his art was essentially dramatic and he has some fine dramatic
moments as for example when the usurer soliloquizing miserably on his
certain ultimate damnation suddenly cries out | img2poems |
tyrwhitt's third edition from which the present edition is
printed
with this was printed for the first time 'an appendix | img2poems |
finally for further works on chatterton the reader is referred to
bohn's edition of lowndes' bibliographer's manual but the most
important have been enumerated above | img2poems |
chatterton's assertion that they were rowley's his sister having
represented him as a 'lover of truth from the earliest dawn of
reason | img2poems |
catcott's assertion that chatterton on their first acquaintance had
mentioned by name almost all the poems which have since appeared in
print | img2poems |
if rowley's language differs from that of other fifteenth
century writers the difference lies in provincialisms natural to an
inhabitant of bristol | img2poems |
plagiarisms from modern authors may in some cases have been
introduced by chatterton but in others they are the commonplaces of
poetry | img2poems |

a fonne in chaucer signifies a fool and fonnes fools and
spenser uses fon in the same sense nor do i believe that it ever
had any other meaning | img2poems |
knopped is used by chaucer to signifie fastened with a button
from knoppe a button but what poet that knew the meaning of his
words would say that any thing was buttoned with frost | img2poems |
if there be any such word as this we should naturally expect it to
follow the signification of lithe soft limber: which will not suit
with this passage | img2poems |

it has been proved that this impostor lived since skinner and that
the same person wrote the interpretations of words by way of glossary
which are subjoined to most of the poems | img2poems |
so spake th' apostate angel though in pain
vaunting aloud but rackt with deep despare
and him thus answer'd soon his bold compeer | img2poems |
peor his other name when he entic'd
israel in sittim on their march from nile
to do him wanton rites which cost them woe | img2poems |
him follow'd rimmon whose delightful seat
was fair damascus on the fertil banks
of abbana and pharphar lucid streams | img2poems |
witness the streets of sodom and that night
in gibeah when hospitable dores
yielded thir matrons to prevent worse rape | img2poems |
thrice he assayd and thrice in spite of scorn
tears such as angels weep burst forth: at last
words interwove with sighs found out their way | img2poems |
my sentence is for open warr: of wiles
more unexpert i boast not: them let those
contrive who need or when they need not now | img2poems |
thus belial with words cloath'd in reasons garb
counsel'd ignoble ease and peaceful sloath
not peace: and after him thus mammon spake | img2poems |
if thence he scape into what ever world
or unknown region what remains him less
then unknown dangers and as hard escape | img2poems |
others with vast typhoean rage more fell
rend up both rocks and hills and ride the air
in whirlwind hell scarce holds the wilde uproar | img2poems |
satan was now at hand and from his seat
the monster moving onward came as fast
with horrid strides hell trembled as he strode | img2poems |
him god beholding from his prospect high
wherein past present future he beholds
thus to his onely son foreseeing spake | img2poems |
such i created all th' ethereal powers
and spirits both them who stood them who faild
freely they stood who stood and fell who fell | img2poems |
to prayer repentance and obedience due
though but endevord with sincere intent
mine eare shall not be slow mine eye not shut | img2poems |
as in him perish all men so in thee
as from a second root shall be restor'd
as many as are restor'd without thee none | img2poems |
the stairs were then let down whether to dare
the fiend by easie ascent or aggravate
his sad exclusion from the dores of bliss | img2poems |
such wonder seis'd though after heaven seen
the spirit maligne but much more envy seis'd
at sight of all this world beheld so faire | img2poems |
there lands the fiend a spot like which perhaps
astronomer in the sun's lucent orbe
through his glaz'd optic tube yet never saw | img2poems |
me miserable
which way shall i flie
infinite wrauth and infinite despaire | img2poems |
so saying his proud step he scornful turn'd
but with sly circumspection and began
through wood through waste o're hil o're dale his roam | img2poems |
but if within the circuit of these walks
in whatsoever shape he lurk of whom
thou telst by morrow dawning i shall know | img2poems |
