00:00:03.110 - 00:00:17.220

Ladies gentlemen, University Extension, the University of Delaware presents Robert Hill, you're American poet program

00:00:17.220 - 00:00:29.280

will begin with a few Elizabethan poems. The first one will be a madrigal. And under service it's very gay. But it is to an extent the dance of death

00:00:29.280 - 00:00:36.390

because you can see that the plague was behind it. It's a very strange poem. Hey, Naughty know manifolds that wish to

00:00:36.390 - 00:00:44.480

die is not fine to dance and sing when the bells of death during is not find swim and wine and 10

00:00:44.480 - 00:00:59.990

upon the towel and saying, Hey Naughty now, when winds blow and sees flow, Hainan in, out and in Lehi mode.

00:00:59.990 - 00:01:17.620

You have the lovely lyric of Shakespeare. Sweden, Twente, which begins there, a gala. And then you have that idea of the passing of time,

00:01:17.620 - 00:01:25.910

which is a frequent in poetry. Or mistress mine where you roaming of stay and hay or true love's coming.

00:01:25.910 - 00:01:35.180

They can sing both high and low. Credit. No further, pray sweeping, Jenny's end, another's meeting. Every wise man, Sanders,

00:01:35.180 - 00:01:46.360

now, what is love? Does not hereafter peasant man hath present laughter. What's to come is still unsure.

00:01:46.360 - 00:02:02.910

In delay the Allies now plantae then come kiss me, sweet. And 20 youth, this stuff will not endure. And now I'll read a DEJ.

00:02:02.910 - 00:02:16.640

By the late, there's beef and poet John Webster in glioma moon. Call for the robin red breast and the wren. Since all shady grows,

00:02:16.640 - 00:02:24.440

I hover and leaves and flowers do cover the friendless bodies. Van buried men. Call on to his funeral.

00:02:24.440 - 00:02:34.130

Do they add the field mouse and the mole to read him helix that show keep him warm. And when gay tombs are

00:02:34.130 - 00:02:44.350

robbed, sustain no harm. But keep the will. Then that's phos to men for with his nails, he'll dig them up again.

00:02:44.350 - 00:02:54.250

Charles lamb set of that, that it was of the essay, just as the following DEJ by Shakespeare from the Tempest is of the water.

00:02:54.250 - 00:03:03.880

Water a full fathom. Five, thy father lies of his bones are Carl made. Those pills were his eyes.

00:03:03.880 - 00:03:17.230

Nothing else in the fade. But it's suffer a sea change into something rich and strange. Sea nymphs. Al a ring his now ding dong Ha,

00:03:17.230 - 00:03:32.820

ha them. Ding dong bell. You can hear the very swing of the sea and that one. Now I'm going to turn to an old ballad.

00:03:32.830 - 00:03:42.950

One of the best and most famous of the balance the authors are unknown. They were handed down by word of mouth. There's a great deal of

00:03:42.950 - 00:03:49.910

magic and the account. And then this is the Ballad of Thomas the Reimer. There are many interesting things in it.

00:03:49.910 - 00:03:55.310

In the first place when Thomas meets the queen, a fairy land, he greets her as the Virgin Mary.

00:03:55.310 - 00:04:03.170

But none of these cell, this creatures can listen to Holy Names, and therefore she's very frightened when he mentioned the Virgin

00:04:03.170 - 00:04:09.200

Mary and she says quick, they don't call me that. So then they go into the magic country and she shows

00:04:09.200 - 00:04:22.100

him three roads, 0100 to righteousness. Nobody looks out for that. And one is the road of wickedness. And that's broad and straight.

00:04:22.100 - 00:04:31.070

Everybody loves to go on that. And then is the road to F land. And of course, the fairies having no cells cannot sin.

00:04:31.070 - 00:04:40.480

And therefore, they can't be redeemed either, so they're neither good nor evil. There's a lot of humor in this. Valid to as when

00:04:40.480 - 00:04:51.100

the queen tells him that he can never lie. And he says, how can I make love or do any trading them? But it's a very haunted poem.

00:04:51.100 - 00:04:58.270

True? Thomas Leon Huntley bank a fairly, he spied with the z. And there he saw a lady bright

00:04:58.270 - 00:05:09.560

come riding down with alien tree. Her skirt was the grass green silk, a mantle of the valid fine. At LCA, terracotta horses mane on

00:05:09.560 - 00:05:20.150

50 cell the bells and 9 to Thomas, he pulled off his cat and loud it low down on his knee. Hail to the Mary Queen of Heaven.

00:05:20.150 - 00:05:30.080

Life here on earth could never be. Oh, no, oh no, Thomas, she said, that name does not belong to me. I'm the queen of fair elf land and have

00:05:30.080 - 00:05:38.360

him come to visit the hop and cop Thomas. She said hop and cop along with me. And if he dare case my lips. Sure.

00:05:38.360 - 00:05:45.770

Of your body, I will be the tide me, we'll be tied me. Wow, that weird. She'll never Danton may,

00:05:45.770 - 00:05:54.260

since he has kissed her rosy lips all underneath the alien tree. Now you must go with me. She said to Thomas, you must go with me.

00:05:54.260 - 00:06:04.940

And you must assume is seven years through, we'll allow a chance to be. She's mounted on her milk white steed. She's taken to Thomas up behind.

00:06:04.940 - 00:06:14.060

And a, when a bridal rang, the steam gage swifter than the wind. Oh, they, radon and father on the steed gauge,

00:06:14.060 - 00:06:24.220

swifter than the wind. Until I reached the desert wide. The living land was left behind. Light down, down Now True, Thomas.

