I toiling here\nLook backward like a child and drop a tear.\nHUMPHREY:\nI love a dismal story, tell me thine,\nMeantime, good Will, I'll listen as I dine.\nI too my friend can tell a piteous story\nWhen I turn'd hero how I purchas'd glory.\nWILLIAM:\nBut Humphrey, sure thou never canst have known\nThe comforts of a little home thine own:\nA home so snug, So chearful too as mine,\n'Twas always clean, and we could make it fine;\nFor there King Charles's golden rules were seen,\nAnd there--God bless 'em both--the King and Queen.\nThe pewter plates our garnish'd chimney grace\nSo nicely scour'd, you might have seen your face;\nAnd over all, to frighten thieves, was hung\nWell clean'd, altho' but seldom us'd, my gun.\nAh! that damn'd gun! I took it down one morn--\nA desperate deal of harm they did my corn!\nOur testy Squire too loved to save the breed,\nSo covey upon covey eat my seed.\nI mark'd the mischievous rogues, and took my aim,\nI fir'd, they fell, and--up the keeper came.\nThat cursed morning brought on my undoing,\nI went to prison and my farm to ruin.\nPoor Mary! for her grave the parish paid,\nNo tomb-stone tells where her cold corpse is laid!\nMy children--my dear boys--\nHUMPHREY:\nCome--Grief is dry--\nYou to your dinner--to my story I.\nTo you my friend who happier days have known\nAnd each calm comfort of a home your own,\nThis is bad living: I have spent my life\nIn hardest toil and unavailing strife,\nAnd here (from forest ambush safe at least)\nTo me this scanty pittance seems a feast.\nI was a plough-boy once; as free from woes\nAnd blithesome as the lark with whom I rose.\nEach evening at return a meal I found\nAnd, tho' my bed was hard, my sleep was sound.\nOne Whitsuntide, to go to fair, I drest\nLike a great bumkin in my Sunday's best;\nA primrose posey in my hat I stuck\nAnd to the revel went to try my luck.\nFrom show to show, from booth to booth I stray,\nSee stare and wonder all the live-long day.\nA Serjeant to the fair recruiting came\nSkill'd in man-catching to beat up for game;\nOur booth he enter'd and sat down by me;--\nMethinks even now the very scene I see!\nThe canvass roof, the hogshead's running store,\nThe old blind fiddler seated next the door,\nThe frothy tankard passing to and fro\nAnd the rude rabble round the puppet-show;\nThe Serjeant eyed me well--the punch-bowl comes,\nAnd as we laugh'd and drank, up struck the drums--\nAnd now he gives a bumper to his Wench--\nGod save the King, and then--God damn the French.\nThen tells the story of his last campaign.\nHow many wounded and how many slain,\nFlags flying, cannons roaring, drums a-beating,\nThe English marching on, the French retreating,--\n\"Push on--push on my lads! they fly before ye,\n\"March on to riches, happiness and glory!\"\nAt first I wonder'd, by degrees grew bolder,\nThen cried--\"tis a fine thing to be a soldier!\"\n\"Aye Humphrey!\" says the Serjeant--\"that's your name?\n\"'Tis a fine thing to fight the French for fame!\n\"March to the field--knock out a Mounseer's brains\n\"And pick the scoundrel's pocket for your pains.\n\"Come Humphrey come! thou art a lad of spirit!\n\"Rise to a halbert--as I did--by merit!\n\"Would'st thou believe it? even I was once\n\"As thou art now, a plough-boy and a dunce;\n\"But Courage rais'd me to my rank. How now boy!\n\"Shall Hero Humphrey still be Numps the plough-boy?\n\"A proper shaped young fellow! tall and straight!\n\"Why thou wert made for glory! five feet eight!\n\"The road to riches is the field of fight,--\n\"Didst ever see a guinea look so bright?\n\"Why regimentals Numps would give thee grace,\n\"A hat and feather would become that face;\n\"The girls would crowd around thee to be kist--\n\"Dost love a girl?\" \"Od Zounds!\" I cried \"I'll list!\"\nSo past the night: anon the morning came,\nAnd off I set a volunteer for fame.\n\"Back shoulders, turn out your toes, hold up your head,\n\"Stand easy!\" so I did--till almost dead.\nOh how I long'd to tend the plough again\nTrudge up the field and whistle o'er the plain,\nWhen tir'd and sore amid the piteous throng\nHungry and cold and wet I limp'd along,\nAnd growing fainter as I pass'd and colder,\nCurs'd that ill hour when I became a soldier!\nIn town I found the hours more gayly pass\nAnd Time fled swiftly with my girl and glass;\nThe girls were wonderous kind and wonderous fair,\nThey soon transferred me to the Doctor's care,\nThe Doctor undertook to cure the evil,\nAnd he almost transferred me to the Devil.\n'Twere tedious to relate the dismal story\nOf fighting, fasting, wretchedness and glory.\nAt last discharg'd, to England's shores I came\nPaid for my wounds with want instead of fame,\nFound my fair friends and plunder'd as they bade me,\nThey kist me, coax'd me, robb'd me and betray'd me.\nTried and condemn'd his Majesty transports me,\nAnd here in peace, I thank him, he supports me,\nSo ends my dismal and heroic story\nAnd Humphrey gets more good from guilt than glory."}]}

Here are some notes you bring along:\n    1. Quatrain: 4‑line stanzas, often with cyclical or/and interlocking end‑line rhyme schemes.\n\tCommon subtypes:\n       i. ABAB, then CDCD, EFEF, etc... Interlocking cyclical scheme, introducing new end-rhyme \t(phonetic) templates with each sequential quatrain stanza.  \n\tThis pattern + iambic pentameter = Heroic/Elegiac stanza.\n       ii. ABAB, then BCBC, CDCD, DEDE, etc… The Pantoum scheme: rhyme template from\n\tlines 2/4 of each quatrain stanza recurs in lines 1/3 of the following quatrain.\n       iii. AABA: The Ruba'i rhyme scheme. As in: AABA, then AABA, AABA, etc… \n       iv. ABBA: The envelope quatrain stanza. As in: ABBA, then ABBA, ABBA, etc…\n\tThis pattern + iambic tetrameter = the In Memoriam stanza.\n       Quatrains can serve as sub‑forms of broader constructs (as can triads, couplets, etc). \n       Such as: poem with 5+ ABAB, ABCB, or ABxB quatrains is plausibly a Ballad, especially\n\tif lines alternate iambic tetrameter (1st/3rd lines) & iambic trimeter (2nd/4th).\n    2.

