555. ‘Do You Remember Me?’

Walter Savage Landor (1775—1864)

  ‘DO you remember me? or are you proud?’

  Lightly advancing thro’ her star-trimm’d crowd,

  Ianthe said, and looked into my eyes.

  ‘A yes, a yes, to both: for Memory

  Where you but once have been must ever be,

  And at your voice Pride from his throne must rise.’
