Poems with rhymes of fable

To prove all poetry but fable.

Put that money on the table

Romance or fairy fable?
Or is it some historic page,
Of kings and crowns unstable?"

I will love thee -- half a year --
As a man is able.

Why not bask amid the senses while the sun of morning shines,
I, the finer brute rejoicing in my hounds, and in my stable,

For each babe was left in cradle,
Had been changed, 'tis no fable ;

Planning, poem, book, or fable,
At my darling beech-wood table

Unquiet and unstable,
That holy well of Loch Maree
Is more than idle fable!

So far as the rest ascertained,
Though they searched from the barn to the stable,

In history and fable
As warrior since you took the field,
Defeating Abel.

Still to flatter and be fond:

Oysters and marrow-bones, and seeds of grape -
The statement of whose age must sound a fable;

We were a tribe, a family, a people.
Wallace and Bruce guard now a painted field,
And all may read the folio of our fable,

To the seven-o'-clock joys of full many a table --
When the Members all meet, to make much of that part
With which they so rashly fell out in the Fable.

Enoch Arden was an able
Seaman; hear of his mishap
Not in wild mendacious fable,

Nay querry not, Leuconoë, the finish of the fable;
Eliminate the worry as to what the years may hoard!
You only waste your time upon the Babylonian Table--