Now, hear this: To the Editor of the Knickerbocker\nSir: In the course of a tour which I made in Sicily, in the days of my juvenility, I passed some little time at the ancient city of Catania, at the foot of Mount 'tna. Here I became acquainted with the Chevalier L--, an old Knight of Malta. It was not many years after the time that Napoleon had dislodged the knights from their island, and he still wore the insignia of his order. He was not, however, one of those reliques of that once chivalrous body, who had been described was 'a few worn-out old men, creeping about certain parts of Europe, with the Maltese cross on their breasts;' on the contrary, though advanced in life, his form was still light and vigorous; he had a pale, thin, intellectual visage, with a high forehead, and a bright, visionary eye. He seemed to take a fancy to me, as I certainly did to him, and we soon became intimate, I visited him occasionally, at his apartments, in the wing of an old palace, looking toward Mount 'tna. He was an antiquary, a virtuoso, and a connoisseur. His rooms were decorated with mutilated statues, dug up from Grecian and Roman ruins; old vases, lachrymals, and sepulchral lamps. He had astronomical and chemical instruments, and black-letter books, in various languages. I found that he had dipped a little in chimerical studies and had a hankering after astrology and alchymy. He affected to believe in dreams and visions, and delighted in the fanciful Rosicrucian doctrines. I cannot persuade myself, however, that he really believed in all these: I rather think he loved to let his imagination carry him away into the boundless fairy land which they unfolded.\nIn company with the chevalier, I took several excursions on horseback about the environs of Catania, and the picturesque skirts of Mount 'tna. One of these led through a village, which had sprung up on the very tract of an ancient eruption, the houses being built of lava. At one time we passed, for some distance, along a narrow lane, between two high dead convent walls. It was a cut-throat-looking place, in a country where assassinations are frequent; and just about midway through it, we observed blood upon the pavement and the walls, as if a murder had actually been committed there.\nThe chevalier spurred on his horse, until he had extricated himself completely from this suspicious neighborhood. He then observed, that it reminded him of a similar blind alley in Malta, infamous on account of the many assassinations that had taken place there; concerning one of which, he related a long and tragical story, that lasted until we reached Catania. It involved various circumstances of a wild and supernatural character, but which he assured me were handed down in tradition, and generally credited by the old inhabitants of Malta.\nAs I like to pick up strange stories, and as I was particularly struck with several parts of this, I made a minute of it, on my return to my lodgings. The memorandum was lost, with several others of my travelling papers, and the story had faded from my mind, when recently, in perusing a French memoir, I came suddenly upon it, dressed up, it is true, in a very different manner, but agreeing in the leading facts, and given upon the word of that famous adventurer, the Count Cagliostro.\nI have amused myself, during a snowy day in the country, by rendering it roughly into English, for the entertainment of a youthful circle round the Christmas fire. It was well received by my auditors, who, however, are rather easily pleased. One proof of its merits is that it sent some of the youngest of them quaking to their beds, and gave them very fearful dreams. Hoping that it may have the same effect upon your ghost-hunting readers, I offer it, Mr. Editor, for insertion in your Magazine. I would observe, that wherever I have modified the French version of the Story, it has been in conformity to some recollection of the narrative of my friend, the Knight of Malta.\nYour obt. servt.,\nGEOFFREY CRAYON.\n-    -    -    -    -    -    -\nThe Grand Prior of Minorca,\nA Veritable Ghost Story.\n'Keep my wits, heaven! They say spirits appear\nTo melancholy minds, and the graves open!'\n- FLETCHER.\nABOUT the middle of the last century, while the Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem still maintained something of their ancient state and sway in the Island of Malta, a tragical event took place there, which is the groundwork of the following narrative.\nIt may be as well to premise, that at the time we are treating of, the order of Saint John of Jerusalem, grown excessively wealthy, had degenerated from its originally devout and warlike character. Instead of being a hardy body of 'monk-knights,' sworn soldiers of the cross, fighting the Paynim in the Holy Land, or scouring the Mediterranean, and scourging the Barbary coasts with their galleys, or feeding the poor, and attending upon the sick at their hospitals, they led a life of luxury and libertinism, and were to be found in the most voluptuous courts of Europe. The order, in fact, had become a mode of providing for the needy branches of the Catholic aristocracy of Europe. 'A commandery,' we are told, was a splendid provision for a younger brother; and men of rank, however dissolute, provided they belonged to the highest aristocracy, became Knights of Malta, just as they did bishops, or colonels of regiments, or court chamberlains. After a brief Residence at Malta, the knights passed the rest of their time in their own countries, or only made a visit now and then to the island. While there, having but little military duty to perform, they beguiled their idleness by paying attentions to the fair.\nThere was one circle of society, however, into which they could not obtain currency. This was composed of a few families of the old Maltese nobility, natives of the island. These families, not being permitted to enroll any of their members in the order, affected to hold no intercourse with its chevaliers; admitting none into their exclusive coteries but the Grand Master, whom they acknowledged as their sovereign, and the members of the chapter which composed his council.\nTo indemnify themselves for this exclusion, the chevaliers carried their gallantries into the next class of society, composed of those who held civil, administrative, and judicial situations. The ladies of this class were called honorate, or honorables, to distinguish them from the inferior orders; and among them were many of superior grace, beauty, and fascination.\nEven in this more hospitable class, the chevaliers were not all equally favored. Those of Germany had the decided preference, owing to their fair and fresh complexions, and the kindliness of their manners: next to these came the Spanish cavaliers, on account of their profound and courteous devotion, and most discreet secrecy. Singular as it may seem, the chevaliers of France fared the worst. The Maltese ladies dreaded their volatility, and their proneness to boast of their amours, and shunned all entanglement with them. They were forced, therefore, to content themselves with conquests among females of the lower orders. They revenged themselves, after the gay French manner, by making the 'honorate' the objects of all kinds of jests and mystifications; by prying into their tender affairs with the more favored chevaliers, and making them the theme of song and epigram.\nAbout this time, a French vessel arrived at Malta, bringing out a distinguished personage of the order of Saint John of Jerusalem, the Commander de Foulquerre, who came to solicit the post of commander-in-chief of the galleys. He was descended from an old and warrior line of French nobility, his ancestors having long been seneschals of Poitou, and claiming descent from the first counts of Angouleme.\nThe arrival of the commander caused a little uneasiness among the peaceably inclined, for he bore the character, in the island, of being fiery, arrogant, and quarrelsome. He had already been three times at Malta, and on each visit had signalized himself by some rash and deadly affray.\nAs he was now thirty-five years of age, however, it was hoped that time might have taken off the fiery edge of his spirit, and that he might prove more quiet and sedate than formerly. The commander set up an establishment befitting his rank and pretensions; for he arrogated to himself an importance greater even than that of the Grand Master. His house immediately became the rallying place of all the young French chevaliers. They informed him of all the slights they had experienced or imagined, and indulged their petulant and satirical vein at the expense of the honorate and their admirers. The chevaliers of other nations soon found the topics and tone of conversation at the commander's irksome and offensive, and gradually ceased to visit there. The commander remained the head of a national clique, who looked up to him as their model. If he was not as boisterous and quarrelsome as formerly, he had become haughty and overbearing. He was fond of talking over his past affairs of punctilio and bloody duel. When walking the streets, he was generally attended by a ruffling train of young French cavaliers, who caught his own air of assumption and bravado. These he would conduct to the scenes of his deadly encounters, point out the very spot where each fatal lunge had been given, and dwell vaingloriously on every particular.\nUnder his tuition, the young French chevaliers began to add bluster and arrogance to their former petulance and levity; they fired up on the most trivial occasions, particularly with those who had been most successful with the fair; and would put on the most intolerable drawcansir airs. The other chevaliers conducted themselves with all possible forbearance and reserve; but they saw it would be impossible to keep on long, in this manner, without coming to an open rupture.\nAmong the Spanish cavaliers was one named Don Luis de Lima Vasconcellos. He was distantly related to the Grand Master; and had been enrolled at an early age among his pages, but had been rapidly promoted by him, until, at the age of twenty-six, he had been given the richest Spanish commandery in the order. He had, moreover, been fortunate with the fair, with one of whom, the most beautiful honorata of Malta, he had long maintained the most tender correspondence.\nThe character, rank, and connexions of Don Luis put him on a par with the imperious Commander de Foulquerre, and pointed him out as a leader and champion to his countrymen. The Spanish chevaliers repaired to him, therefore, in a body; represented all the grievances they had sustained, and the evils they apprehended, and urged him to use his influence with the commander and his adherents to put a stop to the growing abuses.\nDon Luis was gratified by this mark of confidence and esteem on the part of his countrymen, and promised to have an interview with the Commander de Foulquerre on the subject. He resolved to conduct himself with the utmost caution and delicacy on the occasion; to represent to the commander the evil consequences which might result from the inconsiderate conduct of the young French chevaliers, and to entreat him to exert the great influence he so deservedly possessed over them, to restrain their excesses. Don Luis was aware, however, of the peril that attended any interview of the kind with this imperious and fractious man, and apprehended, however it might commence, that it would terminate in a duel. Still, it was an affair of honor, in which Castilian dignity was concerned; beside, he had a lurking disgust at the overbearing manners of De Foulquerre, and perhaps had been somewhat offended by certain intrusive attentions which he had presumed to pay to the beautiful honorata.\nIt was now Holy Week; a time too sacred for worldly feuds and passions, especially in a community under the dominion of a religious order; it was agreed, therefore, that the dangerous interview in question should not take place until after the Easter holidays. It is probable, from subsequent circumstances, that the Commander de Foulquerre had some information of this arrangement among the Spanish chevaliers, and was determined to be beforehand, and to mortify the pride of their champion, who was thus preparing to read him a lecture. He chose Good Friday for his purpose. On this sacred day, it is customary in Catholic countries to make a tour of all the churches, offering up prayers in each. In every Catholic church, as is well known, there is a vessel of holy water near the door. In this, every one, on entering, dips his fingers, and makes therewith the sign of the cross on his forehead and breast. An office of gallantry, among the young Spaniards, is to stand near the door, dip their hands in the holy vessel, and extend them courteously and respectfully to any lady of their acquaintance who may enter; who thus receives the sacred water at second hand, on the tips of her fingers, and proceeds to cross herself, with all due decorum. The Spaniards, who are the most jealous of lovers, are impatient when this piece of devotional gallantry is proffered to the object of their affections by any other hand: on Good Friday, therefore, when a lady makes a tour of the churches, it is the usage among them for the inamorato to follow her from church to church, so as to present her the holy water at the door of each; thus testifying his own devotion, and at the same time preventing the officious services of a rival.\nOn the day in question, Don Luis followed the beautiful honorata, to whom, as has already been observed, he had long been devoted. At the very first church she visited, the Commander de Foulquerre was stationed at the portal, with several of the young French chevaliers about him. Before Don Luis could offer her the holy water, he was anticipated by the commander, who thrust himself between them, and, while he performed the gallant office to the lady, rudely turned his back upon her admirer, and trod upon his feet. The insult was enjoyed by the young Frenchmen who were present: it was too deep and grave to be forgiven by Spanish pride; and at once put an end to all Don Luis' plans of caution and forbearance. He repressed his passion for the moment, however, and waited until all the parties left the church; then, accosting the commander with an air of coolness and unconcern, he inquired after his health, and asked to what church he proposed making his second visit. 'To the Magisterial Church of Saint John.' Don Luis offered to conduct him thither, by the shortest route. His offer was accepted, apparently without suspicion, and they proceeded together. After walking some distance, they entered a long, narrow lane, without door or window opening upon it, called the 'Strada Stretta,' or narrow street. It was a street in which duels were tacitly permitted, or connived at, in Malta, and were suffered to pass as accidental encounters. Every where else they were prohibited. This restriction had been instituted to diminish the number of duels, formerly so frequent in Malta. As a farther precaution to render these encounters less fatal, it was an offence, punishable with death, for any one to enter this street armed with either poniard or pistol. It was a lonely, dismal street, just wide enough for two men to stand upon their guard, and cross their swords; few persons ever traversed it, unless with some sinister design; and on any preconcerted duello, the seconds posted themselves at each end, to stop all passengers, and prevent interruption.\nIn the present instance, the parties had scarce entered the street, when Don Luis drew his sword, and called upon the commander to defend himself.\nDe Foulquerre was evidently taken by surprise: he drew back, and attempted to expostulate; but Don Luis persisted in defying him to the combat.\nAfter a second or two, he likewise drew his sword, but immediately lowered the point.\n'Good Friday!' ejaculated he, shaking his head: 'one word with you; it is full six years since I have been in a confessional: I am shocked at the state of my conscience; but within three days, that is to say, on Monday next,'\nDon Luis would listen to nothing. Though naturally of a peaceable disposition, he had been stung to fury, and people of that character, when once incensed, are deaf to reason. He compelled the commander to put himself on his guard. The latter, though a man accustomed to brawl in battle, was singularly dismayed. Terror was visible in all his features. He placed himself with his back to the wall, and the weapons were crossed. The contest was brief and fatal. At the very first thrust, the sword of Don Luis passed through the body of his antagonist. The commander staggered to the wall, and leaned against it.\n'On Good Friday!' ejaculated he again, with a failing voice, and despairing accents. 'Heaven pardon you!' added he; 'take my sword to T'tefoulques, and have a hundred masses performed in the chapel of the castle, for the repose of my soul!' With these words he expired.\nThe fury of Don Luis was at an end. He stood aghast, gazing at the bleeding body of the commander. He called to mind the prayer of the deceased for three days' respite, to make his peace with heaven; he had refused it; had sent him to the grave, with all his sins upon his head! His conscience smote him to the core; he gathered up the sword of the commander, which he had been enjoined to take to T'tefoulques, and hurried from the fatal Strada Stretta.\nThe duel of course made a great noise in Malta, but had no injurious effect upon the worldly fortunes of Don Luis. He made a full declaration of the whole matter, before the proper authorities; the Chapter of the Order considered it one of those casual encounters of the Strada Stretta, which were mourned over, but tolerated; the public, by whom the late commander had been generally detested, declared that he had deserved his fate. It was but three days after the event, that Don Luis was advanced to one of the highest dignities of the Order, being invested by the Grand Master with the priorship of the kingdom of Minorca.\nFrom that time forward, however, the whole character and conduct of Don Luis underwent a change. He became a prey to a dark melancholy, which nothing could assuage. The most austere piety, the severest penances, had no effect in allaying the horror which preyed upon his mind. He was absent for a long time from Malta; having gone, it was said, on remote pilgrimages: when he returned, he was more haggard than ever. There seemed something mysterious and inexplicable in this disorder of his mind. The following is the revelation made by himself, of the horrible visions, or chimeras, by which he was haunted:\n'When I had made my declaration before the Chapter,' said he, 'and my provocations were publicly known, I had made my peace with man; but it was not so with God, nor with my confessor, nor with my own conscience. My act was doubly criminal, from the day on which it was committed, and from my refusal to a delay of three days, for the victim of my resentment to receive the sacraments. His despairing ejaculation, 'Good Friday! Good Friday!' continually rang in my ears. 'Why did I not grant the respite!' cried I to myself; 'was it not enough to kill the body, but must I seek to kill the soul!'\n'On the night of the following Friday, I started suddenly from my sleep. An unaccountable horror was upon me. I looked wildly around. It seemed as if I were not in my apartment, nor in my bed, but in the fatal Strada Stretta, lying on the pavement. I again saw the commander leaning against the wall; I again heard his dying words: 'Take my sword to T'tefoulques, and have a hundred masses performed in the chapel of the castle, for the repose of my soul!'\n'On the following night, I caused one of my servants to sleep in the same room with me. I saw and heard nothing, either on that night, or any of the nights following, until the next Friday; when I had again the same vision, with this difference, that my valet seemed to be lying at some distance from me on the pavement of the Strada Stretta. The vision continued to be repeated on every Friday night, the commander always appearing in the same manner, and uttering the same words: 'Take my sword to T?tefoulques, and have a hundred masses performed in the chapel of the castle for the repose of my soul!' On questioning my servant on the subject, he stated, that on these occasions he dreamed that he was lying in a very narrow street, but he neither saw nor heard any thing of the commander.\n'I knew nothing of this T'tefoulques, whither the defunct was so urgent I should carry his sword. I made inquiries, therefore, concerning it among the French chevaliers. They informed me that it was an old castle, situated about four leagues from Poitiers, in the midst of a forest. It had been built in old times, several centuries since, by Foulques Taillefer, (or Fulke Hackiron,) a redoubtable, hard-fighting Count of Angouleme, who gave it to an illegitimate son, afterward created Grand Seneschal of Poitou, which son became the pro genitor of the Foulquerres of T'tefoulques, hereditary Seneschals of Poitou. They farther informed me, that strange stories were told of this old castle, in the surrounding country, and that it contained many curious reliques. Among these, were the arms of Foulques Taillefer, together with all those of the warriors he had slain; and that it was an immemorial usage with the Foulquerres to have the weapons deposited there which they had wielded either in war or in single combat. This, then, was the reason of the dying injunction of the commander respecting his sword. I carried this weapon with me, wherever I went, but still I neglected to comply with his request.\n'The visions still continued to harass me with undiminished horror. I repaired to Rome, where I confessed myself to the Grand Cardinal penitentiary, and informed him of the terrors with which I was haunted. He promised me absolution, after I should have performed certain acts of penance, the principal of which was, to execute the dying request of the commander, by carrying the sword to T'tefoulques, and having the hundred masses performed in the chapel of the castle for the repose of his soul.\n'I set out for France as speedily as possible, and made no delay in my journey. On arriving at Poitiers, I found that the tidings of the death of the commander had reached there, but had caused no more affliction than among the people of Malta. Leaving my equipage in the town, I put on the garb of a pilgrim, and taking a guide, set out on foot for T'tefoulques. Indeed the roads in this part of the country were impracticable for carriages.\n'I found the castle of T'tefoulques a grand but gloomy and dilapidated pile. All the gates were closed, and there reigned over the whole place an air of almost savage loneliness and desertion. I had understood that its only inhabitant were the concierge, or warder, and a kind of hermit who had charge of the chapel. After ringing for some time at the gate, I at length succeeded in bringing forth the warder, who bowed with reverence to my pilgrim's garb. I begged him to conduct me to the chapel, that being the end of my pilgrimage. We found the hermit there, chanting the funeral service; a dismal sound to one who came to perform a penance for the death of a member of the family. When he had ceased to chant, I informed him that I came to accomplish an obligation of conscience, and that I wished him to perform a hundred masses for the repose of the soul of the commander. He replied that, not being in orders, he was not authorized to perform mass, but that he would willingly undertake to see that my debt of conscience was discharged. I laid my offering on the altar, and would have placed the sword of the commander there, likewise. 'Hold!' said the hermit, with a melancholy shake of the head,'this is no place for so deadly a weapon, that has so often been bathed in Christian blood. Take it to the armory; you will find there trophies enough of like character. It is a place into which I never enter.'\n'The warder here took up the theme abandoned by the peaceful man of God. He assured me that I would see in the armory the swords of all the warrior race of Foulquerres, together with those of the enemies over whom they had triumphed. This, he observed, had been a usage kept up since the time of Mellusine, and of her husband, Geoffrey a la Grand-dent, or Geoffrey with the Great-tooth.\n'I followed the gossiping warder to the armory. It was a great dusty hall, hung round with Gothic-looking portraits, of a stark line of warriors, each with his weapon, and the weapons of those he had slain in battle, hung beside his picture. The most conspicuous portrait was that of Foulques Taillefer, (Fulke Hackiron,) Count of Angouleme, and founder of the castle. He was represented at full-length, armed cap-'-pie, and grasping a huge buckler, on which were emblazoned three lions passant. The figure was so striking, that it seemed ready to start from the canvas: and I observed beneath this picture, a trophy composed of many weapons, proofs of the numerous triumphs of this hard-fighting old cavalier. Beside the weapons connected with the portraits, there were swords of all shapes, sizes, and centuries, hung round the hall; with piles of armor, placed as it were in effigy.\n'On each side of an immense chimney, were suspended the portraits of the first seneschal of Poitou (the illegitimate son of Foulques Taillefer) and his wife Isabella de Lusignan; the progenitors of the grim race of Foulquerres that frowned around. They had the look of being perfect likenesses; and as I gazed on them, I fancied I could trace in their antiquated features some family resemblance to their unfortunate descendant, whom I had slain! This was a dismal neighborhood, yet the armory was the only part of the castle that had a habitable air; so I asked the warder whether he could not make a fire, and give me something for supper there, and prepare me a bed in one corner.\n''A fire and a supper you shall have, and that cheerfully, most worthy pilgrim,' said he; 'but as to a bed, I advise you to come and sleep in my chamber.'\n''Why so?' inquired I; 'why shall I not sleep in this hall?'\n''I have my reasons; I will make a bed for you close to mine.'\n'I made no objections, for I recollected that it was Friday, and I dreaded the return of my vision. He brought in billets of wood, kindled a fire in the great overhanging chimney, and then went forth to prepare my supper. I drew a heavy chair before the fire, and seating myself in it, gazed muzingly round upon the portraits of the Foulquerres, and the antiquated armor and weapons, the mementos of many a bloody deed. As the day declined, the smoky draperies of the hall gradually became confounded with the dark ground of the paintings, and the lurid gleams from the chimney only enabled me to see visages staring at me from the gathering darkness. All this was dismal in the extreme, and somewhat appalling; perhaps it was the state of my conscience that rendered me peculiarly sensitive, and prone to fearful imaginings.\n'At length the warder brought in my supper. It consisted of a dish of trout, and some crawfish taken in the fosse of the castle. He procured also a bottle of wine, which he informed me was wine of Poitou. I requested him to invite the hermit to join me in my repast; but the holy man sent back word that he allowed himself nothing but roots and herbs, cooked with water. I took my meal, therefore, alone, but prolonged it as much as possible, and sought to cheer my drooping spirits by the wine of Poitou, which I found very tolerable.\n'When supper was over, I prepared for my evening devotions. I have always been very punctual in reciting my breviary; it is the prescribed and bounden duty of all chevaliers of the religious orders; and I can answer for it, is faithfully performed by those of Spain. I accordingly drew forth from my pocket a small missal and a rosary, and told the warder he need only designate to me the way to his chamber, where I could come and rejoin him, when I had finished my prayers.\n'He accordingly pointed out a winding stair-case, opening from the hall. 'You will descend this stair-case,' said he, 'until you come to the fourth landing-place, where you enter a vaulted passage, terminated by an arcade, with a statue of the blessed Jeanne of France; you cannot help finding my room, the door of which I will leave open; it is the sixth door from the landing-place. I advise you not to remain in this hall after midnight. Before that hour, you will hear the hermit ring the bell, in going the rounds of the corridors. Do not linger here after that signal.'\n'The warder retired, and I commenced my devotions. I continued at them earnestly; pausing from time to time to put wood upon the fire. I did not dare to look much around me, for I felt myself becoming a prey to fearful fancies. The pictures appeared to become animated. If I regarded one attentively, for any length of time, it seemed to move the eyes and lips. Above all, the portraits of the Grand Seneschal and his lady, which hung on each side of the great chimney, the progenitors of the Foulquerres of T'tefoulque, regarded me, I thought, with angry and baleful eyes: I even fancied they exchanged significant glances with each other. Just then a terrible blast of wind shook all the casements, and, rushing through the hall, made a fearful rattling and clashing among the armor. To my startled fancy, it seemed something supernatural.\n'At length I heard the bell of the hermit, and hastened to quit the hall. Taking a solitary light, which stood on the supper-table, I descended the winding stair-case; but before I had reached the vaulted passage leading to the statue of the blessed Jeanne of France, a blast of wind extinguished my taper. I hastily remounted the stairs, to light it again at the chimney; but judge of my feelings, when, on arriving at the entrance to the armory, I beheld the Seneschal and his lady, who had descended from their frames, and seated themselves on each side of the fire-place! ''Madam, my love,' said the Seneschal, with great formality, and in antiquated phrase, 'what think you of the presumption of this Castilian, who comes to harbor himself and make wassail in this our castle, after having slain our descendant, the commander, and that without granting him time for confession?'\n''Truly, my lord,' answered the female spectre, with no less stateliness of manner, and with great asperity of tone; 'truly, my lord, I opine that this Castilian did a grievous wrong in this encounter; and he should never be suffered to depart hence, without your throwing him the gauntlet.' I paused to hear no more, but rushed again down-stairs, to seek the chamber of the warder. It was impossible to find it in the darkness, and in the perturbation of my mind. After an hour and a half of fruitless search, and mortal horror and anxieties, I endeavored to persuade myself that the day was about to break, and listened impatiently for the crowing of the cock; for I thought if I could hear his cheerful note, I should be reassured; catching, in the disordered state of my nerves, at the popular notion that ghosts never appear after the first crowing of the cock.\n'At length I rallied myself, and endeavored to shake off the vague terrors which haunted me. I tried to persuade myself that the two figures which I had seemed to see and hear, had existed only in my troubled imagination. I still had the end of the candle in my hand, and determined to make another effort to re-light it, and find my way to bed; for I was ready to sink with fatigue. I accordingly sprang up the stair-case, three steps at a time, stopped at the door of the armory, and peeped cautiously in. The two Gothic figures were no longer in the chimney corners, but I neglected to notice whether they had reascended to their frames. I entered, and made desperately for the fire-place, but scarce had I advanced three strides, when Messire Foolques Taillefer stood before me, in the centre of the hall, armed cap-'-pie, and standing in guard, with the point of his sword silently presented to me. I would have retreated to the stair-case, but the door of it was occupied by the phantom figure of an esquire, who rudely flung a gauntlet in my face. Driven to fury, I snatched down a sword from the wall: by chance, it was that of the commander which I had placed there. I rushed upon my fantastic adversary, and seemed to pierce him through and through; but at the same time I felt as if something pierced my heart, burning like a red-hot iron. My blood inundated the hall, and I fell senseless.\n'When I recovered consciousness, it was broad day, and I found myself in a small chamber, attended by the warder and the hermit. The former told me that on the previous night, he had awakened long after the midnight hour, and perceiving that I had not come to his chamber, he had furnished himself with a vase of holy water, and set out to seek me. He found me stretched senseless on the pavement of the armory, and bore me to this room. I spoke of my wound, and of the quantity of blood that I had lost. He shook his head, and knew nothing about it; and to my surprise, on examination, I found myself perfectly sound and unharmed. The wound and blood, therefore, had been all delusion. Neither the warder nor the hermit put any questions to me, but advised me to leave the castle as soon as possible. I lost no time in complying with their counsel, and felt my heart relieved from an oppressive weight, as I left the gloomy and fate-bound battlements of T'tefoulques behind me.\n'I arrived at Bayonne, on my way to Spain, on the following Friday. At midnight I was startled from my sleep, as I had formerly been; but it was no longer by the vision of the dying commander. It was old Foulques Taillefer who stood before me, armed cap-'-pie, and presenting the point of his sword. I made the sign of the cross, and the spectre vanished, but I received the same red-hot thrust in the heart which I had felt in the armory, and I seemed to be bathed in blood. I would have called out, or have arisen from my bed and gone in quest of succor, but I could neither speak nor stir. This agony endured until the crowing of the cock, when I fell asleep again; but the next day I was ill, and in a most pitiable state. I have continued to be harassed by the same vision every Friday night; no acts of penitence and devotion have been able to relieve me from it; and it is only a lingering hope in divine mercy, that sustains me, and enables me to support so lamentable a visitation.'\n-    -    -    -    -    -    -\nThe Grand Prior of Minorca wasted gradually away under this constant remorse of conscience, and this horrible incubus. He died some time after having revealed the preceding particulars of his case, evidently the victim of a diseased imagination.\nThe above relation has been rendered, in many parts literally, from the French memoir, in which it is given as a true story: if so, it is one of those instances in which truth is more romantic than fiction.\n"}]}

