+
+
+The present study is an extension of a thesis, presented to the
+Faculty of the Department of Philosophy of the University of
+Pennsylvania in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree
+of Doctor of Philosophy. The object has been to treat the material in
+the early American magazines which gave readers information about
+Germany and other Teutonic countries. While the primary aim has been
+to discuss the translations of poetry and the original poems bearing
+on the subject, all relevant prose articles have also been listed.
+Since many of the magazines used are extremely rare and almost unique,
+the texts from them are here reprinted in order to make such
+information accessible. As some of the translations and poems,
+however, have been traced to Thomas Campbell, Sir Walter Scott,
+William Wordsworth, Thomas Gray and others, whose works are to be
+found in almost any library, reprinting was unnecessary in these
+cases. M. G. Lewis' _Tales of Terror and Wonder_ has had, besides many
+early imprints, a recent edition by Henry Morley in 1887 and the poems
+from it that appeared in the American magazines are here mentioned by
+title only, the one exception being _The Erl-King_, which is included
+because of several variants. Long poems like _The Wanderer of
+Switzerland_ (which itself would make a small book) are not reprinted.
+
+Parts II to V are arranged chronologically, so as to show the gradual
+growth of the German influence. Translations and poems are therefore
+reprinted under the date of their first appearance; later publications
+of them in the magazines are here recorded simply by title, with a
+note giving the earliest date. The texts are reprinted exactly as they
+appeared in the early American periodicals, thus presenting the
+information about Germany in the same form in which readers of a
+century ago received it. Mistakes are often interesting as
+illustrative of an ignorance about German names and words. Only the
+most evident typographical errors have been corrected, such as
+"spweep" for "sweep," "bilssful" for "blissful," and "fustain" for
+"sustain." Differences due to eighteenth century orthography are
+retained.
+
+The subject has been investigated to the end of the year 1840, but
+this volume treats only the period ending with 1810. Often for the
+sake of complete lists, however, poems of a later date are mentioned.
+Throughout Parts II to V, notes by the present author, except mention
+of sources from which the reprints are made, are inclosed in brackets.
+
+The courtesy and assistance rendered in obtaining the magazines make
+me indebted to the attendants in the various libraries visited,
+particularly to Mr. Allan B. Slauson, of the Library of Congress. I
+wish to thank Professor Daniel B. Shumway, of the University of
+Pennsylvania, for helpful criticism, and Professor John L. Haney, of
+the Philadelphia Central High School, for valuable information about
+the German literary influence in England during the period under
+discussion and for improvements suggested in the preparation of the
+Introduction.
+
+I am especially indebted to Professor Marion D. Learned, of the
+University of Pennsylvania, at whose suggestion and under whose
+inspiration the present investigation has been carried on.

+                             INTRODUCTION.
+
+
+The important influence which German literature has exercised on
+American culture and literature extends from the early part of the
+nineteenth century. This influence was, in a measure, a continuation
+of the interest and activity that had existed in England during the
+last quarter of the eighteenth century. Prior to 1790, numerous
+translations from Gellert, Wieland, Klopstock, Lessing, Goethe and
+Schiller appeared from time to time, but it was not until William
+Taylor of Norwich began to write, that the movement, which culminated
+in the works of Coleridge, Carlyle and others, assumed definite
+form.[1]
+
+    [Footnote 1: John L. Haney, _German Literature in England
+    before 1790_, in the _Americana Germanica_, IV, No. 2.
+
+    Cf. also, Dr. Haney's monograph, _The German Influence on
+    Samuel Taylor Coleridge_, Philadelphia, 1902.

+    Georg Herzfeld, _William Taylor von Norwich_, Halle a. S.
+    1897.]
+
+American literature at this time was still subservient to that of
+England and it is not surprising that the new literary impulse from
+Germany should have found reflection on this side of the Atlantic.
+This foreign influence was further aided by direct contact with
+Europe. By the second or third decade of the last century the studies
+of American scholars abroad became an important factor in our
+intellectual development. In 1819 Edward Everett returned from Europe
+to become professor of Greek at Harvard University. He had studied at
+the University of Göttingen, where he had become enthusiastic for the
+methods of German scholarship. While in Europe he secured for Harvard
+College a large number of German books, which soon proved to be a
+stimulus to the students of the institution. In 1823 W. E. Channing in
+his _Remarks on National Literature_ advocated the study of French and
+German authors, so that our literature might attain a position of
+independence from that of England.[2] Two years later, in 1825, Karl
+Follen entered upon his duties at Harvard College as instructor in
+German.[3]
+
+    [Footnote 2: _The Works of William E. Channing_, Boston,
+    1849. Geo. D. Channing. Vol. I-277.
+
+    Cf. also, the remark of Francis Hopkinson, p. 194.]
+
+    [Footnote 3: As early as 1754 William Creamer (or Cramer) was
+    appointed Professor of the French and German Languages, at
+    the University of Pennsylvania, which position he held for
+    twenty-one years. In 1780 a German Professorship of Philology
+    was established in the same institution. J. C. Kunze, the
+    first appointee, lectured in German on Latin and Greek. After
+    1784, his successor, J. H. C. Helmuth, carried out the same
+    policy.
+
+    Cf. M. D. Learned, _Address at the Opening of the Bechstein
+    Library_, University of Pennsylvania, March 21, 1896.]
+
+Before Edward Everett went abroad to study, however, American
+scholars had begun to seek wider cultural advantages at the centres of
+learning in Europe.[4] They were mostly theological students, or men
+more or less closely connected with the diplomatic service. The most
+prominent among the latter class was John Quincy Adams, who spent
+several years in Europe. His interest in German literature is shown by
+the fact that he translated Wieland's _Oberon_, which however was not
+published, because Sotheby's translation had just appeared in
+London.[5]
+
+    [Footnote 4: Benjamin Franklin's visit to the University of
+    Göttingen is described in the _Göttingische Anzeigen_ for
+    Sept. 13, 1766, which states that the session of the Royal
+    Society of Sciences held on the 19th of the preceding July
+    was more impressive than usual. "The two famous English
+    scholars, the royal physician, Mr. Pringle, and Mr. Benjamin
+    Franklin, from Pennsylvania, who happened to be at that time
+    in Göttingen on a trip through Germany, took their seats as
+    members of the society."
+
+    Cf. the account by Dr. E. J. James (_The Nation_, Apr. 18,
+    1895, p. 296), reprinted in B. A. Hinsdale's article _Foreign
+    Influence upon Education in the United States_, published in
+    the _Report of the Commissioner of Education_, 1897-98. Vol.
+    I, pp. 604-607.
+
+    Cf. also, L. Viereck, _German Instruction in American
+    Schools_, ibid., 1900-1901. Vol. I, p. 543.]
+
+    [Footnote 5: Adams wrote also an account of his journey to
+    Silesia in July, 1800. This was in the form of twenty-nine
+    letters to his brother, written during the trip, and thirteen
+    more added after his return to Berlin. Although they were
+    private communications, the editor of the _Port Folio_
+    secured them for his magazine and printed them anonymously,
+    without suppressing personal references, as the author would
+    have done, had he known of the publication.
+
+    "Whether these passages ever came under the observation of
+    the persons affected is not certain. So long as they remained
+    confined to the columns of an American publication of that
+    day, the probabilities would favor the negative. But they
+    were not so confined. Again, without the knowledge or consent
+    of the author, an individual, unknown to him, but fully aware
+    of the facts in the case nevertheless took the collection
+    from the _Portfolio_ to London, and there had them printed
+    for his own benefit, in an octavo volume, in the year 1804.
+    From this copy they were rendered into German, and published
+    at Breslau the next year, with notes, by Frederick Albert
+    Zimmerman; and in 1807 a translation made into French, by J.
+    Dupuy, was published in Paris by Dentu.
+
+    "Thus it happened that these letters, originally intended as
+    purely familiar correspondence, obtained a free circulation
+    over a large part of Europe without the smallest agency on
+    the part of the author, or any opportunity to correct and
+    modify them as he certainly would have done had he ever
+    possessed the power."

+    Adams. 12 vols., Philadelphia, 1874. Vol. I, 240-241.
+
+    The American publication began in the _Port Folio_, I-1, Jan.
+    3, 1801, Phila. For a review of the English edition, cf. _The
+    Monthly Review or Literary Journal_, XLV-350, December, 1804,
+    London.]
+
+A little later, in 1809, Alexander Hill Everett went to Russia as
+secretary to the legation and spent several years in different cities
+on the continent.[6] George Ticknor visited Germany in 1815 to prepare
+for his duties as professor of modern languages at Harvard; and George
+Bancroft, after graduating from college in 1817, studied for five
+years at Göttingen, Heidelberg and Berlin. Henry E. Dwight was at
+Göttingen from 1824-1828 and in the next year published in New York
+_Travels in the North of Germany, 1825-6_. It was about this time that
+James Fenimore Cooper began his European travels, which lasted from
+1826 to 1833.[7] Thus, American scholars had been acquiring German
+thought and culture at first hand, before Longfellow or Emerson went
+abroad for the first time. With these two the German influence in
+America reached its height--Longfellow in literature, and Emerson in
+his transcendental philosophy.
+
+    [Footnote 6: "He [A. H. Everett] had probably studied German
+    while he was associated with John Quincy Adams in St.
+    Petersburg, where German influence was strong and the study
+    of the language and literature could be pursued under the
+    most favorable conditions. The _United States Magazine and
+    Democratic Review_, New York, Vol. X (N. S.) 1842--p. 461,
+    states that he studied at St. Petersburg, among other things,
+    the modern languages."
+
+    Frederick H. Wilkens, _Early Influence of German Literature
+    in America_ in the _Americana Germanica_, III, No. 2, p.
+    155.]
+
+    [Footnote 7: M. D. Learned, _German as a Culture Element in
+    American Education_, Milwaukee, 1898.]
+
+This was the second channel by which German literature became known in
+this country. The first, as has already been indicated, came
+indirectly through England. There, considerable activity in this line
+had been manifest since 1790. Books of translations were published and
+the magazines contained many fugitive pieces from the German. It is
+chiefly a reflex of this interest that we find in American periodicals
+to the end of 1810.
+
+In America, likewise, German literature was made known to English
+readers by means of translations either in book form or in the
+magazines. The subject of translations in book form has been treated
+in the recent article by Wilkens already mentioned. He discusses
+German drama, fiction, poetry, philosophy, theology and pedagogy, and
+gives in an appendix "A List of the Translations of German Literature
+that were printed in the United States before 1826." These books,
+however, were not the first means of introducing German authors to
+American readers. The first mention of this foreign literature we
+find, as a rule, in the magazines. Here are numerous accounts of the
+lives of German writers, criticism of their books, notices of editions
+(English or American) and besides these, many translations of poetry
+and the shorter prose works. These articles or translations do not, of
+course, antedate the earliest appearance of the same works in England,
+but it is safe to say that whatever information on German literature
+was offered in the American magazines reached the American public
+sooner than the copies of an English book sent over here to be sold.
+Many readers learned to know foreign literature through the medium of
+the periodicals who would not think of purchasing all the books, of
+which they had read reviews or selections. This was especially true of
+the poetry. The prose works were usually too long for republication in
+the magazines and could be announced only through critiques or
+abstracts. Even here, however, some of the longer pieces appeared,
+such as _The Apparitionist_ (Schiller's _Geisterseher_) in the _N. Y.
+Weekly Mag._, I-16, etc., 1795, N. Y., and in the same magazine II-4,
+etc., Tschink's _Victim of Magical Delusion_, while _The Mirror of
+Taste and Dramatic Censor_, I, 1810, contains _Emilia Galotti_,
+translated by Miss Fanny Holcroft. These prose pieces, being long,
+were continued from number to number, but for the poetry this was not
+necessary. Poems of the size of Klopstock's _Messiah_ or Gessner's
+_Death of Abel_ appeared in the magazines only in selections or
+extracts, while on the other hand most of the lyric poems, being
+short, could very easily be reprinted entire in translation. With
+hardly an exception, the short poems of German authors appeared in
+America in the periodicals some time before they were issued in book
+form; for example, the earliest publication of Gessner's _Idyls_
+mentioned by Wilkens was in 1802,[8] whereas single idyls had been
+translated for the magazines in 1774, 1775, 1792, 1795, 1798, 1799,
+two in 1793, three in 1796 and five in 1801. Similarly, the first
+American imprint of M. G. Lewis' _Tales of Wonder_ was issued in New
+York in 1801, while five selections in it had already appeared in the
+_Weekly Mag._, 1798-9, Phila.[9] In addition to these there were found
+in the American magazines before 1811, ten translations from Bürger,
+eight from Gellert, five from Lessing, four from Haller, three from
+Goethe, two each from Jacobi, Klopstock, Matthisson and Schickaneder,
+and one each from "Adelio," Bürde, Kotzebue, Patzke, "Sheller," and
+"Van Vander Horderclogeth," together with several translations, for
+which the name of the original author was not given. None of these
+were printed in book form before 1826.[10]
+
+    [Footnote 8: _New Idyls_, by S. Gessner. Philadelphia, 1802.]
+
+    [Footnote 9:
+
+    Bürger, _Leonora_ [Wm. Taylor--some variants], Vol. I-221.
+    Bürger, _The Chase_ [Sir Walter Scott], Vol. II-413.
+    ----, _The Water King_ [M. G. Lewis], Vol. III-92.
+    Goethe, _The Erl-King_ [M. G. Lewis], Vol. III-93.
+    ----, _The Erl-King's Daughter_ [M. G. Lewis], Vol. III-94.
+
+    The last three, however, were also in Lewis' _Ambrosio or the
+    Monk_, Philadelphia, 1798.]
+
+    [Footnote 10: Wilkens' _List_. Two selections from Bürger and
+    two from Goethe appeared in Lewis' collections, but no
+    editions of their poems exclusively were issued. Klopstock's
+    _Messiah_ was published three times before 1811, but not his
+    shorter poems.]
+
+The first translations of German poetry printed in America are to be
+sought, therefore, in the magazines and it was here also that the
+public received its first information about the lives of the German
+literati. It is the object of the present study to consider the German
+influence in the early American periodicals, treating especially the
+translations of German poetry published in them.[11] Together with
+these are to be found in Part III translations from the other Teutonic
+literatures more or less closely connected with the German, namely,
+translations of Dutch, Danish, Norwegian and Icelandic poetry, and
+also original poems on German literature, history, biography,
+etc.,--for example, _Ode on the late Victory obtained by the King of
+Prussia_, _Charlotte's Soliloquy--to the Manes of Werter_, and
+_Burlesque on the Style, in which most of the German romantic Ballads
+are written_. To this has been added a list of translations of German
+prose, and a list of original articles on Germany, etc., so that a
+complete estimate of the German influence in these magazines can thus
+be obtained.
+
+    [Footnote 11: Wilkens mentions about a dozen magazines
+    incidentally but no attempt has been made to investigate this
+    field.]
+
+The scope of the present work comprises the American magazines
+published before 1811. By the term "American magazines" is meant all
+magazines published in English, whether in the United States or
+Canada. Periodicals in German, Spanish, French or other foreign
+languages have been excluded. In as much as the study is primarily
+concerned with literature it has been necessary, on account of the
+great scope of the subject, to omit publications of a non-literary
+type, e. g., newspapers, gazettes, periodicals dealing solely with
+history, religious magazines, almanacs, etc. This method of exclusion
+is not an easy one, for during the period under discussion the
+magazine and the newspaper approached each other, the former printed
+news and the latter gave specimens of literature, usually short poems.
+It happened sometimes that a translation which appeared in a magazine
+had been printed first in a newspaper. For example, _The Name
+Unknown_, "Imitated from Klopstock's ode to his future mistress. By
+Thomas Campbell," is to be found in the _Newport Mercury_, 1803,
+Newport, just three years before it was printed in _The Evening
+Fireside_, II-165, Phila. This illustrates the importance of the
+newspaper in this connection, especially since the latter contained
+also numerous paragraphs on things German, but it is a field for
+separate investigation and in this connection must take second place
+as compared with the literary periodicals.
+
+Similarly the religious magazines often contain poems relative to our
+subject, so that it has been necessary to include some of these
+publications. Thus, the _Boston Observer and Religious Intelligencer_,
+I-152, 1835, Boston, contains the poem _Trust in God_, "Translated
+from the German," whereas others indicate on their title page their
+dual character, e. g., _The Literary and Theological Review_, 1834-39,
+N. Y., _The Monthly Miscellany of Religion and Letters_, 1839, etc.,
+Boston, and _The Monthly Mag. of Religion and Literature_, 1840,
+Gettysburg. Most of the religious magazines, however, belong to the
+period after 1810.
+
+Lastly, even some of the almanacs come almost within the range of the
+present discussion, for the earlier ones have poems[12] and
+interesting information, and were carefully read by the general
+public. Most of these had their vogue before the literary magazine
+became prominent and therefore represent a period before the German
+literary influence had made itself felt. Of those that were examined,
+none contained material to warrant their inclusion in the list given
+in Part V.
+
+    [Footnote 12: _Universal American Almanack, or Yearly Mag._,
+    1764, Phila., contains a poem entitled _Golden Verse of
+    Pythagoras_.]
+
+Whenever periodicals were found to be of the types just mentioned,
+they were omitted from further consideration. There are two other
+kinds of publications, however, that have been included in the present
+investigation. The first is the English magazine reprinted in this
+country. Since it is impossible to exclude all translations in
+American magazines made by Englishmen--as will be shown later on--it
+has been found practical to take, as the basis of selection, all
+periodicals actually published on this side of the Atlantic. The only
+examples of this class that fall within our period are _The Mirror_,
+I-II, 1803, Phila.--a reprint of a magazine of the same name, that
+appeared in Edinburgh, 1779-1780, _The Connoisseur_, I-IV, 1803,
+Phila. (London, 1755) and _The Quarterly Review_, I-IV, printed in
+London and reprinted in New York, 1810. In some instances the material
+in the American edition differs from that of the English, so that it
+is quite necessary to include this class of periodicals.
+
+The other type of publications, alluded to, is the miscellany. It
+contained poems, prose selections and articles on a wide range of
+subjects. It differed from the magazine simply in one respect, namely,
+that it was issued with less regularity. It offers, however, valuable
+additions to the present collection.[13] Thus, even by omitting all
+irrelevant publications, the field is a broad one and rich in
+important material.

+In any investigation of the early American magazines the difficulty of
+locating copies is apparent. The editions of many of these periodicals
+were small, especially if issued from the less important literary
+centers; so that now, after the lapse of a hundred years, their
+volumes are extremely hard to trace. Another fact that aided in the
+disappearance of these publications was their short existence. If a
+periodical, like the _American Museum_ or the _Port Folio_, ran for a
+number of years, it became well known and its volumes were carefully
+preserved. The libraries attempted to get complete sets and thus the
+magazine was made accessible for future generations. A large number of
+these magazines, however, had a precarious existence for a year or
+more, and then were discontinued for lack of support. Indeed, the many
+failures among these literary ventures cause one to wonder why others
+were undertaken, and yet year after year new magazines were launched
+on the market with full anticipation of success. This certainly
+indicates a widespread demand for this class of literature and if the
+kind offered did not happen to suit the taste, the fickle public was
+constantly deserting the old for the new.
+
+The investigator is moreover impeded in his progress by lack of
+definite and trustworthy information about these publications. There
+is no complete list of the American magazines during the years under
+discussion, although work has been done on the period to the end of
+1800. Paul Leicester Ford published a _Check-list of American
+magazines printed in the eighteenth century_ (1889, Brooklyn, N. Y.).
+This was an attempt to list all publications referred to by any
+writer, whether accessible or not. The present investigation, however,
+has brought to light thirty-five or forty volumes of magazines
+(including twenty new titles), evidently unknown to Ford, not to speak
+of several newspapers of more or less literary value; but the latter
+seem to have been omitted intentionally from the _Check-list_.
+
+Even the magazines of Philadelphia, the literary center of the country
+during the eighteenth century, have not been listed. "A complete list
+of the Philadelphia magazines is impossible. Many of them have
+disappeared and left not a rack behind. The special student of
+Pennsylvania history will detect some omissions in these pages, for
+all that has here been done has been done at first hand, and where a
+magazine was inaccessible to me, I have not attempted to see it
+through the eyes of a more fortunate investigator."[14] What is here
+said of Philadelphia is equally true of Boston, New York, Baltimore
+and the other centers of literary activity of a century ago.
+
+    [Footnote 14: Albert H. Smyth, _The Philadelphia Magazines
+    and their Contributors_, 1741-1850. Philadelphia, Robert M.
+    Lindsay, 1892. Preface, p. 5.]
+
+In spite of the difficulties just mentioned it has been possible,
+after an extended search, to find enough volumes of the magazines to
+form an almost complete list for the period in question. What
+omissions there may be are, for the most part, obscure and unimportant
+publications, which failed to attract enough attention to be included
+in the large collections of this class of literature. One condition
+favored the preservation of the American magazines; there were a few
+institutions, like the Philadelphia Library Company, the American
+Philosophical Society, and others, which were in existence during the
+period when most of these publications were issued. It has been
+possible for them to amass a fairly representative collection of
+contemporaneous literature. On the other hand, more recent
+institutions, like the Boston Public Library or the Library of
+Congress, have displayed such industry in collecting, that they now
+have splendid lists of these early periodicals.
+
+The plan of the present investigation has been, therefore, to visit
+those libraries where large numbers of the books needed are located
+and thus, by combining the material secured in the different places,
+to approach as near as possible to completeness. One library fills out
+the gaps of another and it often happens that, in order to see the
+entire set of a magazine, it is necessary to visit three or four
+libraries. A record has been kept as to where the individual volumes
+are, but as useful as this information might be for those working in
+the same or in a kindred field it has been found too complex to be
+indicated in the list of magazines given in Part V.[15] The material
+here included is based on a personal examination of about three
+hundred volumes representing one hundred and twenty-eight different
+magazines.
+
+    [Footnote 15: A list of the libraries consulted is given at
+    the beginning of Part V.]
+
+In treating the German influence in the American magazines, it is
+important to consider the position which the magazine held during this
+early period. Difference in conditions enabled the periodical to play
+quite a different rôle from that which it now plays. In the eighteenth
+century, as compared with the present day, free libraries were scarce
+and readers had to depend largely on the books they could buy or
+borrow. Then, too, books were expensive, because many had to be
+imported from abroad, and those printed here could not be sold as
+cheaply as now. These conditions favored the magazines, which were
+inexpensive and furnished to their readers, besides original matter,
+republications of the best literature of Europe. They kept the public
+abreast with the times and supplied the place now occupied by the
+numerous libraries and books which can be purchased at a moderate
+cost.
+
+Another element which the magazine of a century ago did not have to
+contend with so vigorously was the newspaper. The modern newspaper is
+becoming larger and larger, and is making increased demand every day
+on the time and interest of the public. In the eighteenth century and
+the first decade of the nineteenth this was not the case. To be sure,
+there were many newspapers, gazettes and advertisers, but they were
+comparatively small in size, consisting usually of only four or six
+pages. "At the period of the American Revolution, journalism had
+nowhere reached [an] advanced stage of effectiveness. In America,
+especially, the newspapers were petty, dingy, languid, inadequate
+affairs; and the department of the newspaper now devoted to editorial
+writing, then scarcely existed at all."[16] Many editors considered
+the news available to be sufficient merely for a weekly instead of a
+daily issue. This is not surprising. With the absence of the modern
+telegraph, telephone, ocean cable and steam railroad the facility for
+getting news from a distance was greatly diminished. Then, too, as the
+population of the country was much smaller than now, the most
+important domestic news could be told in a few columns. All this
+tended to keep the newspapers within moderate proportions, and
+although they were numerous, it is safe to say that they did not make
+such a demand on the reader's time as to divert his attention from a
+more serious kind of literature. People had, therefore, plenty of
+leisure for careful perusal of the magazines, and these, by giving in
+many cases a summary of the news, decreased the necessity for the
+newspaper. For advertisements and business announcements the gazettes
+and advertisers were the main source, but for general information and
+current literature persons did not have to devote so much attention to
+the newspaper.
+
+    [Footnote 16: M. C. Tyler, _The Literary History of the
+    American Revolution_, I, 1763-1776, New York, 1897, p. 18.]
+
+As far as can be learned, the magazine in this early period was
+regarded in a more serious light than to-day. It was not a means to
+while away an idle hour--something to be glanced at hastily and then
+thrown aside. The editors attempted, on the contrary, to give the best
+literature at their disposal, whether original or reprint, and
+endeavored to improve the public taste by selecting matter that would
+be acceptable to a scholarly audience. "A striking difference between
+the older magazine and the recent ones is the conspicuous absence from
+the journal of a century ago of what is commonly called 'light
+literature.'"[17]
+
+    [Footnote 17: Smyth, _op. cit._, p. 20.]
+
+Tyler mentions the same conditions. "Our colonial journalism soon
+became, in itself, a really important literary force. It could not
+remain forever a mere disseminator of public gossip, or a placard for
+the display of advertisements. The instinct of critical and brave
+debate was strong even among those puny editors, and it kept
+struggling for expression. Moreover, each editor was surrounded by a
+coterie of friends, with active brains and a propensity to utterance;
+and these constituted a sort of unpaid staff of editorial
+contributors, who, in various forms,--in letters, essays, anecdotes,
+epigrams, poems, lampoons,--helped to give vivacity and even literary
+value to the paper."[18]
+
+    [Footnote 18: M. C. Tyler, _A History of American
+    Literature_, II, 1676-1765, New York, 1878, pp. 304, 305.]
+
+Considering these facts, it is seen that the magazines of the period
+under discussion played a more important rôle in the cultural
+development of the people than they do now. They were not as numerous,
+nor were so many copies of each number issued then as now, but the
+population was also much smaller, and consequently a smaller number of
+periodicals sufficed, although relatively they may have been as
+numerous. One thing seems certain,--in the absence of so much other
+reading matter, the magazine went into the home and was perused with
+care by the different members of the household. We have only to refer
+to the attention given to the almanacs during a period slightly
+earlier, and these did not attempt to present as much entertaining
+literature as the magazines. The prominence of these literary
+periodicals in the development of American thought and culture is
+usually overlooked, but should certainly be recognized in the history
+of literature in America.
+
+All this is very pertinent to the subject. The importance of the
+translations and poems, here reprinted, in bringing things German
+before the American public depends naturally upon the importance of
+the channel by which they were introduced. From what has just been
+said, it is evident that the magazine not only had a wider and freer
+scope then than now, but also attempted to preserve as high a
+literary and scholarly standard as was possible for that day. What was
+admitted to its pages had therefore considerable weight and influence,
+and became known at once as far as the magazine circulated. It is for
+this reason that the appearance of so many poems and prose articles
+relating to the German countries becomes so important, and the
+interest here aroused was to increase many fold in the decades
+immediately following.
+
+The publication of translations of German poetry in the American
+magazines indicates a twofold activity. In the first place it shows
+active interest and enthusiasm on the part of a few individuals who
+read and appreciated German literature and who had the ability not
+only to understand the foreign poetry but also to translate it for
+their fellow countrymen. How many there were who could read the
+original, it is impossible to say, but these translators were
+certainly only a small part of the Americans who understood German. In
+the second place the appearance of German poems in the magazines
+indicates a growing acquaintance with German literature, on the part
+of the public at large. From the fact that the number of translations
+increased from year to year we may infer that they found favor in the
+eyes of the readers. Even if the circulation of the individual
+magazines was small, the combined effect of so many must have been
+considerable.
+
+It may seem at first thought that relatively few poems have been
+collected in proportion to the ground covered.[19] There is a
+limitation, however, that must not be overlooked. Only a small part of
+each magazine was devoted to poetry and, after the original
+productions and the republications of English verse (which naturally
+received first consideration), German could only hope for its share
+along with the other foreign literatures. It is remarkable how many
+foreign literatures are represented in the sections of these magazines
+devoted to poetry. There are translations from the Latin, French,
+German, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Norse (Icelandic), Italian, Spanish,
+Portuguese, Irish, Welsh, Greek, Laplandish, Persian and Turkish. In
+all this mass of translations, German ranks perhaps third as regards
+quantity; it is exceeded only by the Latin and French.[20] This is
+true, however, only for the period to the end of 1810. The situation
+in the three succeeding decades is very different, but will be
+discussed at a later time.
+
+    [Footnote 19: There are in the magazines of the period, 71
+    translations of German poetry and 10 duplicates; 68 original
+    poems and translations of other Teutonic poetry, and 24
+    duplicates.]
+
+    [Footnote 20: No list of the translations from the Latin and
+    French in these magazines has been made, so that a numerical
+    comparison with those from the German is at present
+    impossible.]
+
+There is another reason why these magazines did not contain more
+translations from the German. The period under consideration coincides
+very closely with the classical epoch of German literature and many of
+the masterpieces were not issued until near the end. _Hermann und
+Dorothea_ appeared in 1797 and _Wallenstein_ three years later, while
+_Wilhelm Tell_ was not finished until 1804 and the completed _Faust_
+(first and second parts) was published twenty-three years after the
+period closes. The dates of much of the classical German literature
+precluded the possibility of its being translated until two thirds of
+the period had passed. However valuable these works are, it is not
+remarkable that they should not have become known immediately on this
+side of the Atlantic. For the Germans here, the originals were all
+that were needed, and it naturally took some time for the English part
+of the population to realize the worth of the books and to demand
+translations. These causes, then, prevented the German influence in
+the magazines from assuming larger proportions.
+
+The period treated in the present study is from 1741 to 1810
+inclusive. The year 1741 is chosen as marking the beginning of the
+American periodicals of a literary type. The publications of an
+earlier date that were examined were devoted almost entirely to news,
+or were almanacs that contained no literary material, for example, the
+_New England Kalendar_, I, 1706, Boston, or the _New Weekly Journal_,
+1728, Boston. These have been omitted from the list. It is therefore
+not until 1741 that our period really begins. The two magazines which
+were to be the pioneers of this extensive class of American literature
+had been announced in the previous year. The _Phila. Weekly Mercury_
+(Oct. 30, 1740) gives the prospectus of a magazine to be edited by
+John Webbe and printed by Andrew Bradford; while in the _Pennsylvania
+Gazette_ (Nov. 13, 1740) Franklin announced _The General Magazine and
+Historical Chronicle for all the British Plantations in America_. A
+bitter controversy soon arose,--Franklin claiming that Webbe had
+stolen his plans, and Webbe accusing Franklin of using his position
+as Postmaster to exclude the _Mercury_ from the mail. Both magazines
+were issued in January, 1741; Webbe's journal, _The American Magazine;
+or a Monthly View of the Political State of the British Colonies_, ran
+for three months and Franklin's for six months.[21] With these, then,
+the investigation for the present subject begins. As has been
+indicated, the work has been extended to the end of the year 1840.
+After that, German literature was established as a well known factor
+in our intellectual development, as is shown by the numerous books of
+translations and imitations, and the magazines were, henceforth, less
+important in this particular. The period here treated extends only to
+the end of 1810. These years witnessed the beginning of the movement
+and the first period of considerable activity in this field. During
+the years immediately following 1810 there was a decline in the German
+literary influence in the American magazines.[22]
+
+    [Footnote 21: John Bach McMaster, _Benjamin Franklin as a Man
+    of Letters_, Boston, 1887, p. 129 seq.]
+
+    [Footnote 22: A similar decline in the German literary
+    influence was noticed also in England after 1810.]
+
+To estimate definitively the amount of literary activity in America
+with respect to things German, as illustrated by these translations
+and poems, would require considerable information concerning the
+translators. If the translator lived in England and his work was
+simply reprinted in an American magazine, the literary activity
+belongs more to England than to this country; but the fact that the
+poem was reprinted shows a desire to acquaint readers here with
+foreign poetry, the only difference being that the influence came
+through England and not from Germany direct. Where the works printed
+are from the pen of an American, they represent not only the ability
+of the writer to appreciate German, but also the active interest to
+reproduce it for the American public; the translation is then entirely
+an American product. As to Englishmen here doing this kind of work, it
+would be of advantage to know whether they were merely travelers or
+sojourners, or had been here long enough to be considered an integral
+part of our civilization. However useful this information would be, it
+is, in a majority of cases, unobtainable. Most of the translations
+appeared without any indication as to authorship. One thing that may
+partly account for this was the tendency of the early magazines to
+copy and plagiarize. Scores of poems were found which had previously
+been printed in other periodicals (American or English), but for the
+source of which no credit was given. Even the author's name was
+suppressed. In one instance an editor inserted a poem that had
+appeared in the very same magazine one or two years earlier, and yet
+the readers were to receive it as something new.[23] The only possible
+means of identification in these cases is by comparison with published
+collections of translations. Several translations have thus been
+traced to Sir Walter Scott, M. G. Lewis, William Taylor of Norwich and
+others. Many are reprints from English magazines, concerning which it
+is impossible at present to give more accurate information. The
+subject has not been investigated with respect to the English
+periodicals, and since their number is far greater than the American,
+it would require a separate study to prepare a list of translations
+from the German published in them. It is, therefore, impracticable to
+exclude from the present discussion translations and poems by
+Englishmen, for it is only where the author's name is mentioned, or a
+note given, stating that the translation was made for such and such a
+magazine, that we can be sure whether it was an American product or
+not. The important fact is that the translation appeared in America
+and helped to make known to American readers certain specimens of
+German literature.
+
+    [Footnote 23: _The Moss Rose_, From the German [of
+    Krummacher]. _The Minerva_, I-40, May 4, 1822 and II-296,
+    Dec. 20, 1823, N. Y.]
+
+In the selection of material certain limitations were necessary. In
+the list of prose translations and articles dealing with the German
+countries, everything has been mentioned which refers directly or
+indirectly to Germany. This is important in giving a complete estimate
+of the interest shown, for there was a desire to know something about
+German prose works, German biography and history as well as German
+poetry. From the list of translations reprinted here, however, have
+been excluded all translations of dramas except certain selections,
+such as songs or short scenes approaching the lyrical mood. In most of
+the portions of dramas reproduced the passages are too long for
+republication or the interest is wholly dramatic and not lyric. The
+subject of the present study is, then, specifically--the German lyric
+poetry which appeared in English in the magazines of America.
+
+The term "poetry" is here taken in a liberal sense and includes more
+than the translations of German verse alone. Some translations were
+found whose originals, though prosaic in form, are poetic in content.
+This was readily recognized by the translators, who have accordingly
+given metrical renderings. For example, we have _Letter LXI of the
+Sorrows of Werter Versified_; four of Gessner's prose idyls have been
+rendered into verse, and in the later period Krummacher's prose fable,
+_The Moss Rose_, appears five times in verse (1819, 1822, 1823, 1829,
+1831) and twice in prose (1827, 1833). Similarly, prose translations
+of German verse have been included, e. g., two fables from Gellert
+(1796), _Morning_, from Haller (1793), and the Swiss song, _Ranz des
+Vaches_ (1805).[24] On the other hand, prose translations of Gessner's
+prose idyls are recorded by title only. Another poem of a different
+class must be mentioned. In the volumes examined only one German poem
+written in America was found. This was _Hoffnung_ by "Adelio" and a
+note stated that it was written "For the Philadelphia Repository"
+(Feb. 18, 1804, Phila.). At the end were the words: "A poetical
+translation is requested." The following number (Feb. 25) contained a
+translation.
+
+    [Footnote 24: The _Ranz des Vaches_ has also four metrical
+    versions:
+
+    1833--_The Lady's Book_, VI-164.
+    1833--_The Juvenile Rambler_, II-84.
+    1835--_Amer. Mo. Mag._, V-424.
+    1809--_The Visitor_, I-72 (entitled _Cow Boy's Chant_).]
+
+Another group of poems calling for some attention includes those
+translated from the French. These are of two kinds. In the first place
+there are poems written in French by Germans or Swiss, such as the
+poems of Frederick the Great, and also the _Ranz des Vaches_. As to
+the latter, the French verses are given in two instances together with
+the translation,[25] so that it is certain what the original was. In
+other instances no mention is made of the source. Since part of the
+population of Switzerland has always been German, a German form of the
+song very likely existed. It is difficult, therefore, to say whether
+this or the French version was used by the translator. The title is
+French but this might have been retained for the German stanzas.
+
+    [Footnote 25: _Boston Weekly Mag._, III-60, Feb. 2, 1805,
+    Boston.
+
+    _The Visitor_, I-72, June 3, 1809, Richmond. ]
+
+The second class of translations from the French comprehends those
+from authors who usually wrote in German; thus, _Navigation_, "From
+the French of Gessner" (1803), and _The Usurer_, "From the French of
+Gellert" (_Port Folio_, XVI-245, 1823). Either these may have been
+taken from French translations of the German,[26] or the word "French"
+may be a mistake.[27] This second group has been classed with the
+translations of German poetry (Part II); while the first group from
+the French belongs to Part III.
+
+    [Footnote 26: The British Museum catalogue mentions "_Fables
+    et Contes_ [trans. principally from the German of C. F.
+    Gellert, etc.], 1754."]
+
+    [Footnote 27: Cf. _The Earth's Division_, "Trans. from Goethe
+    [sic], by L. E. L." _Waldie's Port Folio_, Part I-123, Apr.
+    11, 1835, Phila.
+
+    Also, _Benevolence_, "A Fable from the German of Galleret"
+    [sic], 1802.]
+
+No attempt is here made to discuss the critical estimate that the
+Americans of this period placed upon German literature. This would
+require a consideration of all the prose articles, whereas the present
+study has been devoted entirely to the poetry. It is hoped that, from
+the list given in Part IV, such information may be obtained. Besides
+the several paragraphs on German literati, the individual poems are
+often preceded by an introductory note praising the original of the
+translation. Even back in the eighteenth century, people were
+considering the utility of the modern languages as opposed to the
+classics. The _American Museum_, for example, published a _Speech on
+the learned languages_, by the Hon. Francis Hopkinson, which concludes
+with the remark that the "languages most in use are, in truth, the
+most useful to be known."[28]
+
+    [Footnote 28: _Amer. Mus._, III, Jan.-June, 1788, p. 539. Cf.
+    Part IV, p. 194; also the remark of W. E. Channing, Part I,
+    p. 1.]
+
+On the other hand there were unsympathetic writers who ridiculed the
+Germans and their literature. The _Monthly Magazine_ published a
+letter entitled _Literary Industry of the Germans_, which decried
+their pedantic scholarship in unprofitable directions.[29] This attack
+is also expressed in the form of parodies, of which the following
+were found: _The Wolf King_, a satire on _The Water King_, _The Fire
+King_, etc. (1802), _The Paint King_, a burlesque on _The Cloud King_,
+_The Fire King_ and others (1809, 1833), _Against Faustus_ (1804),
+_The Squeaking Ghost_, "a tale imitated from the German, according to
+the true and genuine principles of the horrifick" (1808, 1809, 1810),
+_Parody on Bürger's Earl Walter_ (1807), _Ode to the German Drama_,
+"Parody of Gray's Ode to Adversity" (1806), and _Burlesque on the
+style in which most of the German romantic ballads are written_ (1799,
+1801). In some of these instances the parodies may denote no real
+hostility but merely a rhymester's attempt to be clever.
+
+    [Footnote 29: "A German writer, L. W. Bruggeman, has
+    published, at Stettin, in Pomerania, a Prussian province, a
+    work, in English, on which he has laboured twenty-five years.
+    It contains _a view of all the English editions, translations
+    and illustrations of the ancient Greek and Latin authors_. In
+    the execution of this work, he has been at great expense,
+    being obliged to purchase and import a great number of
+    English books. This is a very curious specimen of learned
+    perseverance and labour. That a man should spend his life in
+    recounting the translations of ancient authors into a
+    language foreign to his own! It is one of the most difficult,
+    tiresome, unpopular, and unprofitable branches of the trade.
+    Germany, however, affords innumerable instances of this kind
+    of literary diligence. There is a press at Leipsic abundantly
+    supplied with editions and interpretations of Chinese,
+    Abyssinian, Coptic and Syriac productions."
+
+    _Mo. Mag. and Amer. Rev._, II-8, 1800, N. Y.]
+
+It is worthy of note that several of the poems in these magazines may
+be grouped together, thus indicating particular interest in certain
+subjects. Each group forms, as it were, a cycle, though the individual
+poems were usually written by different persons. One of these groups
+attests the popularity of Frederick the Great, even before the
+American Revolution. The translations from his poetry are: _Relaxation
+of War_ (1758, 1795, 1798), _The King of Prussia's Ode imitated in
+rhime_ (1758), _A literal translation of the King of Prussia's Ode_
+(1758), _Translation of an Epistle from the King of Prussia to
+Monsieur Voltaire_ (1759), _Ode to Death_ (1786, 1806), _Prayer of
+Frederick II in Behalf of Poets_ (1805), and _A Song_ (1811). The
+original poems about Frederick are: _Winter_, a poem, containing a
+reference to "great Frederick's noble feats" (1758), _On the compleat
+Victory ..._ (1758), _Ode on the late Victory obtained by the King of
+Prussia_ (1758), _On the glorious Victory ..._ (1758), _The Third
+Psalm paraphrased_, "Alluding to his Prussian Majesty" (1758), _On
+reading in the publick Papers ..._ (1758), _The Royal Comet_,
+referring to "Prussia's great Frederick" (1758), and _Mr. Voltaire's
+letter to his Prussian Majesty, Translated_ (1758).
+
+Another group treats the kings of the natural elements, so common in
+German literature: _The Erl King_ (1798, July 1833, Sept. 1833, 1835,
+1836, 1838, 1839), _The Erl King's Daughter_ (1798), _The Water King_,
+a Danish Ballad (1798), _The Wolf King_, a parody on _The Water King_,
+_The Fire King_, etc. (1802), _Hrim Thor, or the Winter King_ (1802),
+_Grim, King of the Ghosts_ (1802) and _The Paint King_, a burlesque
+on _The Cloud King_, _The Fire King_, etc. (1809, 1810, 1833). This
+interest in the weird element explains the popularity of Bürger's
+_Lenore_, which appears in translation in 1798, 1801, 1804, 1823,
+1836, 1839, 1840.
+
+Switzerland is described in a variety of poems, treating all phases of
+the life and scenery. The most prominent among them is the Swiss song,
+which is variously translated as the _Ranz des Vaches_, the _Cow Boy's
+Chant_, and _The Song of the Swiss in a Strange Land_ (1805, Oct. 15,
+Oct. 29, Nov. 1, Nov. 8, Dec. 17, 1808, June, June 3, 1809, twice in
+1833 and once in 1835). In addition to the translations, there are
+four imitations of the same poem: _The Swiss Exiles' Song_ (1835),
+_The Switzer's Return_ [from America] (1836), _The Switzer's Song of
+Home_ (1837, 1838), and _The Swiss Emigrant's Dream of Home_
+(1840).[30]
+
+    [Footnote 30: A translation of Schiller's _Ranz des Vaches in
+    "William Tell"_ is given in _The Constellation_, III-266,
+    July 7, 1832, N. Y.]
+
+The last group of poems to be mentioned refers to Goethe's novel, _Die
+Leiden des jungen Werthers_. This was evidently popular in America,
+though by no means causing the widespread delirium and sentimentality
+that had been rife in Germany. During our period the book was
+published here six times in translation, and an English imitation,
+_The Letters of Charlotte, during her Connexion with Werter_, had
+three American reprints.[31] These, together with translations
+imported from England, must have made Werter well known in this
+country. It is not surprising, therefore, to find in the magazines
+eight poems on the subject: _Narcissa_, containing a reference to
+Werter in the third stanza (1787), _Charlotte's Soliloquy--to the
+Manes of Werter_ (1787), _Death of Werter_ (1787), _Werter's Epitaph_
+(1787, 1791, 1805), _On Reading the Sorrows of Werter_ (1790), _Letter
+LXI of the Sorrows of Werter, Versified_ (1791), _Werter's Farewell to
+Charlotte_ (1798) and _Charlotte at the Tomb of Werter_ (1809).
+
+    [Footnote 31: Wilkens, _op. cit._, p. 164 seq.]
+
+The early American magazines, then, were instrumental in making German
+literature and especially German poetry known in America. It was
+possible for them to print translations of individual poems of an
+author long before there was a demand for them in book form. Gessner,
+Bürger, Gellert, Lessing and others have already been mentioned in
+this connection. It is interesting to note just what poets were
+introduced to the American public by means of the magazines. Gessner
+and Bürger were the most popular, the former appearing twenty-five
+times and the latter ten times before 1811. Gessner was perhaps the
+German poet best known in America. During this period his _Death of
+Abel_ had no less than sixteen American imprints and four imitations,
+while translations of his _Idyls_ appeared in book form twice in 1802
+and once in 1807.[32] Bürger, on the other hand, was known only
+through these poems in the magazines, or perhaps through imported
+books. No volume of translations of his poems belongs to this period
+of American printing.
+
+    [Footnote 32: Wilkens, _op. cit._, p. 108 seq. and 164 seq.
+
+    In England, likewise, the _Idyls_ were constantly on the
+    book-market and _The Death of Abel_ had 20 editions before
+    1800. Cf. Herzfeld, _op. cit._, p. 6.]
+
+After these, Gellert, Lessing and Haller had some share of recognition
+both by translation and criticism. Goethe, as has been shown, was
+known as the author of _Werter_. As for his lyrical productions, only
+two appeared, _The Erl-King_ (1798) and _Frederick and Alice_,
+"Imitated rather than translated from a fragment introduced in
+Goethe's _Claudine von Villa Bella_" (1807). Other poets, like Jacobi,
+Klopstock, Matthisson, Kotzebue, Patzke or Bürde, found an occasional
+admirer, but not enough was done to bring their characteristics
+plainly before the public. In addition to these, there were numerous
+parodies and original poems, which helped to emphasize the importance
+of things German. This influence, moreover, was aided by the
+translations of prose works and by articles on German literature,
+history and biography, which are scattered through the pages of these
+periodicals. The American magazines accomplished considerable for
+German in this country. The movement here treated grew until it
+assumed a widespread importance a few decades later, but the period to
+the end of 1810 is interesting as marking the beginning. It was the
+first epoch of this type of literary activity in America.