00:06:24.220 - 00:06:35.290

And lean your head upon my knee. A baggy their little space. And I will show you fail S3. Oce not yon narrow road.

00:06:35.290 - 00:06:46.430

So thick beset with thorns and Brian's, that is the path of righteousness. There laughter it, but few inquires. And C not yon braid,

00:06:46.430 - 00:06:57.530

braid road that lies across the lily 11. That is the path of wickedness, though some call it the road to heaven. And C naught Yun been

00:06:57.530 - 00:07:09.920

a road that wines about the fan, a ray. That is the road to fare out of land where thou and I this night must guy. But Thomas, he shall hold your tongue.

00:07:09.920 - 00:07:21.220

Whatever you may hear or see. For speaking, we're in alpha and land. Yael now when back your own country or they radon and father on.

00:07:21.220 - 00:07:31.900

And they waited reversible money. And they saw on either sun or moon. But I heard the roaring of the sea. It was mere make night.

00:07:31.900 - 00:07:42.350

There was no starlight. They waded through red blood to the knee. For all a blood shed on it runs through the springs of that country.

00:07:42.350 - 00:07:50.870

Sin. They came to a garden green and she pulled an apple from the tree. Take this fly wages, true, Thomas,

00:07:50.870 - 00:08:00.100

it will give me the tongue that can never leave. My tongue is my aim to Thomas, he said, a goodly gift you would give to me.

00:08:00.100 - 00:08:13.780

I ne, they could die us ever sell at fair are traced where I might be. I adopt not neither speak to prints out there nor ask of grace from Fair Lady.

00:08:13.780 - 00:08:25.960

Now hold IP's Thomas. She said for as I say, cell must be. He has gotten a code with even thought. And a pair of shown

00:08:25.960 - 00:08:39.220

the velvet green until seven years were gone and passed through Thomas on a, was never seen. The incantation of such a poem.

00:08:39.220 - 00:08:52.760

Many modern poets have tried to catch again, some successfully though a different means. One of the most famous modern poems having to do

00:08:52.760 - 00:09:09.060

with the magic, the ALK account. The other worldly is Walter dilemma. As listeners. This is a very strange poem.

00:09:10.750 - 00:09:21.110

Is there anybody? There's the traveler knocking on the door and his horse in silence, champ, the grasses of

00:09:21.110 - 00:09:30.110

the forests find a flaw. And a bird threw up out of the terra about the travelers head. And he smote upon the door

00:09:30.110 - 00:09:38.080

again a second time. Is there anybody there? He said. But no undescended to the traveler.

00:09:38.080 - 00:09:48.400

Now had finally fringed cell, leaned over and looked into his gray eyes where he stood perplexed and still.

00:09:48.400 - 00:09:59.630

But only a host to Phantom listeners. Dwelt in alone house, then stood listening in the quiet of the moonlight to that voice from

00:09:59.630 - 00:10:08.180

the world of men stood throwing the faint moon beams on the dark stair that goes down to the empty hall.

00:10:08.180 - 00:10:19.000

Hearkening and an a instead and shaken by the lonely travelers call. And he felt in his heart that strangeness, that stillness.

00:10:19.000 - 00:10:28.880

Answering his cry file is Hoss moved cropping. The doctor needs to start and leave the sky for

00:10:28.880 - 00:10:40.840

a suddenly smoke on the door even louder and lifted his head. Tell him I came and no one answered that I kept my word.

00:10:40.840 - 00:10:54.840

He said, nevertheless, stem a, the listeners. Though every word he spake, fell echoing through the shadow anus of the still house from the one man left awake.

00:10:54.840 - 00:11:05.650

Eye. The head is for upon this terror and the sound of ion on stone. And how the silence said softly

00:11:05.650 - 00:11:18.980

backward when the plunging hoofs are gone. I'll conclude with one more valid. John Keats is bell them some AFC which is very

00:11:18.980 - 00:11:28.370

like the moon to Thomas. Or what can ALE United arms alone and paler lawyering the sedges with it from the lake.

00:11:28.370 - 00:11:37.130

And no birds saying, Oh what canal, the United arms. So haggard and so Wobegon. The squirrel's granary is

00:11:37.130 - 00:11:47.030

full and the harvests done. I see a lily and eyebrow with anguish, moist and fever, dew. And on the cheek a fading

00:11:47.030 - 00:11:56.360

rose fast, whether it's two. I met a lady and needs for beautiful various child. Her hair is long,

00:11:56.360 - 00:12:05.690

her foot was like and her eyes were wild. I made a gallon for her head and bracelets to and fragrant zone. She looked at me and she did

00:12:05.690 - 00:12:14.690

love and made sweet moan. I set her on my pacing steed and nothing else. So all day long for sideways

00:12:14.690 - 00:12:25.310

which she lean and singer fair a song. She found me roots have relish, sweet, and honey while and manner do you ensure and language strain.

00:12:25.310 - 00:12:34.700

She said, I love the true. She took me to a alpha1 Groton ASU, wept insightful, saw. And there I shot her wild,

00:12:34.700 - 00:12:43.250

wild eyes with cases for and there she landed me asleep. There I dreamed over tied the latest dream I ever

00:12:43.250 - 00:12:52.670

dreamed on the cold hillside. I saw pale kings and princes to pay a warrior's death tail where they all who cried.

00:12:52.670 - 00:13:03.590

La Belle Dam, some MC have the enthralled. I saw their starved lips and grown with hurried warning gaped wide. And I awoke and found me

00:13:03.590 - 00:13:13.970

here on the cold hillside. And that is why I sojourn here alone and Paley loitering. Though the sedges weathered from

00:13:13.970 - 00:13:18.060

the lake and no birds sing.