Ellayne!\nThey cannot love like you can, who\nWould burn your hands off, if that pain\nCould win a kiss; am I not true\nTo you for ever? therefore I\nDo not fear death or anything;\nIf I should limp home wounded, why,\nWhile I lay sick you would but sing,\nAnd soothe me into quiet sleep.\nIf they spat on the recreant knight,\nThrew stones at him, and cursed him deep,\nWhy then: what then? your hand would light\nSo gently on his drawn-up face,\nAnd you would kiss him, and in soft\nCool scented clothes would lap him, pace\nThe quiet room and weep oft, oft\nWould turn and smile, and brush his cheek\nWith your sweet chin and mouth; and in\nThe order'd garden you would seek\nThe biggest roses: any sin.\nAnd these say: No more now my knight,\nOr God's knight any longer: you,\nBeing than they so much more white,\nSo much more pure and good and true,\nWill cling to me for ever; there,\nIs not that wrong turn'd right at last\nThrough all these years, and I wash'd clean?\nSay, yea, Ellayne; the time is past,\nSince on that Christmas-day last year\nUp to your feet the fire crept,\nAnd the smoke through the brown leaves sere\nBlinded your dear eyes that you wept;\nWas it not I that caught you then,\nAnd kiss'd you on the saddle-bow?\nDid not the blue owl mark the men\nWhose spears stood like the corn a-row?\nThis Oliver is a right good knight,\nAnd must needs beat me, as I fear,\nUnless I catch him in the fight,\nMy father's crafty way: John, here!\nBring up the men from the south gate,\nTo help me if I fall or win,\nFor even if I beat, their hate\nWill grow to more than this mere grin."}]}

