En mar sin playas onda sonante, En el vacio cometa errante, Largo lamento Del ronco viento, Ansia perpetua de algo mejor, Eso soy yo.

cometa, m., comet.

C.S.C. *** For Cometas, in Idyll V., read Comatas. FOOTNOTES:

COMETAS. Goats, from a shepherd who stands here, from Lacon, keep away: Sibyrtas owns him; and he stole my goatskin yesterday.

Have ye not eyes to see Cometas, him who filched a pipe but two days back from me?

But pray, Cometas, say, What is that skin wherewith thou saidst that Lacon walked away?

Nor pipe of thine, good fellowthe Ladies of the Lake So be still kind and good to medid e'er Cometas take.

or when the goat stood handy, suffer her To nurse her firstling, and himself go milk a blatant cur? COMETAS.

When learned I from thy practice or thy preaching aught that's right, Thou puppet, thou misshapen lump of ugliness and spite? COMETAS.

COMETAS. Come hither, and trample dainty fern and poppy-blossom: sleep On goatskins that are softer than thy fleeces piled three deep.

COMETAS.

COMETAS. Nay, by the Nymphs, sweet Morson, ne'er for Cometas' sake Stretch thou a point; nor e'er let him undue advantage take.

COMETAS. Nay, by the Nymphs, sweet Morson, ne'er for Cometas' sake Stretch thou a point; nor e'er let him undue advantage take.

Eh, thou'rt a chatter-box! COMETAS.

I ween, ye cost the reapers pangs as acute as his. COMETAS.

COMETAS. Have you forgot that cudgelling I gave you?

My sheep crop honeysuckle bloom, while all around them blows In clusters rich the jasmine, as brave as any rose. COMETAS.

Cometas, unto you I, Morson, do adjudge the lamb.

He is, and he will get (Or my name's not Cometas) a proper pounding yet. IDYLL VI.

Happy Cometas, this sweet lot was thine!

I had led thy pretty goats About the hill-side, listening to thy voice: While thou hadst lain thee down 'neath oak or pine, Divine Cometas, warbling pleasantly.

En justo pago de las cometas que nos han hecho, o de las muñecas que nos han arrullado.