+    Awake my infant; open now thine eyes,
+      Leave the corruption of thy mortal birth,

+           LETTER LXI. OF THE SORROWS OF WERTER, VERSIFIED.
+
+    Though Homer fired my youthful breast,
+    My tender fancy deep imprest,
+      Ere grief had made me smart:
+    Yet of him Ossian has ta'en place;
+    His woe-fraught strains, with solemn grace,
+      Now occupy my heart.
+
+    To what a world of direful kind,
+    The Bard illustrious leads my mind,
+      'Midst heaths and wilds to stray;
+    Where the fierce whirlwinds sweep the plain;
+    Where the moon feebly holds her reign;
+      And ghosts elude the day.
+
+    To hear from off the mountains steep,
+    The plaintive sounds, from caverns deep,
+      Of water's dismal roar:
+    To hear the maiden's doleful cries,
+    That on her warrior's tomb-stone dies,
+      Who her did much adore.
+
+    I meet this bard of silver hair,
+    He wanders in the valley drear,
+      Whilst grief his mind consumes:
+    His father's footsteps tries to trace
+    In vain, for time does them efface;
+      He only finds their tombs.
+
+    The pale moon sinks, amid the waves,
+    He contemplates her as she laves
+      Her tresses in the sea:
+    Reflects on time for ever gone,
+    When danger pleased and spurred him on,
+      Till every foe did flee.
+
+    When he returned on evening grey,
+    The moon shone on his Bark of prey,
+      His trophies won, displayed:
+    When by his countenance, I find
+    Deep-rooted sorrow fill his mind,
+      That youth so soon decayed.
+
+    When I perceive that glory bright
+    To fade so soon, to sink in night,
+      And tottering to the grave:
+    And when around he casts an eye
+    On the cold earth, where he must die,
+      The fate of e'en the brave.--
+
+    The traveller will come, he cries,
+    He'll come who saw my beauty rise,
+      And anxiously enquire;
+    Where is the bard and warrior gone,
+    Where is Fingal's illustrious son,
+      Whither does he retire.
+
+    Then searching o'er the field and mead,
+    He lightly on my tomb shall tread,
+      But me he ne'er shall find:
+    Then I, my friend, like a true knight,
+    My sword shall draw, my prince to right,
+      And ease his troubled mind.
+
+    And this atchieved, with grief opprest,
+    Could plunge it deep in my own breast,
+      And eager for him bleed:
+    To follow him now half divine,
+    Hero of the Fingalian line,
+      Who by my hand was freed.

+                              BY HALLER.
+
+The moon retires--Nature's dark veil no more obscures the air and
+earth--the twinkling stars disappear and the reviving warmth of the
+sun awakens all creatures.
+
+Already are the heavens adorned with its purple hues and its sparkling
+sapphires. Aurora, fair harbinger of the day, graciously dispenses
+smiles; and brightness of the roses which wreath her forehead
+dissipates the mists of night.
+
+The flaming of the world advances from the eastern gate, triumphantly
+treading on the shining splendours of the milky way; clouds covered
+with Heaven's rubies, oppose him with their lightning, and a flame of
+gold spreads itself around the horizon.
+
+The roses open to salute the sun with genial dews; and the lilies
+exhale delicious odours from their sattin'd leaves.
+
+The vigilant hind flies to the labour-giving field; he guides with
+careful pleasure the earth-piercing plough; in the meantime his ears
+are delighted by the lightsome band of minstrels, which sweeten the
+air and the woods with their melodious notes. Thus doth benignant
+Heaven lighten the heavy pressure of toilful industry! O Creator! all
+that I see are the effects of thy power! thou art the soul of nature
+and doth actuate every part! the stated periods and glittering
+appearance of yon orbs, and the unquenched fires of the revolving sun,
+proceed from thy hands, and boast thy impression!
+
+Thou illumest the solemn moon to guide us amid darkness; thou dost
+lend wings to the unseen wind, and by night thou dost enrich the earth
+with fruitful dews.
+
+From the dust thou hast formed yon proud-topt mountain; from sand hast
+thou produced metals; thou hast spread yon firmament, and thou hast
+clothed it with clouds, that it may remain unpolluted by the exploring
+eye of man.
+
+Thou hast wonderfully formed the veins of that fish which causes
+rivers to overflow, and which makes whirlpools, and spreads
+devastation with the flappings of his tail. Thou hast built the
+elephant, and thou hast animated its enormous bulk, that it resembles
+a moving mountain. Thou supportest yon splendid arches of the heavens
+upon the vast void; and with thy word thou hast produced from chaos
+this wondrous universe, filling it with order, and giving it no other
+limit than its grandeur.
+
+Great God! created spirits are too insignificant to raise the glory of
+thy works! We lose ourselves in their immensity. To tell them one must
+resemble thyself on infinity. Humbly contented, I remain in my own
+prescribed circle. Incomprehensible Being! thy resplendent glories
+blind the presuming eye of man! and He from whom the earth receives
+its being, needs not the praises of a worm!

+
+While a nightingale chanted in the midst of a forest, the neighbouring
+hills and vallies were delighted with her exquisite melody. Every
+wild bird forgot to sing, listening with fond admiration. Aurora
+tarried behind the hill, attending to her musical cadences; and
+Philomel, in honor of the goddess, warbled with unusual sweetness. At
+that she paused, and the lark took the opportunity of thus addressing
+her; 'Your music meets with just approbation; the variety, the
+clearness, and tenderness of the notes are inimitable; nevertheless,
+in one circumstance I am entitled to a preference. My melody is
+uninterrupted; and every morning is ushered with my gratulations. Your
+song on the contrary, is heard but seldom; and, except during a few
+weeks in the Summer, you have no claim to peculiar attention.' 'You
+have mentioned,' replied the Nightingale, 'the very cause of my
+superior excellence. I attend to, and obey, the dictates of Nature. I
+never sing but by her incitements; nor even yield to importunate, but
+uninspired inclination.'

+
+Clarine loved her husband with sincere affection--for he was a husband
+to her mind. Their desires and aversions were the same. It was
+Clarine's study to be agreeable, and by unwearied attention, to
+anticipate her husband's wishes. "Such a wife," says my male reader,
+who has thoughts of matrimony, "such a wife would I desire."--And such
+a wife mayst thou obtain.--Clarine's husband fell sick--a dangerous
+illness.--"No hope" said the physician, and shook his awful whig.
+Bitterly wept Clarine. "O death!" she cried, "O death! might I prefer
+a petition? Spare my husband; let me be the victim in his stead."
+Death heard, appeared, and "What," said the grim spectre, "is thy
+request?" "There," said Clarine sore dismayed, "There he lies;
+overcome with agony he implores thy speedy relief."

+                               THE WISH

+
+    Once more could I wish, ere yet my blest spirit
+        Sunk in Elysium, peaceful mansion of shades!
+      That spot t' revisit, where Infancy
+          In dreams aerial, play'd 'round my brows.
+
+      The shrub of my country, whose branches o'erspread
+    The cool nest of the patridge, waves gentler my friend,
+        Than all the gay forests of laurel
+          O'er the dust of the world's mighty conq'rors.
+
+      The streamlet of that mead, where in childhood
+        I cull'd early violets, more musically murmurs
+          'Midst the alders once rear'd by my sire,
+            Than the silver Blandusian fountain.
+
+      The hill, on which swains, in bands youthful and gay
+    Danc'd 'round the trunk of the sweet blossom'd poplar,
+        With greater rapture inspir'd my heart,
+      Than Alps dazzling heights in roset glimm'ring.
+
+      Therefore could I wish, ere yet my blest spirit
+        Sunk in Elysium, peaceful mansion of shades
+          That spot t' revisit, where infancy
+      In dreams aerial, play'd 'round my brows.
+
+    Then may death's smirking genius, of a sudden,
+      Extinguish life's taper, well pleas'd I'll hasten

+
+    Scarce had she spoke, when, at her door
+      An old decrepid wretch appears;
+    Bent on his crutch he begs an alms,
+      And moves her pity with his tears.
+
+    Belinda felt for his distress,
+      She heav'd a sigh and shook her head;
+    Then to this aged son of woe
+      Stretch'd forth a--crust of mouldy bread.

+    And this proud death is seemliest in the man
+      Who for a kindred race, a country bleeds:
+    Three hundred Spartans from the shining van
+      Of those, whom fame in this high triumph leads.
+
+    Great is the death for a good prince incurr'd;
+      Who wields the sceptre with benignant hand:
+    Well may for him the noble bare his sword,
+      Falling he earns the blessings of a land.
+
+    Death for a friend, parent, child, or her we love,
+      If not so great, is beauteous to behold:
+    This the fine tumults of the hearts approve;
+      It is the walk to death unbought of gold.
+
+    But for mere majesty to meet a wound--
+      Who holds that great or glorious, he mistakes:
+    That is the fury of the pamper'd hound,
+      Which envy, anger, or the whip, awakes.
+
+    And for a tyrant's sake to seek a jaunt
+      To hell ----'s a death which only hell enjoys;
+    Where such a hero falls--the gibbet plant,
+      A murderer's trophy, and a plunderer's prize.

+Believe me, my friend, the great world is not suited to philosophers

+
+In early ages the swallow was as tuneful and melodious a bird as the
+nightingale; but she soon became weary of residing in solitary groves
+to excite the admiration of none but the industrious peasant and the
+innocent shepherdess. She left her humble friends, and removed into
+town. What was the consequence? As the inhabitants of the city had not
+leisure to attend to her divine song, she gradually forgot it, and in
+its stead learned to--build.

+            (The Original is by Goëthe, Author of Werter.)
+
+      Who is it that rides through the forest so fast,

+      The father, who holds his young son in his arm,
+      And close in his mantle has wrapped him up warm.
+
+    --"Why trembles my darling? Why shrinks he with fear?"
+      "Oh father! my father! the Erl-king is near!
+      The Erl-king, with his crown and his beard long and white!"
+    --"Oh! thine eyes are deceived by the vapours of night."
+
+    --"If you will, dear baby, with me go away,
+      I will give you fine clothes; we will play a fine play;
+      Fine flowers are growing, white, scarlet and blue,
+      On the banks of yon river, and all are for you."
+
+    --"Oh father! my father! and dost thou not hear
+      What words the Erl-king whispers low in mine ear?"--
+    --"Now hush thee, my darling, thy terrors appease:
+      Thou hear'st 'midst the branches when murmurs the breeze."
+
+    --"If you will, dear baby, with me go away,
+      My daughter shall tend you so fair and so gay;
+      My daughter, in purple and gold who is drest,
+      Shall nurse you, and kiss you, and sing you to rest."
+
+    --"Oh father! my father! and dost thou not see?
+      The Erl-king and his daughter are waiting for me?"
+    --"Now shame thee, my dearest! 'tis fear makes thee blind:
+      Thou seest the dark willows which wave in the wind."--
+
+    --"I love you! I dote on that face so divine!
+      I must and will have you, and force makes you mine!"
+    --"My father! my father! Oh hold me now fast!
+      He pulls me! he hurts, and will have me at last!"--
+
+      The father, he trembled; he doubled his speed:
+      O'er hills and through forests he spurred his black steed:
+      But when he arrived at his own castle-door,
+      Life throbbed in the sweet baby's bosom no more.

+                 LYCAS; OR THE INVENTIONS OF GARDENS.
+                 Attempted from the Idyls of Gessner.
+
+    The stormy winter drives us from the green,
+    Nor leaves a flower to decorate the scene;
+    The winds arise--with sweep impetuous blow,
+    And whirl around the flakes of fleecy snow;
+    Yet shall imagination fondly rise
+    And gather fair ideas as she flies:
+    The images that blooming spring pourtrays,
+    The sweets that bask in summer's sultry rays,
+    The rich and varied fruits of autumn's reign
+    Shall ope their treasures, in a bounteous train;
+    Of these the best, with choicest care display'd,
+    Shall form a wreath, for thee, my lovely maid!
+    So the fond shepherd, for his darling fair,
+    Culls beauteous flowers to deck her flowing hair.
+    The garden's rise shall grace my humble strains;
+    If Daphne smiles 'twill well repay my pains!
+    'Twas, in the morn of youth, a shepherd found
+    This happy art to decorate the ground;
+    This is the spot, the enamour'd Lycas cries,
+    Lycas the young, the gentle and the wise;
+    Under this elm, fair Adelaide first gave
+    The kiss of love to her devoted slave!
+    Whilst he, in am'rous accents told his flame,
+    With beating heart and agitated frame!
+    Here faint and weak my charmer sank to rest,
+    On the warm pillow of my panting breast!
+    "Lycas," with interrupting sobs, she said,
+    "Take the soft secret of an am'rous maid:
+    Of all the swains that strive this heart to move,
+    'Tis Lycas only Adelaide can love!
+    Ye peaceful groves--ye solitary springs--
+    To you I oft confess'd my secret stings!
+    And ye, sweet flowers bear witness to the truth
+    Of the soft flame that prey'd upon my youth;
+    Oft have your leaves that round me clust'ring grew,
+    Drank my warm tears as drops of morning dew."
+    My heart is full--what transport is my own!
+    For, in my bosom, love has fixed his throne.
+    Sacred to love this spot shall ever stand
+    Deck'd with luxuriant beauties by my hands.
+    Under this elm, the shadiest of the trees,
+    The rose shall pour its odours on the breeze;
+    Around its trunk the woodbine too shall rear
+    Its white and purple flowers aloft in air.
+    The treasures of the spring shall hither flow;
+    The piony by the lily here shall blow.
+    Over the hills, and through the meads I'll roam,
+    And bring the blooming spoils in rapture home:
+    The purple violet, the pink shall join,
+    The od'rous shrubs shall all their sweets combine,
+    Of these a grove of balmy sort shall rise,
+    And, with its fragrant blossoms, scent the skies!
+    Then round this little favour'd isle, I'll bring,
+    With gentle windings, yonder silver spring;
+    While eglantine and thorn shall interpose
+    Their hedge, a rampart 'gainst invading foes--
+    Lest sheep and rambling goats the place annoy,
+    And spoil the promise of our future joy.
+    Oh then approach, ye favour'd of the loves!
+    Come and dwell here ye gentle turtle doves!
+    On yonder spreading branches, perch'd on high,
+    With coos repeated greet the lover's sigh!
+    Then sportive sparrows round the roses play,
+    And sing, delighted, from the bending spray!
+    Ye butterflies, arrayed in coats of gold,
+    On beds of roses fluttering revels hold!
+    Here rest, upon the lily's waving stalk,
+    And add new beauty to the evening walk.
+    Then shall the shepherd passing, free from care,
+    When zephyr spreads the perfumes thro' the air,
+    Inhale the fragrance, and with transport cry,
+    What hallow'd place is this? what goddess nigh?
+    Does Venus own this gay, enchanted place?
+    Or has Diana, wearied in the chace,
+    Chosen a spot where choicest sweets abound,
+    To slumber on the consecrated ground?

+                               MYRTILLO.
+            An idyl, attempted from the German of Gessner.
+
+    At peaceful eve, Myrtillo sought the lake,
+    Whilst the moon's beams upon its bosom played;
+    The silent tract, illumin'd by its rays,
+    The nightingale's enchanting tender note,
+    Had held him bound in rapture's soothing trance.
+    At length, arous'd, he homeward took his steps,
+    And in the verdant bower, where clust'ring vines
+    Before his lonely dwelling formed a porch
+    Of simple structure, deeply slumbering found
+    His venerable parent--his grey head
+    Supported by his arm, while through the leaves
+    The moon-beams pour'd their lustre on his face.
+    With arms enfolded, and with swelling heart,
+    He stood before his father--long he stood,
+    His pious eyes fix'd fondly on the sage,
+    Then rais'd them, swimming with his filial tears,
+    And thro' the illumin'd leaves look'd up to heaven,
+    Whilst grateful drops roll'd down his moisten'd cheek.
+    Oh thou! at length he cried, whom, next the gods,
+    I reverence, my father--ah, how soft
+    Thy peaceful slumbers! Of the just and good
+    How placid is the sleep! Thy tottering steps
+    Were, doubtless, hither bent, in silent prayer
+    To spend the hour of eve; but, at thy task
+    Of duty, slumber seiz'd thee, whilst, for me,
+    Thy prayer of love was wing'd into the skies,
+    How happy is my lot! the fav'ring gods
+    Must hear thy fond petition; else, why stands
+    Our cot secure, amid the branches, bent
+    With ripening fruit? why, else, such blessings shower'd
+    Upon our healthy, fast increasing herd?
+    Upon the golden produce of our fields?
+    When oft the tear of joy bedew'd thy cheek,
+    To see me, anxious, cherish and support
+    Thy feeble age; when, towards the vault of heaven,
+    You turn'd your swimming eyes, and blest your son;
+    Ah! then, what words his blessings could express!
+    My bosom swell'd with transport, and the tears
+    O'erflow'd my glowing cheeks--
+    When yester morn, reclining on my arm,
+    You left our cot to feel the quickening beams
+    Of the warm sun, and saw about thee sport
+    The frolic herd, the trees, with fruit o'ercharg'd,
+    And all the fertile country blooming round,
+    "My hairs grow grey in peace," were then thy words;
+    "Fields of my youth, be ever, ever blest!
+    "My eyes, grow dim, shall not much longer view
+    "Your heart-delighting scenes, for happier plains
+    "Must I exchange you--plains beyond the skies."
+    Ah, father, best belov'd, must I so soon
+    Lose thee! my nearest friend!--distressing thought!
+    Close to thy tomb, with filial love, I'll raise
+    A modest altar, and with ardour seek
+    Each blest occasion to relieve the woes
+    Of the oppressed and wretched; on each day,
+    That gives the happy chance of doing good,
+    I'll pour sweet milk upon a parent's grave,
+    And strew with flowers the ever sacred spot--
+    He paus'd but kept his eyes, suffus'd with tears,
+    Fix'd on the good old man; then, sighing; said,
+    How still he lies, and smiles amidst his slumbers!
+    Some of his virtuous deeds must hover o'er,
+    In peaceful dreams, and fill his cheerful soul;
+    Whilst the moon pours her rays upon his bare
+    And shining temples, and his silver beard;
+    Oh may the breeze, and dewy damps of eve--
+    Do thee no harm. Then gently did he kiss
+    His aged forehead, gently wak'd him up,
+    And led him to his cot, in lighter sleep,
+    On softest furs, to slumber out the night.

+                    MYRTIL.
+
+    Whither so early sister, ere the sun,
+    Has, from behind yon hill, his course begun?
+    Scarce has the swallow to the morning ray,
+    Ventur'd to modulate his twittering lay.
+    The early cock, whom richest plumes adorn
+    Has yet but faintly hail'd the golden morn;
+    Whilst thou, to some unknown attraction true,
+    With hasty footsteps brush the silv'ry dew!
+    What festival to-day, do you prepare,
+    For fill'd with flowers, your basket scents the air.
+
+                    DAPHNE.
+
+    Welcome dear brother, whither points thy way,
+    Amidst the chilly damps of early day?
+    On what fair purpose from yon new form'd bower,
+    Hast thou come forth at twilight's silent hour?
+    For me--I've pluck'd the violet and the rose,
+    And sought each flower that round our cottage grows.
+    Whilst o'er our parents gentle slumbers spread
+    Their wings, I'll strew them on their peaceful bed;
+    Then when the sunbeams gild the glowing skies
+    Midst fragrant scents, they'll ope their aged eyes;
+    Their hearts shall then with pious joy rebound,
+    To find the blooming flowers, clust'ring round.
+
+                    MYRTIL.
+
+      My best belov'd, not life itself can prove,
+    Pleasing to me without a sister's love.
+    For me, dear girl, when yester eve we met,
+    Just as the sun had made a golden set,
+    Our parent, resting on our fav'rite hill,
+    Whilst we with fond attention watch'd his will;
+    "How sweet (he cried) on yonder spot to rear,
+    A shady bower to rest in, free from care!"
+    I heard his wish as though I heard it not,
+    Yet kept my thoughts fix'd firmly on the spot,
+    And ere her early beams Aurora sent,
+    My hasty steps toward the hill I bent,
+    And rear'd the bower and to its verdant side,
+    The waving, hazle branches, closely tied;
+    See, sister, see, the work at length is done;
+    Betray me not till I've his blessing won,
+    Till he himself shall thither bend his way;
+    Ah, then, with joy we'll celebrate the day.
+
+                    DAPHNE.
+
+    How grateful, brother, will be his surprize,
+    When first the distant bower shall greet his eyes!
+    But let me haste and gently o'er their bed,
+    My morning offering of fragrance spread.
+
+                    MYRTIL.
+
+      When they shall wake amid the fragrant pile,
+    They'll greet each other with a tender smile;
+    And say, this is our Daphne's work, sweet child;
+    Thus has our love the morning hours beguil'd.
+    For our delight, how tender 'tis to keep
+    A studious care whilst we were lock'd in sleep.
+
+                    DAPHNE.
+
+    Yes, brother, when at his accustomed hour,
+    Opening his casement he shall view thy bower,
+    "Sure (he'll exclaim) I do not see aright,
+    Or on yon hill an arbor greets my sight;
+    Yes, that is Myrtil's work,--for this bereft
+    Of his sweet sleep, his nightly couch he left:
+    Such are the plans, his filial thoughts engage,
+    And thus he soothes our fast declining age."
+      And when with joy we'll greet the morning ray,
+    With joy we'll celebrate the happy day,
+    Each work to-day commenc'd shall prosper well,
+    And peace and joy in every grove shall dwell.

+    Ah! then in vain, the fairest flow'rs
+    Exert their balmy-breathing pow'rs;
+    In vain her sweets does Nature bring,
+    In vain she wears the smile of spring.
+
+      Then Delia! nought on earth but thee,
+    My ravish'd senses feel or see,
+    With Love's wild frenzy then possessed,
+    My trembling heart beats 'gainst thy breast,
+    Then fondly sink, o'erpower'd with bliss,
+    Only alive to Delia's kiss.

+                             LEONORA. [b].
+                       A Tale, from the German.
+
+    "Ah, William! art thou false or dead?"
+    Cried Leonora from her bed.
+      "I dreamt thou'dst ne'er return."
+    William had fought in Frederick's host
+    At Prague--and what his fate--if lost
+      Or false, she could not learn.
+
+    Hungaria's queen and Prussia's king,
+    Wearied, at length with bickering,
+      Resolv'd to end the strife;
+    And homewards, then, their separate routs
+    The armies took, with songs and shouts,
+      With cymbals, drum and fife.
+
+    As deck'd with boughs they march'd along,
+    From every door, the old and young
+      Rush'd forth the troops to greet.
+    "Thank God," each child and parent cry'd,
+    And "welcome, welcome," many a bride,
+      As friends long parted meet.
+
+    They joy'd, poor Leonora griev'd:
+    No kiss she gave, no kiss receiv'd;
+      Of William none could tell;
+    She rung her hands, and tore her hair;
+    Till left alone in deep despair,
+      Bereft of sense, she fell.
+
+    Swift to her aid her mother came,
+    "Ah! say," cried she, "in mercy's name,
+      "What means this frantic grief?"
+    "Mother 'tis past--all hopes are fled,
+    "God hath no mercy, William's dead,
+      "My woe is past relief."
+
+    "Pardon, O pardon, Lord above!
+    "My child, with pray'rs invoke his love,
+      "The Almighty never errs?"
+    "O, mother! mother! idle prate,
+    "Can he be anxious for my fate,
+      "Who never heard my prayers?"
+
+    "Be patient child, in God believe,
+    "The good he can, and will relieve,
+      "To trust his power endeavour."
+    "O, mother! mother! all is vain,
+    "What trust can bring to life again?
+      "The past, is past for ever."
+
+    "Who knows, but that he yet survives;
+    "Perchance, far off from hence he lives,
+      "And thinks no more of you.
+    "Forget, forget, the faithless youth,
+    "Away with grief, your sorrow soothe,
+      "Since William proves untrue."
+
+    "Mother, all hope has fled my mind,
+    "The past, is past, our God's unkind;
+      "Why did he give me breath?
+    "Oh that this hated loathsome light
+    "Would fade for ever from my sight,
+      "Come, death, come, welcome death!"
+
+    "Indulgent Father, spare my child,
+    "Her agony hath made her wild,
+      "She knows not what she does.
+    "Daughter, forget thy earthly love,
+    "Look up to him who reigns above,
+      "Where joys succeed to woes."
+
+    "Mother what now are joys to me?
+    "With William, Hell a Heaven could be,
+      "Without him, Heaven a Hell.
+    "Fade, fade away, thou hated light,
+    "Death bear me hence to endless night,
+      "With love all hope farewell."
+
+    Thus rashly, Leonora strove
+    To doubt the truth of heavenly love.
+      She wept, and beat her breast;
+    She pray'd for death, until the moon
+    With all the stars with silence shone,
+      And sooth'd the world to rest.
+
+    When, hark! without, what sudden sound!
+    She hears a trampling o'er the ground,
+      Some horseman must be near!
+    He stops, he rings, Hark! as the noise
+    Dies soft away, a well-known voice
+      Thus greets her list'ning ear.
+
+    "Wake, Leonora;--dost thou sleep,
+    "Or thoughtless laugh, or constant weep,
+      "Is William welcome home?"
+    "Dear William, you!--return'd, and well!
+    "I've wak'd and wept--but why, ah! tell,
+      "So late--at night you come?"
+
+    "At midnight only dare we roam,
+    "For thee from Prague, though late, I come."
+      "For me!--stay here and rest;
+    "The wild winds whistle o'er the waste,
+    "Ah, dear William! why such haste?
+      "First warm thee in my breast."
+
+    "Let the winds whistle o'er the waste,
+    "My duty bids me be in haste;
+      "Quick, mount upon my steed:
+    "Let the winds whistle far and wide,
+    "Ere morn, two hundred leagues we'll ride,
+      "To reach our marriage bed."
+
+    "What, William! for a bridal room,
+    "Travel to night so far from home?"
+      "Leonora, 'tis decreed.
+    "Look round thee, love, the moon shines clear,
+    "The dead ride swiftly; never fear,
+      "We'll reach our marriage bed."
+
+    "Ah, William! whither would'st thou speed,
+    "What! where! this distant marriage bed?"
+      "Leonora, no delay.
+    "'Tis far from hence; still--cold--and small:
+    "Six planks, no more, compose it all;
+      "Our guests await, away!"
+
+    She lightly on the courser sprung,
+    And her white arms round William flung,
+      Like to a lily wreath.
+    In swiftest gallop off they go,
+    The stones and sparks around them throw,
+      And pant the way for breath.
+
+    The objects fly on every side,
+    The bridges thunder as they ride;
+      "Art thou my love afraid?
+    "Death swiftly rides, the moon shines clear,
+    "The dead doth Leonora fear?"
+      "Ah, no! why name the dead?"
+
+    Hark! as their rapid course they urge,
+    A passing bell, a solemn dirge;
+      Hoarse ravens join the strain.
+    They see a coffin on a bier,
+    A priest and mourners too appear,
+      Slow moving o'er the plain.
+
+    And sad was heard the funeral lay;
+    "What the Lord gives, he takes away;
+      "Life's but a fleeting shade.
+    "A tale that's told,--a flower that falls;
+    "Death, when the least expected, calls,
+      "And bears us to his bed."
+
+    "Forbear;"--imperious William cry'd
+    "I carry home, a beauteous bride,
+      "Come, to our marriage feast;
+    "Mourners, away, we want your song;
+    "And as we swiftly haste along,
+      "Give us your blessing, priest.
+
+    "Sing on, that life is like a shade;
+    "A tale that's told, or flowers which fade:
+      "Such strains will yield delight.
+    "And, when we to our chamber go,
+    "Bury your dead, with wail and woe;
+      "The service suits the night."
+
+    While William speaks, they silent stand,
+    Then run obedient to command,
+      But, on with furious bound,
+    The foaming courser forward flew,
+    Fire and stones his heels pursue,
+      Like whirlwinds dash'd around.
+
+    On right and left, on left and right,
+    Trees, hills, and towns flew past their sight,
+      As on they breathless prest;
+    "With the bright moon, like death we speed,
+    "Doth Leonora fear the dead?"
+      "Ah! leave the dead at rest."
+
+    Behold, where in the moon's pale beam,
+    As wheels and gibbets faintly gleam,
+      Join'd hand in hand, a crowd
+    Of imps and spectres hover nigh,
+    Or round a wasted wretch they fly,
+      When William calls aloud:
+
+    "Hither, ye airy rabble, come,
+    "And follow till I reach my home;
+      "We want a marriage dance."
+    As when the leaves on wither'd trees,
+    Are rustled by an edying breeze,
+      The muttering sprites advance.
+
+    But, soon with hurried steps, the crew
+    Rush'd prattling on, for William flew,
+      Clasp'd by the frighted fair:
+    Swifter than shafts, or than the wind,
+    While struck from earth fire flash'd behind,
+      Like lightnings through the air.
+
+    Not only flew the landscape by,
+    The clouds and stars appear'd to fly.
+      "Thus over hills and heath
+    "We ride like death; say, lovely maid,
+    "By moon-light dost thou fear the dead?"
+      "Ah! speak no more of death."
+
+    "The cock hath crow'd--Away! away!
+    "The sand ebbs out: I scent the day.
+      "On! on! away from here!
+    "Soon must our destin'd course be run,
+    "The dead ride swift,--hurrah! 'tis done,
+      "The marriage bed is near."
+
+    High grated iron doors, in vain
+    Barr'd their way.--With loosened rein
+      Whil'st William urg'd the steed,
+    He struck the bolts;--they open flew,
+    A churchyard drear appear'd in view;
+      Their path was o'er the dead.
+
+    As now, half veil'd by clouds, the moon
+    With feebler ray, o'er objects shone,
+      Where tombstones faint appear,
+    A grave new dug arrests the pair,
+    Cry'd William, and embrac'd the fair,
+      "Our marriage bed is here."
+
+    Scarce had he spoke, when, dire to tell,
+    His flesh like touchwood from him fell,
+      His eyes forsook his head.
+    A skull, and naked bones alone,
+    Supply the place of William gone,
+      'Twas Death that clasp'd the maid.
+
+    Wild, snorting fire, the courser rear'd,
+    As wrapp'd in smoke he disappear'd,
+      Poor Leonora fell;
+    The hideous spectres hover round,
+    Deep groans she hears from under ground,
+      And fiends ascend from hell.
+
+    They dance, and say, in dreadful howl,
+    "She asks no mercy for her soul;
+      "Her earthly course is done.
+    "When mortals, rash and impious! dare
+    "Contend with God, and court despair,
+      "We claim them as our own."
+
+    "Yet," thus was heard, in milder strains,
+    "Call on the Lord, while life remains,
+      "Unite your heart to his;
+    "When man repents and is resign'd,
+    "God loves to soothe his suff'ring mind,
+      "And grant him future bliss."
+
+    "We claim as ours, who impious dare
+    "Contend with God, and court despair;"
+      Again the spectres cry'd.
+    "Fate threats in vain, when man's resign'd,
+    "God loves to soothe the suff'ring mind,"
+      The gentler voice reply'd.
+
+    Leonora, e'er her sense was gone,
+    Thus faint exclaim'd,--"thy Will be done,
+      "Lord, let thy anger cease."
+    Soft on the wind was borne the pray'r;
+    The spectres vanish'd into air,
+      And all was hush'd in peace.
+
+    Now redd'ning tints the skies adorn,
+    And streaks of gold, proclaim the morn;
+      The night is chas'd away.
+    The sun ascends, new warmth he gives,
+    New hope, new joy; all nature lives,
+      And hails the glorious day.
+
+    No more are dreadful fantoms near;
+    Love and his smiling train, appear;
+      They cull each sweetest flow'r,
+    To scatter o'er the path of youth,
+    To deck the bridal bed, when Truth
+      And Beauty own their pow'r.
+
+    Ah,--could your pow'r avert the blast
+    Which threatens Bliss!--could passion last!
+      Ye dear enchanters tell;
+    What purer joy could Heaven bestow,
+    Than when with shar'd affection's glow
+      Our panting bosoms swell?
+
+    Sweet spirits wave the airy wand,
+    Two faithful hearts your care demand;
+      Lo! bounding o'er the plain,
+    Led by your charm, a youth returns;
+    With hope, his breast impatient burns;
+      Hope is not always vain.
+
+    "Wake, Leonora!--wake to Love!
+    For thee, his choicest wreath he wove;"
+      Death vainly aim'd his Dart.
+    The Past was all a dream; she woke--
+    He lives;--'twas William's self who spoke,
+      And clasp'd her to his Heart.

+                            (Matrimonial,)
+                        Attempted from Gessner.
+
+                    DAMON.
+
+      The gloomy tempest, Daphne, has blown o'er,
+    The thunder's awful voice is heard no more;
+    Tremble not then, my girl, the lightning's blaze
+    Through the dark cloud, no longer darts its rays.
+    Let us this arbour leave, the blue sky greet,
+    For, see, the sheep that sought this safe retreat,
+    Now from their fleeces shake the drops of rain,
+    And spread them o'er the bright'ning mead again,
+    Let us then leave this fav'rite shelt'ring bower,
+    To taste the beauties of this balmy hour;
+    To view the sunbeams gild the moisten'd ground,
+    And throw their rich and radiant glory round.
+      As from the grotto, hand in hand they past,
+    The gentle Daphne on her partner cast
+    Her swimming eyes, pressing his honest hand.
+
+                    DAPHNE.
+
+      How lovely looks the gay, the smiling land,
+    She said; while through the scattering cloud appears
+    The blue sky, dissipating all our fears.
+    The clouds, as through the air they quickly pass,
+    Hurry their shadows o'er the glist'ning grass.
+    See, Damon, now, o'er yonder hill they throw
+    Their shade o'er herds and cottages, and lo!
+    They're flown, and while o'er flowery meads they run,
+    The hill's again illumin'd by the sun.
+
+                    DAMON.
+
+      The rainbow view, from hill to hill expand,
+    Its radiant arches o'er the laughing land;
+    'Midst the grey cloud, a happy omen shows;
+    With peace and safety every colour glows:
+    The quiet valley smiles beneath its beams,
+    And owns its beauties in her gliding streams.
+    Daphne with gentle arm embrac'd her swain;
+    And cried;
+
+                    DAPHNE.
+
+      See balmy zephyrs breathe again;
+    More cheerful with the flowers they sport and play,
+    Dress'd by the drops of rain and light of day.
+    The butterflies, in richest coats array'd,
+    And fluttering insects joy to leave the shade,
+    Their velvet wings in quick vibrations shake,
+    While on the surface of the neighbouring lake,
+    Of shrubs and willows, wash'd from every stain,
+    The trembling branches glitter once again;
+    Again the peasant in its bosom sees
+    The heaven's blue concave and the spreading trees.
+
+                    DAMON.
+
+      Daphne, embrace me with thy circling arms,
+    What sacred joy my swelling bosom warms,
+    Where'er we turn what glories meet our eyes,
+    What unexhausted springs of rapture rise.
+    From the least plant to the bright star of day,
+    That kindles nature with its quickening ray,
+    All, all, our admiration ought to raise,
+    And tune our voices to the notes of praise!
+    How my heart swells, when from yon mountain's brow,
+    I view the spreading country stretch'd below.
+    Or, when amid the grass, in rural ease,
+    Laying my limbs beneath the branching trees,
+    I contemplate the various flowers and plants,
+    And their minutely fine inhabitants.
+    Or when amid the solemn hours of night,
+    I view the stars adorn the heavens with light;
+    The grateful changes of the seasons trace,
+    The progress of the vegetable race.
+    When all these wonders thro' my senses roll,
+    They fill with purest awe my swelling soul;
+    Thoughts urge on thoughts in quick successive birth,
+    Weeping, I kneel to him who made the earth;
+    To him, my admiration I confess,
+    Father of light, of life, of every bliss:
+    Nought then my soul with equal joy can move,
+    Save the delight to know my Daphne's love.
+
+                    DAPHNE.
+
+      Damon, around me also wonders rise,
+    And fill my bosom with a sweet surprize.
+    Oh let us then, lock'd in a soft embrace,
+    When Morn approaching lifts her ruddy face,
+    When gentle Eve her milder beauties shows,
+    Or moonlight through the air its radiance throws,
+    Thus let our thoughts upon such objects rest,
+    Whilst to each others beating bosoms prest,
+    In broken accents we our wonder own,
+    And turn our minds tow'rds heaven's eternal throne.
+    How inexpressible is the delight,
+    When transports such as these, with tend'rest love unite.

