages as they ran.

Ben Jonson Poems

Cupid
Beauties, have ye seen this toy,
Called love, a little boy
Almost naked, wanton, blind,
Cruel now, and then as kind?...
A Sonnet, To The Noble Lady, The Lady Mary Wroth
I that have been a lover, and could show it,
Though not in these, in rhymes not wholly dumb,
Since I exscribe your sonnets, am become
A better lover, and much better poet....
An Ode To Himself
Where dost thou careless lie,
Buried in ease and sloth?
Knowledge that sleeps doth die;
And this security,...
To John Donne
Donne, the delight of Phoebus and each Muse
Who, to thy one, all other brains refuse;
Whose every work of thy most early wit
Came forth example, and remains so yet;...
To Sir Robert Wroth
How blest art thou, canst love the countrey, Wroth,
Whether by choyce, or fate, or both!
And, though so neere the Citie, and the Court,
Art tane with neithers vice, nor sport:...

They went the way when ways were rough:
They, when the traitors had deceived,
Held the long purpose, and believed:

Held through the dark and trusted Him —
Brave souls that took the perilous trail
And felt the vision could not fail.

Lincoln, Mazzini, Lamennais,
Doing the deed that others pray;

Their brows marked with the sacred name —
The company of souls supreme,
The conscripts of the mighty Dream.