Now, hear this: I waited for the train at Coventry;\nI hung with grooms and porters on the bridge,\nTo match the three tall spires; and there I shaped\nThe city's ancient legend into this:'\nNot only we, the latest seed of Time,\nNew men, that in the flying of a wheel\nCry down the past, not only we, that prate\nOf rights and wrongs, have loved the people well,\nAnd loathed to see them overtax'd; but she\nDid more, and underwent, and overcame,\nThe woman of a thousand summers back,\nGodiva, wife to that grim Earl, who ruled\nIn Coventry: for when he laid a tax\nUpon his town, and all the mothers brought\nTheir children, clamouring, 'If we pay, we starve!'\nShe sought her lord, and found him, where he strode\nAbout the hall, among his dogs, alone,\nHis beard a foot before him, and his hair\nA yard behind. She told him of their tears,\nAnd pray'd him, 'If they pay this tax, they starve'.\nWhereat he stared, replying, half-amazed,\n'You would not let your little finger ache\nFor such as these?'''But I would die,' said she.\nHe laugh'd, and swore by Peter and by Paul;\nThen fillip'd at the diamond in her ear;\n'O ay, ay, ay, you talk!'''Alas!' she said,\n'But prove me what it is I would not do.'\nAnd from a heart as rough as Esau's hand,\nHe answer'd, 'Ride you naked thro' the town,\nAnd I repeal it'; and nodding as in scorn,\nHe parted, with great strides among his dogs.\nSo left alone, the passions of her mind,\nAs winds from all the compass shift and blow,\nMade war upon each other for an hour,\nTill pity won. She sent a herald forth,\nAnd bad him cry, with sound of trumpet, all\nThe hard condition; but that she would loose\nThe people: therefore, as they loved her well,\nFrom then till noon no foot should pace the street,\nNo eye look down, she passing; but that all\nShould keep within, door shut, and window barr'd.\nThen fled she to her inmost bower, and there\nUnclasp'd the wedded eagles of her belt,\nThe grim Earl's gift; but ever at a breath\nShe linger'd, looking like a summer moon\nHalf-dipt in cloud: anon she shook her head,\nAnd shower'd the rippled ringlets to her knee;\nUnclad herself in haste; adown the stair\nStole on; and, like a creeping sunbeam, slid\nFrom pillar unto pillar, until she reach'd\nThe gateway; there she found her palfrey trapt\nIn purple blazon'd with armorial gold.\nThen she rode forth, clothed on with chastity:\nThe deep air listen'd round her as she rode,\nAnd all the low wind hardly breathed for fear.\nThe little wide-mouth'd heads upon the spout\nHad cunning eyes to see: the barking cur\nMade her cheek flame: her palfrey's footfall shot\nLight horrors thro' her pulses: the blind walls\nWere full of chinks and holes; and overhead\nFantastic gables, crowding, stared: but she\nNot less thro' all bore up, till, last, she saw\nThe white-flower'd elder-thicket from the field\nGleam thro' the Gothic archways in the wall.\nThen she rode back cloth'd on with chastity:\nAnd one low churl, compact of thankless earth,\nThe fatal byword of all years to come,\nBoring a little auger-hole in fear,\nPeep'd'but his eyes, before they had their will,\nWere shrivell'd into darkness in his head,\nAnd dropt before him. So the Powers, who wait\nOn noble deeds, cancell'd a sense misused;\nAnd she, that knew not, pass'd: and all at once,\nWith twelve great shocks of sound, the shameless noon\nWas clash'd and hammer'd from a hundred towers,\nOne after one: but even then she gain'd\nHer bower; whence reissuing, robed and crown'd,\nTo meet her lord, she took the tax away,\nAnd built herself an everlasting name."}]}

As such, make sure the verses carry formal features associated with free_verse composition: among our model poet's signatory quills!"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Here is a poem in the style of Frank Sidgwick. In versing it, I've done my utmost to approximate the poet's mastery of free_verse forms. May this – my modest utmost – please your muse! Now, hear this: 'He is weil kend, Johne of the Syde,\nA greater theif did never ryde.'\nSir Richard Maitland.\nThe Text is from the Percy Folio, but is given in modernised spelling. It lacks the beginning, probably, and one line in st. 3, which can be easily guessed; but as a whole it is an infinitely fresher and better ballad than that inserted in the Minstrelsy of Sir Walter Scott.\nThe Story is akin to that of Kinmont Willie (p. 49). John of the Side (on the river Liddel, nearly opposite Mangerton) first appears about 1550 in a list of freebooters against whom complaints were laid before the Bishop of Carlisle. He was, it seems, another of the Armstrong family.\nHobby Noble has a ballad[1] to himself (as the hero of the present ballad deserves), in which mention is made of Peter of Whitfield. This is doubtless the person mentioned in the first line of John o' the Side as having been killed presumably by John himself.\n[Footnote 1: Child, No. 189, from Caw's Poetical Museum, but not\nof sufficient merit to be included here.]\n'Culertun,' 10.1, is Chollerton on the Tyne. Percy suggests Challerton, and in the ballads upon which Scott founded his version the name is 'Choler-ford.' 'Howbrame wood' and 'Lord Clough' are not identified; and Flanders files, effective as they appear to be, are not otherwise known.\n'The ballad,' says Professor Child, 'is one of the best in the world, and enough to make a horse-trooper of any young borderer, had he lacked the impulse.'\nJOHN O' THE SIDE\n1.\nPeter o' Whifield he hath slain,\nAnd John o' Side, he is ta'en,\nAnd John is bound both hand and foot,\nAnd to the New-castle he is gone.\n2.\nBut tidings came to the Sybil o' the Side,\nBy the water-side as she ran;\nShe took her kirtle by the hem,\nAnd fast she run to Mangerton.\n3.\n...     ...     ...\nThe lord was set down at his meat;\nWhen these tidings she did him tell,\nNever a morsel might he eat.\n4.\nBut lords they wrung their fingers white,\nLadies did pull themselves by the hair,\nCrying 'Alas and welladay!\nFor John o' the Side we shall never see more.\n5.\n'But we'll go sell our droves of kine,\nAnd after them our oxen sell,\nAnd after them our troops of sheep,\nBut we will loose him out of the New Castell.'\n6.\nBut then bespake him Hobby Noble,\nAnd spoke these words wondrous high;\nSays, 'Give me five men to myself,\nAnd I'll fetch John o' the Side to thee.'\n7.\n'Yea, thou'st have five, Hobby Noble,\nOf the best that are in this country;\nI'll give thee five thousand, Hobby Noble,\nThat walk in Tyvidale truly.'\n8.\n'Nay, I'll have but five,' says Hobby Noble,\n'That shall walk away with me;\nWe will ride like no men of war,\nBut like poor badgers we will be.'\n9.\nThey stuffed up all their bags with straw,\nAnd their steeds barefoot must be;\n'Come on, my brethren,' says Hobby Noble,\n'Come on your ways, and go with me.'\n10.\nAnd when they came to Culerton ford,\nThe water was up, they could it not go;\nAnd then they were ware of a good old man,\nHow his boy and he were at the plough.\n11.\n'But stand you still,' says Hobby Noble,\n'Stand you still here at this shore,\nAnd I will ride to yonder old man,\nAnd see where the gate it lies o'er.\n12.\n'But Christ you save, father!' quoth he,\n'Christ both you save and see!\nWhere is the way over this ford?\nFor Christ's sake tell it me.'\n13.\n'But I have dwelled here three score year,\nSo have I done three score and three;\nI never saw man nor horse go o'er,\nExcept it were a horse of tree.'\n14.\n'But fare thou well, thou good old man!\nThe devil in hell I leave with thee,\nNo better comfort here this night\nThou gives my brethren here and me.'\n15.\nBut when he came to his brether again,\nAnd told this tidings full of woe,\nAnd then they found a well good gate\nThey might ride o'er by two and two.\n16.\nAnd when they were come over the ford,\nAll safe gotten at the last,\n'Thanks be to God!' says Hobby Noble,\n'The worst of our peril is past.'\n17.\nAnd then they came into Howbrame wood,\nAnd there then they found a tree,\nAnd cut it down then by the root.\nThe length was thirty foot and three.\n18.\nAnd four of them did take the plank,\nAs light as it had been a flea,\nAnd carried it to the New Castle,\nWhere as John o' Side did lie.\n19.\nAnd some did climb up by the walls,\nAnd some did climb up by the tree,\nUntil they came up to the top of the castle,\nWhere John made his moan truly.\n20.\nHe said, 'God be with thee, Sybil o' the Side!\nMy own mother thou art,' quoth he;\n'If thou knew this night I were here,\nA woe woman then wouldst thou be.\n21.\n'And fare you well, Lord Mangerton!\nAnd ever I say God be with thee!\nFor if you knew this night I were here,\nYou would sell your land for to loose me.\n22.\n'And fare thou well, Much, Miller's son!\nMuch, Miller's son, I say;\nThou has been better at mirk midnight\nThan ever thou was at noon o' the day.\n23.\n'And fare thou well, my good lord Clough!\nThou art thy father's son and heir;\nThou never saw him in all thy life\nBut with him durst thou break a spear.\n24.\n'We are brothers childer nine or ten,\nAnd sisters children ten or eleven;\nWe never came to the field to fight,\nBut the worst of us was counted a man.'\n25.\nBut then bespake him Hobby Noble,\nAnd spake these words unto him;\nSays 'Sleepest thou, wakest thou, John o' the Side,\nOr art thou this castle within?'\n26.\n'But who is there,' quoth John o' the Side,\n'That knows my name so right and free?'\n'I am a bastard-brother of thine;\nThis night I am comen for to loose thee.'\n27.\n'Now nay, now nay,' quoth John o' the Side,\n'It fears me sore that will not be,\nFor a peck of gold and silver,' John said,\n'In faith this night will not loose me.'\n28.\nBut then bespake him Hobby Noble,\nAnd till his brother thus said he;\nSays 'Four shall take this matter in hand,\nAnd two shall tent our geldings free.'\n29.\nFour did break one door without,\nThen John brake five himsel';\nBut when they came to the iron door,\nIt smote twelve upon the bell.\n30.\n'It fears me sore,' said Much, the Miller,\n'That here taken we all shall be;'\n'But go away, brethren,' said John o' the Side,\n'For ever alas! this will not be.'\n31.\n'But fie upon thee!' said Hobby Noble;\n'Much, the Miller, fie upon thee!\nIt sore fears me,' said Hobby Noble,\n'Man that thou wilt never be.'\n32.\nBut then he had Flanders files two or thee,\nAnd he filed down that iron door,\nAnd took John out of the New Castle,\nAnd said 'Look thou never come here more!'\n33.\nWhen he had him forth of the New Castle,\n'Away with me, John, thou shalt ride.'\nBut ever alas! it could not be,\nFor John could neither sit nor stride.\n34.\nBut then he had sheets two or three,\nAnd bound John's bolts fast to his feet,\nAnd set him on a well good steed,\nHimself on another by him set.\n35.\nThen Hobby Noble smiled and lough,\nAnd spoke these words in mickle pride;\n'Thou sits so finely on thy gelding\nThat, John, thou rides like a bride.'\n36.\nAnd when they came thorough Howbrame town,\nJohn's horse there stumbled at a stone;\n'Out and alas!' cried Much, the Miller,\n'John, thou'll make us all be ta'en.'\n37.\n'But fie upon thee!' says Hobby Noble,\n'Much, the Miller, fie on thee!\nI know full well,' says Hobby Noble,\n'Man that thou wilt never be.'\n38.\nAnd when they came into Howbrame wood,\nHe had Flanders files two or three\nTo file John's bolts beside his feet,\nThat he might ride more easily.\n39.\nSays 'John, now leap over a steed!'\nAnd John then he lope over five.\n'I know well,' says Hobby Noble,\n'John, thy fellow is not alive.'\n40.\nThen he brought him home to Mangerton;\nThe lord then he was at his meat;\nBut when John o' the Side he there did see,\nFor fain he could no more eat.\n41.\nHe says 'Blest be thou, Hobby Noble,\nThat ever thou wast man born!\nThou hast fetched us home good John o' the Side,\nThat was now clean from us gone.'"}]}

I'll give them trouble.'\nHe verified his words.\nThe moon, that shined full on the oak,\nSeem'd then to help the turkey folk.\nBut fox, in arts of siege well versed,\nRansack'd his bag of tricks accursed.\nHe feign'd himself about to climb;\nWalk'd on his hinder legs sublime;\nThen death most aptly counterfeited,\nAnd seem'd anon resuscitated.\nA practiser of wizard arts\nCould not have fill'd so many parts.\nIn moonlight he contrived to raise\nHis tail, and make it seem a blaze:\nAnd countless other tricks like that.\nMeanwhile, no turkey slept or sat.\nTheir constant vigilance at length,\nAs hoped the fox, wore out their strength.\nBewilder'd by the rigs he run,\nThey lost their balance one by one.\nAs Renard slew, he laid aside,\nTill nearly half of them had died;\nThen proudly to his larder bore,\nAnd laid them up, an ample store.\nA foe, by being over-heeded,\nHas often in his plan succeeded."}]}