+                           THE FLY, A FABLE.
+                      From the German of Gellert.
+
+    That insects think, as well as speak,
+    Needs, at this day, small eloquence to show;
+    Esop, whom even children prize in Greek,
+    Affirm'd as much, some thousand years ago.
+    Fontaine, in French, asserted just the same;
+    Who then shall dare deny the reptile claim
+    To faculties, the world esteems so low,
+    As scarce to notice, if you think or no?
+
+      Within a temple, where the builder's art,
+    Grandeur and elegance at once had join'd;
+    While due proportion, reign'd in every part,
+    And simple grace, with solid strength combin'd.
+    In such a temple's wall, sat perch'd on high,
+    A solemn, thoughtful, philosophic fly.
+    For flies, an air so grave, of wisdom take,
+    And on one leg, the head will often hold,
+    And into wrinkles, oft the forehead fold,
+    Only because they deep reflection's make;
+    And to the bottom dive to know,
+    The source of all things here below.
+
+    Thus then, involv'd in contemplation deep,
+    With half a dozen wrinkles on his brow,
+    This fly began, around himself to peep,
+    And question whence the building rose, and how?
+    No _maker_ of this work can I perceive,
+    Quoth he--and that there is one, scarce believe;
+    For who should such a maker be?
+      "Art," said a spider sage. "Art built the work you see,
+    For, wheresoever turns your eye,
+    Fix'd laws, and order you descry;
+    And hence, a fair conclusion grows,
+    That from the hand of Art, the building rose."
+      At this the fly, in his conceptions proud,
+    Laugh'd out aloud,
+    And with a sneer of scorn, replied--
+      "Most learned sir, I oft have tried,
+    At this same Art to get a sight,
+    But never on him yet could light;
+    And now, the more I think, the more I find,
+    Your Art is but a fiction of the mind.
+      Now learn from me how this same temple grew:
+    Once on a time, it so by chance befel
+    That pebbles numberless together flew,
+    And settling, form'd this hollow shell,
+    Where you, and I, friend spider, dwell;
+    Say, what can be more evidently true?"
+      A fly, for such a system, we forgive;
+    But if great geniuses should live,
+    Who deem this world's well-order'd frame,
+    Sprung from blind accident alone,
+    And chance, as author of their lives proclaim,
+    Rather than bow to God's eternal throne,
+    The sole excuse a creed, like this admits,
+    Is, that its votaries have lost their wits.

+                             THE SUICIDE.
+                      From the German of Gellert.
+
+    Oh, youth, from what I now relate,
+      While gentle tears bedew your eyes,
+    Lament the lover's hapless fate,
+      And learn, what woes from love arise.
+
+    A youth of exemplary worth,
+      The comfort of his aged sire,
+    Whose virtues, early bursting forth,
+      The fairest hopes might well inspire.
+
+    By beauty's potent charms subdued,
+      For Chloe felt a tender pain;
+    Her equal love with ardour sued,
+      But found his fond entreaties vain.
+
+    While at her feet he pleads his flame,

+    Yes! cried he, yes! insulting dame,

+                               A Fable.
+
+    A bear, who long had danced for bread,
+    One morning from his keeper fled;
+    Back to his native woods retreated,
+    And, by his brother brutes, was kindly greeted:
+    Their joy to see him made the forest roar,
+    They lick'd his chaps, they stroak'd him with the paw;
+    And when each bear his neighbour saw,
+    Their news was, So!--Our Bruin's here once more.
+      Straightway the travell'd youth went on
+    All his adventures to relate,
+    And whatsoever he had seen, or done,
+    Or heard, in foreign parts to state.
+    And when it came the turn to tell
+    His dancing deeds, to capering he fell,
+    As though his former master's chain
+    Were fasten'd round his neck again.
+
+      Bears of the woods are seldom trained to dance;
+    Yet, seeing Bruin throw his limbs about,
+    The fancy seiz'd them all, themselves to prance,
+    And strive, with clumsy aim, his motions to make out.
+
+      Scarce one of all the brood but quickly trip'd,
+    And stumbling, staggering, fell his whole length down;
+    The more they fail'd, the brisker Bruin skip'd,
+    To show their skill at fault and prove his own.
+    But now, their fury kindles at his play;
+    Away! Begone, you tumbling fool! they bawl;
+    Must you, forsooth, be wiser than us all?
+    And straight, with one accord, they hooted him away.
+
+    Your neighbour's hatred would you shun?
+    His talents to surpass beware!
+    And still the higher your attainments run,
+    Conceal them still with greater care.
+    For though, at first, the voice of fame
+    Shall sound your praises to the sky:
+    Anon shall Envy blast your name,
+    And turn your fairest arts to crimes of deepest dye.

+                           From the German.
+
+    Say, who could mope in joyless plight,
+      While youth and spring bedeck the scene,
+    And scorn the profer'd gay delight,
+      With thankless heart and frowning mien?
+    See Joy with becks and smiles appear,
+      While roses strew the devious way;
+    The feast of life she bids us share,
+      Where'er our pilgrim footsteps stray.
+
+    And still the grove is cool and green,
+      And clear the bubbling fountain flows,
+    Still shines the night's resplendent queen,
+      As erst in Paradise she rose:
+    The grapes their purple nectar pour,
+      To 'suage the heart that griefs oppress;
+    And still the lonely ev'ning bow'r
+      Invites and screens the stolen kiss.
+
+    Still Philomela's melting strain,
+      Responsive to the dying gale,
+    Beguiles the bosom's throbbing pain,
+      And sweetly charms the list'ning vale;
+    Creation's scene expanded lies:--
+      Blest scene! how wond'rous bright and fair!
+    Till Death's cold hand shall close my eyes,
+      Let me the lavish'd bounties share!

+Sir,
+
+As I perceive your plan, like that of Coleman and Thornton, in the
+"Connoisseur," and like that of your relation, _Solomon_ Saunter, in
+"Literary Leisure," admits Poetry as well as Prose, which one may feed
+upon alternately, as we eat bread and cheese, I send you a

+
+      I ask'd my fair, one happy day,
+      What should I call her in my lay,
+    By what sweet name, from Rome or Greece,
+      Iphigenia, Clelia, Chloris,
+      Laura, Lesbia, Delia, Doris,
+    Dorimene or Lucrece?
+
+      Ah, replied my gentle fair,
+      Beloved, what are names but air?
+    Take thou whatever suits the line,
+      Clelia, Iphigenia, Chloris,
+      Laura, Lesbia, Delia, Doris--
+    But don't forget to call me--_thine_.

+                Translated from the French of Gessner.
+
+      It flies! the vessel flies, that bears away
+    To distant shores my Daphne, fair as May.
+    Guard her, ye loves! be lull'd each ruder gale;
+    Let Zephyrs only fill the swelling sail;
+    Ye waves flow gently by the vessel's side,
+    While pensive she surveys you idly glide;
+    Ah! softly glide, prolong her reverie,
+    For then, ye Gods! 'tis then she thinks of me.
+    When near the nodding groves that shade the shore,
+    To her, ye birds, your sweetest warbling pour;
+    No sounds be heard, but such as gently sooth,
+    And be, O sea, thy azure surface smooth.
+    Ne'er since thy daughters sought their liquid caves,
+    A lovelier charge, was trusted to thy waves.
+    Her clear, her bright unsullied beauty shews
+    The lilly's white, and freshness of the rose.
+    Not Venus had more charms, more beauteous bloom,
+    When, rising from the sea's resplendent foam,
+    She smiling mounted first her silver car,
+    And shone effulgent as the morning star.
+    The enchanted Tritons left their noisy sport,
+    And nymphs cerulian in their crystal court;
+    Regardless of their frowns, or jealous smiles,
+    While beauty's queen each eager eye beguiles.
+    They gaze, and held in most delightful trance,
+    Pursue her moving o'er the smooth expanse.

+      And all creation's joys again,
+    To us, in streams renewed, run.
+

+    Gentle, smiling, Zephyrs, wander,
+      Thro' the groves of verdant green;
+    Toying with the lilac yonder--
+      Here, with the rose of blooming mien.

+    Humming bees, on wafer pinions,
+      Careful, thro' the blossoms roam:

+      The nectar tribute gather home.
+
+    In th'embroider'd violet vale,
+      Love, attended by the Graces,
+    Tells his soft bewitching tale,
+      While blushing fair ones hide their faces.

+    All is life--all animation:

+
+                   PASSAGE FROM KLOPSTOCK'S MESSIAH.
+
+    So at the midnight hour draws nigh to the slumbering city
+    Pestilence. Couch'd on his broad spread wings lurks under the rampart
+    Death, bale-breathing. As yet unalarmed are the peaceable dwellers;
+    Close to his nightly-lamp the sage yet watches; and high friends
+    Over wine not unhallow'd, in shelter of odorous bowers,
+    Talk of the soul and of friendship, and weigh their immortal duration.
+    But too soon shall frightful Death, in a day of affliction
+    Pouncing over them, over them spread; in a day of moaning and
+         anguish....
+    When with wringing of hands the bride for the bridegroom loud wails;
+    When, now of all her children bereft, the desperate mother
+    Furious curses the day on which she bore, and was born ... when
+    Weary with hollower eye, amid the carcases totter
+    Even the buriers ... till the sent Death-angel, descending,
+    Thoughtful on thunder-clouds, beholds all lonesome and silent,
+    Gazes the wide desolation, and long broods over the graves, fixt.
+
+"Perhaps some other writer will throw this fine picture into blank
+verse so well, as to convince the public, that the beauties of
+Klopstock can be naturalized without strangeness, and his
+peculiarities retained without affectation; that quaintness, the
+unavoidable companion of neologism, is as needless to genius, as
+hostile to grace; the hexameter, until it is familiar, must repel,
+and, when it is familiar, may annoy; that it wants a musical
+orderliness of sound; and that its cantering capricious movement
+opposes the grave march of solemn majesty, and better suits the
+ordinary scenery of Theocritus than the empyreal visions of
+Klopstock."

+                     From the German of Matthison.
+
+    Whene'er day-light's parting gleam
+      A smiling form salutes my love,
+    And loiters near the murm'ring stream,
+      And glides beneath the conscious grove:
+    Ah! then my Henry's spirit see:
+    Soft joy and peace it brings to thee.
+
+    And when at moon-light's sober ray
+      Thou dream'st perchance of love and me,
+    As thro' the pines the breezes play,
+      And whisper dying melody--
+    When tender bodings prompt the sigh--
+    Thy Henry's spirit hovers nigh.
+
+    When o'er the mind soft musings steal,
+      As thou the pleasing past hast scann'd;
+    Should'st thou a gentle pressure feel,
+      Like zephyr's kiss o'er lip and hand;--
+    And should the glimmering taper fade--
+    Then near thee 'bides thy lover's shade.
+
+    And when at midnights' solemn tide,
+      As soft the rolling planets shine--
+    Like Aeol's harp, thy couch beside,
+      Thou hear'st the words--'forever thine!'
+    Then slumber sweet, my spirit's there,
+    And peace and joy it brings my fair.

+        Swain how short is beauty's bloom,

+
+    Whither roves the tuneful swain
+      Who of rural pleasures,
+    Rose and vi'let, rill and plain,
+      Sung in deftest measures?

+It is but seldom that the Muses of the North sing more sweetly than in

+
+                        SONG--FROM THE GERMAN.
+
+    Scarce sixteen summers had I seen,
+      And rov'd my native bow'rs;
+    Nor stray'd my thoughts beyond the green,
+      Bedew'd with shrubs and flow'rs.
+
+    When late a stranger youth appear'd;
+      I neither wish'd nor sought him;
+    He came, but whence I never heard,
+      And spake what love had taught him.
+
+    His hair in graceful ringlets play'd,
+      All eyes are charm'd that view them,
+    And o'er his comely shoulders stray'd,
+      Where wanton zephyrs blew them.
+
+    His speaking eye of azure hue
+      Seem'd ever softly suing,
+    And such an eye, so clear and blue,
+      Ne'er shone for maid's undoing.
+
+    His face was fair, his cheek was red,
+      With blushes ever burning;
+    And all he spoke was deftly said,
+      Though far beyond my learning.
+
+    Where'er I stray'd, the youth was nigh,
+      His look soft sorrows speaking;
+    Sweet maid! he'd say, then gaze and sigh,
+      As if his heart were breaking.
+
+    And once, as low his head he hung,
+      I fain would ask the meaning;
+    When round my neck his arms he flung,
+      Soft tears his grief explaining.
+
+    Such freedom ne'er was ta'en till now,
+      And now 'twas unoffending;
+    Shame spread my cheek with ruddy glow,
+      My eyes kept downward bending.
+
+    Nor aught I spoke, my looks he read,
+      As if with anger burning;
+    No--not one word--away he sped,
+      Ah! would he were returning.

+    Ah! who like me can spread the net?
+    Or tune the merry flageolet?
+
+    Then why--O why should I repine,
+    Since all the roving birds are mine?
+      The thrush and linnet in the vale,
+    The sweet sequester'd nightingale,
+    The bulfinch, wren, and wood-lark, all
+    Obey my summons when I call:
+    O! could I form some cunning snare
+    To catch the coy, coquetting fair,
+    In _Cupid's_ filmy web so fine,
+    The pretty girls should all be mine!
+
+      When all were mine--among the rest,
+    I'd choose the Lass I lik'd the best;
+    And should my charming mate be kind;
+    And smile, and kiss me to my mind,
+    With her I'd tie the nuptial knot,
+    Make _Hymen's_ cage of my poor cot,
+    And love away this fleeting life,
+    Like Robin Redbreast and his wife!

+
+In the third number[33] of the Port Folio we inserted a very humorous

+criticks in the German Language that the original is eminently
+beautiful. Its merit was once so highly appreciated in England that a
+host of translators started at once in the race for public favor. The
+ensuing version which is, we believe, by Sir Walter Scott, Esqr., well
+deserves a place in this journal.

+                        The following charming

+             is translated from the German by Mr. Herbert.
+
+     "Hail, orient sun, auspicious light!
+      Hail, new-born orb of day!
+    Lo, from behind the wood-crown'd height,
+      Breaks forth thy glittering ray.
+    Behold it sparkle in the stream,
+      And on the dew drop shine!
+    O, may sweet joy's enlivening beam
+      Mix his pure rays with thine!
+    The Zephyrs now, with frolic wing,
+      Their rosy beds forsake;
+    And, shedding round the sweets of spring,
+      Their drowsy comrades wake.
+    Soft sleep and all his airy forms
+      Fly from the dawning day:
+    Like little loves O may their swarms
+      On Chloe's bosom play!
+    Ye Zephyrs haste; from every flower
+      The sweetest perfumes take;
+    And bear them hence to Chloe's bower;
+      For soon the maid must wake!
+    And, hovering round her fragrant bed,
+      In breezes call my fair;
+    Go, frolic round her graceful head,
+      And scent her golden hair!
+    Then gently whisper in her ear,
+      That ere the sun gan rise,
+    By the soft murmuring fountain here
+      I breath'd her name in sighs."

+                     THE POEM OF HALLER VERSIFIED.
+                    By HENRY JAMES PYE, Esq., P.L.
+
+    Ah! woods forever dear! whose branches spread
+    Their verdant arch o'er Hasel's breezy head,
+    When shall I once again, supinely laid,
+    Hear Philomela charm your list'ning shade?
+    When shall I stretch my careless limbs again,
+    Where, gently rising from the velvet plain,
+    O'er the green hills, in easy curve that bend,
+    The mossy carpet Nature's hands extend?
+    Where all is silent! save the gales that move
+    The leafy umbrage of the whisp'ring grove;
+    Or the soft murmurs of the rivulet's wave,
+    Whose chearing streams the lonely meadows lave.
+
+      O Heav'n! when shall once more these eyes be cast
+    On scenes where all my spring of life was pass'd;
+    Where, oft responsive to the falling rill,
+    Sylvia and love my artless lays would fill?
+    While Zephyr's fragrant breeze, soft breathing, stole
+    A pleasing sadness o'er my pensive soul:
+    Care, and her ghastly train, were far away;     }
+    While calm, beneath the sheltering woods I lay  }
+    Mid shades, impervious to the beams of day.     }
+
+    Here--sad reverse!--from scenes of pleasure far,
+    I wage with sorrow unremitting war:
+    Oppress'd with grief, my ling'ring moments flow,
+    Nor aught of joy, or aught of quiet, know.
+    Far from the scenes that gave my being birth,
+    From parents far, an outcast of the earth!
+    In youth's warm hours, from each restriction free,
+    Left to myself in dangerous liberty.
+
+      Ah! scenes of earthly joy! ah, much-lov'd shades!
+    Soon may my footsteps tread your vernal glades.
+    Ah! should kind Heav'n permit me to explore
+    Your seats of still tranquillity once more!
+    E'en now to Fancy's visionary eye,
+    Hope shews the flattering hour of transport nigh,
+    Blue shines the aether, when the storm is past;
+    And calm repose succeeds to sorrow's blast.
+    Flourished, ye scenes of every new delight!
+    Wave wide your branches to my raptur'd sight!
+    While, ne'er to roam again, my wearied feet
+    Seek the kind refuge of your calm retreat.
+
+      Now pale disease shoots thro' my languid frame,
+    And checks the zeal for wisdom and for fame.
+    Now droops fond hope, by Disappointment cross'd;
+    Chill'd by neglect, each sanguine wish is lost.
+    O'er the weak mound stern Ocean's billows ride,
+    And waft destruction in with every tide;
+    While Mars, descending from his crimson car,
+    Fans with fierce hands the kindling flames of war.
+
+      Her gentle aid let Consolation lend;
+    All human evils hasten to their end.
+    The storm abates at every gust it blows;
+    Past ills enhance the comforts of repose.
+    He who ne'er felt the pressure of distress,
+    Ne'er felt returning pleasure's keen excess.
+    Time who Affliction bore on rapid wing,
+    My panting heart to happiness may bring;
+    I, on my native hills, may yet inhale
+    The purer influence of the ambient gale.

+    O'er the wood-top'd mountain borne,

+    Now o'er babbling brooks it beams;

+      Wakes the world anew.
+    Zephyrs first, o'er flowers that slumber'd,
+      Quit their couch, and play;
+    Breathe o'er flowers in sighs unnumber'd,
+      Breathe the scent of day.
+    Fancy now her reign gives o'er,
+      Every vision flies;
+    Chloe's cheek is wan no more,
+      Cupids round it rise.
+    Hasten, Zephyr, waft from roses
+      All their loveliest bloom!
+    Haste where Chloe now reposes,
+      Wake her from her tomb!
+    To the fairest's couch repair,
+      Wanton round her pillow;
+    O'er her lip and bosom fair
+      Bathe thy blandest billow!
+    She wakes the whispers to the gale,
+      Wakes from her morning dream;
+    Whilst so the stream, and thro' the vale,
+      I er'st have breathed her name.

+    If hap'ly hard fate should you e'er from me sever,
+      How drearily mournful would be my sad lot,
+    In sorrow's dark path I would wander forever,
+      Nor smile more with joy, then "forget me not."
+
+    If in the fresh bloom of my life's early blossom,
+      To leave you my dear, and this world, be my lot,
+    Thine be the last sigh that escapes from my bosom,
+      Then think how I love you; "O! forget me not."
+
+    Yet tho' we now part, in the bless'd realms above,
+      We will meet soon again, free from life's woeful lot;
+    We will meet to dear joy, we will meet to sweet love,
+      Then no more need I say "O! forget me not."

+
+                     TRANSLATION FROM THE GERMAN.
+
+Whoever has perused the prophetick metrical compositions of Van Vander
+Horderclogeth must surely remember the poem on the 3697 fol. of which
+the following is a translation; it commences thus--
+
+         Vrom Grouter gruder grout gropstock, Zordur zoop, &c.
+
+    All gloomy and sorrowful Beelzebub sat,
+      With his imps and his devils around,
+    When the thundering knocker of Hell's outer grate
+    Rang a peal so terrifick and loud on the gate,
+      That all Erebus echoed the sound.
+
+    Full swift to the portal the young devils flew,
+      And the long gloomy passage unbarr'd;
+    When a lanthorn-jaw'd monster stood forth to their view,
+    So meagre his figure, so pale was his hue,
+      That the devils all trembled and star'd.
+
+    All green were his eyes in their sockets decay'd,
+      His nose was projecting and wide,
+    In a dusty frock-coat was his carcase array'd,
+    On his scull he a three-corner'd scraper display'd,
+      And two volumes[34] he bore at his side.
+
+    So foul were his breath and the words that he said,
+      That his teeth had long rotted away--
+    And now to the devils a signal he made,
+    To show him their master, the devils obey'd,
+      And brought him where Beelzebub lay.
+
+    Old Beelzebub rose, as the monster came in,
+      And stood for a moment in dread,
+    For they look'd like each other enough to be kin,
+    Save that one had whole feet and a light-colour'd skin,
+      And the other had horns on his head.
+
+    'Whence art thou?' said Beelzebub; 'stranger, proclaim,
+      For if Satan can rightly divine,
+    Thou art surely some hero of throat-cutting fame,
+    For ne'er to these regions a spirit there came,
+      With figure so hellish as thine.'
+
+    'No throats have I cut,' the lank goblin replied,
+      With voice that was hollow and shrill;
+    'I have cheated, and bullied, and swindled, and lied,
+    Sedition and falsehood I've spread far and wide,
+      And in mischief I never was still.
+
+    'My name is ---- ----;' no sooner said he,
+      Than Beelzebub rose with a grin;
+    He embrac'd the foul monster, who also display'd
+    His joy at the meeting; and both of them made
+      All Hell echo round with their din.

+I publish the following new translation of "The Wild Hunter," first on
+account of its superiority over every other, and secondly because it
+is my intention in a future number to notice particularly this _chef
+d'oeuvre_ of the German poet.
+
+                           THE WILD HUNTER.
+
+    Loud, loud the baron winds his horn;
+      And, see, a lordly train
+    On horse, on foot, with deafening din,
+      Comes scouring o'er the plain.
+
+    O'er heath, o'er field, the yelping pack
+      Dash swift, from couples freed;
+    O'er heath, o'er field, close on their track,
+      Loud neighs the fiery steed.
+
+    And now the Sabbath's holy dawn
+      Beam'd high with purple ray,
+    And bright each hallowed temple's dome
+      Reflected back the day.
+
+    Now deep and clear the pealing bells
+      Struck on the list'ning ear,
+    And heaven-ward rose from many a voice
+      The hymn of praise and prayer.
+
+    Swift, swift along the crossway, still
+      They speed with eager cry:
+    See! right and left, two horsemen strange
+      Their rapid coursers ply.
+
+    Who were the horsemen right and left?
+      That may I guess full well:
+    Who were the horsemen right and left?
+      That may I never tell.
+
+    The right, of fair and beauteous mien,
+      A milk-white steed bestrode;
+    Mild as the vernal skies, his face
+      With heavenly radiance glow'd.
+
+    The left spurr'd fast his fiery barb,
+      Red as the furnace flame;
+    Sullen he loured, and from his eyes
+      The death-like lightning came.
+
+    'Right welcome to our noble sport;'
+      The baron greets them fair;
+    'For well I wot ye hold it good
+      To banish moping care.
+
+    'No pleasure equal to the chase,
+      Or earth, or heaven can yield;'
+    He spoke,--he waved his cap in air,
+      And foremost rushed afield.
+
+    'Turn thee!' the milder horseman cries;
+      'Turn thee from horns and hounds!
+    Hear'st not the bells, hear'st not the quire,
+      Mingle their sacred sounds?
+
+    'They drown the clamor of the chase;
+      Oh! hunt not then to-day,
+    Nor let a fiend's advice destroy
+      Thy better angel's sway.'
+
+    'Hunt on, hunt on,' his comrade cries,
+      'Nor heed yon dotard's spell;
+    What is the bawling quire to us?
+      Or what the jangling bell?
+
+    'Well may the chase delight thee more;
+      And well may'st learn from me,
+    How brave, how princely is our sport,
+      From bigot terrors free.'
+
+    'Well said! well said! in thee I own
+      A hero's kindled fire;
+    These pious fool'ries move not us,
+      We reck nor priest, nor quire.
+
+    'And thou, believe me, saintlike dolt,
+      Thy bigot rage is vain;
+    From prayers and beadrolls, what delight
+      Can sportsmen hope to gain?'
+
+    Still hurry, hurry, on they speed
+      O'er valley, hill and plain;
+    And ever at the baron's side
+      Attend the horsemen twain.
+
+    See, panting, see, a milk-white hart
+      Up-springs from yonder thorn:
+    'Now swiftly ply both horse and foot;
+      Now louder wind the horn!'
+
+    See, falls a huntsman! see, his limbs
+      The pangs of death distort!
+    'Lay there and rot: no caitiff's death
+      Shall mar our princely sport.'
+
+    Light bounds with deftest speed the hart,
+      Wide o'er the country borne;
+    Now closer prest a refuge seeks
+      Where waves the ripening corn.
+
+    See, the poor owner of the field
+      Approach with tearful eyes;
+    'O pity, pity, good my lords!'
+      Alas! in vain he cries.
+
+    'O spare what little store the poor
+      By bitter sweat can earn!'
+    Now soft the milder horseman warns
+      The baron to return.
+
+    Not so persuades his stern compeer,
+      Best pleas'd with darkest deeds;
+    Tis his to sway the baron's heart,
+      Reckless what mercy pleads.
+
+    'Away!' the imperious noble cries;
+      'Away, and leave us free!
+    Off! or by all the powers of hell,
+      Thou too shalt hunted be!
+
+    'Here, fellows! let this villain prove
+      My threats were not in vain:
+    Loud lash around his piteous face
+      The whips of all my train.'
+
+    Tis said, tis done: swift o'er the fence
+      The baron foremost springs;
+    Swift follow hound, and horse, and man,
+      And loud the welkin rings.
+
+    Loud rings the welkin with their shouts,
+      While man, and horse, and hound,
+    Ruthless tread down each ripening ear,
+      Wide o'er the smoking ground.
+
+    O'er heath and field, o'er hill and dale,
+      Scared by the approaching cries,
+    Still close pursued, yet still unreach'd,
+      Their destin'd victim flies.
+
+    Now mid the lowing herds that graze
+      Along yon verdant plain,
+    He hopes, concealed from every eye,
+      A safe retreat to gain.
+
+    In vain, for now the savage train
+      Press ravening on his heels:
+    See, prostrate at the baron's feet
+      The affrighted herdsman kneels.
+
+    Fear for the safety of his charge
+      Inspires his faltering tongue;
+    'O spare,' he cries, 'these harmless beasts,
+      Nor work an orphan's wrong.
+
+    'Think, here thy fury would destroy
+      A friendless widow's all!'
+    He spoke:--the gentle stranger strove
+      To enforce soft pity's call.
+
+    Not so persuades his sullen frere,
+      But pleas'd with darkest deeds;
+    Tis his to sway the baron's heart,
+      Reckless what mercy pleads.
+
+    'Away, audacious hound!' he cries;
+      'Twould do my heart's-blood good,
+    Might I but see thee transform'd to beasts
+      Thee and thy beggar brood.
+
+    'Then, to the very gates of heaven,
+      Who dare to say me nay!
+    With joy I'd hunt the losel fry;
+      Come fellows, no delay!'
+
+    See, far and wide the murderous throng
+      Deal many a deadly wound;
+    Mid slaughter'd numbers, see, the hart
+      Sinks bleeding on the ground.
+
+    Yet still he summons all his strength
+      For one poor effort more,
+    Staggering he flies; his silver sides
+      Drop mingled sweat and gore.
+
+    And now he seeks a last retreat
+      Deep in the darkling dell,
+    Where stands, amidst embowering oaks,
+      A hermit's holy cell.
+
+    E'en here the madly eager train
+      Rush swift with impious rage,
+    When, lo! persuasion on his tongue,
+      Steps forth the reverend sage.
+
+    'O cease thy chase! nor thus invade
+      Religion's free abode;
+    For know, the tortur'd creature's groans
+      E'en now have reach'd his god.
+
+    'They cry at heaven's high mercy seat,
+      For vengeance on thy head;
+    O turn, repentant turn, ere yet
+      The avenging bolt is sped.'
+
+    Once more religion's cause in vain
+      The gentle stranger pleads;
+    Once more, alas! his sullen frere
+      A willing victim leads.
+
+    'Dash on!' the harden'd sinner cries;
+      'Shalt thou disturb our sport?
+    No! boldly would I urge the chase
+      In heaven's own inmost court.
+
+    'What reck I then thy pious rage?
+      No mortal man I fear:
+    Not god in all his terrors arm'd
+      Should stay my fix'd career.'
+
+    He cracks his whip, he winds his horn,
+      He calls his vassal-crew;
+    Lo! horse and hound, and sage and cell,
+      All vanish from his view.
+
+    All, all, are gone!--no single rack
+      His eager eye can trace;
+    And silence, still as death, has hush'd
+      The clamors of the chase.
+
+    In vain he spurs his courser's sides,
+      Nor back nor forward borne;
+    He winds his horn, he calls aloud,
+      But hears no sound return.
+
+    And now inclos'd in deepest night,
+      Dark as the silent grave,
+    He hears the sullen tempest roar,
+      As roars the distant wave.
+
+    Loud and louder still the storm
+      Howls through the troubled air;
+    Ten thousand thunders from on high
+      The voice of judgment bear.
+
+    Accursed before god and man,
+      Unmoved by threat or prayer;
+    Creator, nor created, aught
+      Thy frantic rage would spare.
+
+    'Think not in vain creation's lord
+      Has heard his creature's groan;
+    E'en now the torch of vengeance flames
+      High by his awful throne.
+
+    'Now, hear thy doom! to aftertimes
+      A dread example given,
+    For ever urge thy wild career,
+      By fiendish hell-hounds driven.'
+
+    The voice had ceased; the sulphurous flash
+      Shot swift from either pole;
+    Sore shook the grove; cold horror seized
+      The trembling miscreant's soul.
+
+    Again the rising tempest roars,
+      Again the lightnings play;
+    And every limb, and every nerve
+      Is frozen with dismay.
+
+    He sees a giant's swarthy arm
+      Start from the yawning ground;
+    He feels a demon grasp his head,
+      And rudely wrench it round.
+
+    In torrents now from every side,
+      Pours fast a fiery flood;
+    On each o'erwhelming wave upborne,
+      Loud howls the hellish brood.
+
+    Sullen and grisly gleams the light,
+      Now red, now green, now blue;
+    Whilst o'er the gulf the fiendish train
+      Their destined prey pursue.
+
+    In vain he shrieks with wild despair,
+      In vain he strives to fly;
+    Still at his back the hell-born crew
+      Their cursed business ply.
+
+    By day, full many a fathom deep
+      Below earth's smiling face;
+    By night, high through the troubled air,
+      They speed their endless chase.
+
+    In vain to turn his eyes aside
+      He strives with wild affright;
+    So never may those maddening scenes
+      Escape his tortured sight.
+
+    Still must he see those dogs of hell
+      Close hovering on his track;
+    Still must he see the avenging scourge
+      Uplighted at his back.
+
+    Now this is the wild baron's hunt;
+      And many a village youth,
+    And many a sportsman (dare they speak)
+      Could vouch the awful truth.
+
+    For oft benighted midst the wilds
+      The fiendish troop they hear,
+    Now shrieking shrill, now cursing loud,
+      Come thundering through the air.
+
+    No hand shall stay those dogs of hell
+      Or quench that sea of fire,
+    Till god's own dreadful day of doom
+      Shall bid the world expire!

+
+                           A _Pindaric_ Ode.
+
+    'Tis he! 'tis he! I hear him from afar,
+    Thundering like the God of War;
+    To Rosbach's plains, in dread array,
+    The god-like hero bends his way!
+    Hark! the rattling rumbling noise of drums!
+        He comes, he comes!
+    See, _Prussia's_ awful king's at hand!
+    He speaks, he speaks! attentive stand!
+    His well known voice, the gallant warriours hear,
+    And bend their wide-extended wings both front and rear,
+        Which half enclose him round.
+    Stern as the face of war, and yet serene,  }
+    With grace attractive, and majestic mein,  }
+    Was the mighty monarch seen.               }
+    With martial rage each bosom glow'd,
+    While from his lips those moving accents flow'd--
+      'My valiant troops, my dear and trusty friends,
+    'The hour at last is come, in which depends
+    'What ever is, or should to us be dear,
+    'Upon the sword-unsheath'd, and glitt'ring spear.
+    'For PROTESTANTS-_unborn_ you fight: Your cause is good,
+    'Which you have yet maintain'd, thro' seas of richest blood.
+    'And, bear me witness, that your Prince thus far,
+    'Hath shar'd each danger in this glorious war;
+    'Nor shall it e'er by envious[35] tongue be told
+    'Your leader shrunk from watching, hunger, cold,
+    'And left the burden to his vet'rans bold
+        'Oh! no; my faithful bands!
+        'With you your FRED'RICK stands,
+    'For _Freedom_ ready to impart
+    'Those crimson drops that roll around his heart'--
+    He spoke: And acclamations loud,
+    Like thunder bursting from a cloud,
+    Struck th' approaching foe with awe;
+        And the madly-floating sound
+        Fill'd the wide extended plains around,
+          With the wild _Huzza_.
+        Each warrior, big with rage,
+        Stands panting to engage;
+    And now the voice of furious Joy
+    Again bursts forth into the vaulted sky;
+    And the rude rocks rebound
+    The warlike trumpet's solemn sound--
+        "Destroy! destroy! destroy!"
+      As water roaring from a mountain's side
+    Tears down whole rocks with its impetuous tide;
+    And rolling through the plains with furious sweep, }
+    Bears off the shepherd's cottage, and his sheep,   }
+    Into the surging of th' astonish'd deep;           }
+        So each band,
+        Sword in hand,
+        Pour'd on the foe;
+        Thund'ring, flashing,
+        Fiercely clashing
+        Arms on Arms--
+        Glory's Charms,
+        Fir'd each breast with martial glow,
+    Ah, see what piteous scenes appear.
+      When warriors yield their breath;
+    Now dying groans invade the ear,
+      They sink in glorious death.
+    _Prussian_ rage the foe confounds,
+      Some stagger, fall, are slain,
+    Some cover'd o'er with blood and wounds,
+      Lie weltring on the plain,
+        Surpriz'd and confounded,
+        With horror surrounded,
+        And pale fear half dead,
+        They're vanquish'd and fled.
+      Hark! hark! the trumpet's sound
+      A shout for _Victory_ spreads around;
+        And _Victory_ the vales,
+        And _Victory_ the dales,
+      And _Victory_ the tufted hills rebound!
+      When muttering thunders roll along the sky.
+    You may have seen the winged lightnings fly;
+    Quick as thought, the flashes glance
+    Thro' th' immensurable wide expanse--
+    So nimble warriours flew,
+    When they gave their foes the rout,
+    With this universal shout,
+        "Pursue! pursue! pursue!"
+    O'er carcasses of heroes slain,
+    The mighty victors rode,
+    Where shiver'd armour strew'd the plain
+    Empurpled o'er with blood;
+    Now thund'ring on their broken rear,
+    He spreads destruction, death and fear,
+    Till day forsakes him, and the sullen night,
+    In thickest gloom of hov'ring shades, descends
+    To the assistance of her ghastly friends,
+    And screens the _vanquish'd_ from the _victor's_ sight!

+
+                   ODE ON THE LATE VICTORY OBTAINED
+                        BY THE KING OF PRUSSIA,
+                   By the same [_i. e._, Annandius].
+
+                    I.
+
+    Hail matchless monarch! prince renown'd!
+    Long be thy head with laurels crown'd,
+      By victories obtained!
+    For liberty long hast thou stood,
+    In crimson fields of war and blood
+      That peace may be regain'd.
+
+                    II.
+
+    When Austria and aspiring Gaul
+    Determin'd kingdoms to enthral,
+      Lo Prussia's pow'rful prince!
+    With watchful eye and warlike hand,
+    Makes them aghast and trembling stand,
+      Rais'd up by providence.
+
+                    III.
+
+    As when a Lion rears his head,
+    The forest wide is fill'd with dread,
+      Each creature seeks his den;
+    Or when Leviathan the great
+    Displays himself in finny state
+      He terrifies the main.
+
+                    IV.
+
+    In fair record shall long remain
+    The DAY, when on _Thuringia's_ plain
+      SOUBISE before him fled;
+    When HILBOURGHAUSEN'S num'rous band
+    'Gainst Prussian valor could not stand,
+      With terror almost dead.
+
+                    V.
+
+    With haste they fled, and bless'd the night,
+    Which hid them from the victor's sight,
+      And favoured their retreat.
+    Near Freybourg walls, the _Unstrut_ pass'd.
+    On hills of Eckersberg harras'd,
+      They mourn'd their adverse fate.
+
+                    VI.
+
+    O glorious prince! O warlike train!
+    Who hunger, cold and toil sustain
+      With brave unyielding mind!
+    To you proud Austria shall submit,
+    And LOUIS lovingly shall greet
+      The _Prussian_ as his friend.
+
+                    VII.
+
+    In characters of purest gold
+    Thy speech deserves to be enroll'd,
+      Before the battle made;
+    Each Soldier stil'd great FRED'RICK'S friend,
+    Who can his country's rights defend
+      When her fierce foes invade.
+
+                    VIII.
+
+    Who would, in battle lag behind,
+    That serves a prince so great, so kind,
+      In every danger near?
+    When monarchs' lives are laid at stake,
+    What subject would his king forsake?
+      What room is left for fear?
+
+                    IX.
+
+    Europe on thee has fix'd her eye,
+    Great monarch! All on thee rely
+      Her balance just to keep.
+    May this great end thy labours crown,
+    Be sempiternal thy renown,
+      When thou in dust shall sleep.

