THE DAILY NEWS. [From Ectry Saturday.) Lucretius. EX ALFRED TEXKXSOS, POET LACT.EATE. Lucilla, weddi d to Lucretius, found Her ruastor cold ; for when the morning flush Of passion and the first embrace had died Between them, though he loved her none the less. Yet oiten when the woman heard his foot Return rrom pacings in the field, and ran To greet him with a kiss, the master took Small notice, or austerely, for?bis n;ind Half buried in some weightier argument, Or fancy-barne perhaps upon the riM And long roll of the Hexameter?be pa** To torn and ponder those three hundied scrolls Left by the Teacher whom he held divine. She brooked it not ; but wrathful, petulant, Dreaming some rival, sought and found a witch Who brewed the philter which had power, they said To lead an errant passion home again. And this, at times, she mingled with hia drink, And this de*troyed him; for the wicked broth Confused the chemic labor of the blood And tickling the brute within the man's brain Made havoc among those tender cells, and checked His power to shape; he loathed himself; and once Altec a tempest woke upen a morn That mocked him with return ins calm and cried,? "Storm in the night 1 for thrice I heard the rain Rushing : and onc^s the flash of a thunderbolt? Me thought I never saw so fierce a fork? Struck ont the streaming mountain-side, and showed A riotous confluence of watercourses Blanching and billowing in a hollow of it, Where all but yester-eve was dusty dry. Storni and what dreams ye holy gods, what dreams. For thrice I wakened after dreams. Perchance We do not recollect the dreams that come Just ere the waking; terrible I for it seemed A void was made in Nature; all her bends Cracked; and I saw the flaring atom-streams And torrents of her myriad universe Runxing along the illimitable inane. Fly en to clash together again, and make Another and another frame of things Forever : that was mine, my dream, I knew it? Ot and belonging to me, as the dog With inward yelp and restless forefoot plies His function of the woodland : but the next 1 thought that all the blood by Sylla shed Came driving rai -like down again on earth, And where it dashed the reddening meadow, sprang No dragon warriors from Cad mean teeth, For these I thought my dream would show to me, But girls. He tairai, curious in their art, Hired animalisms, vile as those that made The mulberry-faced Dictator's orgies worse Than aught they table of the quiet Gods. And hands they mixt, and yelled and round me drove In narrowing circles till I yelled again Half suffocated, and sprang up and saw Was it the first beam of my latent day ? Then, then, from utter gloom stood out the breasts, The breasts of Helen, and hoveringly a sword Now over and now under, now direct Pointed its eh to pierce, but sank down shamed At all .hat beauty; and as I stared, a Are, The fire that left a roofless Dion, Shot out of them, and scorched m? that I woke. Is this thy vengeance, holy Venus, thine. Because I would not one of thine own doves, Not even a rose, were offered to thee ? thine Forgetful how my nch prooemlon makes Thy glory fly along the Italian field. In lays that will outlast thy Deity ? Deity ? nay, thy worshippers. My tongue Tripe, or I speak profanely. Which of these Angers thee most, or angers thee at all ! Not if thou be'rt of those who far alcof From envy, bate, and pity, and spite and scorn, Live the great life which ail our greatest fain Would follow, centred in eternal calm. Nay, if thou canst, 0 Ooddess, like ourselves Touch, and be touched, then would I cry to thee To kiss thy Ma von, roll thy tender arms Round him, and keep him from the lust of blood That makes a steaming slaughter-house of Rome. Ah, lut I meant not thee; I meant not her, Whom ail the pines of Ida shook to see slide from that quiet heaven of hers, and tempt The Trojan, while his neat herds were abroad; Nor her that o'er the wounded hunter wept, Her Deity false in human-amorous tears; Nor whom her beardless apple-arbiter Decided fairest. Rather, O ye Gods, Poet-like, as the great Sicilian called Calliope to grace his golden verse? Ay, and this Kypris also?did I take That popular name of thine to shadow forth The all-generating powers and genial heat Of Nature, when she strikes through the thick blood Of cattle, and light Is large and Iambs are glad Nosing the mother's udder, and the bird Makes his heart-voice amid the blaze of flowers ! Which things appear the work of mighty Gods. The Gods 1 and if I go my work is le't. Unttjash.