As such, make sure the verses carry formal features associated with sonnet composition: among our model poet's signatory quills!"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Here is a poem in the style of George MacDonald. In versing it, I've done my utmost to approximate the poet's mastery of sonnet forms. May this – my modest utmost – please your muse! Now, hear this: Long ago, there lived far to the west a very young man, good, but extremely odd. He tormented himself continually about this nothing and that nothing, always walked in silence and straight before him, sat down alone when the others were at their sports and merry-makings, and brooded over strange things. Caves and woods were his dearest haunts; and there he talked on and on with beasts and birds, with trees and rocks--of course not one rational word, but mere idiotic stuff, to make one laugh to death. He continued, however, always moody and serious, in spite of the utmost pains that the squirrel, the monkey, the parrot, and the bullfinch could take to divert him, and set him in the right way. The goose told stories, the brook jingled a ballad between, a great thick stone cut ridiculous capers, the rose stole lovingly about him from behind and crept through his locks, while the ivy stroked his troubled brow. But his melancholy and gravity were stubborn. His parents were much troubled, and did not know what to do. He was in good health, and ate well enough; they had never caused him any offence; and, until a few years ago, he had been the liveliest and merriest of them all, foremost in all their games, and a favourite with all the maidens. He was very handsome, looked like a picture, and danced like an angel. Amongst the maidens was one, a charming and beautiful creature, who looked like wax, had hair like golden silk, and cherry-red lips, was a doll for size, and had coal-black, yes, raven-black eyes. Whoever saw her was ready to swoon, she was so lovely. Now Rosebud, for that was her name, was heartily fond of the handsome Hyacinth, for that was his name, and he loved her fit to die. The other children knew nothing of it. A violet told them of it first. The little house-cats had been quite aware of it, for the houses of their parents lay near each other. So when Hyacinth stood at night by his window, and Rosebud at hers, and the cats ran past mouse-hunting, they saw the two standing there, and often laughed and tittered so loud that they heard it and were offended. The violet told it in confidence to the strawberry, and she told it to her friend, the raspberry, who never ceased rasping when Hyacinth came along; so that by and by the whole garden and wood were in the secret, and when Hyacinth went out, he heard on all sides the cry: \"Little Rosy is my posy!\" This vexed him; but the next moment he could not help laughing from the bottom of his heart, when the little lizard came slipping along, sat down on a warm stone, waggled his tail, and sang--\n\"Little Rosebud, good and wise,\nAll at once has lost her eyes:\nTaking Hyacinth for her mother,\nRound his neck her arms she flings;\nThen perceiving 'tis another--\nStarts with terror?--no, but clings--\nThink of that!--fast as before,\nOnly kissing all the more!\"\nAlas, how soon was the grand time over! There came a man out of strange lands, who had travelled wondrous far and wide, had a long beard, deep eyes, frightful eyebrows, and a strange garment with many folds, and inwoven with curious figures. He seated himself before the house of Hyacinth's parents. Hyacinth at once became very inquisitive, and sat down beside him, and brought him bread and wine. Then parted he his white beard, and told stories deep into the night; and Hyacinth never stirred or tired of listening. This much they learned afterward, that he talked a great deal about strange lands, unknown countries, and amazingly wonderful things; stopped there three days, and crept with Hyacinth down into deep shafts. Little Rosebud execrated the old sorcerer pretty thoroughly, for Hyacinth was altogether absorbed in his conversation, and paid no heed to anything else, hardly even to the swallowing of a mouthful of food. At length the man took his departure, but left with Hyacinth a little book which no man could read. Hyacinth gave him fruit, and bread, and wine to take with him, and accompanied him a long way. Then he came back sunk in thought, and thereafter took up a quite new mode of life. Rosebud was in a very sad way about him, for from that time forward he made little of her, and kept himself always to himself. But it came to pass that one day he came home, and was like one born again. He fell on his parents' neck and wept. \"I must away to a foreign land!\" he said: \"the strange old woman in the wood has told me what I must do to get well; she has thrown the book into the fire, and has made me come to you to ask your blessing. Perhaps I shall be back soon, perhaps never more. Say good-bye to Rosebud for me. I should have been glad to have a talk with her; I do not know what has come to me: I must go! When I would think to recall old times, immediately come thoughts more potent in between; my rest is gone, and my heart and love with it; and I must go find them! I would gladly tell you whither, but do not myself know; it is where dwells the mother of things, the virgin with the veil; for her my spirit is on fire. Farewell!\" He tore himself from them, and went out. His parents lamented and shed tears. Rosebud kept her chamber, and wept bitterly.\nHyacinth now ran, as fast as he could, through valleys and wildernesses, over mountains and streams, toward the land of mystery. Everywhere he inquired--of men and beasts, of rocks and trees,--after the sacred goddess Isis. Many laughed, many held their peace; nowhere did he get an answer. At first he passed through a rugged wild country; mists and clouds threw themselves in his way, but he rushed on impetuously. Then he came to boundless deserts of sand--mere glowing dust; and as he went his mood changed also; the time became tedious to him, and his inward unrest abated; he grew gentler, and the stormy impulse in him passed by degrees into a mild yet powerful attraction, wherein his whole spirit was dissolved. It seemed as if many years lay behind him.\nAnd now the country became again richer and more varied, the air soft and blue, the way smoother. Green bushes enticed him with their pleasant shadows, but he did not understand their speech; they seemed indeed not to speak, and yet they filled his heart with their green hues, and their cool, still presence. Ever higher in him waxed that same sweet longing, and ever broader and juicier grew the leaves, ever louder and more jocund the birds and beasts, balmier the fruits, darker the heavenly blue, warmer the air, and more ardent his love. The time went ever faster, as if it knew itself near the goal.\nOne day he met a crystal rivulet, and a multitude of flowers, coming down into a valley between dark, columnar cliffs. They greeted him friendlily, with familiar words. \"Dear country-folk,\" said he, \"where shall I find the sacred dwelling of Isis? Hereabouts it must be, and here, I guess, you are more at home than I.\" \"We also are but passing through,\" replied the flowers; \"a spirit-family is on its travels, and we are preparing for them their road and quarters. A little way back, however, we passed through a country where we heard her name mentioned. Only go up, where we came down, and thou wilt soon learn more.\" The flowers and the brook smiled as they said it, offered him a cool draught, and went on their way. Hyacinth followed their counsel, kept asking, and came at last to that dwelling he had sought so long, which lay hid among palms and other rare plants. His heart beat with an infinite longing, and the sweetest apprehension thrilled him in this abode of the eternal seasons. Amid heavenly odours he fell asleep, for Dream alone could lead him into the holy of holies. In marvellous mode Dream conducted him through endless rooms full of strange things, by means of witching sounds and changeful harmonies. All seemed to him so familiar, and yet strange with an unknown splendour; then vanished the last film of the perishable as if melted into air, and he stood before the celestial virgin. Then he lifted the thin glistening veil, and-- Rosebud sank into his arms. A far-off music surrounded the mysteries of love's reunion and the outpouring of their longings, and shut out from the scene of their rapture everything alien to it.\nHyacinth lived a long time after with Rosebud and his happy parents and old playmates; and numberless grandchildren thanked the wonderful old wise woman for her counsel and her uprousing; for in those days people had as many children as they pleased.\n"}]}

Now, hear this: 'I don't very well understand what it's all about,' said my uncle. 'I won't say I didn't drop into a doze while the young man was drivelling through his latter soliloquies. But there was a great deal that was unmeaning, vague, and involved; and what was most plain, was least decent and least moral.'\n'Dear sir,' said I, 'says the proverb 'Needs must when the devil drives;' and if the devil is to speak '\n'Well,' said my uncle, 'why should he? Nobody asked him. Not that he didn't say much which, if only it hadn't been for the way he said it, and that it was he who said it, would have been sensible enough.'\n'But,' sir,' said I, 'perhaps he wasn't a devil after all. That's the beauty of the poem; nobody can say. You see, dear sir, the thing which it is attempted to represent is the conflict between the tender conscience and the world. Now, the over-tender conscience will, of course, exaggerate the wickedness of the world; and the Spirit in my poem may be merely the hypothesis or subjective imagination formed '\n'Oh, for goodness' sake, my dear boy,' interrupted my uncle, 'don't go into the theory of it. If you're wrong in it, it makes bad worse; if you're right, you may be a critic, but you can't be a poet. And then you know very well I don't understand all those new words. But as for that, I quite agree that consciences are much too tender in your generation schoolboys' consciences, too! As my old friend the Canon says of the Westminster students, 'They're all so pious.' It's all Arnold's doing; he spoilt the public schools.'\n'My dear uncle,' said I, 'how can so venerable a sexagenarian utter so juvenile a paradox? How often have I not heard you lament the idleness and listlessness, the boor- ishness and vulgar tyranny, the brutish manners alike, and minds '\n'Ah,' said my uncle, 'I may have fallen in occasionally with the talk of the day; but at seventy one begins to see clearer into the bottom of one's mind. In middle life one says so many things in the way of business. Not that I' mean that the old schools were perfect, any more than we old boys that were there. But whatever else they were or did, they certainly were in harmony with the world, and they certainly did not disqualify the country's youth for after-life and the country's service.'\n'But, my dear sir, this bringing the schools of the country into harmony with public opinion is exactly '\n'Don't interrupt me with public opinion, my dear nephew; you'll quote me a leading article next. 'Young men must be young men,' as the worthy head of your college said to me touching a case of rustication. 'My dear sir,' said I, 'I only wish to heaven they would be; but as for my own nephews, they seem to me a sort of hobbadi-hoy cherub, too big to be innocent, and too simple for anything else. They're full of the notion of the world being so wicked, and of their taking a higher line, as they call it. I only fear they'll never take any line at all.' What is the true purpose of education? Simply to make plain to the young understanding the laws of the life they will have to enter. For example that lying won't do, thieving still less; that idleness will get punished; that if they are cowards, the whole world will be against them; that if they will have their own way, they must fight for it. As for the conscience, mamma, I take it such as mammas are now-a-days, at any rate has probably set that agoing fast enough already. What a blessing to see her good little child come back a brave young devil-may-care!'\n'Exactly, my dear sir. As if at twelve or fourteen a round-about boy, with his three meals a day inside him, is likely to be over-troubled with scruples.'\n'Put him through a strong course of confirmation and sacraments, backed up with sermons and private admonitions, and what is much the same as auricular confession, and really, my dear nephew, I can't answer for it but he mayn't turn out as great a goose as you pardon me were about the age of eighteen or nineteen.'\n'But to have passed through that, my dear sir! surely that can be no harm.'\n'I don't know. Your constitutions don't seem to recover it quite. We did without these foolish measles well enough in my time.'\n'Westminster had its Cowper, my dear sir; and other schools had theirs also, mute and inglorious, but surely not few.'\n'Ah, ah! the beginning of troubles.'\n'You see, my dear sir, you must not refer it to Arnold, at all at all. Anything that Arnold did in this direction    '\n'Why, my dear boy, how often have I not heard from you, how he used to attack offences, not as offences the right view against discipline, but as sin, heinous guilt, I don't know what beside! Why didn't he flog them and hold his tongue? Flog them he did, but why preach?'\n'If he did err in this way, sir, which I hardly think, I ascribe it to the spirit of the time. The real cause of the evil you complain of, which to a certain extent I admit, was, I take it, the religious movement of the last century, beginning with Wesleyanism, and culminating at last in Puseyism. This over-excitation of the religious sense, resulting in this irrational, almost animal irritability of conscience, was, in many ways, as foreign to Arnold as it is proper to '\n'Well, well, my dear nephew, if you like to make a theory of it, pray write it out for yourself nicely in full; but your poor old uncle does not like theories, and is moreover sadly sleepy.'\n'Good night, dear uncle, good night.