+
+The same worthy motives that induced the author to send us the
+following poem, will induce us to give it place this month, altho we
+are already crowded with materials. We think it our duty, as _Britons_
+and _Protestants_, to take every opportunity of celebrating such an
+illustrious hero as the King of _Prussia_; and, however unequal the
+strains may be thought, yet if they contribute ever so little to raise
+an imitation of his noble and almost divine atchievments, in the cause
+of _Religion_ and _Liberty_, our end will be fully answered.
+
+
+                  ON THE GLORIOUS VICTORY OBTAINED BY
+                 THE HEROICK KING OF PRUSSIA OVER THE
+                     IMPERIAL ARMY NEAR NEWMARK IN
+                    SILESIA THE 5TH DECEMBER 1757.
+
+                    I.
+
+    My muse! again attempt the lyre;
+    Rouse! rouse! thy whole poetic fire!
+    Great FREDRICK'S deeds do still require
+            More ample praise.
+    Let his great acts the verse inspire,
+            And tuneful be thy lays.
+
+                    II.
+
+    Illustrious HANNIBAL of old,
+    CAESAR the brave and SCIPIO bold,
+    For battles won stand high enroll'd
+            In hist'ry's page!
+    Let Fred'rick's name with theirs be told,
+            The HERO of his age!
+
+                    III.
+
+    _Rosbach!_ thy plain the VICTOR owns!
+    'Twas fill'd with shrieks and dying groans,
+    And mangled limbs and shatter'd bones--
+            In heaps they lay!
+    The vanquished _Gaul_ as yet bemoans
+            That inauspicious day.
+
+                    IV.
+
+    Yea FRED'RICK bent on conquests new,
+    Doth ALEXANDER-like pursue,
+    As if the world he would subdue--
+            Undaunted prince!
+    That thou 'rt a _Hero_ great and true
+            Each action doth evince.
+
+                    V.
+
+    _Silesia_ first demands relief,
+    His losses there augment his grief;
+    Thitherward the _Prussians_ and their CHIEF,
+            To BEVERN'S aid
+    Make hasty marches; and in brief
+            Their parts they nobly play'd.
+
+                    VI.
+
+    See! see! the godlike MAN proceed!
+    And vet'ran bands to battle lead,
+    Inur'd to toil, and warlike deed,
+            A hardy race!
+    Such troops are princes' friends indeed,
+            And do their LEADER grace.
+
+                    VII.
+
+    The trumpet's sound, and loudest noise
+    Of martial drums, increase their joys;
+    Not by compulsion led, but choice,
+            And bold to fight,
+    Their _Country's_ cause in mind they poise;
+            _War! War!_ is their delight!
+
+                    VIII.
+
+    Now they engage with furious shout;
+    And join in battle fierce and stout,
+    Th' invet'rate _Foe_ at length they rout;
+            And loud they cry--
+    O! matchless _Prussians_! ne'er give out;
+            Pursue! Cut off! Destroy!
+
+                    IX.
+
+    Th' intrepid victors far and near
+    Spread fierce destruction on the rear,
+    Their enemies with trembling fear
+            Their arms lay down;
+    Who whilom haughty and severe,
+            Had deem'd the field their own.
+
+                    X.
+
+    See them triumphant bear away
+    Th' imperial standards waving gay!
+    A thousand trophies line the way;
+            As they return,
+    Beneath their feet, a hapless prey,
+            The vanquish'd mourn.
+
+                    XI.
+
+    Behold the blood impurpled plain,
+    And shiver'd armour of the slain!
+    Their dreams of honour, ah! how vain?
+            Gasping they lie!
+    Now of their wounds complain,
+            Now sink and faint and die.
+
+                    XII.
+
+    Such is th' event of human things,
+    The fates of emp'rors and of kings;
+    Death in the rear disaster brings,
+            Dreadful to see!
+    Such as great POPE or HOMER sings,
+            Strains far too high for me.
+
+                    XIII.
+
+    But CHARLES and valiant DAUN retreat,
+    Who lately led an army great--
+    At _Breslau_ now in shatter'd state
+            They rendezvous:
+    And there bemoan their adverse fate,
+            And dismal overthrow.
+
+                    XIV.
+
+    The _Prussian Chief_ pursues with speed,
+    At his approach they're fill'd with dread,
+    From whose terrific arm, dismay'd,
+            So late they flew!
+    O FREDRICK! matchless prince, proceed,
+            Thy glorious course pursue!
+
+                    XV.
+
+    To him those _Heros_ yield the town,
+    And him a _greater Hero_ own;
+    Who soon its walls could batter down,
+            And lay them low.
+    Long may he wear the _Prussian Crown_,
+            And curb each haughty _Foe_.

+
+                   A LITERAL TRANSLATION OF THE KING
+                           OF PRUSSIA'S ODE.
+
+                    I.
+
+        Oh God! all powerful God!
+            Invincible, unknown!
+          Creator, father of all;
+        Whom every nation implores;
+    Whom the Barbarian worships in the wind.
+        By what name will it please thee
+      That I shall address thee? Oh infinite,
+            All wise, and eternal spirit!
+    At the foot of thy sacred throne I most humbly bow my head.
+
+                    II.
+
+        Forsaken by my only friends,
+            In a strange country,
+        Where winter was near killing us;
+          The enraged enemy on every side,
+            With their savage instruments,
+            The sword and fire consuming,
+                As if sacrificers,
+          They came with their deadly rage,
+    And hasten'd to destroy us with cries of triumph.
+
+                    III.
+
+            But in thy penetrating view,
+          How vain are powerful troops!
+        I, still intrepid, dare the combat;
+      My buckler and my lance being my cause:
+              And behold the armies meet;
+    They turn their backs, we following to punish:
+              Victorious each of my soldiers
+                  Seems to carry of war
+                The most terrible thunder;
+    And every arm is a thousand in the fury of the combat.
+
+                    IV.
+
+            Then I owe thee success
+              To fortune! why so?
+              Justice succoured me;
+        From on high she cast down her eyes;
+    And when she perceived the contending parties,
+          She lifted up her hand to weigh
+              The right of each side,
+    And as she found the balance incline, she employ'd her sword.
+
+
+The King of Prussia employs himself in times of peace in the following
+manner: He rises at five; on business till seven; dresses, and
+receives letters and petitions till nine; from nine to eleven with his
+ministers; then on the parade, to exercise the guards; dines at half
+an hour after twelve with some of his officers; at half an hour after
+one he retires till five; then somebody reads to him till seven; then
+the concert; at nine come the men of genius; they sup half an hour
+after, and converse till eleven; then the king retires, and at twelve
+goes to bed.--He is a statesman, soldier, author, and musician;
+indefatigable in business; and by method overlooks and directs
+everything; very frugal; without farce of state; the idle officers of
+the court have the usual titles; but no pay for the drones, tho' they
+are mostly officers.
+
+
+                 THE THIRD PSALM PARAPHRASED, ALLUDING
+                       TO HIS PRUSSIAN MAJESTY.
+
+    Look down, O God! regard my cry!
+      On thee my hopes depend:
+    I'm close beset, without ally;
+      Be thou my shield and friend.
+    Confed'rate kings and princes league,
+      On ev'ry side attack
+    To perpetrate the black intrigue
+      But thou canst drive them back,
+    Long did I fear their wink and nod;
+      In close cabals they cry'd,
+    _There is no help for him in God_;
+      His kingdom we'll divide.
+    Amid their army's dreadful glare
+      Thou gav'st me inward might,
+    Teaching my arm the art of war,
+      My fingers how to fight.
+    Tho' vet'ran troops my camp invest,
+      Expert in war's alarms,
+    Calmly I lay me down to rest
+      In thy protecting arms.
+    Nor will I fear their empty boasts,
+      Tho' thousands thousands join;
+    Since thou art stil'd _the God of hosts_,
+      And victory is thine.
+    Arise, O God, and plead my cause,
+      O! save me by thy pow'r;
+    If e'er I reverenc'd thy laws,
+      Guide this important hour!
+    'Tis done!--they shudder with dismay;
+      My troops maintain their ground:
+    Lo! their embattl'd lines give way,
+      And we are victors crown'd!
+    Success, ye kings, is not your gift;
+      To heav'n it does belong:
+    The race not always to the swift
+      Nor battle to the strong.

+                                TROOPS.
+
+    To injured troops thus gallant BRUNSWICK spoke;
+    'Shall we with tameness bear the _Gallic_ yoke!
+    'Will ye, O Veterans, inur'd to pains
+    'And toils of War, drag ignominious chains?
+    'Turn and behold! behold where hostile bands
+    'Seize on your properties, lay waste your lands,
+    'Your daughters, wives, snatch'd forcibly away,
+    'Slaves to proud _Gallia's_ sons, to best a prey!
+    'Hark! how with piercing Cries, the tender Maid,
+    'By force subdu'd, implores her father's aid;
+    'In agonies repeats her brother's name,
+    'To flay the ruffians and preserve her fame!
+    'Rouze! GERMANS! rouze! a glorious vengeance take;
+    'Religion, honour, freedom, all's at stake!'
+    ... "Enough," they cry'd, "let FERDINAND proceed,
+    "We dare to follow, where he dares to lead."
+    Fir'd by their country's wrongs, to arms they fly,
+    Resolv'd to save her, or resolved to die.

+
+          ON A CARGO OF FRENCH MUFFS SEIZ'D BY THE PRUSSIANS.
+
+    Lewis, the winter harsh, and climate rough,
+    To each of his nice captains, sends a muff,
+    Knowing his troops too tender to resist
+    The foe, without a furr to guard his wrist;
+    For who could prime his gun, or pistol hold,
+    Whose aching fingers were benumbed with cold.
+      _Prussia_, a different scheme in war approves;
+    Whose hardy veterans charge without their gloves.
+    Defy the rigour of the chilling air,
+    And fight, and conquer with their knuckles bare.
+      _Bourbon!_ if wreathes and triumphs are thy aim,
+    Think of some wiser way to purchase fame:
+    Some other arts thy rival to subdue,
+    Soft muffs, without keen swords, will never do;
+    Thy shivering troops would act a better part,
+    Would'st thou send something that could warm their heart;
+    Less for their valour than their heels admir'd
+    With fighting oft' ... with flying seldom tir'd,
+    Success thy arms would never fail to meet,
+    Were battles to be won by nimble feet.

+
+
+             THE KING OF PRUSSIA'S ODE IMITATED IN RHIME.
+
+                    1.
+
+        Father of all! all pow'rful Lord!
+        Infinitely unknown!
+        By heathen, and by saint ador'd,
+        Tho' differently, yet one;
+        By what great name shall I address
+        Thee everlasting king?
+        Oh! how my gratitude express?
+        Oh! how thy praises sing?
+    But, O great God! omniscient ever just,
+    Permit towards thy throne to bow, a particle of dust.
+
+                    2.
+
+        By friends forsaken ev'ry where,
+        Alone, the brunt to stand,
+        Winter's inclement cold to bear,
+        And in a foreign Land;
+        The foe, enrag'd on ev'ry side,
+        Dire implements of war
+        In various shapes and forms provide,
+        And doom them for our share.
+    Heav'ns! with what fury to the charge they fly;
+    Forestal the vict'ry, but forget that man was born to die!
+
+                    3.
+
+        Yet he who frequently has said,
+        That numbers don't avail,
+        Inspir'd us not to be dismay'd,
+        But stand, fight, and prevail:
+        The battle join'd, the foe gave way,
+        Superior valour own'd,
+        And left to us a glorious day,
+        With spoils and honours crown'd:
+    Each single _Prussian_ arm the hero play'd,
+    Dealt round an hundred deaths, an hundred conquests made.
+
+                    4.
+
+        Is it to fortune then I owe
+        This unthought for success?
+        Fortune is blind, it can't be so,
+        I must some other guess:
+        JUSTICE, bright heav'nly maid, beheld
+        The dire contention rise,
+        Saw, and her sacred beam she held
+        Suspended in the skies:
+    The _Austrian_ scale kick'd up, by our's weigh'd down,
+    Justice approv'd, and straight ordain'd the field to be our own.

+          OR THE HERO'S PHILOSOPHY, &C. WROTE BY THE KING OF
+               PRUSSIA, DURING HIS RESIDENCE AT BRESLAU.
+
+    Love by _Hope_ is still sustain'd,
+    _Zeal_ by the _Reward_ that's gain'd;
+    In _Pow'r_, _Authority_ begins,
+    _Weakness_ strength from _Prudence_ wins;
+    _Honesty_ is _Credit's_ wealth,
+    _Temp'rance_ the support of _Health_;
+    _Wit_ from calm _Contentment_ springs,
+    _Content_ 'tis _Competence_ that brings,
+    _Competence_, as all may see,
+    Springs from good _Oeconomy_.
+      Maids, to fan a lover's fire,
+    _Sweetness_ more than charms require;
+    _Authors_ more from _Truth_ may gain
+    Than from tropes that please in vain;
+    _Arts_ will less than _Virtues_ tend
+    _Happiness_ and _Life_ to blend;
+    He that _Happiness_ wou'd get
+    _Prudence_ more must prize than _Wit_,
+    More than _Riches_ rosy _Health_,
+    Blameless _Quiet_ more than _Wealth_.
+      Nought to _owe_, and nought to _hoard_,
+    Little _Land_ and little _Board_,
+    Little _Fav'rite_, true and kind,
+    These are blessings to my mind.
+    I, when winter comes, desire
+    Little _Room_ but plenteous _Fire_,
+    Temp'rate _Glasses_, gen'rous _Wine_,
+    _Dishes few_ whene'er I dine.
+    Yes, my sober thoughts are such,
+    Man must never have _too_ much;
+    _Not too much_ ... What solid sense.
+    Three such little words dispense!
+    Too much _Rest_ benumbs the mind;
+    Too much _Strife_ distracts mankind;
+    Too much _Negligence_ is _Sloth_;
+    Too much _Zeal_ is _Folly's_ growth;
+    Too much _Love_ our peace annoys,
+    Too much _Physic_ life destroys;
+    Too much _Cunning's_ fraudful art,
+    Too much _Firmness_ want of heart
+    Too much _sparing_ makes a knave;
+    Those are _rash_ that are _too_ brave;
+    Too much _Wealth_ like weight oppresses;
+    Too much _Fame_ with care distresses;
+    Too much _Pleasure_ death will bring,
+    Too much _Wit's_ a dang'rous thing;
+    Too much _Trust_ is folly's guide,
+    Too much _Spirit_ is but pride;
+    He's a dupe that is _too free_,
+    Too much _Bounty_ weak must be;
+    Too much _Complaisance_ a knave,
+    Too much _Zeal to please_ a slave.
+    This TOO MUCH, tho' bad it seem,
+    Chang'd with ease to good you deem;
+    But in this you err my friend,
+    For on _Trifles_ all depend.
+      Trifles great effects produce,
+    Both of pleasure and of use;
+    Trifles often turn the scale,
+    When in love or law we fail;
+    Trifles to the great commend,
+    Trifles make proud beauty bend;
+    Trifles prompt the poet's strain,
+    Trifles oft distract the brain;
+    Trifles, trifles more or less,
+    Give us, or withhold success;
+    Trifles, when we _hope_, can cheer,
+    Trifles smite us when we fear:
+    All the flames that lovers know,
+    Trifles quench and trifles blow.

+                  A LADY THAT HAD ORDER'D THE KING OF

+    The _British_ fair are on his side,
+    And for the next campaign provide;

+    Money the sinews is of war.
+    For him they plead, and much can say,

+
+
+Gentlemen.
+
+The following small poetical performance was hastily composed at the
+request, and for the entertainment, of a select company of publick
+spirited friends, who gave me a short notice of their intention to
+dine with me, and drink the protestant champion's health, as they
+termed the king of _Prussia_. They were indulgent enough to express
+their unanimous approbation of the piece, and insisted on my sending
+it up to you, in order (if you would be of their opinion) to occupy a
+leaf in your _Magazine_. I hope no reader will think the dignity of
+the subject, lessened merely by the familiar strain, in which it is
+written: when they consider, that _such_ seemed most suitable to the
+occasion, the verses consisting of eleven feet, are to be read, like
+the _Greek Iambics_ (which were, anciently, much used in convivial
+festivities) with less solemnity and more rapidity, than the common
+heroic measure of ten feet in our language will admit.
+
+                                        Kent, Maryland, July 14, 1758.
+
+
+                           THE ROYAL COMET.
+
+    Mistaken astronomers, gaze not so high:
+    The _Comet_ foretold is not _yet_ in the sky.
+    It shines here on earth, tho' deputed from Heav'n;
+    And remarkably flam'd last year--_Fifty sev'n_.
+    In _Wodon's_[36] bold figure, three thousand years past,
+    O'er ancient Germania its lustre it cast.
+    Next, wearing _Arminius_[37], thy form, it return'd;
+    And, fatal to _Rome's_ blasted legions, it burn'd.
+    Now, attended with all the thunders of war,
+    Our _Prussia's_ great _Frederick_ is that _Blazing Star_!
+    Heav'ns proxy to nations opprest; but a _Sign_
+    To tyrants he comes of a vengeance divine.
+    Eccentric and rapid the north saw him rowl:
+    (For heroes and stars seem most bright near the pole)
+    To _Britain_ propitious he sheds forth his rays;
+    While _Babel's_ lewd _Harlot_, his terrors amaze.
+    The fierce _Russian Bear_ his splendors affright;
+    And _Austria's_ proud _Eagle_ now shrinks from his light.
+    While freedom's glad sons with due warmth he inspires;
+    The _Lillies_ of _France_ are all scorch'd in his fires.
+    False _Stockholm_ shall find the _Baltic_ no bar is.
+    Now at _Vienna_, he'll soon be at _Paris_.
+    O'er _Ocean_ from _Europe_ his influence hurl'd
+    Shall animate here, O _George_, thy new world.
+    Our laws, our religion, our rights he befriends,
+    And conquest o'er savage invaders portends;
+    O'er christians miscall'd, who their nature disgrace,
+    Bely human form, and god's image deface.
+
+      Hail, _Living Effulgence_, whose all honour'd name
+    Shall grace, first of mortals, the annals of fame!
+    Whose glory shall spread, thro' each age and each clime,
+    To the final extent of space and of time!
+    Who the Virtues _Trajan_ and _Titus_ unite;
+    The victor of empires, and _Mankind's Delight_!
+    Hail, radiance auspicious, from light's fountain born
+    Each dark hemisphere to relume and adorn!
+    To whom if compar'd, other kings all appear,
+    Like little dim _Sparklers_, round _Cynthia's_ bright sphere.
+    The wonder of monarchs, a patriot imperial,
+    Endow'd with a spirit of vigour aetherial!
+    For worth, less than your's in pale envy's despite,
+    Old chiefs claim'd to honours celestial a right!
+    From their funeral piles in flames eagles soar'd;
+    Earth's heroes grew gods, and dead kings were ador'd.
+    Defensive, fair justice, he fights in thy cause,
+    And his sword, lightning pointed, reluctant he draws,
+    His courage on aggregate perils still grows;
+    And his triumphs increase from multiply'd foes.
+    Ye _Cæsars_, ye _Bourbons_, ye scourges of God,
+    Ye saw on the wings of the wind how he rode:
+    Revere then heav'ns champion, who, charg'd with your doom,
+    Shall quell the leagu'd hosts of _Gaul_, _Satan_ and _Rome_!
+    When earth's giant crew, each with manifold hands,
+    Assaulted _Jove's_ seat, in confederate bands;
+    Thus _Evius_ asserted the throne of his sire,
+    And heap'd o'er th' aggressors a mountain of fire!
+
+      Ye numberless suns, his kindred, on high,
+    For six thousand years whom cou'd ye descry;
+    Whom, like him, have seen of meer mortal birth;
+    Tho _Alfred_ and _Edward_ once dignify'd earth?
+    Blush, blush, scepter'd pirates, who trail your faint fire:
+    Ye meteors, that transiently dazzling expire!
+    Whose lust of vain pow'r stains the page of your story:
+    What glow worms ye look, and how lost in his glory?
+    Blush, butchers, whose banners red massacre shames,
+    That _Honest_ and _Great_ should bear different names!
+    Go waste the creation for empire and pelf:
+    The globe you may win, but _he_ conquers himself!
+    To spare he subdues; as he sought to defend;
+    Dire war's his forc'd mean: but fair peace his lov'd end.
+    Tho' trophies in battles o'er your's he can raise;
+    Yet these he accounts but a second rate praise.
+    Who by victories plum'd ne'er thinks it disgrace,
+    To sigh that they're earn'd by the blood of his race.
+    The public's first servant, and humble in station;
+    He found his firm glory on wise legislation.
+    His country's great father, in blessings most blest,
+    Who loses his own for the world's peace and rest!
+    Still only ambitious of fair-won renown,
+    And olives with laurels to wreath in his crown.
+    Say poet, philosopher, critick, divine,
+    What art thou?--Since all, but omniscience is thine.
+    Self-taught, tho' a king! and now destin'd to prove,
+    That _Minerva_, like thee, sprang perfect from _Jove_.
+    Like thee, fam'd for wisdom; like thee for alarms:
+    The goddess of science, and goddess of arms!
+      In his words, in his deeds, we read his great heart;
+    Too gen'rous for fraud, and too wise for mean art.
+    With aw still reflecting whence all grandeur springs;
+    And only dependent on thee, King of Kings!
+    The mate of his vet'rans in each noble feat;
+    The first in the charge, and the last in retreat,
+    A statesman and monarch, yet true to his word;
+    A soldier with honour, more bright than his sword.
+    Whom pow'r ne'er corrupted; whom learning adorns:
+    Who, ev'n in idea, court-turpitude scorns:
+    --Yet why should we wonder, that _this_ he disdains;
+    When the blood of good _George_ flows rich in his veins?

+            MR. VOLTAIRE'S LETTER TO HIS PRUSSIAN MAJESTY.
+                              Translated.
+
+    Kind Prince! whom the admiring world must own
+    By truth and nature form'd to grace a throne:
+    Whose dawn of empire like the solar ray,
+    Chears half the _North_ with hopes of lasting day;
+    Receive the homage which the Muses send,
+    Their fav'rite thou! their guardian! and their friend!
+    ARE you enthron'd?... And does your goodness deign
+    To own your poet, and regard his strain?
+    O blissful moment! dear auspicious grace!
+    Does FRED'RICK'S smile my wand'ring steps embrace?
+    Does his great soul possess'd of wisdom's balm,
+    (Ever benevolent, and ever calm!)
+    Leave all the dignity of state behind,
+    To meet the humble lover of mankind?
+    And can your hand the royal gift impart
+    To style me friend of your _distinguish'd_ heart?
+      Fame says of old, that _Phoebus_ heavenly bright,
+    O'er the wide world who spreads the living light,
+    So _Jove_ ordain'd ... his splendid carr resign'd,
+    To live below and humanize mankind:
+    No more his brows their wonted rays reveal'd,
+    A shepherd's form the exil'd god conceal'd;
+    In _Phrygian_ wilds to an unletter'd race,
+    He sung with such divinely-pleasing grace,
+    The savage nation in their softened hearts,
+    Receiv'd the love of virtue and of arts!
+    The rudest breasts the strong persuasion felt,
+    Were taught to think, to reason, and to melt!
+    Themselves to know, the social tye to own,
+    And learn they were not made to live alone!
+    Then every useful science sprung to birth,
+    And peaceful labour blest the smiling earth:
+    Men now united lost their antient rage,
+    Nature rejoic'd and blest her _golden age_;
+    An _age_ by heav'n design'd for man no more,
+    Unless a FREDERICK shall _that_ age restore!
+      It chanc'd as thro' the wood _Apollo_ stray'd,
+    Ere gathering numbers peopled half the shade;
+    As near the cooling stream he pass'd the day
+    And wak'd the golden lyre to wisdom's lay!
+    Attentive to the sound a _stranger swain_,
+    His reed attun'd to imitate the strain;
+    The god well-pleas'd the rustic genius spy'd,
+    Approv'd his aim, and deign'd to be his guide!
+    Aided his trembling hands to touch the string,
+    Whisper'd the words, and shew'd him how to sing!
+    The swain improving blest the care bestow'd,
+    Nor in the _master_ yet perceiv'd the _god_:
+    Nor knew the immortal flame his bosom fir'd,
+    But like a shepherd lov'd him, and admir'd!
+      In me, _great prince_, the image stands renew'd,
+    I feel myself with kindred warmth indu'd;
+    As to thy praise I tune the conscious lyre,
+    I ask whence draws my breast the noble fire?
+    Tell what inspires me, happy people tell?
+    Beneath my Fred'rick's orient sway who dwell:
+    From rapid _Rhine_ to silver-streaming _Meine_,
+    The peaceful subjects of his placid reign?
+    Or ye on _Prussia's_ amber yielding shore,
+    Who bless his name, and hail his guardian power!
+    Yes ... let consenting lands his virtues raise,
+    And fame with all her tongues repeat his praise!
+    Whose scepter shall _Astrea's_ rule restore,
+    And bid dejected MERIT[38] sigh no more.
+      As once directed by the voice of fame
+    To _wisdom's King_ the _southern princess_ came;
+    At FREDERICK'S call ... see ravish'd to obey,
+    The sons of learning take their chearful way;
+    To hear _that_ sense which still attention draws;
+    And bless _that_ goodness which directs his laws;
+    Close by his throne _Philosophy_ shall smile,
+    To view her prince approve her children's toil!
+    While _Science_ joys to see his kind regards
+    Inspire the muse, his bounty still rewards;
+    Not distant far, calm _Charity_ shall stand,
+    Stretching to _Piety_ her social hand:
+    _Justice_ shall banish _arbitrary might_,
+    And _Commerce_ chearful _Plenty_ shall invite:
+    But _Goodness_ chief ... in form angelic drest,
+    (Such as she lives in FREDERICK'S royal breast!)
+    Beneath her wings shall bid the worthy find
+    A shelter from the storms that vex mankind;
+    The friend of truth, by fraud or malice hurl'd
+    Through all the mazes of a faithless world.
+    Whom envy persecutes and bigots hate,
+    Shall here enjoy an undisturb'd retreat;
+    With HIM, who scorns the empty pride or blood,
+    But shares his grandeur with the _wise_ and _good_!
+    What tho' his prudence guards the chance of war,
+    His mildness eyes the mischief from afar!
+    What tho' his arms might _Cæsar's_ laurels find,
+    The peaceful olive suits his greater mind:
+    Yet safe in all events the storm he views,
+    In peace or war ... the darling of the Muse!
+    In either state, alike insur'd success,
+    Since all his aim is to defend and bless!
+      Yet while impending clouds their darkness spread,
+    He arms for war ... but arms without a dread!
+    No _giant forms_[39] compose a vain parade,
+    No glittering _figures_ of the _warrior-trade_:
+    Valour he courts without the pomp of art,
+    And rises on the service of the heart:
+    He boasts it all his glory to be just
+    (A pride beyond the title of _August_!)
+    Which time secures, the most impartial friend,
+    And guards his _name_ till nature fells her end!
+      So when beneath the curs'd _Cæsarian_ race
+    _Rome_ felt the horrors of her first disgrace;
+    Great _Trajan_ rose with every virtue blest,
+    To give the weary world the sweets of rest:
+    No blood, no conquest mark'd his spotless reign,
+    'Twas goodness form'd th' inviolable chain;
+    E'en _India's_ Kings receiv'd the willing yoke,
+    For goodness is a band no savage broke!
+      Not _Salem's_ walls defil'd with wilful blood,
+    A crime, her victor's clemency withstood:
+    Not all her honours levell'd with the dust,
+    Styl'd _Titus good_, or _merciful_, or _just_:
+    Love knit the charm on which his greatness rose,
+    A charm! not worlds united can oppose!
+    Behold the glorious pattern marks your rise!
+    Nor quit the steps by which he gain'd the skies:
+    Try to surpass! (but heav'n his _fate_ refuse!)
+    _He wept a day!_ ... which YOU _will never lose_!

+                  TRANSLATION OF AN EPISTLE FROM THE
+                 KING OF PRUSSIA TO MONSIEUR VOLTAIRE.
+
+    Voltaire, believe me, were I now
+    In private life's calm station plac'd,
+    Yet heav'n for nature's wants allow,
+    With cold indifference would I view
+    Departing fortune's winged haste,
+    And at the goddess laugh like you.
+    Th' insipid farce of tedious state,
+    Imperial duty's real weight,
+    The faithless courtier's supple bow,
+    The fickle multitude's caress,
+    And flatt'rers wordy emptiness,
+    By long experience well I know;
+    And, tho' a prince and poet born,
+    Vain blandishments of glory scorn.
+    For when the ruthless sheers of fate
+    Have cut my life's precarious thread,
+    And rank me with th' unconscious dead,
+    What will't avail that _I was_ great,
+    Or that th' uncertain tongue of fame
+    In mem'ry's temple chants my name?
+    One blissful moment whilst we live
+    Weighs more than ages of renown;
+    What then do potentates receive
+    Of good peculiarly their own?
+    Sweet ease, and unaffected joy,
+    Domestic peace, and sportive pleasure,
+    The regal throne and palace fly,
+    And, born for liberty, prefer
+    Soft silent scenes of lovely leisure
+    To what we monarchs buy so dear,
+    The thorny pomp of scepter'd care.
+    My pain or bliss shall ne'er depend
+    On fickle fortune's casual flight,
+    For, whether she's my foe or friend,
+    In calm repose I'll pass the night;
+    And ne'er by watchful homage own
+    I court her smile, nor fear her frown.
+    But from our stations we derive
+    Unerring precepts how to live,
+    And certain deeds each rank calls forth
+    By which is measur'd human worth.
+    _Voltaire_, within his private cell,
+    In realms where ancient honesty
+    Is patrimonial property,
+    And sacred freedom loves to dwell,
+    May give up all _his_ peaceful mind,
+    Guided by _Plato's_ deathless page,
+    In silent solitude resigned
+    To the mild virtues of a sage;
+    But I 'gainst whom wild whirlwinds wage
+    Fierce war with wreck-denouncing wing,
+    Must be to face the tempest's rage,
+    In thought, in life, in death a king.

+
+    Fire, water, woman, are man's ruin
+    Says wise Professor Vander Brüin
+    By flames a house I hir'd was lost
+    Last year; and I must pay the cost.
+    This spring the rains o'erflow'd my ground;
+    And my best Flanders mare was drown'd.
+    A slave I am to Clara's eyes:
+    The gipsy knows her power and flies.
+    Fire, water, woman, are my ruin:
+    And great thy wisdom Vander Brüin.

+                             ODE TO DEATH
+                   By Frederick II, King of Prussia.
+                 From the French, by Dr. Hawkesworth.
+
+    Yet a few years or days perhaps,
+    Or moments pass with silent lapse,
+      And time to me shall be no more;
+    No more the sun these eyes shall view,
+    Earth o'er these limbs her dust shall strew,
+      And life's fantastick dream be o'er.
+
+    Alas! I touch the dreadful brink,
+    From nature's verge impell'd I sink,
+      And endless darkness wraps me round!
+    Yes, Death, is ever at my hand,
+    Fast by my bed he takes his stand,
+      And constant at my board is found.
+
+    Earth, air and fire, and water join
+    Against this fleeting life of mine,
+      And where for succour can I fly?
+    If art with flattering wiles pretend
+    To shield me like a guardian friend,
+      By Art, ere Nature bids, I die.
+
+    I see this tyrant of the mind,
+    This idol Flesh to dust consigned,
+      Once call'd from dust by power divine:
+    Its features change, 'tis pale, 'tis cold--
+    Hence dreadful spectre! to behold
+      Thy aspect, is to make it mine.
+
+    And can I then with guilty pride,
+    Which fear nor shame can quell or hide,
+      This flesh still pamper and adorn?
+    Thus viewing what I soon shall be,
+    Can what I am demand the knee,
+      Or look on aught around with scorn?
+
+    But then this spark that warms, that guides,
+    That lives, that thinks, what fate betides?
+      Can this be dust, a kneaded clod!
+    This yield to death! the soul, the mind,
+    That measures heaven, and mounts the wind,
+      That knows at once itself and God?
+
+    Great Cause of all, above, below,
+    Who knows thee must forever know,
+      Immortal and divine!
+    Thy image on my soul imprest,
+    Of endless being is the test,
+      And bids Eternity be mine.
+
+    Transporting thought!--but I am sure
+    That endless life will joy secure?
+      Joys only to the just decreed!
+    The guilty wretch expiring goes,
+    Where vengeance endless life bestows,
+      That endless mis'ry may succeed.
+
+    Great God, how awful is the scene!
+    A breath, a transient breath between;
+      And can I jest, and laugh and play?
+    To earth, alas! too firmly bound,
+    Trees, deeply rooted in the ground,
+      Are shiver'd when they're torn away.
+
+    Vain joys, which envy'd greatness gains,
+    How do ye bind with silken claims,
+      Which ask Herculean strength to break!
+    How with new terrours have ye arm'd
+    The power whose slightest glance alarm'd!
+      How many deaths of one ye make!
+
+    Yet, dumb with wonder, I behold
+    Man's thoughtless race in errour bold,
+      Forget or scorn, the laws of death;
+    With these no projects coincide,
+    Nor vows nor toils, nor hopes they guide,
+      Each thinks he draws immortal breath.
+
+    Each blind to fate's approaching hour,
+    Intrigues, or fights for wealth or power,
+      And slumb'ring dangers dare provoke:
+    And he who tott'ring scarce sustains
+    A century's age, plans future gains,
+      And feels an unexpected stroke.
+
+    Go on, unbridled desp'rate band,
+    Scorn rocks, gulfs, winds, search sea and land,
+      And spoil new worlds wherever found.
+    Seize, haste to seize the glittering prize,
+    And sighs, and tears and prayers despise,
+      Nor spare the temple's holy ground.
+
+    They go, succeed, but look again,
+    The desperate hand you seek in vain,
+      Now trod in dust the peasant's scorn.
+    But who, that saw their treasures swell,
+    That heard th' insatiate rebel,
+      Would e'er have thought them mortal born?
+
+    See the world's victor mount his car,
+    Blood marks his progress wide and far,
+      Sure he shall reign while ages fly;
+    No, vanish'd like a morning cloud,
+    The hero was but just allow'd
+      To fight, to conquer, and to die.
+
+    And is it true, I ask with dread,
+    That nations heap'd on nations bled
+      Beneath his chariot's fervid wheel,
+    With trophies to adorn the spot,
+    Where his pale corse was left to rot,
+      And doom'd the hungry reptile's meal?
+
+    Yes, fortune weary'd with her play,
+    Her toy, this hero, casts away,
+      And scarce the form of man is seen:
+    Awe chills my breast, my eyes o'erflow,
+    Around my brows no roses glow,
+      The cypress mine, funereal green.
+
+    Yet in this hour of grief and fears,
+    When awful Truth unveil'd appears,
+      Some power unknown usurps my breast;
+    Back to the world my thoughts are led,
+    My feet in folly's labyrinth tread,
+      And Fancy dreams that life is blest.
+
+    How weak an empress is the mind,
+    Whom Pleasure's flowery wreaths can bind,
+      And captive to her altars lead!
+    Weak Reason yields to Frenzy's rage,
+    And all the world is Folly's stage,
+      And all that act are fools indeed.
+
+    And yet this strange and sudden flight,
+    From gloomy cares to gay delight,
+      This fickleness so light and vain,
+    In life's delusive transient dream,
+    Where men nor things are what they seem,
+      Is all the real good we gain.

+                       By the late doctor Ladd.
+
+    Why, Werter, dost thou leave me so?
+      I wander through the gloom:
+    And with the tears of silent woe,
+      Each night bedew thy tomb.
+
+    Why, Werter, dost thou leave me so?
+      Thy friends, thy kindred flee?
+    Dost thou no longer Charlotte know?
+      Have friends no charms for thee?
+
+    Why, Werter, dost thou leave me so,
+      All lonely, full of fears?
+    Behold thy friends are left to woe,
+      And Charlotte left in tears.
+
+    Why, Werter, dost thou leave me so,
+      To wander round thy tomb?
+    Alas! presentiments of woe
+      Foretold thy fatal doom.
+
+    Why Werter didst thou leave me so,
+      In terrible despair?
+    Those pistols did thy fate foreknow:
+      Ah! why was Charlotte there!
+
+    Why, Werter, didst thou leave me so?
+      Alas! thou wrong'dst my love,
+    To leave me weeping here below,
+      While thou art blest above.
+
+    Werter, thou shalt not leave me so:
+      We must not parted be:
+    I quit the world--to heav'n I go!
+      Werter, I fly to thee.

+
+    And say, did Charlotte's hand these pistols give?
+    Come, ye dear pledges, sacred to my love--
+    Since giv'n by her, 'twould be a crime to live--
+    No; come ye pistols; all your death I prove.
+
+                    II
+
+    But first one kiss, for there did Charlotte touch,
+    Ye sacred relics, now are ye most dear;
+    Tho' o'er your deeds will Charlotte sorrow much,
+    And even Albert drop a pitying tear.
+
+                    III
+
+    May heav'n forgive the unconsider'd deed!
+    It gave me passions, nor could I controul:
+    But if, poor Werter, 'tis a crime to bleed,
+    The God of heav'n have mercy on thy soul.
+
+                    IV
+
+    Charlotte I go!--my pistols have their load:
+    My last, my dying thoughts are fix'd on you!
+    I go! I go thro' death's untrodden road;
+    Once, and for ever, Charlotte--Oh! adieu!

+      Around his tomb, the sweetest grass shall spring;

+    Is this the gen'ral taste? No--truth replies--

+    The handsome Yorker shades her lovely face;
+    She, early led to happier talks at home,
+    Prefers the labours that her sex become;

+                             ELLA. A TALE.
+
+History says that Sivard, King of Sweden, entered Norway with a
+numerous army, and committed the greatest enormities; but was at last
+overthrown, his army routed, and himself slain by one of those women
+whom he had brutally abused.
+
+    Between Norwegian hills wide spreads a plain,
+      By nature form'd for sport;
+    The Vet'ran warrior here, and hardy swain,
+      To annual games resort.
+
+    High o'er their heads was hung the hoary brow,
+      Which cast an ample shade;
+    From thence these words majestic seem'd to flow--
+      "Fierce foes your sports invade!"
+
+    They upward gaze--a warrior struck their sight;
+      He bore aloft his lance,
+    All sheath'd in arms, unsufferably bright,
+      Where beamy splendors dance.
+
+    The western sun-beam round his helmit flies,
+      He more than man appears;
+    And more than mortal seem'd to sound the voice
+      That rang upon their ears.
+
+    "Ye sons of Norway! harken to my tale,
+      "Your rural games oh cease;
+    "Sivard is marching thro' Dulvellon's vale,
+      "Break off the sports of peace!
+
+    "The bloody Sivard leads his conqu'ring Swedes,
+      "He riots in our shame;
+    "The man, the matron, and the infant bleeds--
+      "Norway is but a name!
+
+    "The husband sees--curse on the tyrant's lust--
+      "He sees his beauteous bride--
+    "Her virtue, worth, and honor in the dust--
+      "Oh where is Norway's pride!
+
+    "Rouse! rouse Norwegians! take your arms amain,
+      "Let helms o'ershade each brow;
+    "Let's meet these Swedish dæmons in the plain,
+      "And lay their triumphs low.
+
+    "O had you seen what these poor eyes have seen!
+      "'Twas Sivard done the deed--
+    "Our hoary monarch, and our helpless queen,
+      "I--yes, I saw them bleed.
+
+    "Their daughter Ella--no, I will not tell!
+      "Norwegians ne'er enquire--
+    "Ne'er hear it--what the royal maid befel;
+      "I see your souls on fire.
+
+    "Oh seize your swords, your spears, helms, and shields!
+      "Oh vindicate your fame!
+    "Sivard and Sweden glare on Norway's fields;
+      "Remember Norway's name."
+
+    He said--tears flow apace, fierce glow the swains,
+      Rage fills each honest breast;
+    In Swedish blood to wipe away their stains,
+      Was ev'ry thought address'd.
+
+    Then red-hair'd Rollo, fierce advancing cri'd,--
+      "Who'er thou art, come down,
+    "We live on hills, to ev'ry toil we're tri'd,
+      "And war is all our own.
+
+    "Let Sivard come, we'll meet the tyrant here:
+      "But stranger come thou down."
+    He came--Old Athold gaz'd with look severe;--
+      He gaz'd--but ceas'd to frown.
+
+    "Or Athold has forgot his monarch's face,
+      "Or sure thou art his son!
+    "Eric, of mighty Norway's royal race!"--
+      Full quick the tidings run.
+
+    With shouts they press to see the beauteous chief;
+      The aged kiss his hand:
+    On either side, fast roll'd the marks of grief,
+      Then Athold spoke the band--
+
+    "Ye sons of Norway, to your homes repair,
+      "There seize the sword and shield,
+    "And ere the morning's purple streaks the air,
+      "Meet Eric in the field.
+
+    "Oh prince! do you with aged Athold go,
+      "And take refreshing sleep;
+    "Athold will sing and soothe the rising woe,
+      "Or break his harp and weep!"
+
+    'Twas night--in Athold's hall each took his place;
+      Of other times he sung;
+    Fast stream'd the tears adown the hero's face,
+      And groans responsive rung.
+
+    Bright came the morn; and bright in batter'd arms,
+      The rustic vet'rans came:
+    And many a youth, untri'd in rough alarms,
+      Now hop'd a patriot's name.
+
+    They heard from far the hum of Sivard's host;
+      Young Eric struck his shield;
+    Then high in air his heavy spear he tost,
+      And blaz'd along the field.
+
+    Next aged Athold follow'd; Rollo strong;
+      Black Calmar lifts his mace;
+    Culullin, Marco, Streno, rush along,
+      And all the rugged race.
+
+    Fierce came the Swede;--in strength of numbers proud;
+      He scorn'd his feeble foe;
+    But soon the voice of battle roar'd aloud,
+      And many a Swede lay low.
+
+    Strong Rollo struck the tow'ring Olaus dead,
+      Full fifteen bleed beside:
+    Old Athold cleft the brave Adolphus head,
+      In all his youthful pride.
+
+    But Eric! Eric! rang'd the field around,
+      On Sivard still he cri'd;
+    The gasping Swedes lay heap'd upon the ground--
+      Sivard! the hills repli'd.
+
+    In fury Sivard seiz'd his shining shield,
+      His mail, his helm, and spear;
+    He mounts his car, and thunders o'er the field;
+      Now Norway knows no fear.
+
+    Great Rollo falls beneath his dreadful arm,
+      His steeds are stain'd with blood;
+    Young Eric smil'd to hear the loud alarm,
+      And flew to stop the flood.
+
+    He rag'd, he foam'd--fierce flew the thirsty spear,
+      Down fell the foremost steed:
+    Astonish'd Sivard felt unusual fear,
+      "Tyrant thou'rt doom'd to bleed!"
+
+    Up sprang the youth--deep fell the sword,
+      Sunk in the tyrant's brow:
+    Fast fly the Swedes, and leave their hated lord,
+      His mighty pride laid low.
+
+    Now Norway's sons their great deliv'rer hail,
+      But lo! he bleeds! he falls!
+    Old Athold strips the helm and beamy mail,
+      And on his Gods he calls.
+
+    He lifts the helm, and down the snowy neck
+      Fast falls the silky hair--
+    And could those limbs, the conq'ring Sivard check!
+      Oh pow'r of great despair!
+
+    Life ebbs apace--she lifts her languid head,
+      She strives her hand to wave;
+    Confess to all, the beauteous Ella said--
+      "Thanks, thanks companions brave:
+
+    "Freedom rewards you--naught can Ella give,
+      "Low, low poor Ella lies;
+    "Sivard is dead! and Ella wou'd not live."
+      She bleeds--she faints--she dies!