haile wedded love mysterious law true source
of human ofspring sole proprietie
in paradise of all things common else | img2poems |
back stept those two fair angels half amaz'd
so sudden to behold the grieslie king
yet thus unmovd with fear accost him soon | img2poems |
but come for thou be sure shalt give account
to him who sent us whose charge is to keep
this place inviolable and these from harm | img2poems |
he scarce had ended when those two approachd
and brief related whom they brought wher found
how busied in what form and posture coucht | img2poems |
thus hee in scorn
the warlike angel mov'd
disdainfully half smiling thus repli'd | img2poems |
som such resemblances methinks i find
of our last eevnings talk in this thy dream
but with addition strange yet be not sad | img2poems |
these are thy glorious works parent of good
almightie thine this universal frame
thus wondrous fair thy self how wondrous then | img2poems |
his praise ye winds that from four quarters blow
breath soft or loud and wave your tops ye pines
with every plant in sign of worship wave | img2poems |
neerer his presence adam though not awd
yet with submiss approach and reverence meek
as to a superior nature bowing low | img2poems |
hear all ye angels progenie of light
thrones dominations princedoms vertues powers
hear my decree which unrevok't shall stand | img2poems |
they eat they drink and with refection sweet
are fill'd before th' all bounteous king who showrd
with copious hand rejoycing in thir joy | img2poems |
words which no eare ever to hear in heav'n
expected least of all from thee ingrate
in place thy self so high above thy peeres | img2poems |
so all ere day spring under conscious night
secret they finish'd and in order set
with silent circumspection unespi'd | img2poems |
so scoffing in ambiguous words he scarce
had ended when to right and left the front
divided and to either flank retir'd | img2poems |
this saw his hapless foes but stood obdur'd
and to rebellious fight rallied thir powers
insensate hope conceiving from despair | img2poems |
so spake the son and into terrour chang'd
his count'nance too severe to be beheld
and full of wrauth bent on his enemies | img2poems |
as thus he spake each bird and beast behold
approaching two and two these cowring low
with blandishment each bird stoop'd on his wing | img2poems |
thus i embold'nd spake and freedom us'd
permissive and acceptance found which gain'd
this answer from the gratious voice divine | img2poems |
but i can now no more the parting sun
beyond the earths green cape and verdant isles
hesperean sets my signal to depart | img2poems |
i in thy persevering shall rejoyce
and all the blest: stand fast to stand or fall
free in thine own arbitrement it lies | img2poems |
o earth how like to heav'n if not preferrd
more justly seat worthier of gods as built
with second thoughts reforming what was old | img2poems |
the wife where danger or dishonour lurks
safest and seemliest by her husband staies
who guards her or with her the worst endures | img2poems |
to whom the virgin majestie of eve
as one who loves and some unkindness meets
with sweet austeer composure thus reply'd | img2poems |
but that thou shouldst my firmness therefore doubt
to god or thee because we have a foe
may tempt it i expected not to hear | img2poems |
his violence thou fearst not being such
as wee not capable of death or paine
can either not receave or can repell | img2poems |
nor thou his malice and false guile contemn
suttle he needs must be who could seduce
angels nor think superfluous others aid | img2poems |
why shouldst not thou like sense within thee feel
when i am present and thy trial choose
with me best witness of thy vertue tri'd | img2poems |
let us not then suspect our happie state
left so imperfet by the maker wise
as not secure to single or combin'd | img2poems |
seek not temptation then which to avoide
were better and most likelie if from mee
thou sever not trial will come unsought | img2poems |
wouldst thou approve thy constancie approve
first thy obedience th' other who can know
not seeing thee attempted who attest | img2poems |
o much deceav'd much failing hapless eve
of thy presum'd return
event perverse | img2poems |
what may this mean
language of man pronounc't
by tongue of brute and human sense exprest | img2poems |
serpent thy overpraising leaves in doubt
the vertue of that fruit in thee first prov'd
but say where grows the tree from hence how far | img2poems |
god therefore cannot hurt ye and be just
not just not god not feard then nor obeid
your feare it self of death removes the feare | img2poems |