-d?if I go. The Gods, who haunt The lucid interspace of world and world. Where never creeps a cloud, or moves a wind, Nor ever falls the hast white star of snow, Nor ever 1 j wert roll of thunder moans. Nor sound of human sorrow mounts ro'mar Their secret everlasting calm ! and such, Not all so fine, nor so divine a calm, Not such, nor all unlike it, man may gain Letting his own life ko. The Gods, the Gods ! If all be atoms, how then should the Gods Being atomic not be dissoluble. Not lollow the great law I My master held That Gods there are, for all men so believe. I prest my footsteps into his, and meant Surely to lead my Memmius in a train Ol flowery clauses onward to the proof That Gods there are, and deathless. Meant? I meant? I have torgotten what I meant: my mind Stumbles, and all my faculties are lamed. Look where another of our Gods, the Sun, Apollo. Delias, or of older use, All-seeing Hyperion?what yon will. Has mounted yonder; since he never sware, Except his wrath were wroaked on wretched man, That he would only shine among the de d Hereafter; tales I tor never yet on earth Could dead flesh creep, or bits of roasting ox Moan round the spit; nor knows he what he sees, King of the East although he seem, and girt With song and flame and fragrance, s^wly lifts His golden feet on those impurpled s-, .-s That climb into the windy halls of heaven ? And here he glances on an eye new-bors, And gets for greeting bnt a wail of pain ; And here he stays upon a freezing otb That fain would gaze upon him to the last ; And here upon a yellow eyelid fallen And closed by those who mourn atrisnd in vein, N it thankful that his troubles are no more. And me, although his fire is on my face Blindiig, he sees not, nor at aU can tell Whetr er I mean this day to end myself, Or lend an ear to Plaio where he says. That men like soldiers may not quit the post Allottee; by the Gods: but he thu holds The God?- are careles*, wherefore need be care Greatly for them, nor rather plunge at once. Bring troubled, wholly out of sight, and sink Past earthquake?ay, and gout and stone, that break Body toward deatn, and palsy, death-in-life, And wretched age?and worst disease of all, These prodigies of myriad nakedness. And twisted shapes ol lust, unspeakable, Abominable, strangers at my hearth Not welcome, harpies miring every dish. The phantom huBks of something louliy done, And fleeting through the boundless universe, And blasting the long quiet of my breast With animal heat and dire insanity. How should the mind, except it loved them, clasp These idols to her sei: ? or do they fly Now thinner, and now thicker, like tbe flakes In a fall of snow, and so press in, perforce Of multitude, as crowds that in an hour Of dvis tumult jam the doors, and bear The keepers down, and throag, their rags and they, The basest, far Into that council-hall Where sit the oest and stateliest of the land ? Can I not fling this horror off me again, Se< ing with how great ease Nature can smile; Balmier and nobler from her bath of storm, At random ravage ? and bow easily The mountain there has can his cloudy slough, Now towering o'er bim in Bereuest air, A mountain o'er a mountain, ay, and within All hollow at the hope* and fears of men.

For look! what is it? there? yon arbutus Totters; a noiseless riot underneath Strikes through the wooi, sets eli the tops quiver ing The mountain quickens into Nymph and Faun; And here an Oread (how the sun delights To glance and shift about her slippery aides And rosy knees, and supple rounded ness, And budded bosom-peaks) who this way runs Beiore the rest?A satyr; a satyr; see Follows; but him I proved imposai ole; Twi-natured is no nature; yet he draws Nearer and nearer, and I scan him now Beastlier than any phantom ot his kind That ever butted his brother-brute For lust or lusty blcod or provender: I hate, abhor, spit, sicken at him; and she Loathes him as well; such a precipitate heel.