+
+                         PEASANT OF THE ALPS.
+
+      Where cliffs arise by Winter crown'd,
+      And through dark groves of pine around,
+    Down the deep chasms, the snowed torrents foam,
+      Within some hollow, shelter'd from the storms,
+      The PEASANT of the ALPS his cottage forms,
+    And builds his humble, happy home.
+
+      Unenvied is the rich domain,
+      That far beneath him on the plain,
+    Waves its wide harvests and its olive groves;
+      More dear to him his hut, with plantain thatch'd,
+      Where long his unambitious heart attach'd,
+    Finds all he wishes, all he loves.
+
+      There dwells the mistress of his heart,
+      And _Love_ who teaches ev'ry art,
+    Has bid him dress the spot with fondest care;
+      When borrowing from the vale its fertile soil,
+      He climbs the precipice with patient toil,
+    To plant her fav'rite flow'rets there.
+
+      With native shrubs, a hardy race,
+      There the green myrtle finds a place,
+    And roses there, the dewy leaves decline;
+      While from the crags' abrupt and tangled steeps,
+      With bloom and fruit the Alpine berry peeps,
+    And, blushing, mingles with the vine.
+
+      His garden's simple produce stor'd,
+      Prepared for him by hands ador'd
+    Is all the little luxury he knows:
+      And by the same dear hands are softly spread,
+      The Chamois' velvet spoil that forms the bed,
+    Where in her arms he finds repose.
+
+      But absent from the calm abode
+      Dark thunder gathers round his road,
+    Wild raves the wind, the arrowy light'nings flash,
+      Returning quick the murmuring rocks among,
+      His faint heart trembling as he winds along;
+    Alarm'd he listens to the crash.
+
+      Of rifted ice!--Oh, man of woe!
+      O'er his dear cot--a mass of snow,
+    By the storm sever'd from the cliff above,
+      Has fall'n--and buried in its marble breast,
+      All that for him--lost wretch--the world possest,
+    His home, his happiness, his love!
+
+      Aghast the heartstruck mourner stands!
+      Glaz'd are his eyes--convuls'd his hands,
+    O'erwhelming anguish checks his labouring breath;
+      Crush'd by Despair's intolerable weight,
+      Frantic he seeks the mountain's giddiest height,
+    And headlong seeks relief in death.
+
+      A fate too similar is mine,
+      But I--in ling'ring pain repine,
+    And still my last felicity deplore;
+      Cold, cold to me is that dear breast become,
+      Where this poor heart had fondly fix'd its home,
+    And love and happiness are mine no more.

+              A GENERAL VIEW OF SWITZERLAND AND THE ALPS,

+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+But to return to our Alps. Here, savage rocks of an inaccessible
+height; there, torrents bursting, as it were, from the clouds, and
+rolling down the rugged precipices:
+
+                        The gay train,
+    Of fog, thick roll'd into romantic shape,
+
+may, perhaps, excite your wonder, but not exceed the compass of your
+imagination. But how shall I convey to you an idea of the ever-varying
+and accidental beauties of this majestic scenery! Sometimes the
+vapour-winged tempest, flitting along some lonely vale, embrowns it
+with a solemn shade, whilst every thing around glitters in the
+fullness of meridian splendour. On a sudden, all is dark and gloomy;
+the thunder rolls from rock to rock, till echo seems tired with the
+dreadful repetition: add to this, the gradual approach of the evening,
+the last gleam of sunshine fading on the mountain-brow, the lingering
+twilight still warding off the veil of night, till the rising moon
+just continues, in vision, a glimmering of its faded glories:
+
+    Now all's at rest--and ere the wearied swain
+      Rise to his labour on the upland lawn,
+    Shall not the muse from nature catch a strain,
+      To wake, and greet him at the morning dawn?
+
+    Oh! let her tell him that the feeling heart,
+      Oft to the mountain side by memory led,
+    Shall seek those blessings wealth can ne'er impart,
+      And wish to share the quiet of his shed:
+
+    Where ev'ry sordid passion lull'd to rest,
+      Man knows each gift of nature how to prize:
+    Flies from the storm unto his fair one's breast,
+      And there reposing waits serener skies.
+
+    Say, ye proud sons of fortune and of power,
+      Can aught the joys you feel, with these compare?
+    Can the full triumph of ambition's hour,
+      When tempests threaten, sooth your anxious care?
+
+    Or shall the tenant of yon lonely cot,
+      That smiles with pity on your pageant state,
+    Pleas'd with his poor but independent lot,
+      Expose the wretchedness of being great?
+
+    Unknown to you, the houseless child of woe,
+      The friendless pilgrim, or the hungry poor;
+    Unleft the good ye carelessly bestow,
+      The hand that feeds them, drives them from your door.
+
+    Here cruel charity no off'ring makes,
+      That whilst it aids, insults the big distress,
+    The heart that welcomes, ev'ry grief partakes,
+      And only pities where it can't redress.
+
+Such are the scenes, my dear Lord, such the hospitality I am now going
+to quit. I know not why I wished to jingle their virtues into rhyme,
+unless it was, that my prose began to run upon stilts, or that I
+mistook a momentary enthusiasm for a poetical inspiration. In fact,
+every thought and conception is so far raised above the common train
+of ideas, that the error is excusable, especially too when the
+imaginary poet sets out with
+
+Sublimi seriens sidera vertice.

+                            THE WATER-KING.
+
+A Danish Ballad. By the Author of Alonzo the Brave.
+
+[The poem follows.]
+
+Since writing these stanzas, I have met with two old Scotch ballads
+which have some resemblance with "The Water King"; one is called "May
+Colvin," and relates the story of a king's daughter who was beguiled
+from her father's house by a false Sir John; the other, intitled
+"Clerk Colvil," treats of a young man who fell into the snares of a
+false mermaid; the latter, indeed, bears a still stranger resemblance
+to the Danish tradition of "The Erl-King's Daughter." The fragment of
+"The Water King" may be found in "Herder's Volkslieder."
+
+Many inquiries have been made respecting the elementary monarchs
+mentioned a few pages back; I must inform my readers that all I know
+respecting the Water King (called in the German translation "Der
+Wasser-Mann") and the Erl-King (called in German Erlkönig) is gathered
+from the foregoing ballad and two others which I shall here insert.
+With respect to the Fire King and the Cloud King, they are entirely of
+my own creation; but if my readers choose to ascribe their birth to
+the "Comte de Gabalis," they are very welcome.

+
+                                                  Virg. Ae. I-466.
+
+    The conflict's o'er--ah! lovely maid, adieu!
+    Before these sad, these parting lines, you view;
+    Before the fields with early dawn shall bloom,
+    Your Werter rests beneath the silent tomb:
+    No more to view the beauties of the day,
+    No more to listen to thy heavenly lay,
+    To sit, in transport, and to hear thee talk,
+    Or with thee wander, in an ev'ning walk,
+    Along the margin of the winding flood,
+    Thro' the green fields, or in the shady wood.
+      O! Charlotte! when you see the floods arise,
+    And wintry storms descending from the skies,
+    The wat'ry gloom that fills the plain below,
+    And all around one dreary waste of snow;
+    Will you not then, a sigh in sorrow heave,
+    For the lost pleasures of a summer's eve,
+    Recall the time when you so oft have seen
+    Thy hapless lover on the verdant green,
+    Or thro' the vale approaching from the grove,
+    To view thy charms and pine in hopeless love,
+    Gaze on thy angel form, for without she,
+    The world appear'd a boundless blank to me.
+    As when to seamen, from the midnight skies
+    The moon's bright beams in brilliant glory rise,
+    To guide them wand'ring thro' the wat'ry plain,
+    Or land them on their native shores again;
+    Thus, Charlotte, I no other joy could see,
+    Than pass the vacant day, and gaze on thee,
+    Live in thy joys, or in thy sorrows die,
+    "And drink delicious poison from thine eye,"
+    As the lost insect round the taper flies,
+    And courts the fatal flame by which it dies.
+    But, Charlotte, now those fleeting joys are fled,
+    And Werter sinks among the silent dead
+    From the bright hopes of life forever gone,
+    His mem'ry lost, and e'en his name unknown,
+    The time shall come, when in the vacant mind,
+    The fondest friend no trace of me shall find;
+    When e'en my kindred my sad fate shall hear,
+    And view my mould'ring grave without a tear,
+    Think on the light impressions of the mind,
+    Which flee as midnight dreams, and leave no trace behind.
+      This eve I wander'd thro' each beauteous scene,
+    Each fertile valley, and each level green,
+    Pensive and sad I view'd the foaming flood;
+    And the wild winds disturb the silent wood.
+    Beheld the sun's great orb, in glory bright,
+    Descend behind the western surge in night;
+    While on the hill to see its beams, I stood,
+    And view'd it sinking in the briny flood,
+    I felt my heart with double sorrows prest,
+    And life's last hope desert my throbbing breast;
+    The world's vast scene forever clos'd from sight,
+    And all involv'd in one eternal night.
+      Ah! shall I ne'er again thy image know,
+    In these sad realms of misery and woe,
+    Or is there yet a place in heaven design'd,
+    For hapless mortals by th' eternal mind,
+    Some winding valley, or some shady grove,
+    Some blissful mansions in the realms above,
+    Where Charlotte's shade and mine may one day meet,
+    Our suff'rings ended and our bliss complete,
+    In the bright regions of eternal light,
+    Where all is perfect joy and pure delight.
+      When in the summer's eve you chance to stray
+    Thro' the low vale, or on the broad highway,
+    Or in the churchyard, thro' the shady trees,
+    You hear the whistling of the midnight breeze,
+    Wave high the grass, in solitary gloom,
+    Around the heap that shews thy lover's tomb--
+    Ah, then will you not one sad thought bestow,
+    On him who could no greater blessing know
+    Than pass the hour with fleeting joys with thee,
+    Gaze on thy charms and watch thy wand'ring eye,
+    Observe the beauteous image of thy mind,
+    Disclose a soul for heaven alone design'd,
+    Or view thy distant form amidst the trees,
+    And thy white tresses floating in the breeze;
+    Or see thy fingers strike, with tender lays,
+    Such notes as bards in heaven alone can raise;
+    Such notes as Orpheus' self might lean to hear,
+    And force from Pluto's soul the melting tear.
+    Yes, Charlotte's self, my sad remains shall see,
+    And Charlotte's tender heart will heave a sigh for me.

+_Dessert to the True American_, I-No. 20, Nov. 24, 1798, [Phila.].
+
+
+The following burlesque on the style, in which most of the German
+romantic ballads are written, is replete with wit and humour; and we
+trust will prove amusing even to the greatest admirers of that style
+of writing. It is only necessary to premise that Lord Hoppergallop has
+left his servant maid at his country mansion, where she has fallen
+with the gardener.
+
+      Cold blows the blast:--the night's obscure:
+    The mansion's crazy wainscots crack:
+      The sun had sunk:--and all the moor,
+    Like ev'ry other moor--was black.
+
+      Alone, pale, trembling, near the fire,
+    The lovely Molly Dumpling sat,
+      Much did she fear, and much admire,
+    What Thomas, gard'ner could be at.
+
+      Listening, her hand supports her chin,
+    But, ah! no foot is heard to stir:
+      He comes not, from the garden, in;
+    Nor he, nor little Bobtail cur.
+
+      They cannot come, sweet maid, to thee!
+    Flesh, both of cur and man, is grass!
+      And what's impossible, can't be;
+    And never, never, comes to pass!
+
+      She paces through the hall antique,
+    To call her Thomas from his toil;
+      Opes the huge door;--the hinges creak,--
+    Because the hinges wanted oil.
+
+      Thrice on the threshold of the hall,
+    She "Thomas" cried, with many a sob;
+      And thrice on Bobtail did she call,
+    Exclaiming sweetly--"Bob! Bob! Bob!"
+
+      Vain maid! a gard'ners corpse, 'tis said
+    In answers can but ill succeed;
+      And, dogs that hear when they are dead
+    Are very cunning dogs, indeed!
+
+      Back through the hall she bent her way,
+    All, all was solitude around!
+      The candle shed a feeble ray--
+    Though a large mould of four to th' pound.
+
+      Full closely to the fire she drew;
+    Adown her cheek a salt tear stole,
+      When, lo! a coffin out there flew,
+    And in her apron burnt a hole!
+
+      Spiders their busy death watch tick'd;
+    A certain sign that fate will frown;
+      The clumsy kitchen clock, too, click'd;
+    A certain sign it was not down.
+
+      More strong and strong her terrors rose;--
+    Her shadow did the maid appal;--
+      She trembled at her lovely nose--
+    It look'd so long against the wall.
+
+      Up to her chamber, damp and cold,
+    She clim'd lord Hoppergallop's stair;--
+      Three stories high, long, dull and old--
+    As great lords' stories often are.
+
+      All Nature now appear'd to pause;
+    And "o'er the one half world seem'd dead;"
+      No "curtain'd sleep" had she;--because
+    She had no curtains to her bed.
+
+      Listening she lay;--with iron din,
+    The clock struck twelve; the door flew wide;
+      When Thomas grimly glided in,
+    With little Bobtail by his side.
+
+      Tall, like the poplar, was his size;
+    Green, green his waistcoat was, as leeks,
+      Red, red as beet root, were his eyes;
+    And, pale, as turnips, were his cheeks!
+
+      Soon as the spectre she espied,
+    The fear struck damsel faintly said,
+      "What would my Thomas?"--he replied,
+    "O! Molly Dumpling! I am dead."
+
+      "All in the flower of youth I fell,
+    Cut off with health's full blossom crown'd;
+      I was not ill--but in the well
+    I tumbled backwards, and was drown'd.
+
+      "Four fathom deep thy love doth lie;
+    His faithful dog his fate doth share;
+      We're friends;--this is not he and I;
+    We are not here--for we are there.
+
+      "Yes;--two foul water fiends are we;
+    Maid of the moor! attend us now!
+      Thy hour's at hand;--we come for thee!
+    The little fiend cur said "bow wow!"
+
+      "To wind her in her cold grave,
+    A Holland sheet a maiden likes;
+      A sheet of water thou shalt have;
+    Such sheets there are in Holland dykes."
+
+      The fiends approach; the maid did shrink;
+    Swift through the night's foul air they spin;
+      They took her to the green well's brink,
+    And, with a souse, they plump'd her in.

+              From the shop of Messrs. Colon and Spondee.
+
+Among the newest and most delightful miscellanies, lately received
+from England, may be ranked a poetical work, entitled "_Tales of
+Terror_." This is partly intended as a burlesque of the various
+ballads in Lewis's celebrated romance, "_The Monk_." We well remember,
+that this member of the British parliament has amused himself, and
+alarmed his readers, by resorting to the cells of Gothic superstition,
+and invoking all the forms of German horror, to appal every timid
+heart. Hence, we have been haunted by ghosts of all complexions; and
+"_Cloud Kings_," and "_Water Kings_," and "_Fire Kings_," have been
+crowned by this poetical magician, to rule with despotism in the
+realms of Fancy. A lively satirist, endowed with the gifts of Genius,
+easy in versification, pleasant in his humour, and inimitably
+successful in parody, has, in some of his "_Tales of Terror_"
+undertaken to mock the doleful tones of Mr. Lewis's muse, or shall we
+rather say the hoarse caw of the German raven. The midnight hour has
+been beguiled, by transcribing the following sarcasm, founded on a
+well-known nursery story, and our readers will thank us for sitting up
+so late for their amusement.

+
+Veteres avias tibi de pulmone revello           _Persius_.
+
+Translated from the Danish of the author of the Water King, etc., and
+respectfully inscribed to M. G. Lewis, Esq., M.P., as an humble
+attempt to imitate his excellent version of that celebrated ballad.
+
+    The birds they sung, the morning smil'd
+    The mother kiss'd her darling child,
+    And said ... "My dear, take custards three,
+    And carry to your grandmummie."
+
+    The pretty maid had on her head
+    A little riding hood of red,
+    And as she pass'd the lonely wood,
+    They call'd her small red riding hood.
+
+    Her basket on her arm she hung,
+    And as she went thus artless sung:
+    "A lady lived beneath a hill,
+    Who if not gone, resides there still."
+
+    The wolf king saw her pass along,
+    He ey'd her custards heard her song,
+    And cried "That child and custards three
+    This evening shall my supper be!"
+
+    Now swift the maid pursu'd her way,
+    And heedless trill'd her plaintive lay;
+    Nor had she pass'd the murky wood,
+    When lo! the wolf king near her stood.
+
+    "Oh! stop my pretty child so gay!
+    Oh! whither do you bend your way?"
+    "My little self and custards three
+    Are going to my grandmummie."
+
+    "While you by yonder mountain go,
+    On which the azure blue bells grow,
+    I'll take this road; then haste thee, dear,
+    Or I before you will be there.
+
+    "And when our racing shall be done,
+    A kiss you forfeit, if I've won;
+    Your prize shall be, if first you come,
+    Some barley sugar and a plumb."
+
+    "Oh! thank you, good sir Wolf," said she,
+    And dropt a pretty courtesie:
+    The little maid then onward hied,
+    And sought the blue bell mountain side.
+
+    The wolf sped on o'er marsh and moor,
+    And faintly tapp'd at granny's door:
+    "Oh! let me in, grandmummy good,
+    For I am small red riding hood."
+
+    "The bobbin pull (the grandam cried),
+    The door will then fly open wide."
+    The crafty wolf the bobbin drew,
+    And straight the door wide open flew.
+
+    He pac'd the bed room eight times four,
+    And utter'd thrice a hideous roar;
+    He pac'd the bed room nine times three,
+    And then devour'd poor grandmummie.
+
+    He dash'd her brains out on the stones,
+    He gnaw'd her sinews, crack'd her bones;
+    He munch'd her heart, he quaff'd her gore,
+    And up her lights and liver tore.[41]!!!!
+
+    Grandmummy's bed he straight got in,
+    Her night-cap tied beneath his chin;
+    And, waiting for his destin'd prey,
+    All snug between the sheets he lay.
+
+    Now at the door a voice heard he,
+    Which cried ... "I've brought you custards three;
+    Oh! let me in, grandmummy good,
+    For I am small red riding hood."
+
+    "The bobbin pull (the wolf king cried),
+    The door will then fly open wide."
+    The little dear the bobbin drew,
+    And straight the door wide open flew.[42]
+
+    She plac'd the custards on the floor,
+    And sigh'd ... "I wish I'd brought you _four_.[43]
+    I'm very tir'd, dear grandmummie;
+    Oh! may I come to bed to thee?"
+
+    "Oh come! (the wolf king softly cried),
+    And lie, my sweet one, by my side:"
+    Ah! little thought the child so gay
+    The cruel wolf king near her lay!
+
+    "Oh! tell me, tell me, granny dear,
+    Why does your _voice_ so gruff appear?"
+    "Oh! hush, sweetheart (the wolf king said),
+    I've got a small cold in my head!"
+
+    "Oh! tell me, grandmummie so kind,
+    Why you've a _tail_ grows out _behind_?"
+    "Oh! hush thee, hush thee, pretty dear,
+    My pincushion I hang on there!"
+
+    "Why do your _eyes_ so glare on me?"
+    "They are your pretty face to see."
+    "Why do your _ears_ so long appear?"
+    "They are your pretty voice to hear."
+
+    "Oh! tell me, granny, why to-night
+    Your teeth appear so long and white?"[44]
+    Then, growling, cried the wolf so grim,
+    "They are to tear you limb from limb!"
+
+    His hungry teeth the wolf king gnash'd,
+    His sparkling eyes with fury flash'd,
+    He op'd his jaws all sprent with blood,
+    And fell on small red riding hood.
+
+    He tore her bowels out one and two,

+The following piece of singular and original composition was found
+amongst the papers of an old Dutchman, in Albany. The manuscript has
+suffered considerably from the tooth of time, and from several marks
+of antiquity about it, it may be safely inferred, that a century at
+least has elapsed since it was written. It is hardly necessary to
+inform the judicious reader, that this piece is no other than a billet
+doux, or love epistle, sent by some Dutch swain in the country, to the
+girl of his heart, who, it seems, had gone to reside some time in the
+city of Albany.

+
+    Hail, deadly Autumn, and thy fading leaf,
+    I love thee, drear and gloomy as thou art;
+    Not joyful Spring, like thee can soften grief,
+    Nor gaudy Summer soothe the aching heart;
+    But in thy cheerless, solitary bower,
+    Beneath the varied shade, I love to lie,
+    When dusky Evening's melancholy hour
+    With boding clouds obscures the low'ring sky,
+    And tuneless birds and fading flowers appear
+    In grief to hang their heads, and mourn the parting year.
+
+    'Tis not the gloomy sky, the parting year,
+    'Tis not the Winter's dreary reign I mourn,
+    But absent friends--and _one_ than life more dear,
+    And joys departed, never to return!
+    O gentle Hope, that 'mid Siberia's snows,
+    Can cheer the wretched exile's lingering year,
+    And where the sun on curs'd Oppression glows,
+    Can check the sigh, and wipe the falling tear,
+    Thy gentle care--thy succour I implore;
+    O raise thy heavenly voice, and bid me weep no more.
+
+    Thou hears't my prayer--I feel thy holy flame--
+    And future joys in bright succession rise,
+    And mutual love and friendship--sacred name!
+    And home and all the blessings that I prize.
+    Thou, Memory, lendst thy aid, and to my view
+    Each friend I love, and every scene most dear,
+    In forms more bright than ever painter drew,
+    Fresh from thy pencil's magic tint appear.
+    Roll on, ye lingering hours, that lie between,
+    Till Truth shall realize, and Virtue bless, the scene.

+
+In the midst of the performance of his Lent Oratorio, (1759) of the
+Messiah, nature exhausted, he dropt his head upon the keys of the
+organ he was playing upon, and with difficulty raised up again. He
+recovered his spirits, and went on with the performance until the
+whole was finished. He was carried home, and died.
+
+    To melt the soul, to captivate the ear,
+    (Angels such melody might deign to hear,)
+    To anticipate on earth the joys of heav'n,
+    'Twas Handel's task: to him that pow'r was giv'n.
+
+    Ah, when he late attuned Messiah's praise,
+    With sound celestial, with melodious lays:
+    A last farewell, his languid looks express'd,
+    And thus, methinks, th' enraptur'd crowd addrest.
+
+    "Adieu, my dearest friend, and also you,
+    "Joint sons of sacred harmony, adieu!
+    "Apollo whispering, prompts me to retire,
+    "And bids me join the bright seraphic choir:
+
+    "Oh! for Elijah's car!" great Handel cry'd:
+    Messiah heard his voice, and Handel died.

+
+    Daughter of night, chaotic Queen!
+      Thou fruitful source of modern lays,
+    Whose turbid plot, and tedious scene,
+      The monarch spurn, the robber raise.
+    Bound in thy necromantic spell
+    The audience taste the joys of hell,
+    And Briton's sons indignant grown
+    With pangs unfelt before, at crimes before unknown.
+
+    When first, to make the nation stare,
+      Folly her painted mask display'd,
+    Schiller sublimely mad was there,
+      And Kotz'bue lent his leaden aid.
+    Gigantic pair! their lofty soul
+    Disdaining reason's weak control,
+    On changeful Britain sped the blow,
+    Who, thoughtless of her own, embraced fictitious woe.
+
+    Aw'd by thy scowl tremendous, fly
+      Fair Comedy's theatric brood,
+    Light satire, wit, and harmless joy,
+      And leave us dungeons, chains and blood.
+    Swift they disperse, and with them go,
+    Mild Otway, sentimental Rowe;
+    Congreve averts the indignant eye,
+    And Shakespeare mourns to view the exotic prodigy.
+
+    Ruffians, in regal mantle dight,
+      Maidens immers'd in thoughts profound,
+    Spectres, that haunt the shades of night,
+      And spread a waste of ruin round.
+    These form thy never-varying theme,
+    While, buried in thy Stygian stream,
+    Religion mourns her wasted fires
+    And Hymen's sacred torch low hisses, and expires.
+
+    O mildly on the British stage,
+      Great Anarch! spread thy sable wings;
+    Not fired with all the frantic rage,
+      With which thou hurl'st thy darts at kings.
+    As thou in native garb art seen,
+    With scattered tresses, haggard mien,
+    Sepulchral chains and hideous cry
+    By despot arts immur'd in ghastly poverty.
+
+    In specious form, dread Queen! appear;
+      Let falsehood fill the dreary waste;
+    Thy democratic rant be here,
+      To fire the brain, corrupt the taste.
+    The fair, by vicious love misled,
+    Teach me to cherish and to wed,
+    To low-born arrogance to bend,
+    Establish'd order spurn, and call each outcast friend.

+      The slender branches of the white birch wave.
+
+    Behind, the forest fir is heard to sigh,
+      On which the pensive ear delights to dwell;

+
+    A wolf, while Julia slept, had made
+      Her favorite lamb his prize;
+    Young Casper flew to give his aid,
+      Who heard the trembler's cries.
+    He drove the wolf from off the green,
+      But claim'd a kiss for pay.
+    Ah! Julia, better 'twould have been,
+      Had Casper staid away.
+
+    While grateful feelings warm'd her breast,
+      She own'd she loved the swain;
+    The youth eternal love professed,
+      And kiss'd and kiss'd again.
+    A fonder pair was never seen;
+      They lov'd the live long day:
+    Ah! Julia, better 'twould have been,
+      Had Casper staid away.
+
+    At length, the sun his beams withdrew,
+      And night inviting sleep,
+    Fond Julia rose and bade adieu,
+      Then homeward drove her sheep.
+    Alas! her thoughts were chang'd, I ween,
+      For thus I heard her say;
+    Ah! Julia, better 'twould have been,
+      Had Casper staid away.

+                       THE HAUNTING OF HAVARDUR.
+                          By C. Leftly, Esq.
+
+    Son of Angrym, warrior bold,
+    Stay thy travel o'er the wold;
+    Stop, Havardur, stop thy steed;
+    Thy death, thy bloody death's decreed.
+    She, Coronzon's lovely maid,
+    Whom thy wizard wiles betray'd,
+    Glides along the darken'd coast,
+    A frantic, pale, enshrouded ghost.
+    Where the fisher dries his net,
+    Rebel waves her body beat;
+    Seduc'd by thee, she toss'd her form
+    To the wild fury of the storm.
+      Know thou feeble child of dust,
+    Odin's brave, and Odin's just;
+    From the Golden Hall I come
+    To pronounce thy fatal doom;
+    Never shall thou pass the scull
+    Of rich metheglin deep and full:
+    Late I left the giant throng,
+    Yelling loud thy funeral song;
+    Imprecating deep and dread
+    Curses on thy guilty head.
+    Soon with Lok, thy tortur'd soul,
+    Must in boiling billows roll;
+    Till the God's eternal light
+    Bursts athwart thy gloom of night;
+    Till Surtur gallops from afar,
+    To burn this breathing world of war.
+      Bold to brave the spear of death,
+    Heroes hurry o'er the heath:
+    Hasten to the smoking feast--
+    Welcome every helmed guest,
+    Listen hymns of sweet renown,
+    Battles by thy fathers won;
+    Frame thy face in wreathed smiles,
+    Mirth the moodiest mind beguiles.--
+    Yet I hover always nigh,
+    Bid thee think,--and bid thee sigh;
+    Yet I goad thy rankling breast;--
+    Never, never, shalt thou rest.
+      What avails thy bossy shield?
+    What the guard thy gauntlets yield?
+    What the morion on thy brow?
+    Or the hauberk's rings below?
+    If to live in anguish fear,
+    Danger always threatening near:
+    Lift on high thy biting mace,
+    See him glaring in thy face;
+    Turn--yet meet him, madd'ning fly,
+    Curse thy coward soul, and die.
+      Not upon the field of fight
+    Hela seals thy lips in night;
+    A brother, of infernal brood,
+    Bathes him in thy heart's hot blood;
+    Twice two hundred vassals bend,
+    Hail him as their guardian friend;
+    Mock thee writhing with the wound,
+    Bid thee bite the dusty ground;
+    Leave thee suffering, scorn'd alone,
+    To die unpitied and unknown.
+      Be thy nacked carcase strew'd,
+    To give the famish'd eagles food;
+    Sea-mews screaming on the shore,
+    Dip their beaks, and drink thy gore.
+    Be thy fiend-fir'd spirit borne,
+    Wreck'd upon the fiery tide,
+    An age of agony abide.
+      But soft, the morning-bell beats one,
+    The glow-worm fades; and, see, the sun
+    Flashes his torch behind yon hill.
+    At night, when wearied nature's still,
+    And horror stalks along the plain,
+    Remember--we must meet again.

+
+
+Bürger's beautiful ballad,
+
+    Earl Walter winds his bugle horn,
+    To horse! to horse! halloo! halloo!.
+
+has given rise in England to a very humorous
+
+
+                                PARODY.
+                   Mirth, with thee I mean to live.
+
+    Earl Walter kicks the waiter's rump,
+      Down stairs! down stairs! halloo, halloo!
+    They sally forth, they wheel, they jump,
+      And fast the scampering watch pursue.
+
+    The jolly bucks from tavern freed,
+      Dash fearless on through thick and thin,
+    While answering alleys, as they speed,
+      Loudly re-echo to their din.
+
+    Saint Dunstan's arm, with massy stroke
+      The solemn midnight peal had rung,
+    And bawling out, "Past twelve o'clock,"
+      Loud, long and deep the watchman sung.
+
+    The clamorous Earl Walter guides,
+      Huzza, Huzza, my merry men,
+    When, puffing, holding both their sides,
+      Two strangers haste to join his train.
+
+    The right-hand stranger's locks were grey,
+      But who he was I cannot tell;
+    The left was debonnair and gay,
+      A dashing blood I know full well.
+
+    He wav'd his beaver hat on high,
+      Cried, "Welcome, welcome, noble lord!
+    What joys can earth, or sea, or sky,
+      To match our midnight sports afford?"
+
+    "Methinks," the other said, "'twere best
+      To leave, my friends, your frantick joys,
+    And for the balmy sweets of rest,
+      Exchange such rude discordant noise."
+
+    But still Earl Walter onward hies,
+      And dashing forward, on they go,
+    Huzza, huzza, each toper cries,
+      "Hark forward, forward, hollo ho!"
+
+    The jovial band Earl Walter guides,
+      Along the Fleet, up Ludgate-Hill,
+    And puffing, holding both their sides,
+      His boon companions follow still.
+
+    From yonder winding lane out springs
+      A phantom, white as snow,
+    And louder still Earl Walter sings,
+      "Hark forward, forward, hollo, ho!"
+
+    A quaker prim has crossed the way,
+      He sprawls their nimble feet below,
+    But what care they for _yea_-and-_nay_,
+      Still forward, forward, on they go.
+
+    See, at the corner of yon street,
+      A humble stall, with apples crown'd!
+    See, scatter'd by Earl Walter's feet,
+      The woman's apples rolling round.
+
+    "O Lord! have mercy on my stall,
+      Spare the hard earnings of the poor,
+    The helpless widow's little all,
+      The fruit of many a watchful hour."
+
+    Earnest the right hand stranger pleads,
+      The left still pointing to the prey,
+    The impatient Earl no warning heeds,
+      But furious holds the onward way.
+
+    "Away, thou poor old wither'd witch,
+      Or dread the scourge's echoing blow!"
+    Then loud he sung and wav'd his switch,
+      "Hark forward, forward, hollo ho!"
+
+    So said, so done; one single bound
+      Clears the _green grocer's_ humble stall;
+    While through the apples scatter'd round,
+      They hurry, hurry, one and all.
+
+    And now behold the tim'rous prey,
+      Beyond the reach of Comus' crew,
+    Still lightly trip along the way,
+      Unconscious who her steps pursue.
+
+    Again they wheel, their nimble feet
+      The devious way still quickly trace,
+    Down Ludgate-Hill, along the Fleet,
+      The unwearied Earl pursues the chase.
+
+    The watch now muster strong and dare
+      Dispute the empire of the field;
+    They wave their cudgels high in air,
+      "Now yield thee, noble Baron yield."
+
+    "Unmanner'd vagabonds! in vain
+      You strive to mar our nightly game;
+    Come on! come on! my merry men,
+      The raggamuffins we can tame."
+
+    In heaps the victims bite the dust,
+      Down sinks Earl Walter on the ground,
+    Now run who can, and lie who must,
+      For loud the _watchmen's rattles_ sound.
+
+    Now to the justice borne along,
+      In sullen majesty they go;
+    The place receives the motley throng,
+      And echoes to their hollo ho!
+
+    All mild amid the rout profane,
+      The _justice_ solemn thus began:
+    "Forebear your knighthood thus to stain,
+      Revere the dignity of man.
+
+    The meanest trull has rights to plead,
+      Which wrong'd by cruelty or pride,
+    Draw vengeance on thy guilty head,
+      Howe'er by titles dignified."
+
+    Cold drops of sweat in many a trill,
+      Adown Earl Walter's temples fall,
+    And louder, louder, louder still,
+      The surly watch for vengeance call.
+
+    The right-hand stranger anxious pleads;
+      The clamours of the mob increase,
+    The _riot act_ the justice reads,
+      And binds the Earl to keep the peace.
+
+    The court broke up, they sally out,
+      And raise a loud, a last huzza;
+    Then sneak'd away and hung his snout,
+      Each disappointed dog of law.
+
+    Muttering full many a curse, and fast
+      Homeward to slumber now they go;
+    Yet spite of all that now has passed,
+      You'll hear next night their hollo ho!
+
+    This is the Earl, and this his train,
+      That oft the awaken'd _Cockney_ hears;
+    With rage he glows in every vein
+      When the wild din invades his ears.
+
+    The dreaming maid sighs sad and oft,
+      That she her visions must forego,
+    When waken'd from her slumbers soft,
+      She hears the cry of hollo ho!

+                            SWISS PEASANT.
+
+            Turn we, to survey
+    Where rougher climes a nobler race display;
+    Where the bleak Swiss their stormy mansion tread,
+    And force a churlish soil for scanty bread,
+    Yet still, e'en here, Content can spread a charm,
+    Redress the clime, and all its rage disarm.
+    Though poor the peasant's hut his feast though small,
+    He sees his little lot, the lot of all;
+    Cheerful at morn, he wakes from short repose,
+    Breathes the keen air, and carrols as he goes.
+    At night returning, every labour sped,
+    He sits him down, the monarch of his shed;
+    Smiles by his cheerful fire, and round surveys,
+    His children's looks, that brighten at the blaze;
+    While his lov'd partner, boastful of her hoard,
+    Displays her cleanly platter on her board;
+    And haply too, some pilgrim, hither led,
+    With many a tale repays the nightly bed.

+
+                      THE SORROWS OF SWITZERLAND.
+
+    Helvetian vales! Where freedom fix'd her sway;
+    And all the social virtues lov'd to stray;
+    Soft blissful seats of undisturb'd repose,
+    Rever'd for ages by contending foes,
+    What envious demon, ranging to destroy,
+    Has marr'd your sports, and clos'd your song of joy?
+    What horrid yells the affrighted ear assail!
+    What screams of terror load the passing gale!
+    See ruffian hordes, with tiger rage advance,
+    The shame of manhood, and the boast of France!
+    See trampled, crush'd and torn in lustful strife
+    The loathing virgin and indignant wife!
+    While wanton carnage sweeps each crowded wood,
+    And all the mountain torrents swell with blood!
+    Lo! Where yon cliff projects its length of shade
+    O'er fields of death, a wounded chief is laid!
+    Around the desolated scene he throws
+    A look, that speaks insufferable woes:
+    Then starting from his trance of dumb despair,
+    Thus vents his anguish to the fleeting air:
+    "Dear native hills, amidst whose woodland maze,
+    I pass'd the tranquil morning of my days,
+    On whose green tops malignant planets scowl,
+    Where hell hounds ravage, and the furies howl;
+    Though chang'd, deform'd, still, still ye meet my view,
+    Ye still are left to hear my last adieu!
+    My friends, my children, gor'd with many a wound,
+    Whose mangled bodies strew the ensanguin'd ground,
+    To parch and stiffen in the blaze of day,
+    Consign'd to vultures, and to wolves a prey,
+    Your toils are past; no more ye wake to feel
+    Lust's savage gripe, or rapine's reeking steel!
+    And Thou, to whom my wedded faith was given,
+    On earth my solace, and my hope in heaven,
+    Approv'd in manhood, as in youth ador'd,
+    Belov'd while living, as in death deplor'd,
+    O stay thy flight! Around this dreary shore
+    A moment hover, and we part no more--
+    On thy poor corpse, thy bleeding husband hangs,
+    Counts all thy wounds, and feels thy ling'ring pangs--
+    O righteous fathers! Thou whose fostering care
+    Sustains creation, hear my dying prayer!
+    Look down, look down on this devoted land,
+    O'er my poor country stretch thy saving hand!
+    O let the blood that streaming to the skies,
+    Still flows in torrents--let that blood suffice!
+    To thee the dreadful recompense belongs--
+    To thy just vengeance I consign my wrongs;
+    O vindicate the rights of nation's sway,
+    And sweep the monsters from the blushing day!"

+                                POETRY.
+                               Original.
+
+Gentlemen,
+
+It has been remarked, that the poetick department of the Anthology
+abounds rather in selected than original productions; whether this be
+the result of choice or necessity, the following lines will not be
+considered inapplicable since they partake the nature of both
+characters, and hence, if in other respects worthy to appear, it is
+presumed they will not be rejected.
+
+
+                            FROM THE RUNIC.
+
+'The power of Musick is thus hyperbolically commemorated in one of the
+songs of the Runic Bards.'[45]
+
+I know a Song, by which I soften and enchant the arms of my enemies,
+and render their weapons of no effect.
+
+I know a Song, which I need only to sing when men have loaded me with
+bonds, for the moment I sing it, my chains fall in pieces, and I walk
+forth at liberty.
+
+I know a Song, useful to all mankind, for as soon as hatred inflames
+the sons of men, the moment I sing it they are appeased.
+
+I know a Song of such virtue, that were I caught in a storm, I can
+hush the winds and render the air perfectly calm.
+
+_Mo. Anthology_, IV-602, Nov. 1807, Boston.
+
+    [Footnote 45: See Godwin's _Life of Chaucer_.]
+
+
+                       THE SONG OF A RUNIC BARD.
+
+                      Imitated in English verse.
+
+                    I.
+
+    I know a Song, the magick of whose power
+    Can save the Warrior in destruction's hour;
+    From the fierce foe his falling vengeance charm,
+    And wrest the weapon from his nervous arm.
+
+                    II.
+
+    I know a Song, which, when in bonds I lay,
+    Broke from the grinding chain its links away.
+    While the sweet notes their swelling numbers rolled,
+    Back flew the bolts, the trembling gates unfold;
+    Free as the breeze the elastic limbs advance,
+    Course the far field, or braid the enlivening dance.
+
+                    III.
+
+    I know a Song, to mend the heart design'd,
+    Quenching the fiery passions of mankind;
+    When lurking hate and deadly rage combine,
+    To charm the serpent of revenge is mine;
+    By heavenly verse the furious deed restrain,
+    And bid the lost affections live again.
+
+                    IV.
+
+    I know a Song, which when the wild winds blow
+    To bend the monarchs of the forests low,
+    If to the lay my warbling voice incline,
+    Waking its various tones with skill divine,
+    Hush'd are the gales, the spirit of the storm
+    Calms his bleak breath, and smooths his furrow'd form,
+    The day look up, the dripping hills serene
+    Through the faint clouds exalt their sparkling green.

