TWO POEMS

PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY

Ozymandias

I met a traveler from an antique land 
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone 
Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand, 
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, 
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command 
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read 
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, 
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed. 
And on the pedestal these words appear: 
My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: 
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair! 
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay 
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare 
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

HORACE SMITH

On a Stupendous Leg of Granite, Discovered Standing by Itself in the Deserts of Egypt, with the Inscription Inserted Below

In Egypts sandy silence, all alone, 
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws 
The only shadow that the Desert knows. 
I am great Ozymandias, saith the stone, 
The King of kings: this mighty city shows 
The wonders of my hand. The citys gone! 
Naught but the leg remaining to disclose 
The sight of that forgotten Babylon. 
We wonder, and some hunter may express 
Wonder like ours, when through the wilderness 
Where London stood, holding the wolf in chase, 
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess 
What wonderful, but unrecorded, race 
Once dwelt in that annihilated place.