No!\nStern Art--what sons escape her?\nSoon I was drawing Gladstone's nose\nOn scraps of blotting paper.\nThen on--to play one-fingered tunes\nUpon my aunt's piano.\nIn short, I have a headlong soul,\nI much resemble Hanno.\n(Forgive the entrance of the not\nToo cogent Carthaginian.\nIt may have been to make a rhyme;\nI lean to that opinion).\nThen my great work of book research\nTill dusk I took in hand--\nThe forming of a final, sound\nOpinion on _The Strand_.\nBut when I quenched the midnight oil,\nAnd closed _The Referee_,\nWhose thirty volumes folio\nI take to bed with me,\nI had a rather funny dream,\nIntense, that is, and mystic;\nI dreamed that, with one leap and yell,\nThe world became artistic.\nThe Shopmen, when their souls were still,\nDeclined to open shops--\nAnd Cooks recorded frames of mind\nIn sad and subtle chops.\nThe stars were weary of routine:\nThe trees in the plantation\nWere growing every fruit at once,\nIn search of a sensation.\nThe moon went for a moonlight stroll,\nAnd tried to be a bard,\nAnd gazed enraptured at itself:\nI left it trying hard.\nThe sea had nothing but a mood\nOf 'vague ironic gloom,'\nWith which t'explain its presence in\nMy upstairs drawing-room.\nThe sun had read a little book\nThat struck him with a notion:\nHe drowned himself and all his fires\nDeep in the hissing ocean.\nThen all was dark, lawless, and lost:\nI heard great devilish wings:\nI knew that Art had won, and snapt\nThe Covenant of Things.\nI cried aloud, and I awoke,\nNew labours in my head.\nI set my teeth, and manfully\nBegan to lie in bed.\nToiling, rejoicing, sorrowing,\nSo I my life conduct.\nEach morning see some task begun,\nEach evening see it chucked.\nBut still, in sudden moods of dusk,\nI hear those great weird wings,\nFeel vaguely thankful to the vast\nStupidity of things."}]}

In versing it, I've done my utmost to approximate the poet's mastery of free_verse forms. May this – my modest utmost – please your muse! Now, hear this: At noon, upon the mountain's purple height,\nAbove the pine-woods and the clouds it shone\nNo larger than the small white dome of shell\nLeft by the fledgling wren when wings are born.\nBy night it joined the company of heaven,\nAnd, with its constant light, became a star.\nA needle-point of light, minute, remote,\nIt sent a subtler message through the abyss,\nHeld more significance for the seeing eye\nThan all the darkness that would blot it out,\nYet could not dwarf it.\nHigh in heaven it shone,\nAlive with all the thoughts, and hopes, and dreams\nOf man's adventurous mind.\nUp there, I knew\nThe explorers of the sky, the pioneers\nOf science, now made ready to attack\nThat darkness once again, and win new worlds.\nTo-morrow night they hoped to crown the toil\nOf twenty years, and turn upon the sky\nThe noblest weapon ever made by man.\nWar had delayed them. They had been drawn away\nDesigning darker weapons. But no gun\nCould outrange this.\n\"To-morrow night\"--so wrote their chief--\"we try\nOur great new telescope, the hundred-inch.\nYour Milton's 'optic tube' has grown in power\nSince Galileo, famous, blind, and old,\nTalked with him, in that prison, of the sky.\nWe creep to power by inches. Europe trusts\nHer 'giant forty' still. Even to-night\nOur own old sixty has its work to do;\nAnd now our hundred-inch . . . I hardly dare\nTo think what this new muzzle of ours may find.\nCome up, and spend that night among the stars\nHere, on our mountain-top. If all goes well,\nThen, at the least, my friend, you'll see a moon\nStranger, but nearer, many a thousand mile\nThan earth has ever seen her, even in dreams.\nAs for the stars, if seeing them were all,\nThree thousand million new-found points of light\nIs our rough guess. But never speak of this.\nYou know our press. They'd miss the one result\nTo flash 'three thousand millions' round the world.\"\nTo-morrow night! For more than twenty years,\nThey had thought and planned and worked. Ten years had gone,\nOne-fourth, or more, of man's brief working life,\nBefore they made those solid tons of glass,\nTheir hundred-inch reflector, the clear pool,\nThe polished flawless pool that it must be\nTo hold the perfect image of a star.\nAnd, even now, some secret flaw--none knew\nUntil to-morrow's test--might waste it all.\nWhere was the gambler that would stake so much,--\nTime, patience, treasure, on a single throw?\nThe cost of it,--they'd not find that again,\nEither in gold or life-stuff! All their youth\nWas fuel to the flame of this one work.\nOnce in a lifetime to the man of science,\nDespite what fools believe his ice-cooled blood,\nThere comes this drama.\nIf he fails, he fails\nUtterly. He at least will have no time\nFor fresh beginnings. Other men, no doubt,\nYears hence, will use the footholes that he cut\nIn those precipitous cliffs, and reach the height,\nBut he will never see it.\"\nSo for me,\nThe light words of that letter seemed to hide\nThe passion of a lifetime, and I shared\nThe crowning moment of its hope and fear.\nNext day, through whispering aisles of palm we rode\nUp to the foot-hills, dreaming desert-hills\nThat to assuage their own delicious drought\nHad set each tawny sun-kissed slope ablaze\nWith peach and orange orchards.\nUp and up,\nAlong the thin white trail that wound and climbed\nAnd zig-zagged through the grey-green mountain sage,\nThe car went crawling, till the shining plain\nBelow it, like an airman's map, unrolled.\nHouses and orchards dwindled to white specks\nIn midget cubes and squares of tufted green.\nOnce, as we rounded one steep curve, that made\nThe head swim at the canyoned gulf below,\nWe saw through thirty miles of lucid air\nElvishly small, sharp as a crumpled petal\nBlown from the stem, a yard away, a sail\nLazily drifting on the warm blue sea.\nUp for nine miles along that spiral trail\nSlowly we wound to reach the lucid height\nAbove the clouds, where that white dome of shell,\nNo wren's now, but an eagle's, took the flush\nOf dying day. The sage-brush all died out,\nAnd all the southern growths, and round us now,\nFirs of the north, and strong, storm-rooted pines\nExhaled a keener fragrance; till, at last,\nReversing all the laws of lesser hills,\nThey towered like giants round us. Darkness fell\nBefore we reached the mountain's naked height.\nOver us, like some great cathedral dome,\nThe observatory loomed against the sky;\nAnd the dark mountain with its headlong gulfs\nHad lost all memory of the world below;\nFor all those cloudless throngs of glittering stars\nAnd all those glimmerings where the abyss of space\nIs powdered with a milky dust, each grain\nA burning sun, and every sun the lord\nOf its own darkling planets,--all those lights\nMet, in a darker deep, the lights of earth,\nLights on the sea, lights of invisible towns,\nTrembling and indistinguishable from stars,\nIn those black gulfs around the mountain's feet.\nThen, into the glimmering dome, with bated breath,\nWe entered, and, above us, in the gloom\nSaw that majestic weapon of the light\nUptowering like the shaft of some huge gun\nThrough one arched rift of sky.\nDark at its base\nWith naked arms, the crew that all day long\nHad sweated to make ready for this night\nWaited their captain's word.\nThe switchboard shone\nWith elfin lamps of white and red, and keys\nWhence, at a finger's touch, that monstrous tube\nMoved like a creature dowered with life and will,\nTo peer from deep to deep.\nBelow it pulsed\nThe clock-machine that slowly, throb by throb,\nTimed to the pace of the revolving earth,\nDrove the titanic muzzle on and on,\nFixed to the chosen star that else would glide\nOut of its field of vision.\nSo, set free\nBalanced against the wheel of time, it swung,\nOr rested, while, to find new realms of sky\nThe dome that housed it, like a moon revolved,\nSo smoothly that the watchers hardly knew\nThey moved within; till, through the glimmering doors,\nThey saw the dark procession of the pines\nLike Indian warriors, quietly stealing by.\nThen, at a word, the mighty weapon dipped\nIts muzzle and aimed at one small point of light\nOne seeming insignificant star.\nThe chief,\nMounting the ladder, while we held our breath,\nLooked through the eye-piece.\nThen we heard him laugh\nHis thanks to God, and hide it in a jest.\n\"A prominence on Jupiter!\"--\nThey laughed,\n\"What do you mean?\"--\"It's moving,\" cried the chief,\nThey laughed again, and watched his glimmering face\nHigh overhead against that moving tower.\n\"Come up and see, then!\"\nOne by one they went,\nAnd, though each laughed as he returned to earth,\nTheir souls were in their eyes.\nThen I, too, looked,\nAnd saw that insignificant spark of light\nTouched with new meaning, beautifully reborn,\nA swimming world, a perfect rounded pearl,\nPoised in the violet sky; and, as I gazed,\nI saw a miracle,--right on its upmost edge\nA tiny mound of white that slowly rose,\nThen, like an exquisite seed-pearl, swung quite clear\nAnd swam in heaven above its parent world\nTo greet its three bright sister-moons.\nA moon,\nOf Jupiter, no more, but clearer far\nThan mortal eyes had seen before from earth,\nO, beautiful and clear beyond all dreams\nWas that one silver phrase of the starry tune\nWhich Galileo's \"old discoverer\" first\nDimly revealed, dissolving into clouds\nThe imagined fabric of our universe.\n\"Jupiter stands in heaven and will stand\nThough all the sycophants bark at him,\" he cried,\nHailing the truth before he, too, went down,\nWhelmed in the cloudy wreckage of that dream.\nSo one by one we looked, the men who served\nUrania, and the men from Vulcan's forge.\nA beautiful eagerness in the darkness lit\nThe swarthy faces that too long had missed\nA meaning in the dull mechanic maze\nOf labour on this blind earth, but found it now.\nThough only a moment's wandering melody\nHopelessly far above, it gave their toil\nIts only consecration and its joy.\nThere, with dark-smouldering eyes and naked throats,\nBlue-dungareed, red-shirted, grimed and smeared\nWith engine-grease and sweat, they gathered round\nThe foot of that dim ladder; each muttering low\nAs he came down, his wonder at what he saw\nTo those who waited,--a picture for the brush\nOf Rembrandt, lighted only by the rift\nAbove them, where the giant muzzle thrust\nOut through the dim arched roof, and slowly throbbed,\nAgainst the slowly moving wheel of the earth,\nHolding their chosen star.\nThere, like an elf,\nPerched on the side of that dark slanting tower\nThe Italian mechanician watched the moons,\nThat Italy discovered.\nOne by one,\nAmerican, English, French, and Dutch, they climbed\nTo see the wonder that their own blind hands\nHad helped to achieve.\nAt midnight while they paused\nTo adjust the clock-machine, I wandered out\nAlone, into the silence of the night.\nThe silence? On that lonely height I heard\nEternal voices;\nFor, as I looked into the gulf beneath,\nWhence almost all the lights had vanished now,\nThe whole dark mountain seemed to have lost its earth\nAnd to be sailing like a ship through heaven.\nAll round it surged the mighty sea-like sound\nOf soughing pine-woods, one vast ebb and flow\nOf absolute peace, aloof from all earth's pain,\nSo calm, so quiet, it seemed the cradle-song,\nThe deep soft breathing of the universe\nOver its youngest child, the soul of man.\nAnd, as I listened, that Aeolian voice\nBecame an invocation and a prayer:\nO you, that on your loftier mountain dwell\nAnd move like light in light among the thoughts\nOf heaven, translating our mortality\nInto immortal song, is there not one\nAmong you that can turn to music now\nThis long dark fight for truth? Not one to touch\nWith beauty this long battle for the light,\nThis little victory of the spirit of man\nDoomed to defeat--for what was all we saw\nTo that which neither eyes nor soul could see?--\nDoomed to defeat and yet unconquerable,\nClimbing its nine miles nearer to the stars.\nWars we have sung. The blind, blood-boltered kings\nMove with an epic music to their thrones.\nHave you no song, then, of that nobler war?\nOf those who strove for light, but could not dream\nEven of this victory that they helped to win,\nSilent discoverers, lonely pioneers,\nPrisoners and exiles, martyrs of the truth\nWho handed on the fire, from age to age;\nOf those who, step by step, drove back the night\nAnd struggled, year on year, for one more glimpse\nAmong the stars, of sovran law, their guide;\nOf those who searching inward, saw the rocks\nDissolving into a new abyss, and saw\nThose planetary systems far within,\nAtoms, electrons, whirling on their way\nTo build and to unbuild our solid world;\nOf those who conquered, inch by difficult inch,\nThe freedom of this realm of law for man;\nDreamers of dreams, the builders of our hope,\nThe healers and the binders up of wounds,\nWho, while the dynasts drenched the world with blood,\nWould in the still small circle of a lamp\nWrestle with death like Heracles of old\nTo save one stricken child.\nIs there no song\nTo touch this moving universe of law\nWith ultimate light, the glimmer of that great dawn\nWhich over our ruined altars yet shall break\nIn purer splendour, and restore mankind\nFrom darker dreams than even Lucretius knew\nTo vision of that one Power which guides the world.\nHow should men find it? Only through those doors\nWhich, opening inward, in each separate soul\nGive each man access to that Soul of all\nLiving within each life, not to be found\nOr known, till, looking inward, each alone\nMeets the unknowable and eternal God.\nAnd there was one that moved like light in light\nBefore me there,--Love, human and divine,\nThat can exalt all weakness into power,--\nWhispering, Take this deathless torch of song...\nWhispering, but with such faith, that even I\nWas humbled into thinking this might be\nThrough love, though all the wisdom of the world\nAccount it folly.\nLet my breast be bared\nTo every shaft, then, so that Love be still\nMy one celestial guide the while I sing\nOf those who caught the pure Promethean fire\nOne from another, each crying as he went down\nTo one that waited, crowned with youth and joy,--\nTake thou the splendour, carry it out of sight\nInto the great new age I must not know,\nInto the great new realm I must not tread."}]}