+                         THE SQUEAKING GHOST.
+
+A tale imitated from the German, according to the true and genuine
+principles of the horrifick.
+
+    The wind whistled loud! farmer Dobbin's wheat stack
+    Fell down! The rain beat 'gainst his door!
+    As he sat by the fire he heard the roof crack!
+    The cat 'gan to mew and to put up her back!
+      And the candle burnt--_just as before_!
+    The farmer exclaimed with a piteous sigh,
+      "To get rid of this curs'd noise and rout,
+    "Wife gi'e us some ale." His dame straight did cry,
+    Hemed and coughed three times three, then made this reply--
+      "I can't mun! Why? 'cause the cask's out!"
+    By the side of the fire sat Roger Gee-ho
+      Who had finished his daily vocation,
+    With Cicely, whose eyes were as black as a Sloe,
+    A damsel indeed who had never said No,
+      And because _she ne'er had an occasion_!
+    All these were alarmed by the loud piercing cries,
+      And were thrown in a terrible state,
+    Till open the door, with wide staring eyes,
+    They found to their joy, no less than surprise,
+      "_'Twas the old sow fast stuck in a gate!_"

+               THE SONG OF THE SWISS IN A STRANGE LAND.
+
+    O when shall I visit the land of my birth,
+    The loveliest land on the face of the earth?
+    When shall I those scenes of affection explore,
+        Our forests, our fountains,
+        Our hamlets, our mountains,
+    With the pride of our mountains, the maid I adore?
+    O when shall I dance on the daisy white mead,
+    In the shade of an elm, to the sound of the reed?
+
+    When shall I return to thy lowly retreat,
+    Where all my fond objects of tenderness meet?
+    The lambs and the heifers that follow my call;
+        My father, my mother,
+        My sister, my brother,
+    And dear Isabella, the joy of them all?
+    O when shall I visit the land of my birth?

+    And as you touch'd the trembling keys along,
+      Through lucid gems I saw you sadly smiling.
+
+    "Forget me not," ah! song of wo!
+      For never more our joys uniting,
+    With Sorrow's sigh no more to glow;
+    No more shall Pity's tear together flow,
+      Our love, our hopes, our joys forever blighting.
+
+    "Forget me not," oh! ever dear,

+
+    In the vallies yet lingered the shadows of night,
+      Though red on the glaciers the morning sun shone,
+    When our moss-covered church-tower first broke on my sight,
+      As I cross'd the vast oak o'er the cataract thrown.
+
+    For beyond that old church-tower, embosomed in pines,
+      Was the spot which contained all the bliss of my life,
+    Near yon grey granite rock, where the red ash reclines,
+      Stood the cottage where dwelt my loved children and wife.
+
+    Long since did the blasts of the war-trumpet cease,
+      The drum slept in silence, the colours were furled,
+    Serene over France rose the day-star of Peace,
+      And the beams of its splendour gave light to the world.
+
+    When near to the land of my fathers I drew,
+      And the drawn light her features of grandeur unveiled,
+    As I caught the first glimpse of her ice-mountains blue,
+      Our old native Alps with what rapture I hailed.
+
+    "Oh! soon, I exclaimed, will those mountains be passed,
+      And soon shall I stop at my own cottage door,
+    There my children's caresses will greet me at last,
+      And the arms of my wife will enfold me once more.
+
+    "While the fulness of joy leaves me powerless to speak,
+      Emotions which language can never define,
+    When her sweet tears of transport drop warm on my cheek,
+      And I feel her fond heart beat once more against mine.
+
+    "Then my boy, when our tumults of rapture subside,
+      Will anxiously ask how our soldiers have sped,
+    Will flourish my bay'net with infantile pride,
+      And exultingly place my plumed cap on his head.
+
+    "Then my sweet girl will boast how her chamois has grown;
+      And make him repeat all his antics with glee,
+    Then she'll haste to the vine that she claims as her own,
+      And fondly select its ripe clusters for me.
+
+    "And when round our fire we assemble at night,
+      With what interest they'll list to my tale of the war,
+    How our shining arms gleamed on St. Bernard's vast height,
+      While the clouds in white billows rolled under us far.
+
+    "Then I'll tell how the legions of Austria we braved,
+      How we fought on Marengo's victorious day,
+    When the colours of conquest dejectedly wave
+      Where streamed the last blood of the gallant Dessaix."
+
+    'Twas thus in fond fancy my bosom beat light
+      As I crossed the rude bridge where the wild waters roll,
+    When each well-known scene crowded fast on my sight,
+      And Hope's glowing visions came warm to my soul.
+
+    Through the pine-grove I hastened with footsteps of air
+      Already my lov'd ones I felt in embrace,
+    When I came--of my cot not a vestige was there--
+      But a hilloc of snow was heap'd high in its place.
+
+    The heart-rending story too soon did I hear--
+      An avalanche, loosed from the near mountain's side,
+    Our cottage o'erwhelmed in its thundering career,
+      And beneath it my wife and my children had died.

+
+    With sorrow of heart I draw near,
+      The tomb where my Werter's at rest,
+    Soft pity oh, give me a tear
+      I will lighten the woes of my breast.
+
+    Sleep on thou dear shade, rest in peace,
+      Undisturbed by the woes of my breast,
+    For sure the soft slumber would cease
+      If with grief you know me opprest.
+
+    The meadow, the valley, the field,

+      Nothing gayful or joyous to sight.
+
+    On the terrace I often remain,
+      And the loss of my Werter deplore,
+    While by the pale moon I complain,
+      Her beams, his loved image restore.
+
+    It was here the fond hope was inspired,
+      That with gladness enlivens my heart
+    That when this dull life is expired
+      We shall meet again never to part.
+
+    Yes, Werter, thy presage was just;
+      To cherish the hope be my care,
+    For should it forsake me, how must
+      I combat with grief and despair.

+
+To those who have admired the singular poems of Lewis, Walter Scott,
+and others, under the whimsical titles of "The Cloud-King," "The
+Fire-King," etc., the following burlesque ballad may afford some
+amusement.
+
+                            THE PAINT-KING.
+
+    Fair Ellen, was once the delight of the young;
+      No damsel could with her compare;
+    Her charms were the theme of the heart and the tongue,
+    And bards without number in extacies sung
+      The beauties of Ellen, the Fair.
+
+    But Ellen, though lovers in regiments threw
+      The darts of their eyes at her heart,
+    From the sorrow no pitying sympathy knew;
+    For, cold as an icicle-shower, they drew
+      Not a drop from that petrified part.
+
+    Yet still did the heart of fair Ellen implore
+      A something that could not be found;
+    Like a sailor it seem'd on a desolate shore,
+    With nor house, nor a tree, nor a sound, but the roar
+      Of breakers high-dashing around.
+
+    From object to object, still, still would she stray
+      Yet nothing, alas! could she find;
+    Through Novelty's mazes she rambled all day,
+    And even at midnight, so restless, they say,
+      In sleep would run after the wind.
+
+    Nay, rather than sit like a statue so still,
+      When the rain made her mansion a pound,
+    Up and down would she go like the sails of a mill,
+    And pat every stair, like a wood-pecker's bill,
+      From the tiles of the roof to the ground.
+
+    One morn, as the maid from her casement reclin'd,
+      Pass'd a youth with a frame in his hand.
+    The casement she clos'd; not the eye of her mind;
+    For do all she could, no, she could not be blind;
+      Still before her she saw the youth stand.
+
+    "And what can he do," said the maid with a sigh,
+      "Ah! what with that frame can he do?
+    I wish I could know it." When suddenly by
+    The youth pass'd again; and again did her eye
+      The frame, and a sweet picture view.
+
+    "Oh! sweet, lovely picture!" the fair Ellen sigh'd,
+      "I must see thee again or I die;"
+    Then under her white chin her bonnet she tied,
+    And after the youth and the picture she hied,
+      Till the youth, looking back, met her eye.
+
+    "Fair damsel," said he (and he chuckled the while),
+      "This picture, I see, you admire;
+    Then take it, I beg you, perhaps 'twill beguile
+    Some moments of sorrow: (pray pardon my smile)
+      Or, at least, keep you home by the fire."
+
+    Then Ellen the gift, with delight and surprise,
+      From the cunning young stripling receiv'd.
+    But she knew not the poison that enter'd her eyes,
+    When beaming with rapture they gazed on her prize:
+      Yet thus was fair Ellen deceiv'd!
+
+    'Twas a youth o'er the form of a statue inclin'd;
+      And the sculptor he seem'd of the stone;
+    Yet he languish'd, as though for its beauty he pin'd,
+    And gaz'd, as the eyes of the statue so blind
+      Reflected the beams of his own.
+
+    'Twas the tale of the sculptor, Pygmalion of old;
+      Fair Ellen remember'd and sigh'd,
+    "Ah! could'st thou but lift from that marble so cold,
+    Thine eyes so enchanting, thy arms should enfold,
+      And press me this day as thy bride."
+
+    She said: when, behold, from the canvass arose
+      The youth ... and he stepp'd from the frame;
+    With a furious joy, his arms did enclose
+    The love-plighted Ellen; and, clasping, he froze
+      The blood of the maid with his flame!
+
+    She turn'd and beheld on each shoulder a wing
+      "Oh! heaven!" cried she, "who art thou?"
+    From the roof to the ground did his fierce answer ring,
+    When frowning, he thunder'd, "I am the Paint-King!
+      And mine, lovely maid, thou art now!"
+
+    Then high from the ground did the grim monster lift
+      The loud-screaming maid, like a blast;
+    And he sped through the air, like a meteor swift,
+    While the clouds, wand'ring by him, did fearfully drift
+      To the right and the left as he pass'd.
+
+    Now, suddenly sloping his hurricane flight,
+      With an eddying whirl he descends;
+    The air all below him becomes black as night,
+    And the ground where he treads, as if mov'd with affright,
+      Like the surge of the Caspian bends.
+
+    "I am here!" said the fiend, and he thundering knock'd
+      At the gates of a mountainous cave:
+    The gates open'd wide, as by magick unlock'd,
+    While the peaks of the mount, reeling to and fro, rock'd,
+      Like an island of ice on the wave.
+
+    "Oh! mercy!" cried Ellen, and swoon'd in his arms.
+      But the Paint-King, he scoff'd at her pain.
+    "Prithee, love," said the monster, "what mean these alarms?"
+    She hears not, she sees not the terrible charms
+      That wake her to horror again.
+
+    She opens her lids; but no longer her eyes
+      Behold the fair youth she would woo:
+    Now appears the Paint-King in his natural guise;
+    His face, like a palette of villainous dies,
+      Black and white, red and yellow, and blue.
+
+    On a bright polish'd throne, of prismatical[47] spar,
+      Sat the mosaick fiend like a clod;
+    While he rear'd in his mouth a gigantick cigar
+    Twice as big as the light-house, though seen from afar,
+      On the coast of the stormy Cape Cod.
+
+    And anon, as he puff'd the vast volumes, were seen,
+      In horrid festoons on the wall,
+    Legs and arms, head and bodies, emerging between;
+    Like the drawing room grim of the Scotch Sawney Beane,
+      By the Devil dress'd out for a ball.
+
+    "Ah me!" cried the damsel, and fell at his feet,
+      "Must I hang on these walls to be dried?"
+    "Oh, no!" said the fiend, while he sprung from his seat,
+    "A far nobler fortune thy person shall meet;
+      Into paint will I grind thee, my bride!"
+
+    Then, seizing the maid by her dark auburn hair,
+      An oil-jug he plung'd her within.
+    Seven days, seven nights, with the shrieks of despair
+    Did Ellen in torment convulse the dim air,
+      All cover'd with oil to the chin.
+
+    On the morn of the eighth on a huge sable stone
+      Then Ellen, all reeking, he laid;
+    With a rock for his muller, he crush'd every bone;
+    But though ground to jelly, still, still did she groan;
+      For life had forsook not the maid.
+
+    Now reaching his palette with masterly care,
+      Each tint on the surface he spread;
+    The blue of her eyes, and the brown of her hair,
+    The pearl and the white of her forehead so fair
+      And her lips' and her cheeks' rosy red.
+
+    Then stamping his foot, did the monster exclaim,
+      "Now I brave, cruel Fairy, thy scorn!"
+    When lo! from a chasm unfathom'd there came
+    A small tiny chariot of rose-colour'd flame,
+      By a team of ten glowworms upborne.
+
+    Enthron'd in the midst on an emerald bright,
+      Fair Geraldine sat without peer;
+    Her robe was the gleam of the first blush of light,
+    And her mantle the fleece of a noon-cloud white,
+      And a beam of the moon was her spear.
+
+    In a voice that stole on the still charmed air,
+      Like the first gentle accent of Eve,
+    Thus spake from her chariot the Fairy so fair:
+    "I come at thy call ... but, oh Paint-King! beware,
+      Beware if again you deceive."
+
+    "'Tis true," said the monster, "thou queen of my heart!
+      Thy portrait I oft have essay'd;
+    Yet ne'er to the canvass could I with my art
+    The least of thy wonderful beauties impart;
+      And my failure with scorn you repaid.
+
+    "Now I swear, by the light of the Comet-King's tail!"
+      And he tower'd with pride as he spoke,
+    "If again with these magical colours I fail,
+    The crater of Etna shall hence be my jail,
+      And my food shall be sulphur and smoke.
+
+    "But if I succeed, then, oh! fair Geraldine!
+      Thy promise with rapture, I claim,
+    And thou, queen of Fairies, shalt ever be mine
+    The bride of my bed; and thy portrait divine
+      Shall fill all the earth with my fame."
+
+    He spake; when, behold the fair Geraldine's form
+      On the canvass enchantingly glow'd;
+    His touches, they flew like the leaves in a storm;
+    And the pure, pearly white, and the carnation warm,
+      Contending in harmony, flow'd.
+
+    And now did the portrait a twin-sister seem
+      To the figure of Geraldine fair:
+    With the same sweet expression did faithfully teem
+    Each muscle, each feature; in short, not a gleam
+      Was lost of her beautiful hair.
+
+    'Twas the Fairy herself! but, alas! her blue eyes
+      Still a pupil did ruefully lack;
+    And who shall describe the terrifick surprise
+    That seized the Paint-King, when, behold, he descries
+      Not a speck on his palette of black.
+
+    "I am lost!" said the fiend, and he shook like a leaf;
+      When, casting his eyes to the ground,
+    He saw the lost pupils of Ellen with grief
+    In the jaws of a mouse, and the sly little thief
+      Whisk away from his sight with a bound.
+
+    "I am lost!" said the fiend, and he fell like a stone:
+      Then rising the Fairy in ire,
+    With a touch of her finger she loosen'd her zone,
+    (While the limbs on the wall gave a terrible groan!)
+      And she swell'd to a column of fire.
+
+    Her spear now a thunder-bolt flash'd in the air,
+      And sulphur the vault fill'd around:
+    She smote the grim monster; and now by the hair
+    High lifting, she hurl'd him in speechless despair
+      Down the depths of the chasm profound.
+
+    Then waving, with smiles, o'er the picture her spear,
+      "Come forth!" said the good Geraldine;
+    When, behold, from the canvass fair Ellen appear!
+    In feature, in person more lovely than e'er,
+      With grace more than ever divine!

+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+https://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered

+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+<p>The present study is an extension of a thesis, presented to the
+Faculty of the Department of Philosophy of the University of Pennsylvania
+in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of
+Doctor of Philosophy. The object has been to treat the material in
+the early American magazines which gave readers information about
+Germany and other Teutonic countries. While the primary aim has
+been to discuss the translations of poetry and the original poems
+bearing on the subject, all relevant prose articles have also been
+listed. Since many of the magazines used are extremely rare and
+almost unique, the texts from them are here reprinted in order to
+make such information accessible. As some of the translations and
+poems, however, have been traced to Thomas Campbell, Sir Walter
+Scott, William Wordsworth, Thomas Gray and others, whose works
+are to be found in almost any library, reprinting was unnecessary
+in these cases. M.&nbsp;G. Lewis' <i>Tales of Terror and Wonder</i> has
+had, besides many early imprints, a recent edition by Henry Morley
+in 1887 and the poems from it that appeared in the American magazines
+are here mentioned by title only, the one exception being <i>The
+Erl-King</i>, which is included because of several variants. Long
+poems like <i>The Wanderer of Switzerland</i> (which itself would make
+a small book) are not reprinted.</p>
+
+<p>Parts II to V are arranged chronologically, so as to show the
+gradual growth of the German influence. Translations and poems
+are therefore reprinted under the date of their first appearance; later
+publications of them in the magazines are here recorded simply by
+title, with a note giving the earliest date. The texts are reprinted
+exactly as they appeared in the early American periodicals, thus presenting
+the information about Germany in the same form in which
+readers of a century ago received it. Mistakes are often interesting
+as illustrative of an ignorance about German names and words.
+Only the most evident typographical errors have been corrected,
+such as "spweep" for "sweep," "bilssful" for "blissful," and<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_viii" id="Page_viii">[viii]</a></span>
+"fustain" for "sustain." Differences due to eighteenth century
+orthography are retained.</p>
+
+<p>The subject has been investigated to the end of the year 1840, but
+this volume treats only the period ending with 1810. Often for the
+sake of complete lists, however, poems of a later date are mentioned.
+Throughout Parts II to V, notes by the present author, except mention
+of sources from which the reprints are made, are inclosed in
+brackets.</p>
+
+<p>The courtesy and assistance rendered in obtaining the magazines
+make me indebted to the attendants in the various libraries visited,
+particularly to Mr. Allan B. Slauson, of the Library of Congress.
+I wish to thank Professor Daniel B. Shumway, of the University
+of Pennsylvania, for helpful criticism, and Professor John L. Haney,
+of the Philadelphia Central High School, for valuable information
+about the German literary influence in England during the period
+under discussion and for improvements suggested in the preparation
+of the Introduction.</p>
+
+<p>I am especially indebted to Professor Marion D. Learned, of the
+University of Pennsylvania, at whose suggestion and under whose
+inspiration the present investigation has been carried on.</p>

+
+
+<p>The important influence which German literature has exercised on
+American culture and literature extends from the early part of the
+nineteenth century. This influence was, in a measure, a continuation
+of the interest and activity that had existed in England during the
+last quarter of the eighteenth century. Prior to 1790, numerous
+translations from Gellert, Wieland, Klopstock, Lessing, Goethe and
+Schiller appeared from time to time, but it was not until William
+Taylor of Norwich began to write, that the movement, which culminated
+in the works of Coleridge, Carlyle and others, assumed
+definite form.<a name="FNanchor_1_1" id="FNanchor_1_1"></a><a href="#Footnote_1_1" class="fnanchor">[1]</a></p>
+
+<p>American literature at this time was still subservient to that of
+England and it is not surprising that the new literary impulse from
+Germany should have found reflection on this side of the Atlantic.
+This foreign influence was further aided by direct contact with Europe.
+By the second or third decade of the last century the studies
+of American scholars abroad became an important factor in our intellectual
+development. In 1819 Edward Everett returned from
+Europe to become professor of Greek at Harvard University. He
+had studied at the University of G&ouml;ttingen, where he had become
+enthusiastic for the methods of German scholarship. While in
+Europe he secured for Harvard College a large number of German
+books, which soon proved to be a stimulus to the students of the
+institution. In 1823 W.&nbsp;E. Channing in his <i>Remarks on National
+Literature</i> advocated the study of French and German authors, so
+that our literature might attain a position of independence from that
+of England.<a name="FNanchor_2_2" id="FNanchor_2_2"></a><a href="#Footnote_2_2" class="fnanchor">[2]</a> Two years later, in 1825, Karl Follen entered upon
+his duties at Harvard College as instructor in German.<a name="FNanchor_3_3" id="FNanchor_3_3"></a><a href="#Footnote_3_3" class="fnanchor">[3]</a></p>
+
+<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_2" id="Page_2">[2]</a></span>Before Edward Everett went abroad to study, however, American
+scholars had begun to seek wider cultural advantages at the centres
+of learning in Europe.<a name="FNanchor_4_4" id="FNanchor_4_4"></a><a href="#Footnote_4_4" class="fnanchor">[4]</a> They were mostly theological students, or
+men more or less closely connected with the diplomatic service. The
+most prominent among the latter class was John Quincy Adams, who
+spent several years in Europe. His interest in German literature is
+shown by the fact that he translated Wieland's <i>Oberon</i>, which however
+was not published, because Sotheby's translation had just appeared
+in London.<a name="FNanchor_5_5" id="FNanchor_5_5"></a><a href="#Footnote_5_5" class="fnanchor">[5]</a></p>
+
+<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_3" id="Page_3">[3]</a></span>A little later, in 1809, Alexander Hill Everett went to Russia as
+secretary to the legation and spent several years in different cities
+on the continent.<a name="FNanchor_6_6" id="FNanchor_6_6"></a><a href="#Footnote_6_6" class="fnanchor">[6]</a> George Ticknor visited Germany in 1815 to prepare
+for his duties as professor of modern languages at Harvard;
+and George Bancroft, after graduating from college in 1817, studied
+for five years at G&ouml;ttingen, Heidelberg and Berlin. Henry E.
+Dwight was at G&ouml;ttingen from 1824-1828 and in the next year
+published in New York <i>Travels in the North of Germany, 1825-6</i>.
+It was about this time that James Fenimore Cooper began his
+European travels, which lasted from 1826 to 1833.<a name="FNanchor_7_7" id="FNanchor_7_7"></a><a href="#Footnote_7_7" class="fnanchor">[7]</a> Thus, American
+scholars had been acquiring German thought and culture at first
+hand, before Longfellow or Emerson went abroad for the first time.
+With these two the German influence in America reached its height&mdash;Longfellow
+in literature, and Emerson in his transcendental
+philosophy.</p>
+
+<p>This was the second channel by which German literature became
+known in this country. The first, as has already been indicated,
+came indirectly through England. There, considerable activity in
+this line had been manifest since 1790. Books of translations were
+published and the magazines contained many fugitive pieces from
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_4" id="Page_4">[4]</a></span>the German. It is chiefly a reflex of this interest that we find in
+American periodicals to the end of 1810.</p>
+
+<p>In America, likewise, German literature was made known to English
+readers by means of translations either in book form or in the
+magazines. The subject of translations in book form has been
+treated in the recent article by Wilkens already mentioned. He discusses
+German drama, fiction, poetry, philosophy, theology and
+pedagogy, and gives in an appendix "A List of the Translations of
+German Literature that were printed in the United States before
+1826." These books, however, were not the first means of introducing
+German authors to American readers. The first mention of
+this foreign literature we find, as a rule, in the magazines. Here
+are numerous accounts of the lives of German writers, criticism of
+their books, notices of editions (English or American) and besides
+these, many translations of poetry and the shorter prose works.
+These articles or translations do not, of course, antedate the earliest
+appearance of the same works in England, but it is safe to say that
+whatever information on German literature was offered in the American
+magazines reached the American public sooner than the copies
+of an English book sent over here to be sold. Many readers learned
+to know foreign literature through the medium of the periodicals
+who would not think of purchasing all the books, of which they had
+read reviews or selections. This was especially true of the poetry.
+The prose works were usually too long for republication in the magazines
+and could be announced only through critiques or abstracts.
+Even here, however, some of the longer pieces appeared, such as
+<i>The Apparitionist</i> (Schiller's <i>Geisterseher</i>) in the <i>N.&nbsp;Y. Weekly
+Mag.</i>, I-16, etc., 1795, N.&nbsp;Y., and in the same magazine II-4, etc.,
+Tschink's <i>Victim of Magical Delusion</i>, while <i>The Mirror of Taste
+and Dramatic Censor</i>, I, 1810, contains <i>Emilia Galotti</i>, translated by
+Miss Fanny Holcroft. These prose pieces, being long, were continued
+from number to number, but for the poetry this was not necessary.
+Poems of the size of Klopstock's <i>Messiah</i> or Gessner's
+<i>Death of Abel</i> appeared in the magazines only in selections or extracts,
+while on the other hand most of the lyric poems, being short,
+could very easily be reprinted entire in translation. With hardly an
+exception, the short poems of German authors appeared in America
+in the periodicals some time before they were issued in book form;
+for example, the earliest publication of Gessner's <i>Idyls</i> mentioned<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_5" id="Page_5">[5]</a></span>
+by Wilkens was in 1802,<a name="FNanchor_8_8" id="FNanchor_8_8"></a><a href="#Footnote_8_8" class="fnanchor">[8]</a> whereas single idyls had been translated
+for the magazines in 1774, 1775, 1792, 1795, 1798, 1799, two in 1793,
+three in 1796 and five in 1801. Similarly, the first American imprint
+of M.&nbsp;G. Lewis' <i>Tales of Wonder</i> was issued in New York in
+1801, while five selections in it had already appeared in the <i>Weekly
+Mag.</i>, 1798-9, Phila.<a name="FNanchor_9_9" id="FNanchor_9_9"></a><a href="#Footnote_9_9" class="fnanchor">[9]</a> In addition to these there were found in the
+American magazines before 1811, ten translations from B&uuml;rger,
+eight from Gellert, five from Lessing, four from Haller, three from
+Goethe, two each from Jacobi, Klopstock, Matthisson and Schickaneder,
+and one each from "Adelio," B&uuml;rde, Kotzebue, Patzke,
+"Sheller," and "Van Vander Horderclogeth," together with several
+translations, for which the name of the original author was not given.
+None of these were printed in book form before 1826.<a name="FNanchor_10_10" id="FNanchor_10_10"></a><a href="#Footnote_10_10" class="fnanchor">[10]</a></p>
+
+<p>The first translations of German poetry printed in America are to
+be sought, therefore, in the magazines and it was here also that the
+public received its first information about the lives of the German
+literati. It is the object of the present study to consider the German
+influence in the early American periodicals, treating especially the
+translations of German poetry published in them.<a name="FNanchor_11_11" id="FNanchor_11_11"></a><a href="#Footnote_11_11" class="fnanchor">[11]</a> Together with
+these are to be found in Part III translations from the other Teutonic
+literatures more or less closely connected with the German,
+namely, translations of Dutch, Danish, Norwegian and Icelandic
+poetry, and also original poems on German literature, history, biography,
+etc.,&mdash;for example, <i>Ode on the late Victory obtained by the
+King of Prussia</i>, <i>Charlotte's Soliloquy&mdash;to the Manes of Werter</i>, and
+<i>Burlesque on the Style, in which most of the German romantic Ballads
+are written</i>. To this has been added a list of translations of
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">[6]</a></span>German prose, and a list of original articles on Germany, etc., so that
+a complete estimate of the German influence in these magazines can
+thus be obtained.</p>
+
+<p>The scope of the present work comprises the American magazines
+published before 1811. By the term "American magazines" is
+meant all magazines published in English, whether in the United
+States or Canada. Periodicals in German, Spanish, French or other
+foreign languages have been excluded. In as much as the study is
+primarily concerned with literature it has been necessary, on account
+of the great scope of the subject, to omit publications of a non-literary
+type, e.&nbsp;g., newspapers, gazettes, periodicals dealing solely with
+history, religious magazines, almanacs, etc. This method of exclusion
+is not an easy one, for during the period under discussion the
+magazine and the newspaper approached each other, the former
+printed news and the latter gave specimens of literature, usually short
+poems. It happened sometimes that a translation which appeared
+in a magazine had been printed first in a newspaper. For example,
+<i>The Name Unknown</i>, "Imitated from Klopstock's ode to his future
+mistress. By Thomas Campbell," is to be found in the <i>Newport
+Mercury</i>, 1803, Newport, just three years before it was printed in
+<i>The Evening Fireside</i>, II-165, Phila. This illustrates the importance
+of the newspaper in this connection, especially since the latter
+contained also numerous paragraphs on things German, but it is a
+field for separate investigation and in this connection must take second
+place as compared with the literary periodicals.</p>
+
+<p>Similarly the religious magazines often contain poems relative to
+our subject, so that it has been necessary to include some of these
+publications. Thus, the <i>Boston Observer and Religious Intelligencer</i>,
+I-152, 1835, Boston, contains the poem <i>Trust in God</i>, "Translated
+from the German," whereas others indicate on their title page their
+dual character, e.&nbsp;g., <i>The Literary and Theological Review</i>, 1834-39,
+N.&nbsp;Y., <i>The Monthly Miscellany of Religion and Letters</i>, 1839, etc.,
+Boston, and <i>The Monthly Mag. of Religion and Literature</i>, 1840,
+Gettysburg. Most of the religious magazines, however, belong to
+the period after 1810.</p>
+
+<p>Lastly, even some of the almanacs come almost within the range
+of the present discussion, for the earlier ones have poems<a name="FNanchor_12_12" id="FNanchor_12_12"></a><a href="#Footnote_12_12" class="fnanchor">[12]</a> and interesting
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_7" id="Page_7">[7]</a></span>information, and were carefully read by the general public.
+Most of these had their vogue before the literary magazine became
+prominent and therefore represent a period before the German literary
+influence had made itself felt. Of those that were examined,
+none contained material to warrant their inclusion in the list given
+in Part V.</p>
+
+<p>Whenever periodicals were found to be of the types just mentioned,
+they were omitted from further consideration. There are
+two other kinds of publications, however, that have been included in
+the present investigation. The first is the English magazine reprinted
+in this country. Since it is impossible to exclude all translations
+in American magazines made by Englishmen&mdash;as will be
+shown later on&mdash;it has been found practical to take, as the basis of
+selection, all periodicals actually published on this side of the Atlantic.
+The only examples of this class that fall within our period are
+<i>The Mirror</i>, I-II, 1803, Phila.&mdash;a reprint of a magazine of the same
+name, that appeared in Edinburgh, 1779-1780, <i>The Connoisseur</i>,
+I-IV, 1803, Phila. (London, 1755) and <i>The Quarterly Review</i>,
+I-IV, printed in London and reprinted in New York, 1810. In some
+instances the material in the American edition differs from that of
+the English, so that it is quite necessary to include this class of
+periodicals.</p>
+
+<p>The other type of publications, alluded to, is the miscellany. It
+contained poems, prose selections and articles on a wide range of
+subjects. It differed from the magazine simply in one respect,
+namely, that it was issued with less regularity. It offers, however,
+valuable additions to the present collection.<a name="FNanchor_13_13" id="FNanchor_13_13"></a><a href="#Footnote_13_13" class="fnanchor">[13]</a> Thus, even by omitting
+all irrelevant publications, the field is a broad one and rich in important
+material.</p>
+
+<p>In any investigation of the early American magazines the difficulty
+of locating copies is apparent. The editions of many of these periodicals
+were small, especially if issued from the less important literary
+centers; so that now, after the lapse of a hundred years, their
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_8" id="Page_8">[8]</a></span>volumes are extremely hard to trace. Another fact that aided in
+the disappearance of these publications was their short existence. If
+a periodical, like the <i>American Museum</i> or the <i>Port Folio</i>, ran for a
+number of years, it became well known and its volumes were carefully
+preserved. The libraries attempted to get complete sets and
+thus the magazine was made accessible for future generations. A
+large number of these magazines, however, had a precarious existence
+for a year or more, and then were discontinued for lack of support.
+Indeed, the many failures among these literary ventures cause
+one to wonder why others were undertaken, and yet year after year
+new magazines were launched on the market with full anticipation
+of success. This certainly indicates a widespread demand for this
+class of literature and if the kind offered did not happen to suit
+the taste, the fickle public was constantly deserting the old for the
+new.</p>
+
+<p>The investigator is moreover impeded in his progress by lack of
+definite and trustworthy information about these publications. There
+is no complete list of the American magazines during the years under
+discussion, although work has been done on the period to the end of
+1800. Paul Leicester Ford published a <i>Check-list of American magazines
+printed in the eighteenth century</i> (1889, Brooklyn, N.&nbsp;Y.).
+This was an attempt to list all publications referred to by any writer,
+whether accessible or not. The present investigation, however, has
+brought to light thirty-five or forty volumes of magazines (including
+twenty new titles), evidently unknown to Ford, not to speak of
+several newspapers of more or less literary value; but the latter seem
+to have been omitted intentionally from the <i>Check-list</i>.</p>
+
+<p>Even the magazines of Philadelphia, the literary center of the
+country during the eighteenth century, have not been listed. "A
+complete list of the Philadelphia magazines is impossible. Many of
+them have disappeared and left not a rack behind. The special student
+of Pennsylvania history will detect some omissions in these
+pages, for all that has here been done has been done at first hand,
+and where a magazine was inaccessible to me, I have not attempted
+to see it through the eyes of a more fortunate investigator."<a name="FNanchor_14_14" id="FNanchor_14_14"></a><a href="#Footnote_14_14" class="fnanchor">[14]</a> What
+is here said of Philadelphia is equally true of Boston, New York,
+Baltimore and the other centers of literary activity of a century ago.</p>
+
+<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_9" id="Page_9">[9]</a></span>
+In spite of the difficulties just mentioned it has been possible, after
+an extended search, to find enough volumes of the magazines to form
+an almost complete list for the period in question. What omissions
+there may be are, for the most part, obscure and unimportant publications,
+which failed to attract enough attention to be included in
+the large collections of this class of literature. One condition favored
+the preservation of the American magazines; there were a few
+institutions, like the Philadelphia Library Company, the American
+Philosophical Society, and others, which were in existence during
+the period when most of these publications were issued. It has
+been possible for them to amass a fairly representative collection of
+contemporaneous literature. On the other hand, more recent institutions,
+like the Boston Public Library or the Library of Congress,
+have displayed such industry in collecting, that they now have splendid
+lists of these early periodicals.</p>
+
+<p>The plan of the present investigation has been, therefore, to visit
+those libraries where large numbers of the books needed are located
+and thus, by combining the material secured in the different places,
+to approach as near as possible to completeness. One library fills
+out the gaps of another and it often happens that, in order to see the
+entire set of a magazine, it is necessary to visit three or four libraries.
+A record has been kept as to where the individual volumes are, but
+as useful as this information might be for those working in the same
+or in a kindred field it has been found too complex to be indicated
+in the list of magazines given in Part V.<a name="FNanchor_15_15" id="FNanchor_15_15"></a><a href="#Footnote_15_15" class="fnanchor">[15]</a> The material here included
+is based on a personal examination of about three hundred
+volumes representing one hundred and twenty-eight different magazines.</p>
+
+<p>In treating the German influence in the American magazines, it is
+important to consider the position which the magazine held during
+this early period. Difference in conditions enabled the periodical to
+play quite a different r&ocirc;le from that which it now plays. In the
+eighteenth century, as compared with the present day, free libraries
+were scarce and readers had to depend largely on the books they
+could buy or borrow. Then, too, books were expensive, because
+many had to be imported from abroad, and those printed here could
+not be sold as cheaply as now. These conditions favored the magazines,
+which were inexpensive and furnished to their readers, besides
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_10" id="Page_10">[10]</a></span>original matter, republications of the best literature of Europe.
+They kept the public abreast with the times and supplied the place
+now occupied by the numerous libraries and books which can be
+purchased at a moderate cost.</p>
+
+<p>Another element which the magazine of a century ago did not have
+to contend with so vigorously was the newspaper. The modern
+newspaper is becoming larger and larger, and is making increased
+demand every day on the time and interest of the public. In the
+eighteenth century and the first decade of the nineteenth this was
+not the case. To be sure, there were many newspapers, gazettes and
+advertisers, but they were comparatively small in size, consisting
+usually of only four or six pages. "At the period of the American
+Revolution, journalism had nowhere reached [an] advanced stage
+of effectiveness. In America, especially, the newspapers were petty,
+dingy, languid, inadequate affairs; and the department of the newspaper
+now devoted to editorial writing, then scarcely existed at all."<a name="FNanchor_16_16" id="FNanchor_16_16"></a><a href="#Footnote_16_16" class="fnanchor">[16]</a>
+Many editors considered the news available to be sufficient merely
+for a weekly instead of a daily issue. This is not surprising. With
+the absence of the modern telegraph, telephone, ocean cable and
+steam railroad the facility for getting news from a distance was
+greatly diminished. Then, too, as the population of the country was
+much smaller than now, the most important domestic news could be
+told in a few columns. All this tended to keep the newspapers
+within moderate proportions, and although they were numerous, it
+is safe to say that they did not make such a demand on the reader's
+time as to divert his attention from a more serious kind of literature.
+People had, therefore, plenty of leisure for careful perusal of the
+magazines, and these, by giving in many cases a summary of the
+news, decreased the necessity for the newspaper. For advertisements
+and business announcements the gazettes and advertisers were
+the main source, but for general information and current literature
+persons did not have to devote so much attention to the newspaper.</p>
+
+<p>As far as can be learned, the magazine in this early period was
+regarded in a more serious light than to-day. It was not a means
+to while away an idle hour&mdash;something to be glanced at hastily and
+then thrown aside. The editors attempted, on the contrary, to give
+the best literature at their disposal, whether original or reprint, and
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11">[11]</a></span>endeavored to improve the public taste by selecting matter that would
+be acceptable to a scholarly audience. "A striking difference between
+the older magazine and the recent ones is the conspicuous
+absence from the journal of a century ago of what is commonly called
+'light literature.'"<a name="FNanchor_17_17" id="FNanchor_17_17"></a><a href="#Footnote_17_17" class="fnanchor">[17]</a></p>
+
+<p>Tyler mentions the same conditions. "Our colonial journalism
+soon became, in itself, a really important literary force. It could
+not remain forever a mere disseminator of public gossip, or a placard
+for the display of advertisements. The instinct of critical and brave
+debate was strong even among those puny editors, and it kept struggling
+for expression. Moreover, each editor was surrounded by a
+coterie of friends, with active brains and a propensity to utterance;
+and these constituted a sort of unpaid staff of editorial contributors,
+who, in various forms,&mdash;in letters, essays, anecdotes, epigrams,
+poems, lampoons,&mdash;helped to give vivacity and even literary value
+to the paper."<a name="FNanchor_18_18" id="FNanchor_18_18"></a><a href="#Footnote_18_18" class="fnanchor">[18]</a></p>
+
+<p>Considering these facts, it is seen that the magazines of the period
+under discussion played a more important r&ocirc;le in the cultural development
+of the people than they do now. They were not as numerous,
+nor were so many copies of each number issued then as now,
+but the population was also much smaller, and consequently a smaller
+number of periodicals sufficed, although relatively they may have
+been as numerous. One thing seems certain,&mdash;in the absence of so
+much other reading matter, the magazine went into the home and
+was perused with care by the different members of the household.
+We have only to refer to the attention given to the almanacs during
+a period slightly earlier, and these did not attempt to present as much
+entertaining literature as the magazines. The prominence of these
+literary periodicals in the development of American thought and culture
+is usually overlooked, but should certainly be recognized in the
+history of literature in America.</p>
+
+<p>All this is very pertinent to the subject. The importance of the
+translations and poems, here reprinted, in bringing things German
+before the American public depends naturally upon the importance
+of the channel by which they were introduced. From what has just
+been said, it is evident that the magazine not only had a wider and
+freer scope then than now, but also attempted to preserve as high
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_12" id="Page_12">[12]</a></span>a literary and scholarly standard as was possible for that day. What
+was admitted to its pages had therefore considerable weight and influence,
+and became known at once as far as the magazine circulated.
+It is for this reason that the appearance of so many poems and prose
+articles relating to the German countries becomes so important, and
+the interest here aroused was to increase many fold in the decades
+immediately following.</p>
+
+<p>The publication of translations of German poetry in the American
+magazines indicates a twofold activity. In the first place it shows
+active interest and enthusiasm on the part of a few individuals who
+read and appreciated German literature and who had the ability not
+only to understand the foreign poetry but also to translate it for
+their fellow countrymen. How many there were who could read the
+original, it is impossible to say, but these translators were certainly
+only a small part of the Americans who understood German. In the
+second place the appearance of German poems in the magazines indicates
+a growing acquaintance with German literature, on the part
+of the public at large. From the fact that the number of translations
+increased from year to year we may infer that they found favor in
+the eyes of the readers. Even if the circulation of the individual
+magazines was small, the combined effect of so many must have been
+considerable.</p>
+
+<p>It may seem at first thought that relatively few poems have been
+collected in proportion to the ground covered.<a name="FNanchor_19_19" id="FNanchor_19_19"></a><a href="#Footnote_19_19" class="fnanchor">[19]</a> There is a limitation,
+however, that must not be overlooked. Only a small part of
+each magazine was devoted to poetry and, after the original productions
+and the republications of English verse (which naturally received
+first consideration), German could only hope for its share
+along with the other foreign literatures. It is remarkable how many
+foreign literatures are represented in the sections of these magazines
+devoted to poetry. There are translations from the Latin, French,
+German, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Norse (Icelandic), Italian,
+Spanish, Portuguese, Irish, Welsh, Greek, Laplandish, Persian and
+Turkish. In all this mass of translations, German ranks perhaps
+third as regards quantity; it is exceeded only by the Latin and
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_13" id="Page_13">[13]</a></span>French.<a name="FNanchor_20_20" id="FNanchor_20_20"></a><a href="#Footnote_20_20" class="fnanchor">[20]</a> This is true, however, only for the period to the end of
+1810. The situation in the three succeeding decades is very different,
+but will be discussed at a later time.</p>
+
+<p>There is another reason why these magazines did not contain more
+translations from the German. The period under consideration coincides
+very closely with the classical epoch of German literature and
+many of the masterpieces were not issued until near the end. <i>Hermann
+und Dorothea</i> appeared in 1797 and <i>Wallenstein</i> three years
+later, while <i>Wilhelm Tell</i> was not finished until 1804 and the completed
+<i>Faust</i> (first and second parts) was published twenty-three
+years after the period closes. The dates of much of the classical
+German literature precluded the possibility of its being translated
+until two thirds of the period had passed. However valuable these
+works are, it is not remarkable that they should not have become
+known immediately on this side of the Atlantic. For the Germans
+here, the originals were all that were needed, and it naturally took
+some time for the English part of the population to realize the worth
+of the books and to demand translations. These causes, then, prevented
+the German influence in the magazines from assuming larger
+proportions.</p>
+
+<p>The period treated in the present study is from 1741 to 1810 inclusive.
+The year 1741 is chosen as marking the beginning of the
+American periodicals of a literary type. The publications of an
+earlier date that were examined were devoted almost entirely to news,
+or were almanacs that contained no literary material, for example,
+the <i>New England Kalendar</i>, I, 1706, Boston, or the <i>New Weekly
+Journal</i>, 1728, Boston. These have been omitted from the list. It
+is therefore not until 1741 that our period really begins. The two
+magazines which were to be the pioneers of this extensive class of
+American literature had been announced in the previous year. The
+<i>Phila. Weekly Mercury</i> (Oct. 30, 1740) gives the prospectus of a
+magazine to be edited by John Webbe and printed by Andrew Bradford;
+while in the <i>Pennsylvania Gazette</i> (Nov. 13, 1740) Franklin
+announced <i>The General Magazine and Historical Chronicle for all
+the British Plantations in America</i>. A bitter controversy soon arose,&mdash;Franklin
+claiming that Webbe had stolen his plans, and Webbe
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_14" id="Page_14">[14]</a></span>accusing Franklin of using his position as Postmaster to exclude the
+<i>Mercury</i> from the mail. Both magazines were issued in January,
+1741; Webbe's journal, <i>The American Magazine; or a Monthly View
+of the Political State of the British Colonies</i>, ran for three months
+and Franklin's for six months.<a name="FNanchor_21_21" id="FNanchor_21_21"></a><a href="#Footnote_21_21" class="fnanchor">[21]</a> With these, then, the investigation
+for the present subject begins. As has been indicated, the work has
+been extended to the end of the year 1840. After that, German
+literature was established as a well known factor in our intellectual
+development, as is shown by the numerous books of translations and
+imitations, and the magazines were, henceforth, less important in
+this particular. The period here treated extends only to the end of
+1810. These years witnessed the beginning of the movement and
+the first period of considerable activity in this field. During the
+years immediately following 1810 there was a decline in the German
+literary influence in the American magazines.<a name="FNanchor_22_22" id="FNanchor_22_22"></a><a href="#Footnote_22_22" class="fnanchor">[22]</a></p>
+
+<p>To estimate definitively the amount of literary activity in America
+with respect to things German, as illustrated by these translations
+and poems, would require considerable information concerning the
+translators. If the translator lived in England and his work was
+simply reprinted in an American magazine, the literary activity belongs
+more to England than to this country; but the fact that the
+poem was reprinted shows a desire to acquaint readers here with
+foreign poetry, the only difference being that the influence came
+through England and not from Germany direct. Where the works
+printed are from the pen of an American, they represent not only the
+ability of the writer to appreciate German, but also the active interest
+to reproduce it for the American public; the translation is then
+entirely an American product. As to Englishmen here doing
+this kind of work, it would be of advantage to know whether they
+were merely travelers or sojourners, or had been here long enough to
+be considered an integral part of our civilization. However useful
+this information would be, it is, in a majority of cases, unobtainable.
+Most of the translations appeared without any indication as to authorship.
+One thing that may partly account for this was the tendency
+of the early magazines to copy and plagiarize. Scores of
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_15" id="Page_15">[15]</a></span>poems were found which had previously been printed in other periodicals
+(American or English), but for the source of which no
+credit was given. Even the author's name was suppressed. In one
+instance an editor inserted a poem that had appeared in the very same
+magazine one or two years earlier, and yet the readers were to receive
+it as something new.<a name="FNanchor_23_23" id="FNanchor_23_23"></a><a href="#Footnote_23_23" class="fnanchor">[23]</a> The only possible means of identification
+in these cases is by comparison with published collections of
+translations. Several translations have thus been traced to Sir Walter
+Scott, M.&nbsp;G. Lewis, William Taylor of Norwich and others.
+Many are reprints from English magazines, concerning which it is
+impossible at present to give more accurate information. The subject
+has not been investigated with respect to the English periodicals,
+and since their number is far greater than the American, it would
+require a separate study to prepare a list of translations from the
+German published in them. It is, therefore, impracticable to exclude
+from the present discussion translations and poems by Englishmen,
+for it is only where the author's name is mentioned, or a note given,
+stating that the translation was made for such and such a magazine,
+that we can be sure whether it was an American product or not.
+The important fact is that the translation appeared in America and
+helped to make known to American readers certain specimens of
+German literature.</p>
+
+<p>In the selection of material certain limitations were necessary. In
+the list of prose translations and articles dealing with the German
+countries, everything has been mentioned which refers directly or
+indirectly to Germany. This is important in giving a complete estimate
+of the interest shown, for there was a desire to know something
+about German prose works, German biography and history as well
+as German poetry. From the list of translations reprinted here,
+however, have been excluded all translations of dramas except certain
+selections, such as songs or short scenes approaching the lyrical
+mood. In most of the portions of dramas reproduced the passages
+are too long for republication or the interest is wholly dramatic and
+not lyric. The subject of the present study is, then, specifically&mdash;the
+German lyric poetry which appeared in English in the magazines of
+America.</p>
+
+<p>The term "poetry" is here taken in a liberal sense and includes
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_16" id="Page_16">[16]</a></span>more than the translations of German verse alone. Some translations
+were found whose originals, though prosaic in form, are poetic
+in content. This was readily recognized by the translators, who
+have accordingly given metrical renderings. For example, we have
+<i>Letter LXI of the Sorrows of Werter Versified</i>; four of Gessner's
+prose idyls have been rendered into verse, and in the later period
+Krummacher's prose fable, <i>The Moss Rose</i>, appears five times in
+verse (1819, 1822, 1823, 1829, 1831) and twice in prose (1827,
+1833). Similarly, prose translations of German verse have been
+included, e.&nbsp;g., two fables from Gellert (1796), <i>Morning</i>, from Haller
+(1793), and the Swiss song, <i>Ranz des Vaches</i> (1805).<a name="FNanchor_24_24" id="FNanchor_24_24"></a><a href="#Footnote_24_24" class="fnanchor">[24]</a> On the
+other hand, prose translations of Gessner's prose idyls are recorded
+by title only. Another poem of a different class must be mentioned.
+In the volumes examined only one German poem written in America
+was found. This was <i>Hoffnung</i> by "Adelio" and a note stated that
+it was written "For the Philadelphia Repository" (Feb. 18, 1804,
+Phila.). At the end were the words: "A poetical translation is
+requested." The following number (Feb. 25) contained a translation.</p>
+
+<p>Another group of poems calling for some attention includes those
+translated from the French. These are of two kinds. In the first
+place there are poems written in French by Germans or Swiss, such
+as the poems of Frederick the Great, and also the <i>Ranz des Vaches</i>.
+As to the latter, the French verses are given in two instances together
+with the translation,<a name="FNanchor_25_25" id="FNanchor_25_25"></a><a href="#Footnote_25_25" class="fnanchor">[25]</a> so that it is certain what the original was. In
+other instances no mention is made of the source. Since part of the
+population of Switzerland has always been German, a German form
+of the song very likely existed. It is difficult, therefore, to say
+whether this or the French version was used by the translator. The
+title is French but this might have been retained for the German
+stanzas.</p>
+
+<p>The second class of translations from the French comprehends
+those from authors who usually wrote in German; thus, <i>Navigation</i>,
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_17" id="Page_17">[17]</a></span>"From the French of Gessner" (1803), and <i>The Usurer</i>, "From
+the French of Gellert" (<i>Port Folio</i>, XVI-245, 1823). Either these
+may have been taken from French translations of the German,<a name="FNanchor_26_26" id="FNanchor_26_26"></a><a href="#Footnote_26_26" class="fnanchor">[26]</a> or
+the word "French" may be a mistake.<a name="FNanchor_27_27" id="FNanchor_27_27"></a><a href="#Footnote_27_27" class="fnanchor">[27]</a> This second group has been
+classed with the translations of German poetry (Part II); while the
+first group from the French belongs to Part III.</p>
+
+<p>No attempt is here made to discuss the critical estimate that the
+Americans of this period placed upon German literature. This
+would require a consideration of all the prose articles, whereas the
+present study has been devoted entirely to the poetry. It is hoped
+that, from the list given in Part IV, such information may be obtained.
+Besides the several paragraphs on German literati, the individual
+poems are often preceded by an introductory note praising
+the original of the translation. Even back in the eighteenth century,
+people were considering the utility of the modern languages as opposed
+to the classics. The <i>American Museum</i>, for example, published
+a <i>Speech on the learned languages</i>, by the Hon. Francis Hopkinson,
+which concludes with the remark that the "languages most
+in use are, in truth, the most useful to be known."<a name="FNanchor_28_28" id="FNanchor_28_28"></a><a href="#Footnote_28_28" class="fnanchor">[28]</a></p>
+
+<p>On the other hand there were unsympathetic writers who ridiculed
+the Germans and their literature. The <i>Monthly Magazine</i> published
+a letter entitled <i>Literary Industry of the Germans</i>, which decried
+their pedantic scholarship in unprofitable directions.<a name="FNanchor_29_29" id="FNanchor_29_29"></a><a href="#Footnote_29_29" class="fnanchor">[29]</a> This attack is
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_18" id="Page_18">[18]</a></span>also expressed in the form of parodies, of which the following were
+found: <i>The Wolf King</i>, a satire on <i>The Water King</i>, <i>The Fire King</i>,
+etc. (1802), <i>The Paint King</i>, a burlesque on <i>The Cloud King</i>, <i>The
+Fire King</i> and others (1809, 1833), <i>Against Faustus</i> (1804), <i>The
+Squeaking Ghost</i>, "a tale imitated from the German, according to
+the true and genuine principles of the horrifick" (1808, 1809, 1810),
+<i>Parody on B&uuml;rger's Earl Walter</i> (1807), <i>Ode to the German Drama</i>,
+"Parody of Gray's Ode to Adversity" (1806), and <i>Burlesque on
+the style in which most of the German romantic ballads are written</i>
+(1799, 1801). In some of these instances the parodies may denote
+no real hostility but merely a rhymester's attempt to be clever.</p>
+
+<p>It is worthy of note that several of the poems in these magazines
+may be grouped together, thus indicating particular interest in certain
+subjects. Each group forms, as it were, a cycle, though the
+individual poems were usually written by different persons. One
+of these groups attests the popularity of Frederick the Great, even
+before the American Revolution. The translations from his poetry
+are: <i>Relaxation of War</i> (1758, 1795, 1798), <i>The King of Prussia's
+Ode imitated in rhime</i> (1758), <i>A literal translation of the King of
+Prussia's Ode</i> (1758), <i>Translation of an Epistle from the King of
+Prussia to Monsieur Voltaire</i> (1759), <i>Ode to Death</i> (1786, 1806),
+<i>Prayer of Frederick II in Behalf of Poets</i> (1805), and <i>A Song</i>
+(1811). The original poems about Frederick are: <i>Winter</i>, a poem,
+containing a reference to "great Frederick's noble feats" (1758),
+<i>On the compleat Victory ...</i> (1758), <i>Ode on the late Victory obtained
+by the King of Prussia</i> (1758), <i>On the glorious Victory ...</i>
+(1758), <i>The Third Psalm paraphrased</i>, "Alluding to his Prussian
+Majesty" (1758), <i>On reading in the publick Papers ...</i> (1758),
+<i>The Royal Comet</i>, referring to "Prussia's great Frederick" (1758),
+and <i>Mr. Voltaire's letter to his Prussian Majesty, Translated</i> (1758).</p>
+
+<p>Another group treats the kings of the natural elements, so common
+in German literature: <i>The Erl King</i> (1798, July 1833, Sept.
+1833, 1835, 1836, 1838, 1839), <i>The Erl King's Daughter</i> (1798),
+<i>The Water King</i>, a Danish Ballad (1798), <i>The Wolf King</i>, a parody
+on <i>The Water King</i>, <i>The Fire King</i>, etc. (1802), <i>Hrim Thor, or the
+Winter King</i> (1802), <i>Grim, King of the Ghosts</i> (1802) and <i>The
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_19" id="Page_19">[19]</a></span>Paint King</i>, a burlesque on <i>The Cloud King</i>, <i>The Fire King</i>, etc.
+(1809, 1810, 1833). This interest in the weird element explains the
+popularity of B&uuml;rger's <i>Lenore</i>, which appears in translation in 1798,
+1801, 1804, 1823, 1836, 1839, 1840.</p>
+
+<p>Switzerland is described in a variety of poems, treating all phases
+of the life and scenery. The most prominent among them is the
+Swiss song, which is variously translated as the <i>Ranz des Vaches</i>,
+the <i>Cow Boy's Chant</i>, and <i>The Song of the Swiss in a Strange Land</i>
+(1805, Oct. 15, Oct. 29, Nov. 1, Nov. 8, Dec. 17, 1808, June, June
+3, 1809, twice in 1833 and once in 1835). In addition to the translations,
+there are four imitations of the same poem: <i>The Swiss Exiles'
+Song</i> (1835), <i>The Switzer's Return</i> [from America] (1836),
+<i>The Switzer's Song of Home</i> (1837, 1838), and <i>The Swiss Emigrant's
+Dream of Home</i> (1840).<a name="FNanchor_30_30" id="FNanchor_30_30"></a><a href="#Footnote_30_30" class="fnanchor">[30]</a></p>
+
+<p>The last group of poems to be mentioned refers to Goethe's novel,
+<i>Die Leiden des jungen Werthers</i>. This was evidently popular in
+America, though by no means causing the widespread delirium and
+sentimentality that had been rife in Germany. During our period
+the book was published here six times in translation, and an English
+imitation, <i>The Letters of Charlotte, during her Connexion with
+Werter</i>, had three American reprints.<a name="FNanchor_31_31" id="FNanchor_31_31"></a><a href="#Footnote_31_31" class="fnanchor">[31]</a> These, together with translations
+imported from England, must have made Werter well known
+in this country. It is not surprising, therefore, to find in the magazines
+eight poems on the subject: <i>Narcissa</i>, containing a reference
+to Werter in the third stanza (1787), <i>Charlotte's Soliloquy&mdash;to the
+Manes of Werter</i> (1787), <i>Death of Werter</i> (1787), <i>Werter's Epitaph</i>
+(1787, 1791, 1805), <i>On Reading the Sorrows of Werter</i> (1790),
+<i>Letter LXI of the Sorrows of Werter, Versified</i> (1791), <i>Werter's
+Farewell to Charlotte</i> (1798) and <i>Charlotte at the Tomb of Werter</i>
+(1809).</p>
+
+<p>The early American magazines, then, were instrumental in making
+German literature and especially German poetry known in America.
+It was possible for them to print translations of individual poems of
+an author long before there was a demand for them in book form.
+Gessner, B&uuml;rger, Gellert, Lessing and others have already been mentioned
+in this connection. It is interesting to note just what poets
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_20" id="Page_20">[20]</a></span>were introduced to the American public by means of the magazines.
+Gessner and B&uuml;rger were the most popular, the former appearing
+twenty-five times and the latter ten times before 1811. Gessner
+was perhaps the German poet best known in America. During this
+period his <i>Death of Abel</i> had no less than sixteen American imprints
+and four imitations, while translations of his <i>Idyls</i> appeared in book
+form twice in 1802 and once in 1807.<a name="FNanchor_32_32" id="FNanchor_32_32"></a><a href="#Footnote_32_32" class="fnanchor">[32]</a> B&uuml;rger, on the other hand,
+was known only through these poems in the magazines, or perhaps
+through imported books. No volume of translations of his poems
+belongs to this period of American printing.</p>
+
+<p>After these, Gellert, Lessing and Haller had some share of recognition
+both by translation and criticism. Goethe, as has been shown,
+was known as the author of <i>Werter</i>. As for his lyrical productions,
+only two appeared, <i>The Erl-King</i> (1798) and <i>Frederick and Alice</i>,
+"Imitated rather than translated from a fragment introduced in
+Goethe's <i>Claudine von Villa Bella</i>" (1807). Other poets, like Jacobi,
+Klopstock, Matthisson, Kotzebue, Patzke or B&uuml;rde, found an
+occasional admirer, but not enough was done to bring their characteristics
+plainly before the public. In addition to these, there were
+numerous parodies and original poems, which helped to emphasize
+the importance of things German. This influence, moreover, was
+aided by the translations of prose works and by articles on German
+literature, history and biography, which are scattered through the
+pages of these periodicals. The American magazines accomplished
+considerable for German in this country. The movement here
+treated grew until it assumed a widespread importance a few decades
+later, but the period to the end of 1810 is interesting as marking the
+beginning. It was the first epoch of this type of literary activity in
+America.</p>

