R.H.S. THE' COMET 1 9 2 3 OUR POETS A POETICAL TRANSLATION Swiftly then Gossip goes forth with her scandalous tales of poor Dido- Gossip, the swiftest of all with her gigantic strides o'er the kingdom 3 Small at the first by her fear she raises herself in her daring- Gossip, the last of Earth's children, a child born to anger the godheads. Horrible monster was she, with eyes in her pinions as many as - Feathers there were on her body, all watching so closely and keenly, Tongues just as many and mouths scheeching loudly, O, marvelous story! Ears pricked up as she flies 'tween the sky and the earth in the darkness, Never does Gossip in sleep close her eyes but as sentinel, wakeful Sits on the housetops or turrets and frightens the cities with stories. False' with the truth, things done and not done, she mingles together. Now to Aeneas and beautiful Dido the tell-tale come lurking- Kingdoms neglected by lovers so heedless of winter now raggingf Eagerly Gossip did scatter this over the kings of Libya, This to larbas, the furious lover of Dido, she carried. He then, inflamed by report, taunts the father of gods in his temple. --Translated by Aline Greer from Book IV of the Aeneid. HUMILIATHA A Then the trembling English student, Passed on to the awful class room. To the room of recitation With his gaze cast downward passed he, -There he sat with fear and trembling, Vowing in the future always To remember written lessons And to kill procrastination, 4 The next time she crept upon him. Thus he sat and vowed sincerely Till the teacher in inquiry Cast his questioning glance upon him And the blood flowed ever upward, Till as bashful maiden blushed he. When the disgraced English student, Passed forth from the awful class room Shame was. written on his features: Shame and sad humiliation, As with gaze cast downward, passed he. W -Clifford Nutting.
