George H. Boker


Awful as justice.	1
As bright as the waves of a rill.	2
Dropped … like a spent horse.	3
Lovers are like walking ghosts, they always haunt the spot of their misdeeds.	4
Melancholy as a cow.	5
As plain as noon-day.	6
Strutted through hell, and pushed the devils by, Like a magnifico of Venice.	7
