Onomatopoeia
She Walks in Beauty: George Gordon Byron
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:
Thus mellow'd to that tender light5
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impair'd the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face;10
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,15
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!

King Solomon and the Ants: John Greenleaf Whittier
1. Out from Jerusalem
The king rode with his great
War chiefs and lords of state,
And Sheba's queen with them.
2. Proud in the Syrian sun,
In gold and purple sheen,
The dusky Ethiop queen
Smiled on King Solomon.
3. Wisest of men, he knew
The languages of all
The creatures great or small
That trod the earth or flew.
4. Across an ant-hill led
The king's path, and he heard
Its small folk, and their word
He thus interpreted:
5. "Here comes the king men greet
As wise and good and just,
To crush us in the dust
Under his heedless feet."
6. The great king bowed his head,
And saw the wide surprise
Of the Queen of Sheba's eyes
As he told her what they said.
7. "O king!" she whispered sweet,
"Too happy fate have they
Who perish in thy way
Beneath thy gracious feet!
8. "Thou of the God-lent crown,
Shall these vile creatures dare
Murmur against thee where
The knees of kings kneel down?"
9. "Nay," Solomon replied,
"The wise and strong should seek
The welfare of the weak;"
And turned his horse aside.
10. His train, with quick alarm,
Curved with their leader round
The ant-hill's peopled mound,
And left it free from harm.
11. The jeweled head bent low;
"O king!" she said, "henceforth
The secret of thy worth
And wisdom well I know.
12. "Happy must be the State
Whose ruler heedeth more
The murmurs of the poor
Than flatteries of the great.

1 Mr. McDonaldson sprints to the head trainer. “Why isn’t that horse lining up for the next race? Nick, do you think I can afford to keep and feed and care for a horse if she isn’t racing?”
2 Nick shook his head slowly. “Your horse has a hurt leg. Did you see her slow down during the last race? I think she pulled something.”
3 “Look, I paid good money for her three years ago and I need her to keep racing!”
4 “But sir,” pleaded Nick, “let’s please not race her injured. She could be hurt worse if she runs with a bum leg.”
5 “Do I look like I’m kidding? Massage it and wrap it in one of those magical bandages. I also pay good money to have you around as well, and don’t you forget it!”
6 In a burning rage, Mr. McDonaldson storms off to the enormous holding stable. He spies his prize horse a few stalls away and stands in front of her. His heart quickly melts at the sight of her. He remembers riding her after he first bought her from a fellow rancher. Her speed, her grace, and her gentleness made Mr. McDonaldson treat her differently from his other horses. Grace, a name never better fit a horse.
7 Grace leans her head down and nuzzles Mr. McDonaldson’s neck. He gently runs his hands along her mane and then slowly walks away.
8 After a few minutes, Mr. McDonaldson finally sees Nick. “I am truly sorry, Nick. I shouldn’t have yelled at you. You were doing your job well. Let Grace rest for the remainder of the day.” Mr. McDonaldson shakes Nick’s hand, and then walks to the stands to witness the next race.