Church, Ninth and Walnut Streets, Louisville, Ky., Wednesday evening, October 16th, 1907, while Miss Lula E. Johnson was singing \"Ave Maria.\"\nI have heard the mock-bird singing when the orchards were in bloom,\nAnd the sweetness of his music made the peacock don his plume;\nAy! I've heard cock-robin-redbreast chirping on a sunny day,\nAnd the skylark soaring skywards, merrily sing his festal lay;\nAnd the brown thrush and the bluebird thrill their little treble notes;\nAll the woodland songsters pouring songs of gladness from their throats - \nBut not one has touched so deeply, and not one has last so long\nAs the ever ringing cadence of sweet Lula Johnson's song!\nWhen the breeze has ceased to whisper and the night is soft and still,\nSave the awe-provoking shrilling of the ghastly whippoorwill,\nAs the moonbeams pour down brightly on the woodland, hill and dale,\nI oft listen at my window to the queenly nightingale;\nBut no song of merry woodland, neither hill, nor dale, nor dell,\nHas ever smote my bosom, nor has made my spirit swell,\nLike the soul-inspiring music that so softly glides along\nOh! so softly and so gently in sweet Lula Johnson's song!\nOh! my soul has caught the music, as it softly floats along - \nAh! the soul-entrancing music of sweet Lula Johnson's song!\nIf my feet shall ever falter, it shall cheer me on my way;\nAy, sustain and give me comfort, - make my feeble spirit gay.\nAll we need to have, my brothers, in our war of peace 'gainst strife,\nIs the cadence of sweet music sprinkled in to sweeten life;\nIt will sweeten all our bitters, which now seem so very long,\nIf we have it soft and gentle, as sweet Lula Johnson's song.\nIn the lonely hours of midnight, when fair Luna 'gins to pale,\nI have heard her songs a-ringing, floating softly on the gale.\nAnd I hope when dawns the morning, when I draw my fleeting breath,\nWhen my friends are gathered 'round me, and my eyes are closed in death - \nEre you throw the sods upon me, on my never-heaving breast,\nWhile my body's lying silent and my soul is seeking rest - \nThen I'll wing straight home to glory, for the journey won't be long,\nOn the spirit-wafting music of sweet Lula Johnson's song!"}]}

Alas!\nThe stream lies bleak and arid\nThat once went singing on;\nThe flowers once that varied\nIts banks are dead and gone:\nWhere these were once are thorns and thirst - \nThe place is curst.\nCome to me; I am lonely:\nForgive what you have heard. - \nCome to me; if for only\nOne last sad parting word:\nFor one last word before the pall\nFalls over all.\nThe day and hour are suited\nFor what I'd say to you\nOf love that I uprooted - \nBut I have suffered too!\nCome to me; I would say good-by\nBefore I die.\n7\nThe wind rises; the trees are agitated.\nWoods, that beat the wind with frantic\nGestures and drop darkly 'round\nAcorns gnarled and leaves that antic\nWildly on the rustling ground!\nIs it tragic grief that saddens\nThrough your souls this autumn day?\nOr the joy of death that gladdens\nIn exultance of decay?\nArrogant you lift defiant\nBoughs against the moaning blast,\nThat, like some invisible giant,\nWrapped in tumult, thunders past.\nIs it that in such insurgent\nFury tossed from tree to tree,\nYou would quench the fiercely urgent\nPangs of some old memory?\nAs in toil and violent action,\nThat still help them to forget,\nMortals drown the dark distraction\nAnd insistence of regret.\n8\nShe muses in the gathering twilight.\nLast night I slept till midnight; then woke, and far away\nA cock crowed; lonely and distant came mournful a watch-dog's bay:\nBut lonelier, sadder the tedious, old clock ticked on towards day.\nAnd what a day! - remember those morns of summer and spring,\nThat bound our lives together! each morn a wedding-ring\nOf dew, aroma and sparkle, and flowers and birds a-wing.\nSweet morns when I strolled my garden awaiting him, the rose\nExpected too, with blushes - the Giant-of-Battle that grows\nA bank of radiance and fragrance where the gate its shadow throws.\nNot in vain did I wait, departed summer, amid your phlox!\nThe powdery crystal and crimson of your hollow hollyhocks;\nYour fairy-bells and poppies and the bee that in them rocks.\nCool-clad 'neath the pendulous purple of the morning-glory vine,\nBy the jewel-mine of the pansies and the snapdragons in line,\nI waited, and there he met me whose heart was one with mine.\nHow warm was the breath of the garden when he met me there that day!\nHow the burnished beetle and butterfly flew past us, each a ray! - \nThe memory of those meetings still bears me far away.\nAh, me! when I think of the handfuls of little gold coins a-mass\nMy bachelor's-buttons scattered over the garden grass,\nAnd the marigolds that boasted their bits of burning brass;\nMore bitter I feel the autumn tighten 'round spirit and heart;\nAnd regret the days remembered as lost - that stand apart,\nA chapter holy and sacred, I read with eyes that smart.\nAgain to the woods a-trysting by the watermill I steal,\nWhere the lilies tumble together, the madcap wind at heel;\nAnd meet him among the blossoms that the rocks and the trees conceal.\nOr the wild-cat grey of the meadows that the ox-eyed daisies dot;\nFawn-eyed and tiger-yellow, that tangle a tawny spot\nOf languid leopard beauty that dozes fierce and hot....\nAh! back again with the present! with winds that pinch and twist\nThe leaves in their peevish passion, and whirl wherever they list;\nWith the autumn, hoary and nipping, whose mausolean mist\nBuilds wan a tomb for the daylight; - each morning shaggy with fog,\nThat fits grey wigs to the cedars, and furs with frost each log;\nThat carpets with pearl the meadow, and marbles brook and bog, - \nAlone at dawn - indifferent: alone at eve - I sigh:\nAnd wait, like the wind complaining: complain and know not why:\nBut ailing and longing and pining because I do not die.\nHow dull is that sunset! dreary and cold, and hard and dead!\nThe ghost of the one last August that, deeply rich and red,\nLike the wine of God's own vintage, poured purple overhead.\nBut now I sit with the sighing dead dreams of a dying year;\nLike the fallen leaves and the acorns, am worthless and feel as sear,\nWith a withered soul and body whose heart is one big tear.\nAs I stare from my window the daylight, like a bravo, its cloak puts on.\nThe moon, like a cautious lanthorn, glitters and then is gone. - \nWill he come to-night? will he answer? - Oh, God! would it were dawn!\n9\nHe enters. Taking her in his arms he speaks.\nThey said you were dying - \nYou shall not die!...\nWhy are you crying?\nWhy do you sigh? - \nCease that sad sighing! - \nLove, it is I.\nAll is forgiven! - \nLove is not poor;\nThough he was driven\nOnce from your door,\nBack he has striven,\nTo part nevermore!\nWill you remember\nWhat I forget? - \nWords, each an ember,\nThat you regret?\nNow in November,\nNow we have met?\nWhat if love wept once!\nWhat though you knew!\nWhat if he crept once\nPleading to you! - \nHe never slept once,\nNor was untrue.\nOften forgetful,\nLove may forget;\nFroward and fretful,\nDear, he will fret;\nEver regretful,\nHe will regret.\nLife is completer\nThrough his control;\nLiving made sweeter\nEven through dole,\nHearing Love's metre\nSing in the soul.\nFlesh may not hear it,\nBeing impure;\nAnd mind may fear it,\nMay not endure;\nBut in the spirit - \nThere we are sure.\nSo when to-morrow\nCeases, and we\nQuit this we borrow,\nMortality,\nLove chastens sorrow\nSo it can see....\nStill you are weeping!\nWhy do you weep? - \nAre tears in keeping\nWith joy so deep?\nGladness so sweeping? - \nAre you asleep?\nSpeak to me, dearest!\nSay it is true! - \nThat I am nearest,\nDearest to you. - \nSmile with those clearest\nEyes of grey blue.\n10\nShe smiles through her tears; holding his hands she speaks.\nThey did not say I could not live beyond this weary night,\nBut now I know that I shall die before the morning's light.\nHow weak I am! - but you'll forgive me when I tell you how\nI loved you - love you; and the pain it is to leave you now?\nWe could not marry! - See, the flesh, that clothes the soul of me,\nOrdained at birth a sacrifice to this heredity,\nDenied, forbade. - Ah, you have seen the bright spots in my cheeks\nFlush hectic, as before the night the west burns blood-red streaks?\nConsumption. - \"But I promised you my hand\"? - a thing forlorn\nOf life; diseased! - Oh, God! - and so, far better so, forsworn! - \nOh, I was jealous of your love. But think: if I had died\nEre babe of mine had come to be a solace at your side!\nHad it been little then - your grief, when Heaven had made us one\nIn everything that's good on earth and then the good undone?\nNo! no! and had I had a child, what grief and agony\nTo know that blight born in him, too, against all help of me!\nJust when we cherish him the most, and youthful, sunny pride\nSits on his curly front, to see him die ere we have died. - \nWhose fault? - Ah, God! - not mine! but his, that ancestor who gave\nEscutcheon to our humble house - a Death's-head and a Grave.\nBeneath the pomp of those grim arms I live and may not move;\nNor faith, nor truth, nor wealth avail to hurl them down, nor love!\nHow could I tell you this? - not then! when all the world was spun\nOf morning colors for our love to walk and dance upon.\nI could not tell you how disease hid here a hideous germ,\nPrecedence slowly claiming and so slowly fixing firm.\nAnd when I broke our plighted troth and would not tell you why,\nI loved you, thinking, \"time enough when I have come to die.\"\nDraw off my rings, and let my hands rest so ... the wretched cough\nWill interrupt my feeble speech and will not be put off....\nAh, anyhow my anodyne is this - to know that you\nAre near me, love me! - Kiss me now, as you were wont to do.\nAnd tell me you forgive me all; and say you will forget\nThe sorrow of that breaking-off, the fever and the fret. - \nNow set those roses near my face and tell me death's a lie - \nOnce it was hard for me to live ... now it is hard to die.\n"}]}

Shame to have sinned against the light\nConfounds not but impels his tongue to unsay\nWhat yestereve he swore. Should fear make way\nFor treason? honour change her livery? fright\nClasp hands with interest? wrong pledge faith with right?\nReligion, mercy, conscience, answer, Yea.\nTo veer is not to veer: when votes are weighed,\nThe numerous tongue approves him renegade\nWho cannot change his banner: he that can\nSits crowned with wreaths of praise too pure to fade.\nTruth smiles applause on treason's poisonous plan:\nAnd Cleon is an honourable man.\nII\nPure faith, fond hope, sweet love, with God for guide,\nMove now the men whose blameless error cast\nIn prison (ah, but love condones the past!)\nTheir subject knaves that were, their lords that ride\nNow laughing on their necks, and now bestride\nTheir vassal backs in triumph. Faith stands fast\nThough fear haul down the flag that crowned her mast\nAnd hope and love proclaim that truth has lied.\nTurn, turn, and turn, so bids the still small voice,\nThe changeless voice of honour. He that stands\nWhere all his life he stood, with bribeless hands,\nWith tongue unhired to mourn, reprove, rejoice,\nCurse, bless, forswear, and swear again, and lie,\nStands proven apostate in the apostate's eye.\nIII\nFraud shrinks from faith: at sight of swans, the raven\nChides blackness, and the snake recoils aghast\nIn fear of poison when a bird flies past.\nThersites brands Achilles as a craven;\nThe shoal fed full with shipwreck blames the haven\nFor murderous lust of lives devoured, and vast\nDesire of doom whose feast is mercy's fast:\nAnd Bacon sees the traitor's mark engraven\nFull on the front of Essex. Grief and shame\nObscure the chaste and sunlike spirit of Oates\nAt thought of Russell's treason; and the name\nOf Milton sickens with superb disgust\nThe heaving heart of Waller. Wisdom dotes,\nIf wisdom turns not tail and licks not dust.\nIV\nThe sole sweet land found fit to wed the sea,\nWith reptile rebels at her heel of old,\nSet hard her heel upon them, and controlled\nThe cowering poisonous peril. How should she\nCower, and resign her trust of empire? Free\nAs winds and waters live the loyal-souled\nAnd true-born sons that love her: nay, the bold\nBase knaves who curse her name have leave to be\nThe loud-tongued liars they are. For she, beyond\nAll woful years that bid men's hearts despond,\nSees yet the likeness of her ancient fame\nBurn from the heavenward heights of history, hears\nNot Leicester's name but Sidney's, faith's, not fear's,\nNot Gladstone's now but only Gordon's name."}]}

