HAWKING

I

I see them still, when poring o'er

Old volumes of romantic lore,

Ride forth to hawk, in days of yore,

By woods and promontories:

Knights in gold-lace, plumes and gems,

Damsels crowned with anadems,--

Whose falcons perch on wrists, like milk,

In hoods and jesses of green silk,--

From bannered Miraflores.