Now, hear this: Draw up the papers, lawyer, and make 'em good and stout;\nFor things at home are crossways, and Betsey and I are out.\nWe, who have worked together so long as man and wife,\nMust pull in single harness for the rest of our nat'ral life.\n\"What is the matter?\" say you. I swan it's hard to tell!\nMost of the years behind us we've passed by very well;\nI have no other woman, she has no other man--\nOnly we've lived together as long as we ever can.\nSo I have talked with Betsey, and Betsey has talked with me,\nAnd so we've agreed together that we can't never agree;\nNot that we've catched each other in any terrible crime;\nWe've been a-gathering this for years, a little at a time.\nThere was a stock of temper we both had for a start,\nAlthough we never suspected 'twould take us two apart;\nI had my various failings, bred in the flesh and bone;\nAnd Betsey, like all good women, had a temper of her own.\nThe first thing I remember whereon we disagreed\nWas something concerning heaven--a difference in our creed;\nWe arg'ed the thing at breakfast, we arg'ed the thing at tea,\nAnd the more we arg'ed the question the more we didn't agree.\nAnd the next that I remember was when we lost a cow;\nShe had kicked the bucket for certain, the question was only--How?\nI held my own opinion, and Betsey another had;\nAnd when we were done a-talkin', we both of us was mad.\nAnd the next that I remember, it started in a joke;\nBut full for a week it lasted, and neither of us spoke.\nAnd the next was when I scolded because she broke a bowl;\nAnd she said I was mean and stingy, and hadn't any soul.\nAnd so that bowl kept pourin' dissensions in our cup;\nAnd so that blamed cow-critter was always a-comin' up;\nAnd so that heaven we arg'ed no nearer to us got,\nBut it gave us a taste of somethin' a thousand times as hot.\nAnd so the thing kept workin', and all the self-same way;\nAlways somethin' to arg'e, and somethin' sharp to say;\nAnd down on us came the neighbors, a couple dozen strong,\nAnd lent their kindest sarvice for to help the thing along.\nAnd there has been days together--and many a weary week--\nWe was both of us cross and spunky, and both too proud to speak;\nAnd I have been thinkin' and thinkin', the whole of the winter and fall,\nIf I can't live kind with a woman, why, then, I won't at all.\nAnd so I have talked with Betsey, and Betsey has talked with me,\nAnd we have agreed together that we can't never agree;\nAnd what is hers shall be hers, and what is mine shall be mine;\nAnd I'll put it in the agreement, and take it to her to sign.\nWrite on the paper, lawyer--the very first paragraph--\nOf all the farm and live-stock that she shall have her half;\nFor she has helped to earn it, through many a weary day,\nAnd it's nothing more than justice that Betsey has her pay.\nGive her the house and homestead--a man can thrive and roam;\nBut women are skeery critters, unless they have a home;\nAnd I have always determined, and never failed to say,\nThat Betsey never should want a home if I was taken away.\nThere is a little hard money that's drawin' tol'rable pay:\nA couple of hundred dollars laid by for a rainy day;\nSafe in the hands of good men, and easy to get at;\nPut in another clause there, and give her half of that.\nYes, I see you smile, Sir, at my givin' her so much;\nYes, divorce is cheap, Sir, but I take no stock in such!\nTrue and fair I married her, when she was blithe and young;\nAnd Betsey was al'ays good to me, exceptin' with her tongue.\nOnce, when I was young as you, and not so smart, perhaps,\nFor me she mittened a lawyer, and several other chaps;\nAnd all of them was flustered, and fairly taken down,\nAnd I for a time was counted the luckiest man in town.\nOnce when I had a fever--I won't forget it soon--\nI was hot as a basted turkey and crazy as a loon;\nNever an hour went by me when she was out of sight--\nShe nursed me true and tender, and stuck to me day and night.\nAnd if ever a house was tidy, and ever a kitchen clean,\nHer house and kitchen was tidy as any I ever seen;\nAnd I don't complain of Betsey, or any of her acts,\nExceptin' when we've quarreled, and told each other facts.\nSo draw up the paper, lawyer, and I'll go home to-night,\nAnd read the agreement to her, and see if it's all right;\nAnd then, in the mornin', I'll sell to a tradin' man I know,\nAnd kiss the child that was left to us, and out in the world I'll go.\nAnd one thing put in the paper, that first to me didn't occur:\nThat when I am dead at last she'll bring me back to her;\nAnd lay me under the maples I planted years ago,\nWhen she and I was happy before we quarreled so.\nAnd when she dies I wish that she would be laid by me,\nAnd, lyin' together in silence, perhaps we will agree;\nAnd, if ever we meet in heaven, I wouldn't think it queer\nIf we loved each other the better because we quarreled here."}]}

Now, hear this: \"No doubt the pleasure is as great,\nOf being cheated as to cheat.\" - HUDIBRAS.\nThe history of human-kind to trace,\nSince Eve - the first of dupes - our doom unriddled,\nA certain portion of the human race\nHas certainly a taste for being diddled.\nWitness the famous Mississippi dreams!\nA rage that time seems only to redouble - \nThe Banks, Joint-Stocks, and all the flimsy schemes,\nFor rolling in Pactolian streams,\nThat cost our modern rogues so little trouble.\nNo matter what, - to pasture cows on stubble,\nTo twist sea-sand into a solid rope,\nTo make French bricks and fancy bread of rubble,\nOr light with gas the whole celestial cope - \nOnly propose to blow a bubble,\nAnd Lord! what hundreds will subscribe for soap!\nSoap! - it reminds me of a little tale,\nTho' not a pig's, the hawbuck's glory,\nWhen rustic games and merriment prevail - \nBut here's my story:\nOnce on a time - no matter when - \nA knot of very charitable men\nSet up a Philanthropical Society,\nProfessing on a certain plan,\nTo benefit the race of man,\nAnd in particular that dark variety,\nWhich some suppose inferior - as in vermin\nThe sable is to ermine,\nAs smut to flour, as coal to alabaster,\nAs crows to swans, as soot to driven snow,\nAs blacking, or as ink, to \"milk below,\"\nOr yet a better simile to show,\nAs ragman's dolls to images in plaster!\nHowever, as is usual in our city,\nThey had a sort of managing Committee,\nA board of grave responsible Directors - \nA Secretary, good at pen and ink - \nA Treasurer, of course, to keep the chink,\nAnd quite an army of Collectors!\nNot merely male, but female duns,\nYoung, old, and middle-aged - of all degrees - \nWith many of those persevering ones,\nWho mite by mite would beg a cheese!\nAnd what might be their aim?\nTo rescue Afric's sable sons from fetters - \nTo save their bodies from the burning shame\nOf branding with hot letters - \nTheir shoulders from the cowhide's bloody strokes,\nTheir necks from iron yokes?\nTo end or mitigate the ills of slavery,\nThe Planter's avarice, the Driver's knavery?\nTo school the heathen Negroes and enlighten 'em,\nTo polish up and brighten 'em,\nAnd make them worthy of eternal bliss?\nWhy, no - the simple end and aim was this - \nReading a well-known proverb much amiss - \nTo wash and whiten 'em!\nThey look'd so ugly in their sable hides:\nSo dark, so dingy, like a grubby lot\nOf sooty sweeps, or colliers, and besides,\nHowever the poor elves\nMight wash themselves,\nNobody knew if they were clean or not - \nOn Nature's fairness they were quite a blot!\nNot to forget more serious complaints\nThat even while they join'd in pious hymn,\nSo black they were and grim,\nIn face and limb,\nThey look'd like Devils, tho' they sang like Saints!\nThe thing was undeniable!\nThey wanted washing! not that slight ablution\nTo which the skin of the White Man is liable,\nMerely removing transient pollution - \nBut good, hard, honest, energetic rubbing\nAnd scrubbing,\nSousing each sooty frame from heels to head\nWith stiff, strong, saponaceous lather,\nAnd pails of water - hottish rather,\nBut not so boiling as to turn 'em red!\nSo spoke the philanthropic man\nWho laid, and hatch'd, and nursed the plan - \nAnd oh! to view its glorious consummation!\nThe brooms and mops,\nThe tubs and slops,\nThe baths and brushes in full operation!\nTo see each Crow, or Jim or John,\nGo in a raven and come out a swan!\nWhile fair as Cavendishes, Vanes, and Russels,\nBlack Venus rises from the soapy surge,\nAnd all the little Niggerlings emerge\nAs lily-white as mussels.\nSweet was the vision - but alas!\nHowever in prospectus bright and sunny,\nTo bring such visionary scenes to pass\nOne thing was requisite, and that was - money!\nMoney, that pays the laundress and her bills,\nFor socks and collars, shirts and frills,\nCravats and kerchiefs - money, without which\nThe negroes must remain as dark as pitch;\nA thing to make all Christians sad and shivery,\nTo think of millions of immortal souls\nDwelling in bodies black as coals,\nAnd living - so to speak - in Satan's livery!\nMoney - the root of evil, - dross, and stuff!\nBut oh! how happy ought the rich to feel,\nWhose means enable them to give enough\nTo blanch an African from head to heel!\nHow blessed - yea, thrice blessed - to subscribe\nEnough to scour a tribe!\nWhile he whose fortune was at best a brittle one,\nAlthough he gave but pence, how sweet to know\nHe helped to bleach a Hottentot's great toe,\nOr little one!\nMoved by this logic, or appall'd,\nTo persons of a certain turn so proper,\nThe money came when call'd,\nIn silver, gold, and copper,\nPresents from \"Friends to blacks,\" or foes to whites,\n\"Trifles,\" and \"offerings,\" and \"widows' mites,\"\nPlump legacies, and yearly benefactions,\nWith other gifts\nAnd charitable lifts,\nPrinted in lists and quarterly transactions.\nAs thus - Elisha Brettel,\nAn iron kettle.\nThe Dowager Lady Scannel,\nA piece of flannel.\nRebecca Pope,\nA bar of soap.\nThe Misses Howels,\nHalf-a-dozen towels.\nThe Master Rush's,\nTwo scrubbing-brushes.\nMr. T.

More subscriptions! No - no - no, - not I!\"\n\"You have had time - time - time enough to try!\nThey WON'T come white! then why - why - why - why,\nMore money?\"\n\"Why!\" said the Chairman, with an accent bland,\nAnd gentle waving of his dexter hand,\n\"Why must we have more dross, and dirt, and dust,\nMore filthy lucre, in a word, more gold - \nThe why, sir, very easily is told,\nBecause Humanity declares we must!\nWe've scrubb'd the negroes till we've nearly killed 'em,\nAnd finding that we cannot wash them white,\nBut still their nigritude offends the sight,\nWe mean to gild 'em!\""}]}

It cannot be, but that thine eyes\nMust be my sun, such radiance they display\nAnd strike me ev'n as Phoebus him, whose way\nThrough torrid Libya's sandy desert lies.\nMeantime, on that side steamy vapours rise\nWhere most I suffer. Of what kind are they,\nNew as to me they are, I cannot say,\nBut deem them, in the Lover's language--sighs.\nSome, though with pain, my bosom close conceals,\nWhich, if in part escaping thence, they tend\nTo soften thine, they coldness soon congeals.\nWhile others to my tearful eyes ascend,\nWhence my sad nights in show'rs are ever drown'd,\n'Till my Aurora comes, her brow with roses bound.\nVI.[1]\nEnamour'd, artless, young, on foreign ground,\nUncertain whither from myself to fly,\nTo thee, dear Lady, with an humble sigh\nLet me devote my heart, which I have found\nBy certain proofs not few, intrepid, sound,\nGood, and addicted to conceptions high:\nWhen tempests shake the world, and fire the sky,\nIt rests in adamant self-wrapt around,\nAs safe from envy, and from outrage rude,\nFrom hopes and fears, that vulgar minds abuse,\nAs fond of genius, and fix'd fortitude,\nOf the resounding lyre, and every Muse.\nWeak you will find it in one only part,\nNow pierc'd by Love's immedicable dart."}]}

No matter!\nLet us trust!\n"}]}