+was in the form of twenty-nine letters to his brother, written during the trip,
+and thirteen more added after his return to Berlin. Although they were
+private communications, the editor of the <i>Port Folio</i> secured them for his
+magazine and printed them anonymously, without suppressing personal references,
+as the author would have done, had he known of the publication.
+</p><p>
+"Whether these passages ever came under the observation of the persons
+affected is not certain. So long as they remained confined to the columns of
+an American publication of that day, the probabilities would favor the negative.
+But they were not so confined. Again, without the knowledge or consent
+of the author, an individual, unknown to him, but fully aware of the
+facts in the case nevertheless took the collection from the <i>Portfolio</i> to London,
+and there had them printed for his own benefit, in an octavo volume, in
+the year 1804. From this copy they were rendered into German, and published
+at Breslau the next year, with notes, by Frederick Albert Zimmerman;
+and in 1807 a translation made into French, by J. Dupuy, was published in

+"Thus it happened that these letters, originally intended as purely familiar

+

+
+<p>The moon retires&mdash;Nature's dark veil no more obscures the air
+and earth&mdash;the twinkling stars disappear and the reviving warmth of
+the sun awakens all creatures.</p>
+
+<p>Already are the heavens adorned with its purple hues and its
+sparkling sapphires. Aurora, fair harbinger of the day, graciously
+dispenses smiles; and brightness of the roses which wreath her forehead
+dissipates the mists of night.</p>
+
+<p>The flaming of the world advances from the eastern gate, triumphantly
+treading on the shining splendours of the milky way;<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_26" id="Page_26">[26]</a></span>
+clouds covered with Heaven's rubies, oppose him with their lightning,
+and a flame of gold spreads itself around the horizon.</p>
+
+<p>The roses open to salute the sun with genial dews; and the lilies
+exhale delicious odours from their sattin'd leaves.</p>
+
+<p>The vigilant hind flies to the labour-giving field; he guides with
+careful pleasure the earth-piercing plough; in the meantime his ears
+are delighted by the lightsome band of minstrels, which sweeten the
+air and the woods with their melodious notes. Thus doth benignant
+Heaven lighten the heavy pressure of toilful industry! O Creator!
+all that I see are the effects of thy power! thou art the soul of nature
+and doth actuate every part! the stated periods and glittering appearance
+of yon orbs, and the unquenched fires of the revolving sun,
+proceed from thy hands, and boast thy impression!</p>
+
+<p>Thou illumest the solemn moon to guide us amid darkness; thou
+dost lend wings to the unseen wind, and by night thou dost enrich the
+earth with fruitful dews.</p>
+
+<p>From the dust thou hast formed yon proud-topt mountain; from
+sand hast thou produced metals; thou hast spread yon firmament, and
+thou hast clothed it with clouds, that it may remain unpolluted by the
+exploring eye of man.</p>
+
+<p>Thou hast wonderfully formed the veins of that fish which causes
+rivers to overflow, and which makes whirlpools, and spreads devastation
+with the flappings of his tail. Thou hast built the elephant, and
+thou hast animated its enormous bulk, that it resembles a moving
+mountain. Thou supportest yon splendid arches of the heavens
+upon the vast void; and with thy word thou hast produced from
+chaos this wondrous universe, filling it with order, and giving it no
+other limit than its grandeur.</p>
+
+<p>Great God! created spirits are too insignificant to raise the glory
+of thy works! We lose ourselves in their immensity. To tell them
+one must resemble thyself on infinity. Humbly contented, I remain
+in my own prescribed circle. Incomprehensible Being! thy resplendent
+glories blind the presuming eye of man! and He from
+whom the earth receives its being, needs not the praises of a worm!</p>

+Every wild bird forgot to sing, listening with fond admiration.
+Aurora tarried behind the hill, attending to her musical cadences;
+and Philomel, in honor of the goddess, warbled with unusual sweetness.
+At that she paused, and the lark took the opportunity of thus
+addressing her; 'Your music meets with just approbation; the
+variety, the clearness, and tenderness of the notes are inimitable;
+nevertheless, in one circumstance I am entitled to a preference. My
+melody is uninterrupted; and every morning is ushered with my
+gratulations. Your song on the contrary, is heard but seldom; and,
+except during a few weeks in the Summer, you have no claim to
+peculiar attention.' 'You have mentioned,' replied the Nightingale,
+'the very cause of my superior excellence. I attend to, and obey,
+the dictates of Nature. I never sing but by her incitements; nor
+even yield to importunate, but uninspired inclination.'</p>

+<p>Clarine loved her husband with sincere affection&mdash;for he was a
+husband to her mind. Their desires and aversions were the same.
+It was Clarine's study to be agreeable, and by unwearied attention,
+to anticipate her husband's wishes. "Such a wife," says my male
+reader, who has thoughts of matrimony, "such a wife would I desire."&mdash;And
+such a wife mayst thou obtain.&mdash;Clarine's husband fell sick&mdash;a
+dangerous illness.&mdash;"No hope" said the physician, and shook his
+awful whig. Bitterly wept Clarine. "O death!" she cried, "O
+death! might I prefer a petition? Spare my husband; let me be the
+victim in his stead." Death heard, appeared, and "What," said
+the grim spectre, "is thy request?" "There," said Clarine sore dismayed,
+"There he lies; overcome with agony he implores thy speedy
+relief."</p>

+
+<p class="poemsub">(From the German of Lessing.)</p>
+
+<p>Believe me, my friend, the great world is not suited to philosophers
+or poets. We are insensible to their real worth; and they, alas! are
+often weak enough to exchange it for a mere nothing.</p>
+
+<p>In early ages the swallow was as tuneful and melodious a bird as
+the nightingale; but she soon became weary of residing in solitary
+groves to excite the admiration of none but the industrious peasant
+and the innocent shepherdess. She left her humble friends, and
+removed into town. What was the consequence? As the inhabitants
+of the city had not leisure to attend to her divine song, she gradually
+forgot it, and in its stead learned to&mdash;build.</p>

+<span class="i0">Your Art is but a fiction of the mind.<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Now learn from me how this same temple grew:<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Once on a time, it so by chance befel<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">That pebbles numberless together flew,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">And settling, form'd this hollow shell,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Where you, and I, friend spider, dwell;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Say, what can be more evidently true?"<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">A fly, for such a system, we forgive;<br /></span>

+to genius, as hostile to grace; the hexameter, until it is familiar, must repel,
+and, when it is familiar, may annoy; that it wants a musical orderliness of

+They were indulgent enough to express their unanimous approbation of the
+piece, and insisted on my sending it up to you, in order (if you would be
+of their opinion) to occupy a leaf in your <i>Magazine</i>. I hope no reader will
+think the dignity of the subject, lessened merely by the familiar strain, in
+which it is written: when they consider, that <i>such</i> seemed most suitable to
+the occasion, the verses consisting of eleven feet, are to be read, like the
+<i>Greek Iambics</i> (which were, anciently, much used in convivial festivities)
+with less solemnity and more rapidity, than the common heroic measure of ten
+feet in our language will admit.</p>

+<span class="i0">By truth and nature form'd to grace a throne:<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Whose dawn of empire like the solar ray,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Chears half the <i>North</i> with hopes of lasting day;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Receive the homage which the Muses send,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Their fav'rite thou! their guardian! and their friend!<br /></span>
+<span class="i0"><span class="smcap">Are</span> you enthron'd?... And does your goodness deign<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">To own your poet, and regard his strain?<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">O blissful moment! dear auspicious grace!<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Does <span class="smcap">Fred'rick's</span> smile my wand'ring steps embrace?<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Does his great soul possess'd of wisdom's balm,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">(Ever benevolent, and ever calm!)<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Leave all the dignity of state behind,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">To meet the humble lover of mankind?<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">And can your hand the royal gift impart<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">To style me friend of your <i>distinguish'd</i> heart?<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Fame says of old, that <i>Phoebus</i> heavenly bright,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">O'er the wide world who spreads the living light,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">So <i>Jove</i> ordain'd ... his splendid carr resign'd,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">To live below and humanize mankind:<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">No more his brows their wonted rays reveal'd,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">A shepherd's form the exil'd god conceal'd;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">In <i>Phrygian</i> wilds to an unletter'd race,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">He sung with such divinely-pleasing grace,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">The savage nation in their softened hearts,<br /></span>

+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_117" id="Page_117">[117]</a></span><span class="i0">The rudest breasts the strong persuasion felt,<br /></span>

+<span class="i0">Themselves to know, the social tye to own,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">And learn they were not made to live alone!<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Then every useful science sprung to birth,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">And peaceful labour blest the smiling earth:<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Men now united lost their antient rage,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Nature rejoic'd and blest her <i>golden age</i>;<br /></span>

+<span class="i0">Unless a <span class="smcap">Frederick</span> shall <i>that</i> age restore!<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">It chanc'd as thro' the wood <i>Apollo</i> stray'd,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Ere gathering numbers peopled half the shade;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">As near the cooling stream he pass'd the day<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">And wak'd the golden lyre to wisdom's lay!<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Attentive to the sound a <i>stranger swain</i>,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">His reed attun'd to imitate the strain;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">The god well-pleas'd the rustic genius spy'd,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Approv'd his aim, and deign'd to be his guide!<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Aided his trembling hands to touch the string,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Whisper'd the words, and shew'd him how to sing!<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">The swain improving blest the care bestow'd,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Nor in the <i>master</i> yet perceiv'd the <i>god</i>:<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Nor knew the immortal flame his bosom fir'd,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">But like a shepherd lov'd him, and admir'd!<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">In me, <i>great prince</i>, the image stands renew'd,<br /></span>

+<span class="i1">As once directed by the voice of fame<br /></span>

+<span class="i0">At <span class="smcap">Frederick's</span> call ... see ravish'd to obey,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">The sons of learning take their chearful way;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">To hear <i>that</i> sense which still attention draws;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">And bless <i>that</i> goodness which directs his laws;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Close by his throne <i>Philosophy</i> shall smile,<br /></span>

+<span class="i0">While <i>Science</i> joys to see his kind regards<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Inspire the muse, his bounty still rewards;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Not distant far, calm <i>Charity</i> shall stand,<br /></span>

+<span class="i0">Beneath her wings shall bid the worthy find<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">A shelter from the storms that vex mankind;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">The friend of truth, by fraud or malice hurl'd<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Through all the mazes of a faithless world.<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Whom envy persecutes and bigots hate,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Shall here enjoy an undisturb'd retreat;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">With <small>HIM</small>, who scorns the empty pride or blood,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">But shares his grandeur with the <i>wise</i> and <i>good</i>!<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">What tho' his prudence guards the chance of war,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">His mildness eyes the mischief from afar!<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">What tho' his arms might <i>C&aelig;sar's</i> laurels find,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">The peaceful olive suits his greater mind:<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Yet safe in all events the storm he views,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">In peace or war ... the darling of the Muse!<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">In either state, alike insur'd success,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Since all his aim is to defend and bless!<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Yet while impending clouds their darkness spread,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">He arms for war ... but arms without a dread!<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">No <i>giant forms</i><a name="FNanchor_39_39" id="FNanchor_39_39"></a><a href="#Footnote_39_39" class="fnanchor">[39]</a> compose a vain parade,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">No glittering <i>figures</i> of the <i>warrior-trade</i>:<br /></span>
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_119" id="Page_119">[119]</a></span><span class="i0">Valour he courts without the pomp of art,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">And rises on the service of the heart:<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">He boasts it all his glory to be just<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">(A pride beyond the title of <i>August</i>!)<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Which time secures, the most impartial friend,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">And guards his <i>name</i> till nature fells her end!<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">So when beneath the curs'd <i>C&aelig;sarian</i> race<br /></span>
+<span class="i0"><i>Rome</i> felt the horrors of her first disgrace;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Great <i>Trajan</i> rose with every virtue blest,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">To give the weary world the sweets of rest:<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">No blood, no conquest mark'd his spotless reign,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">'Twas goodness form'd th' inviolable chain;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">E'en <i>India's</i> Kings receiv'd the willing yoke,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">For goodness is a band no savage broke!<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Not <i>Salem's</i> walls defil'd with wilful blood,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">A crime, her victor's clemency withstood:<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Not all her honours levell'd with the dust,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Styl'd <i>Titus good</i>, or <i>merciful</i>, or <i>just</i>:<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Love knit the charm on which his greatness rose,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">A charm! not worlds united can oppose!<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Behold the glorious pattern marks your rise!<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Nor quit the steps by which he gain'd the skies:<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Try to surpass! (but heav'n his <i>fate</i> refuse!)<br /></span>
+<span class="i0"><i>He wept a day!</i> ... which <small>YOU</small> <i>will never lose</i>!<br /></span>

+
+<p>[The poem follows.]</p>
+
+<p class="smaller">Since writing these stanzas, I have met with two old Scotch ballads which
+have some resemblance with "The Water King"; one is called "May
+Colvin," and relates the story of a king's daughter who was beguiled from
+her father's house by a false Sir John; the other, intitled "Clerk Colvil,"
+treats of a young man who fell into the snares of a false mermaid; the latter,
+indeed, bears a still stranger resemblance to the Danish tradition of "The
+Erl-King's Daughter." The fragment of "The Water King" may be found
+in "Herder's Volkslieder."</p>
+
+<p class="smaller">Many inquiries have been made respecting the elementary monarchs mentioned
+a few pages back; I must inform my readers that all I know respecting
+the Water King (called in the German translation "Der Wasser-Mann")
+and the Erl-King (called in German Erlk&ouml;nig) is gathered from the foregoing
+ballad and two others which I shall here insert. With respect to the
+Fire King and the Cloud King, they are entirely of my own creation; but if
+my readers choose to ascribe their birth to the "Comte de Gabalis," they are
+very welcome.</p>

+
+<p class="smaller">Among the newest and most delightful miscellanies, lately received from
+England, may be ranked a poetical work, entitled "<i>Tales of Terror</i>." This
+is partly intended as a burlesque of the various ballads in Lewis's celebrated
+romance, "<i>The Monk</i>." We well remember, that this member of the British
+parliament has amused himself, and alarmed his readers, by resorting to the
+cells of Gothic superstition, and invoking all the forms of German horror,
+to appal every timid heart. Hence, we have been haunted by ghosts of all
+complexions; and "<i>Cloud Kings</i>," and "<i>Water Kings</i>," and "<i>Fire Kings</i>,"
+have been crowned by this poetical magician, to rule with despotism in the
+realms of Fancy. A lively satirist, endowed with the gifts of Genius, easy
+in versification, pleasant in his humour, and inimitably successful in parody,
+has, in some of his "<i>Tales of Terror</i>" undertaken to mock the doleful tones
+of Mr. Lewis's muse, or shall we rather say the hoarse caw of the German
+raven. The midnight hour has been beguiled, by transcribing the following
+sarcasm, founded on a well-known nursery story, and our readers will thank

+
+<p class="poemtitle">THE PAINT-KING.</p>
+
+<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">Fair Ellen, was once the delight of the young;<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">No damsel could with her compare;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Her charms were the theme of the heart and the tongue,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">And bards without number in extacies sung<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">The beauties of Ellen, the Fair.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">But Ellen, though lovers in regiments threw<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">The darts of their eyes at her heart,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">From the sorrow no pitying sympathy knew;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">For, cold as an icicle-shower, they drew<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Not a drop from that petrified part.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">Yet still did the heart of fair Ellen implore<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">A something that could not be found;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Like a sailor it seem'd on a desolate shore,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">With nor house, nor a tree, nor a sound, but the roar<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Of breakers high-dashing around.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">From object to object, still, still would she stray<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Yet nothing, alas! could she find;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Through Novelty's mazes she rambled all day,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">And even at midnight, so restless, they say,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">In sleep would run after the wind.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">Nay, rather than sit like a statue so still,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">When the rain made her mansion a pound,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Up and down would she go like the sails of a mill,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">And pat every stair, like a wood-pecker's bill,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">From the tiles of the roof to the ground.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">One morn, as the maid from her casement reclin'd,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Pass'd a youth with a frame in his hand.<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">The casement she clos'd; not the eye of her mind;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">For do all she could, no, she could not be blind;<br /></span>
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_184" id="Page_184">[184]</a></span><span class="i1">Still before her she saw the youth stand.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">"And what can he do," said the maid with a sigh,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">"Ah! what with that frame can he do?<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">I wish I could know it." When suddenly by<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">The youth pass'd again; and again did her eye<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">The frame, and a sweet picture view.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">"Oh! sweet, lovely picture!" the fair Ellen sigh'd,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">"I must see thee again or I die;"<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Then under her white chin her bonnet she tied,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">And after the youth and the picture she hied,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Till the youth, looking back, met her eye.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">"Fair damsel," said he (and he chuckled the while),<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">"This picture, I see, you admire;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Then take it, I beg you, perhaps 'twill beguile<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Some moments of sorrow: (pray pardon my smile)<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Or, at least, keep you home by the fire."<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">Then Ellen the gift, with delight and surprise,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">From the cunning young stripling receiv'd.<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">But she knew not the poison that enter'd her eyes,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">When beaming with rapture they gazed on her prize:<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Yet thus was fair Ellen deceiv'd!<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">'Twas a youth o'er the form of a statue inclin'd;<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">And the sculptor he seem'd of the stone;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Yet he languish'd, as though for its beauty he pin'd,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">And gaz'd, as the eyes of the statue so blind<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Reflected the beams of his own.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">'Twas the tale of the sculptor, Pygmalion of old;<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Fair Ellen remember'd and sigh'd,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">"Ah! could'st thou but lift from that marble so cold,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Thine eyes so enchanting, thy arms should enfold,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">And press me this day as thy bride."<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">She said: when, behold, from the canvass arose<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">The youth ... and he stepp'd from the frame;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">With a furious joy, his arms did enclose<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">The love-plighted Ellen; and, clasping, he froze<br /></span>
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_185" id="Page_185">[185]</a></span><span class="i1">The blood of the maid with his flame!<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">She turn'd and beheld on each shoulder a wing<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">"Oh! heaven!" cried she, "who art thou?"<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">From the roof to the ground did his fierce answer ring,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">When frowning, he thunder'd, "I am the Paint-King!<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">And mine, lovely maid, thou art now!"<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">Then high from the ground did the grim monster lift<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">The loud-screaming maid, like a blast;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">And he sped through the air, like a meteor swift,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">While the clouds, wand'ring by him, did fearfully drift<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">To the right and the left as he pass'd.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">Now, suddenly sloping his hurricane flight,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">With an eddying whirl he descends;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">The air all below him becomes black as night,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">And the ground where he treads, as if mov'd with affright,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Like the surge of the Caspian bends.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">"I am here!" said the fiend, and he thundering knock'd<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">At the gates of a mountainous cave:<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">The gates open'd wide, as by magick unlock'd,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">While the peaks of the mount, reeling to and fro, rock'd,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Like an island of ice on the wave.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">"Oh! mercy!" cried Ellen, and swoon'd in his arms.<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">But the Paint-King, he scoff'd at her pain.<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">"Prithee, love," said the monster, "what mean these alarms?"<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">She hears not, she sees not the terrible charms<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">That wake her to horror again.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">She opens her lids; but no longer her eyes<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Behold the fair youth she would woo:<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Now appears the Paint-King in his natural guise;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">His face, like a palette of villainous dies,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Black and white, red and yellow, and blue.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">On a bright polish'd throne, of prismatical<a name="FNanchor_47_47" id="FNanchor_47_47"></a><a href="#Footnote_47_47" class="fnanchor">[47]</a> spar,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Sat the mosaick fiend like a clod;<br /></span>
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_186" id="Page_186">[186]</a></span><span class="i0">While he rear'd in his mouth a gigantick cigar<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Twice as big as the light-house, though seen from afar,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">On the coast of the stormy Cape Cod.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">And anon, as he puff'd the vast volumes, were seen,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">In horrid festoons on the wall,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Legs and arms, head and bodies, emerging between;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Like the drawing room grim of the Scotch Sawney Beane,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">By the Devil dress'd out for a ball.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">"Ah me!" cried the damsel, and fell at his feet,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">"Must I hang on these walls to be dried?"<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">"Oh, no!" said the fiend, while he sprung from his seat,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">"A far nobler fortune thy person shall meet;<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Into paint will I grind thee, my bride!"<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">Then, seizing the maid by her dark auburn hair,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">An oil-jug he plung'd her within.<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Seven days, seven nights, with the shrieks of despair<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Did Ellen in torment convulse the dim air,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">All cover'd with oil to the chin.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">On the morn of the eighth on a huge sable stone<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Then Ellen, all reeking, he laid;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">With a rock for his muller, he crush'd every bone;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">But though ground to jelly, still, still did she groan;<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">For life had forsook not the maid.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">Now reaching his palette with masterly care,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Each tint on the surface he spread;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">The blue of her eyes, and the brown of her hair,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">The pearl and the white of her forehead so fair<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">And her lips' and her cheeks' rosy red.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">Then stamping his foot, did the monster exclaim,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">"Now I brave, cruel Fairy, thy scorn!"<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">When lo! from a chasm unfathom'd there came<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">A small tiny chariot of rose-colour'd flame,<br /></span>
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_187" id="Page_187">[187]</a></span><span class="i1">By a team of ten glowworms upborne.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">Enthron'd in the midst on an emerald bright,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Fair Geraldine sat without peer;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Her robe was the gleam of the first blush of light,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">And her mantle the fleece of a noon-cloud white,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">And a beam of the moon was her spear.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">In a voice that stole on the still charmed air,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Like the first gentle accent of Eve,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Thus spake from her chariot the Fairy so fair:<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">"I come at thy call ... but, oh Paint-King! beware,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Beware if again you deceive."<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">"'Tis true," said the monster, "thou queen of my heart!<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Thy portrait I oft have essay'd;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Yet ne'er to the canvass could I with my art<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">The least of thy wonderful beauties impart;<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">And my failure with scorn you repaid.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">"Now I swear, by the light of the Comet-King's tail!"<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">And he tower'd with pride as he spoke,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">"If again with these magical colours I fail,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">The crater of Etna shall hence be my jail,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">And my food shall be sulphur and smoke.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">"But if I succeed, then, oh! fair Geraldine!<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Thy promise with rapture, I claim,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">And thou, queen of Fairies, shalt ever be mine<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">The bride of my bed; and thy portrait divine<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Shall fill all the earth with my fame."<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">He spake; when, behold the fair Geraldine's form<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">On the canvass enchantingly glow'd;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">His touches, they flew like the leaves in a storm;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">And the pure, pearly white, and the carnation warm,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Contending in harmony, flow'd.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">And now did the portrait a twin-sister seem<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">To the figure of Geraldine fair:<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">With the same sweet expression did faithfully teem<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">Each muscle, each feature; in short, not a gleam<br /></span>
+<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_188" id="Page_188">[188]</a></span><span class="i1">Was lost of her beautiful hair.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">'Twas the Fairy herself! but, alas! her blue eyes<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Still a pupil did ruefully lack;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">And who shall describe the terrifick surprise<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">That seized the Paint-King, when, behold, he descries<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Not a speck on his palette of black.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">"I am lost!" said the fiend, and he shook like a leaf;<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">When, casting his eyes to the ground,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">He saw the lost pupils of Ellen with grief<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">In the jaws of a mouse, and the sly little thief<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Whisk away from his sight with a bound.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">"I am lost!" said the fiend, and he fell like a stone:<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Then rising the Fairy in ire,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">With a touch of her finger she loosen'd her zone,<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">(While the limbs on the wall gave a terrible groan!)<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">And she swell'd to a column of fire.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">Her spear now a thunder-bolt flash'd in the air,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">And sulphur the vault fill'd around:<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">She smote the grim monster; and now by the hair<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">High lifting, she hurl'd him in speechless despair<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">Down the depths of the chasm profound.<br /></span>
+</div><div class="stanza">
+<span class="i0">Then waving, with smiles, o'er the picture her spear,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">"Come forth!" said the good Geraldine;<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">When, behold, from the canvass fair Ellen appear!<br /></span>
+<span class="i0">In feature, in person more lovely than e'er,<br /></span>
+<span class="i1">With grace more than ever divine!<br /></span>

+Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no

+permission and without paying copyright royalties.  Special rules,
+set forth in the General Terms of Use part of this license, apply to
+copying and distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works to

+Gutenberg is a registered trademark, and may not be used if you
+charge for the eBooks, unless you receive specific permission.  If you
+do not charge anything for copies of this eBook, complying with the
+rules is very easy.  You may use this eBook for nearly any purpose
+such as creation of derivative works, reports, performances and
+research.  They may be modified and printed and given away--you may do

+
+THE FULL PROJECT GUTENBERG LICENSE
+PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE YOU DISTRIBUTE OR USE THIS WORK
+
+To protect the Project Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting the free

+(or any other work associated in any way with the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg"), you agree to comply with all the terms of the Full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License (available with this file or online at
+https://gutenberg.org/license).
+
+
+Section 1.  General Terms of Use and Redistributing Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic works
+
+1.A.  By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work, you indicate that you have read, understand, agree to
+and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
+(trademark/copyright) agreement.  If you do not agree to abide by all
+the terms of this agreement, you must cease using and return or destroy
+all copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in your possession.
+If you paid a fee for obtaining a copy of or access to a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work and you do not agree to be bound by the
+terms of this agreement, you may obtain a refund from the person or
+entity to whom you paid the fee as set forth in paragraph 1.E.8.
+
+1.B.  "Project Gutenberg" is a registered trademark.  It may only be
+used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
+agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement.  There are a few
+things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
+even without complying with the full terms of this agreement.  See
+paragraph 1.C below.  There are a lot of things you can do with Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works if you follow the terms of this agreement
+and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.  See paragraph 1.E below.
+
+1.C.  The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation ("the Foundation"
+or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection of Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic works.  Nearly all the individual works in the
+collection are in the public domain in the United States.  If an
+individual work is in the public domain in the United States and you are
+located in the United States, we do not claim a right to prevent you from
+copying, distributing, performing, displaying or creating derivative
+works based on the work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg
+are removed.  Of course, we hope that you will support the Project
+Gutenberg-tm mission of promoting free access to electronic works by
+freely sharing Project Gutenberg-tm works in compliance with the terms of
+this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg-tm name associated with
+the work.  You can easily comply with the terms of this agreement by
+keeping this work in the same format with its attached full Project
+Gutenberg-tm License when you share it without charge with others.
+
+1.D.  The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
+what you can do with this work.  Copyright laws in most countries are in
+a constant state of change.  If you are outside the United States, check
+the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this agreement
+before downloading, copying, displaying, performing, distributing or
+creating derivative works based on this work or any other Project
+Gutenberg-tm work.  The Foundation makes no representations concerning
+the copyright status of any work in any country outside the United
+States.
+
+1.E.  Unless you have removed all references to Project Gutenberg:
+
+1.E.1.  The following sentence, with active links to, or other immediate
+access to, the full Project Gutenberg-tm License must appear prominently
+whenever any copy of a Project Gutenberg-tm work (any work on which the
+phrase "Project Gutenberg" appears, or with which the phrase "Project
+Gutenberg" is associated) is accessed, displayed, performed, viewed,
+copied or distributed:
+
+This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with
+almost no restrictions whatsoever.  You may copy it, give it away or
+re-use it under the terms of the Project Gutenberg License included
+with this eBook or online at www.gutenberg.org
+
+1.E.2.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is derived
+from the public domain (does not contain a notice indicating that it is
+posted with permission of the copyright holder), the work can be copied
+and distributed to anyone in the United States without paying any fees
+or charges.  If you are redistributing or providing access to a work
+with the phrase "Project Gutenberg" associated with or appearing on the
+work, you must comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1
+through 1.E.7 or obtain permission for the use of the work and the
+Project Gutenberg-tm trademark as set forth in paragraphs 1.E.8 or
+1.E.9.
+
+1.E.3.  If an individual Project Gutenberg-tm electronic work is posted
+with the permission of the copyright holder, your use and distribution
+must comply with both paragraphs 1.E.1 through 1.E.7 and any additional
+terms imposed by the copyright holder.  Additional terms will be linked
+to the Project Gutenberg-tm License for all works posted with the
+permission of the copyright holder found at the beginning of this work.
+
+1.E.4.  Do not unlink or detach or remove the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License terms from this work, or any files containing a part of this
+work or any other work associated with Project Gutenberg-tm.
+
+1.E.5.  Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
+electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
+prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
+active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm License.
+
+1.E.6.  You may convert to and distribute this work in any binary,
+compressed, marked up, nonproprietary or proprietary form, including any
+word processing or hypertext form.  However, if you provide access to or
+distribute copies of a Project Gutenberg-tm work in a format other than
+"Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other format used in the official version
+posted on the official Project Gutenberg-tm web site (www.gutenberg.org),
+you must, at no additional cost, fee or expense to the user, provide a
+copy, a means of exporting a copy, or a means of obtaining a copy upon
+request, of the work in its original "Plain Vanilla ASCII" or other
+form.  Any alternate format must include the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+License as specified in paragraph 1.E.1.
+
+1.E.7.  Do not charge a fee for access to, viewing, displaying,
+performing, copying or distributing any Project Gutenberg-tm works
+unless you comply with paragraph 1.E.8 or 1.E.9.
+
+1.E.8.  You may charge a reasonable fee for copies of or providing
+access to or distributing Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works provided
+that
+
+- You pay a royalty fee of 20% of the gross profits you derive from
+     the use of Project Gutenberg-tm works calculated using the method
+     you already use to calculate your applicable taxes.  The fee is
+     owed to the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark, but he
+     has agreed to donate royalties under this paragraph to the
+     Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation.  Royalty payments
+     must be paid within 60 days following each date on which you
+     prepare (or are legally required to prepare) your periodic tax
+     returns.  Royalty payments should be clearly marked as such and
+     sent to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation at the
+     address specified in Section 4, "Information about donations to
+     the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation."
+
+- You provide a full refund of any money paid by a user who notifies
+     you in writing (or by e-mail) within 30 days of receipt that s/he
+     does not agree to the terms of the full Project Gutenberg-tm
+     License.  You must require such a user to return or
+     destroy all copies of the works possessed in a physical medium
+     and discontinue all use of and all access to other copies of
+     Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+- You provide, in accordance with paragraph 1.F.3, a full refund of any
+     money paid for a work or a replacement copy, if a defect in the
+     electronic work is discovered and reported to you within 90 days
+     of receipt of the work.
+
+- You comply with all other terms of this agreement for free
+     distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm works.
+
+1.E.9.  If you wish to charge a fee or distribute a Project Gutenberg-tm
+electronic work or group of works on different terms than are set
+forth in this agreement, you must obtain permission in writing from
+both the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and Michael
+Hart, the owner of the Project Gutenberg-tm trademark.  Contact the
+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or
+corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual
+property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
+computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
+WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE.
+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact

+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

+
+
+The present study is an extension of a thesis, presented to the
+Faculty of the Department of Philosophy of the University of
+Pennsylvania in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree
+of Doctor of Philosophy. The object has been to treat the material in
+the early American magazines which gave readers information about
+Germany and other Teutonic countries. While the primary aim has been
+to discuss the translations of poetry and the original poems bearing
+on the subject, all relevant prose articles have also been listed.
+Since many of the magazines used are extremely rare and almost unique,
+the texts from them are here reprinted in order to make such
+information accessible. As some of the translations and poems,
+however, have been traced to Thomas Campbell, Sir Walter Scott,
+William Wordsworth, Thomas Gray and others, whose works are to be
+found in almost any library, reprinting was unnecessary in these
+cases. M. G. Lewis' _Tales of Terror and Wonder_ has had, besides many
+early imprints, a recent edition by Henry Morley in 1887 and the poems
+from it that appeared in the American magazines are here mentioned by
+title only, the one exception being _The Erl-King_, which is included
+because of several variants. Long poems like _The Wanderer of
+Switzerland_ (which itself would make a small book) are not reprinted.
+
+Parts II to V are arranged chronologically, so as to show the gradual
+growth of the German influence. Translations and poems are therefore
+reprinted under the date of their first appearance; later publications
+of them in the magazines are here recorded simply by title, with a
+note giving the earliest date. The texts are reprinted exactly as they
+appeared in the early American periodicals, thus presenting the
+information about Germany in the same form in which readers of a
+century ago received it. Mistakes are often interesting as
+illustrative of an ignorance about German names and words. Only the
+most evident typographical errors have been corrected, such as
+"spweep" for "sweep," "bilssful" for "blissful," and "fustain" for
+"sustain." Differences due to eighteenth century orthography are
+retained.
+
+The subject has been investigated to the end of the year 1840, but
+this volume treats only the period ending with 1810. Often for the
+sake of complete lists, however, poems of a later date are mentioned.
+Throughout Parts II to V, notes by the present author, except mention
+of sources from which the reprints are made, are inclosed in brackets.
+
+The courtesy and assistance rendered in obtaining the magazines make
+me indebted to the attendants in the various libraries visited,
+particularly to Mr. Allan B. Slauson, of the Library of Congress. I
+wish to thank Professor Daniel B. Shumway, of the University of
+Pennsylvania, for helpful criticism, and Professor John L. Haney, of
+the Philadelphia Central High School, for valuable information about
+the German literary influence in England during the period under
+discussion and for improvements suggested in the preparation of the
+Introduction.
+
+I am especially indebted to Professor Marion D. Learned, of the
+University of Pennsylvania, at whose suggestion and under whose
+inspiration the present investigation has been carried on.

+                             INTRODUCTION.
+
+
+The important influence which German literature has exercised on
+American culture and literature extends from the early part of the
+nineteenth century. This influence was, in a measure, a continuation
+of the interest and activity that had existed in England during the
+last quarter of the eighteenth century. Prior to 1790, numerous
+translations from Gellert, Wieland, Klopstock, Lessing, Goethe and
+Schiller appeared from time to time, but it was not until William
+Taylor of Norwich began to write, that the movement, which culminated
+in the works of Coleridge, Carlyle and others, assumed definite
+form.[1]

+    Samuel Taylor Coleridge_, Philadelphia, 1902.

+    1897.]
+
+American literature at this time was still subservient to that of
+England and it is not surprising that the new literary impulse from
+Germany should have found reflection on this side of the Atlantic.
+This foreign influence was further aided by direct contact with
+Europe. By the second or third decade of the last century the studies
+of American scholars abroad became an important factor in our
+intellectual development. In 1819 Edward Everett returned from Europe
+to become professor of Greek at Harvard University. He had studied at
+the University of Goettingen, where he had become enthusiastic for the
+methods of German scholarship. While in Europe he secured for Harvard
+College a large number of German books, which soon proved to be a
+stimulus to the students of the institution. In 1823 W. E. Channing in
+his _Remarks on National Literature_ advocated the study of French and
+German authors, so that our literature might attain a position of
+independence from that of England.[2] Two years later, in 1825, Karl
+Follen entered upon his duties at Harvard College as instructor in
+German.[3]
+
+    [Footnote 2: _The Works of William E. Channing_, Boston,
+    1849. Geo. D. Channing. Vol. I-277.
+
+    Cf. also, the remark of Francis Hopkinson, p. 194.]
+
+    [Footnote 3: As early as 1754 William Creamer (or Cramer) was
+    appointed Professor of the French and German Languages, at
+    the University of Pennsylvania, which position he held for
+    twenty-one years. In 1780 a German Professorship of Philology
+    was established in the same institution. J. C. Kunze, the
+    first appointee, lectured in German on Latin and Greek. After
+    1784, his successor, J. H. C. Helmuth, carried out the same
+    policy.
+
+    Cf. M. D. Learned, _Address at the Opening of the Bechstein
+    Library_, University of Pennsylvania, March 21, 1896.]
+
+Before Edward Everett went abroad to study, however, American
+scholars had begun to seek wider cultural advantages at the centres of
+learning in Europe.[4] They were mostly theological students, or men
+more or less closely connected with the diplomatic service. The most
+prominent among the latter class was John Quincy Adams, who spent
+several years in Europe. His interest in German literature is shown by
+the fact that he translated Wieland's _Oberon_, which however was not
+published, because Sotheby's translation had just appeared in
+London.[5]
+
+    [Footnote 4: Benjamin Franklin's visit to the University of
+    Goettingen is described in the _Goettingische Anzeigen_ for
+    Sept. 13, 1766, which states that the session of the Royal
+    Society of Sciences held on the 19th of the preceding July
+    was more impressive than usual. "The two famous English
+    scholars, the royal physician, Mr. Pringle, and Mr. Benjamin
+    Franklin, from Pennsylvania, who happened to be at that time
+    in Goettingen on a trip through Germany, took their seats as
+    members of the society."
+
+    Cf. the account by Dr. E. J. James (_The Nation_, Apr. 18,
+    1895, p. 296), reprinted in B. A. Hinsdale's article _Foreign
+    Influence upon Education in the United States_, published in
+    the _Report of the Commissioner of Education_, 1897-98. Vol.
+    I, pp. 604-607.
+
+    Cf. also, L. Viereck, _German Instruction in American
+    Schools_, ibid., 1900-1901. Vol. I, p. 543.]
+
+    [Footnote 5: Adams wrote also an account of his journey to
+    Silesia in July, 1800. This was in the form of twenty-nine
+    letters to his brother, written during the trip, and thirteen
+    more added after his return to Berlin. Although they were
+    private communications, the editor of the _Port Folio_
+    secured them for his magazine and printed them anonymously,
+    without suppressing personal references, as the author would
+    have done, had he known of the publication.
+
+    "Whether these passages ever came under the observation of
+    the persons affected is not certain. So long as they remained
+    confined to the columns of an American publication of that
+    day, the probabilities would favor the negative. But they
+    were not so confined. Again, without the knowledge or consent
+    of the author, an individual, unknown to him, but fully aware
+    of the facts in the case nevertheless took the collection
+    from the _Portfolio_ to London, and there had them printed
+    for his own benefit, in an octavo volume, in the year 1804.
+    From this copy they were rendered into German, and published
+    at Breslau the next year, with notes, by Frederick Albert
+    Zimmerman; and in 1807 a translation made into French, by J.
+    Dupuy, was published in Paris by Dentu.
+
+    "Thus it happened that these letters, originally intended as
+    purely familiar correspondence, obtained a free circulation
+    over a large part of Europe without the smallest agency on
+    the part of the author, or any opportunity to correct and
+    modify them as he certainly would have done had he ever
+    possessed the power."

+    Adams. 12 vols., Philadelphia, 1874. Vol. I, 240-241.

+    The American publication began in the _Port Folio_, I-1, Jan.
+    3, 1801, Phila. For a review of the English edition, cf. _The
+    Monthly Review or Literary Journal_, XLV-350, December, 1804,
+    London.]
+
+A little later, in 1809, Alexander Hill Everett went to Russia as
+secretary to the legation and spent several years in different cities
+on the continent.[6] George Ticknor visited Germany in 1815 to prepare
+for his duties as professor of modern languages at Harvard; and George
+Bancroft, after graduating from college in 1817, studied for five
+years at Goettingen, Heidelberg and Berlin. Henry E. Dwight was at
+Goettingen from 1824-1828 and in the next year published in New York
+_Travels in the North of Germany, 1825-6_. It was about this time that
+James Fenimore Cooper began his European travels, which lasted from
+1826 to 1833.[7] Thus, American scholars had been acquiring German
+thought and culture at first hand, before Longfellow or Emerson went
+abroad for the first time. With these two the German influence in
+America reached its height--Longfellow in literature, and Emerson in
+his transcendental philosophy.
+
+    [Footnote 6: "He [A. H. Everett] had probably studied German
+    while he was associated with John Quincy Adams in St.
+    Petersburg, where German influence was strong and the study
+    of the language and literature could be pursued under the
+    most favorable conditions. The _United States Magazine and
+    Democratic Review_, New York, Vol. X (N. S.) 1842--p. 461,
+    states that he studied at St. Petersburg, among other things,
+    the modern languages."

+    in America_ in the _Americana Germanica_, III, No. 2, p.
+    155.]
+
+    [Footnote 7: M. D. Learned, _German as a Culture Element in
+    American Education_, Milwaukee, 1898.]
+
+This was the second channel by which German literature became known in
+this country. The first, as has already been indicated, came
+indirectly through England. There, considerable activity in this line
+had been manifest since 1790. Books of translations were published and
+the magazines contained many fugitive pieces from the German. It is
+chiefly a reflex of this interest that we find in American periodicals
+to the end of 1810.
+
+In America, likewise, German literature was made known to English
+readers by means of translations either in book form or in the
+magazines. The subject of translations in book form has been treated
+in the recent article by Wilkens already mentioned. He discusses
+German drama, fiction, poetry, philosophy, theology and pedagogy, and
+gives in an appendix "A List of the Translations of German Literature
+that were printed in the United States before 1826." These books,
+however, were not the first means of introducing German authors to
+American readers. The first mention of this foreign literature we
+find, as a rule, in the magazines. Here are numerous accounts of the
+lives of German writers, criticism of their books, notices of editions
+(English or American) and besides these, many translations of poetry
+and the shorter prose works. These articles or translations do not, of
+course, antedate the earliest appearance of the same works in England,
+but it is safe to say that whatever information on German literature
+was offered in the American magazines reached the American public
+sooner than the copies of an English book sent over here to be sold.
+Many readers learned to know foreign literature through the medium of
+the periodicals who would not think of purchasing all the books, of
+which they had read reviews or selections. This was especially true of
+the poetry. The prose works were usually too long for republication in
+the magazines and could be announced only through critiques or
+abstracts. Even here, however, some of the longer pieces appeared,
+such as _The Apparitionist_ (Schiller's _Geisterseher_) in the _N. Y.
+Weekly Mag._, I-16, etc., 1795, N. Y., and in the same magazine II-4,
+etc., Tschink's _Victim of Magical Delusion_, while _The Mirror of
+Taste and Dramatic Censor_, I, 1810, contains _Emilia Galotti_,
+translated by Miss Fanny Holcroft. These prose pieces, being long,
+were continued from number to number, but for the poetry this was not
+necessary. Poems of the size of Klopstock's _Messiah_ or Gessner's
+_Death of Abel_ appeared in the magazines only in selections or
+extracts, while on the other hand most of the lyric poems, being
+short, could very easily be reprinted entire in translation. With
+hardly an exception, the short poems of German authors appeared in
+America in the periodicals some time before they were issued in book
+form; for example, the earliest publication of Gessner's _Idyls_
+mentioned by Wilkens was in 1802,[8] whereas single idyls had been
+translated for the magazines in 1774, 1775, 1792, 1795, 1798, 1799,
+two in 1793, three in 1796 and five in 1801. Similarly, the first
+American imprint of M. G. Lewis' _Tales of Wonder_ was issued in New
+York in 1801, while five selections in it had already appeared in the
+_Weekly Mag._, 1798-9, Phila.[9] In addition to these there were found
+in the American magazines before 1811, ten translations from Buerger,
+eight from Gellert, five from Lessing, four from Haller, three from
+Goethe, two each from Jacobi, Klopstock, Matthisson and Schickaneder,
+and one each from "Adelio," Buerde, Kotzebue, Patzke, "Sheller," and
+"Van Vander Horderclogeth," together with several translations, for
+which the name of the original author was not given. None of these
+were printed in book form before 1826.[10]
+
+    [Footnote 8: _New Idyls_, by S. Gessner. Philadelphia, 1802.]
+
+    [Footnote 9:
+
+    Buerger, _Leonora_ [Wm. Taylor--some variants], Vol. I-221.
+    Buerger, _The Chase_ [Sir Walter Scott], Vol. II-413.
+    ----, _The Water King_ [M. G. Lewis], Vol. III-92.
+    Goethe, _The Erl-King_ [M. G. Lewis], Vol. III-93.
+    ----, _The Erl-King's Daughter_ [M. G. Lewis], Vol. III-94.
+
+    The last three, however, were also in Lewis' _Ambrosio or the
+    Monk_, Philadelphia, 1798.]
+
+    [Footnote 10: Wilkens' _List_. Two selections from Buerger and
+    two from Goethe appeared in Lewis' collections, but no
+    editions of their poems exclusively were issued. Klopstock's
+    _Messiah_ was published three times before 1811, but not his
+    shorter poems.]
+
+The first translations of German poetry printed in America are to be
+sought, therefore, in the magazines and it was here also that the
+public received its first information about the lives of the German
+literati. It is the object of the present study to consider the German
+influence in the early American periodicals, treating especially the
+translations of German poetry published in them.[11] Together with
+these are to be found in Part III translations from the other Teutonic
+literatures more or less closely connected with the German, namely,
+translations of Dutch, Danish, Norwegian and Icelandic poetry, and
+also original poems on German literature, history, biography,
+etc.,--for example, _Ode on the late Victory obtained by the King of
+Prussia_, _Charlotte's Soliloquy--to the Manes of Werter_, and
+_Burlesque on the Style, in which most of the German romantic Ballads
+are written_. To this has been added a list of translations of German
+prose, and a list of original articles on Germany, etc., so that a
+complete estimate of the German influence in these magazines can thus
+be obtained.
+
+    [Footnote 11: Wilkens mentions about a dozen magazines
+    incidentally but no attempt has been made to investigate this
+    field.]
+
+The scope of the present work comprises the American magazines
+published before 1811. By the term "American magazines" is meant all
+magazines published in English, whether in the United States or
+Canada. Periodicals in German, Spanish, French or other foreign
+languages have been excluded. In as much as the study is primarily
+concerned with literature it has been necessary, on account of the
+great scope of the subject, to omit publications of a non-literary
+type, e. g., newspapers, gazettes, periodicals dealing solely with
+history, religious magazines, almanacs, etc. This method of exclusion
+is not an easy one, for during the period under discussion the
+magazine and the newspaper approached each other, the former printed
+news and the latter gave specimens of literature, usually short poems.
+It happened sometimes that a translation which appeared in a magazine
+had been printed first in a newspaper. For example, _The Name
+Unknown_, "Imitated from Klopstock's ode to his future mistress. By
+Thomas Campbell," is to be found in the _Newport Mercury_, 1803,
+Newport, just three years before it was printed in _The Evening
+Fireside_, II-165, Phila. This illustrates the importance of the
+newspaper in this connection, especially since the latter contained
+also numerous paragraphs on things German, but it is a field for
+separate investigation and in this connection must take second place
+as compared with the literary periodicals.
+
+Similarly the religious magazines often contain poems relative to our
+subject, so that it has been necessary to include some of these
+publications. Thus, the _Boston Observer and Religious Intelligencer_,
+I-152, 1835, Boston, contains the poem _Trust in God_, "Translated
+from the German," whereas others indicate on their title page their
+dual character, e. g., _The Literary and Theological Review_, 1834-39,
+N. Y., _The Monthly Miscellany of Religion and Letters_, 1839, etc.,
+Boston, and _The Monthly Mag. of Religion and Literature_, 1840,
+Gettysburg. Most of the religious magazines, however, belong to the
+period after 1810.
+
+Lastly, even some of the almanacs come almost within the range of the
+present discussion, for the earlier ones have poems[12] and
+interesting information, and were carefully read by the general
+public. Most of these had their vogue before the literary magazine
+became prominent and therefore represent a period before the German
+literary influence had made itself felt. Of those that were examined,
+none contained material to warrant their inclusion in the list given
+in Part V.
+
+    [Footnote 12: _Universal American Almanack, or Yearly Mag._,
+    1764, Phila., contains a poem entitled _Golden Verse of
+    Pythagoras_.]
+
+Whenever periodicals were found to be of the types just mentioned,
+they were omitted from further consideration. There are two other
+kinds of publications, however, that have been included in the present
+investigation. The first is the English magazine reprinted in this
+country. Since it is impossible to exclude all translations in
+American magazines made by Englishmen--as will be shown later on--it
+has been found practical to take, as the basis of selection, all
+periodicals actually published on this side of the Atlantic. The only
+examples of this class that fall within our period are _The Mirror_,
+I-II, 1803, Phila.--a reprint of a magazine of the same name, that
+appeared in Edinburgh, 1779-1780, _The Connoisseur_, I-IV, 1803,
+Phila. (London, 1755) and _The Quarterly Review_, I-IV, printed in
+London and reprinted in New York, 1810. In some instances the material
+in the American edition differs from that of the English, so that it
+is quite necessary to include this class of periodicals.
+
+The other type of publications, alluded to, is the miscellany. It
+contained poems, prose selections and articles on a wide range of
+subjects. It differed from the magazine simply in one respect, namely,
+that it was issued with less regularity. It offers, however, valuable
+additions to the present collection.[13] Thus, even by omitting all
+irrelevant publications, the field is a broad one and rich in
+important material.
+
+    [Footnote 13: _Curiosities of Literature_, 1793, Philadelphia.
+     _Miscellanies_, 1796, Burlington.
+     _A Book_, a periodical work, 1807, New York.
+     _The Thistle_, 1807, Boston.
+     _Charms of Literature_, 1808, Trenton.
+     _The Hive_, 1810, Hartford.]
+
+In any investigation of the early American magazines the difficulty of
+locating copies is apparent. The editions of many of these periodicals
+were small, especially if issued from the less important literary
+centers; so that now, after the lapse of a hundred years, their
+volumes are extremely hard to trace. Another fact that aided in the
+disappearance of these publications was their short existence. If a
+periodical, like the _American Museum_ or the _Port Folio_, ran for a
+number of years, it became well known and its volumes were carefully
+preserved. The libraries attempted to get complete sets and thus the
+magazine was made accessible for future generations. A large number of
+these magazines, however, had a precarious existence for a year or
+more, and then were discontinued for lack of support. Indeed, the many
+failures among these literary ventures cause one to wonder why others
+were undertaken, and yet year after year new magazines were launched
+on the market with full anticipation of success. This certainly
+indicates a widespread demand for this class of literature and if the
+kind offered did not happen to suit the taste, the fickle public was
+constantly deserting the old for the new.
+
+The investigator is moreover impeded in his progress by lack of
+definite and trustworthy information about these publications. There
+is no complete list of the American magazines during the years under
+discussion, although work has been done on the period to the end of
+1800. Paul Leicester Ford published a _Check-list of American
+magazines printed in the eighteenth century_ (1889, Brooklyn, N. Y.).
+This was an attempt to list all publications referred to by any
+writer, whether accessible or not. The present investigation, however,
+has brought to light thirty-five or forty volumes of magazines
+(including twenty new titles), evidently unknown to Ford, not to speak
+of several newspapers of more or less literary value; but the latter
+seem to have been omitted intentionally from the _Check-list_.
+
+Even the magazines of Philadelphia, the literary center of the country
+during the eighteenth century, have not been listed. "A complete list
+of the Philadelphia magazines is impossible. Many of them have
+disappeared and left not a rack behind. The special student of
+Pennsylvania history will detect some omissions in these pages, for
+all that has here been done has been done at first hand, and where a
+magazine was inaccessible to me, I have not attempted to see it
+through the eyes of a more fortunate investigator."[14] What is here
+said of Philadelphia is equally true of Boston, New York, Baltimore
+and the other centers of literary activity of a century ago.
+
+    [Footnote 14: Albert H. Smyth, _The Philadelphia Magazines
+    and their Contributors_, 1741-1850. Philadelphia, Robert M.
+    Lindsay, 1892. Preface, p. 5.]
+
+In spite of the difficulties just mentioned it has been possible,
+after an extended search, to find enough volumes of the magazines to
+form an almost complete list for the period in question. What
+omissions there may be are, for the most part, obscure and unimportant
+publications, which failed to attract enough attention to be included
+in the large collections of this class of literature. One condition
+favored the preservation of the American magazines; there were a few
+institutions, like the Philadelphia Library Company, the American
+Philosophical Society, and others, which were in existence during the
+period when most of these publications were issued. It has been
+possible for them to amass a fairly representative collection of
+contemporaneous literature. On the other hand, more recent
+institutions, like the Boston Public Library or the Library of
+Congress, have displayed such industry in collecting, that they now
+have splendid lists of these early periodicals.
+
+The plan of the present investigation has been, therefore, to visit
+those libraries where large numbers of the books needed are located
+and thus, by combining the material secured in the different places,
+to approach as near as possible to completeness. One library fills out
+the gaps of another and it often happens that, in order to see the
+entire set of a magazine, it is necessary to visit three or four
+libraries. A record has been kept as to where the individual volumes
+are, but as useful as this information might be for those working in
+the same or in a kindred field it has been found too complex to be
+indicated in the list of magazines given in Part V.[15] The material
+here included is based on a personal examination of about three
+hundred volumes representing one hundred and twenty-eight different
+magazines.
+
+    [Footnote 15: A list of the libraries consulted is given at
+    the beginning of Part V.]
+
+In treating the German influence in the American magazines, it is
+important to consider the position which the magazine held during this
+early period. Difference in conditions enabled the periodical to play
+quite a different role from that which it now plays. In the eighteenth
+century, as compared with the present day, free libraries were scarce
+and readers had to depend largely on the books they could buy or
+borrow. Then, too, books were expensive, because many had to be
+imported from abroad, and those printed here could not be sold as
+cheaply as now. These conditions favored the magazines, which were
+inexpensive and furnished to their readers, besides original matter,
+republications of the best literature of Europe. They kept the public
+abreast with the times and supplied the place now occupied by the
+numerous libraries and books which can be purchased at a moderate
+cost.
+
+Another element which the magazine of a century ago did not have to
+contend with so vigorously was the newspaper. The modern newspaper is
+becoming larger and larger, and is making increased demand every day
+on the time and interest of the public. In the eighteenth century and
+the first decade of the nineteenth this was not the case. To be sure,
+there were many newspapers, gazettes and advertisers, but they were
+comparatively small in size, consisting usually of only four or six
+pages. "At the period of the American Revolution, journalism had
+nowhere reached [an] advanced stage of effectiveness. In America,
+especially, the newspapers were petty, dingy, languid, inadequate
+affairs; and the department of the newspaper now devoted to editorial
+writing, then scarcely existed at all."[16] Many editors considered
+the news available to be sufficient merely for a weekly instead of a
+daily issue. This is not surprising. With the absence of the modern
+telegraph, telephone, ocean cable and steam railroad the facility for
+getting news from a distance was greatly diminished. Then, too, as the
+population of the country was much smaller than now, the most
+important domestic news could be told in a few columns. All this
+tended to keep the newspapers within moderate proportions, and
+although they were numerous, it is safe to say that they did not make
+such a demand on the reader's time as to divert his attention from a
+more serious kind of literature. People had, therefore, plenty of
+leisure for careful perusal of the magazines, and these, by giving in
+many cases a summary of the news, decreased the necessity for the
+newspaper. For advertisements and business announcements the gazettes
+and advertisers were the main source, but for general information and
+current literature persons did not have to devote so much attention to
+the newspaper.
+
+    [Footnote 16: M. C. Tyler, _The Literary History of the
+    American Revolution_, I, 1763-1776, New York, 1897, p. 18.]
+
+As far as can be learned, the magazine in this early period was
+regarded in a more serious light than to-day. It was not a means to
+while away an idle hour--something to be glanced at hastily and then
+thrown aside. The editors attempted, on the contrary, to give the best
+literature at their disposal, whether original or reprint, and
+endeavored to improve the public taste by selecting matter that would
+be acceptable to a scholarly audience. "A striking difference between
+the older magazine and the recent ones is the conspicuous absence from
+the journal of a century ago of what is commonly called 'light
+literature.'"[17]
+
+    [Footnote 17: Smyth, _op. cit._, p. 20.]
+
+Tyler mentions the same conditions. "Our colonial journalism soon
+became, in itself, a really important literary force. It could not
+remain forever a mere disseminator of public gossip, or a placard for
+the display of advertisements. The instinct of critical and brave
+debate was strong even among those puny editors, and it kept
+struggling for expression. Moreover, each editor was surrounded by a
+coterie of friends, with active brains and a propensity to utterance;
+and these constituted a sort of unpaid staff of editorial
+contributors, who, in various forms,--in letters, essays, anecdotes,
+epigrams, poems, lampoons,--helped to give vivacity and even literary
+value to the paper."[18]
+
+    [Footnote 18: M. C. Tyler, _A History of American
+    Literature_, II, 1676-1765, New York, 1878, pp. 304, 305.]
+
+Considering these facts, it is seen that the magazines of the period
+under discussion played a more important role in the cultural
+development of the people than they do now. They were not as numerous,
+nor were so many copies of each number issued then as now, but the
+population was also much smaller, and consequently a smaller number of
+periodicals sufficed, although relatively they may have been as
+numerous. One thing seems certain,--in the absence of so much other
+reading matter, the magazine went into the home and was perused with
+care by the different members of the household. We have only to refer
+to the attention given to the almanacs during a period slightly
+earlier, and these did not attempt to present as much entertaining
+literature as the magazines. The prominence of these literary
+periodicals in the development of American thought and culture is
+usually overlooked, but should certainly be recognized in the history
+of literature in America.
+
+All this is very pertinent to the subject. The importance of the
+translations and poems, here reprinted, in bringing things German
+before the American public depends naturally upon the importance of
+the channel by which they were introduced. From what has just been
+said, it is evident that the magazine not only had a wider and freer
+scope then than now, but also attempted to preserve as high a
+literary and scholarly standard as was possible for that day. What was
+admitted to its pages had therefore considerable weight and influence,
+and became known at once as far as the magazine circulated. It is for
+this reason that the appearance of so many poems and prose articles
+relating to the German countries becomes so important, and the
+interest here aroused was to increase many fold in the decades
+immediately following.
+
+The publication of translations of German poetry in the American
+magazines indicates a twofold activity. In the first place it shows
+active interest and enthusiasm on the part of a few individuals who
+read and appreciated German literature and who had the ability not
+only to understand the foreign poetry but also to translate it for
+their fellow countrymen. How many there were who could read the
+original, it is impossible to say, but these translators were
+certainly only a small part of the Americans who understood German. In
+the second place the appearance of German poems in the magazines
+indicates a growing acquaintance with German literature, on the part
+of the public at large. From the fact that the number of translations
+increased from year to year we may infer that they found favor in the
+eyes of the readers. Even if the circulation of the individual
+magazines was small, the combined effect of so many must have been
+considerable.
+
+It may seem at first thought that relatively few poems have been
+collected in proportion to the ground covered.[19] There is a
+limitation, however, that must not be overlooked. Only a small part of
+each magazine was devoted to poetry and, after the original
+productions and the republications of English verse (which naturally
+received first consideration), German could only hope for its share
+along with the other foreign literatures. It is remarkable how many
+foreign literatures are represented in the sections of these magazines
+devoted to poetry. There are translations from the Latin, French,
+German, Dutch, Danish, Norwegian, Norse (Icelandic), Italian, Spanish,
+Portuguese, Irish, Welsh, Greek, Laplandish, Persian and Turkish. In
+all this mass of translations, German ranks perhaps third as regards
+quantity; it is exceeded only by the Latin and French.[20] This is
+true, however, only for the period to the end of 1810. The situation
+in the three succeeding decades is very different, but will be
+discussed at a later time.
+
+    [Footnote 19: There are in the magazines of the period, 71
+    translations of German poetry and 10 duplicates; 68 original
+    poems and translations of other Teutonic poetry, and 24
+    duplicates.]
+
+    [Footnote 20: No list of the translations from the Latin and
+    French in these magazines has been made, so that a numerical
+    comparison with those from the German is at present
+    impossible.]
+
+There is another reason why these magazines did not contain more
+translations from the German. The period under consideration coincides
+very closely with the classical epoch of German literature and many of
+the masterpieces were not issued until near the end. _Hermann und
+Dorothea_ appeared in 1797 and _Wallenstein_ three years later, while
+_Wilhelm Tell_ was not finished until 1804 and the completed _Faust_
+(first and second parts) was published twenty-three years after the
+period closes. The dates of much of the classical German literature
+precluded the possibility of its being translated until two thirds of
+the period had passed. However valuable these works are, it is not
+remarkable that they should not have become known immediately on this
+side of the Atlantic. For the Germans here, the originals were all
+that were needed, and it naturally took some time for the English part
+of the population to realize the worth of the books and to demand
+translations. These causes, then, prevented the German influence in
+the magazines from assuming larger proportions.
+
+The period treated in the present study is from 1741 to 1810
+inclusive. The year 1741 is chosen as marking the beginning of the
+American periodicals of a literary type. The publications of an
+earlier date that were examined were devoted almost entirely to news,
+or were almanacs that contained no literary material, for example, the
+_New England Kalendar_, I, 1706, Boston, or the _New Weekly Journal_,
+1728, Boston. These have been omitted from the list. It is therefore
+not until 1741 that our period really begins. The two magazines which
+were to be the pioneers of this extensive class of American literature
+had been announced in the previous year. The _Phila. Weekly Mercury_
+(Oct. 30, 1740) gives the prospectus of a magazine to be edited by
+John Webbe and printed by Andrew Bradford; while in the _Pennsylvania
+Gazette_ (Nov. 13, 1740) Franklin announced _The General Magazine and
+Historical Chronicle for all the British Plantations in America_. A
+bitter controversy soon arose,--Franklin claiming that Webbe had
+stolen his plans, and Webbe accusing Franklin of using his position
+as Postmaster to exclude the _Mercury_ from the mail. Both magazines
+were issued in January, 1741; Webbe's journal, _The American Magazine;
+or a Monthly View of the Political State of the British Colonies_, ran
+for three months and Franklin's for six months.[21] With these, then,
+the investigation for the present subject begins. As has been
+indicated, the work has been extended to the end of the year 1840.
+After that, German literature was established as a well known factor
+in our intellectual development, as is shown by the numerous books of
+translations and imitations, and the magazines were, henceforth, less
+important in this particular. The period here treated extends only to
+the end of 1810. These years witnessed the beginning of the movement
+and the first period of considerable activity in this field. During
+the years immediately following 1810 there was a decline in the German
+literary influence in the American magazines.[22]
+
+    [Footnote 21: John Bach McMaster, _Benjamin Franklin as a Man
+    of Letters_, Boston, 1887, p. 129 seq.]
+
+    [Footnote 22: A similar decline in the German literary
+    influence was noticed also in England after 1810.]
+
+To estimate definitively the amount of literary activity in America
+with respect to things German, as illustrated by these translations
+and poems, would require considerable information concerning the
+translators. If the translator lived in England and his work was
+simply reprinted in an American magazine, the literary activity
+belongs more to England than to this country; but the fact that the
+poem was reprinted shows a desire to acquaint readers here with
+foreign poetry, the only difference being that the influence came
+through England and not from Germany direct. Where the works printed
+are from the pen of an American, they represent not only the ability
+of the writer to appreciate German, but also the active interest to
+reproduce it for the American public; the translation is then entirely
+an American product. As to Englishmen here doing this kind of work, it
+would be of advantage to know whether they were merely travelers or
+sojourners, or had been here long enough to be considered an integral
+part of our civilization. However useful this information would be, it
+is, in a majority of cases, unobtainable. Most of the translations
+appeared without any indication as to authorship. One thing that may
+partly account for this was the tendency of the early magazines to
+copy and plagiarize. Scores of poems were found which had previously
+been printed in other periodicals (American or English), but for the
+source of which no credit was given. Even the author's name was
+suppressed. In one instance an editor inserted a poem that had
+appeared in the very same magazine one or two years earlier, and yet
+the readers were to receive it as something new.[23] The only possible
+means of identification in these cases is by comparison with published
+collections of translations. Several translations have thus been
+traced to Sir Walter Scott, M. G. Lewis, William Taylor of Norwich and
+others. Many are reprints from English magazines, concerning which it
+is impossible at present to give more accurate information. The
+subject has not been investigated with respect to the English
+periodicals, and since their number is far greater than the American,
+it would require a separate study to prepare a list of translations
+from the German published in them. It is, therefore, impracticable to
+exclude from the present discussion translations and poems by
+Englishmen, for it is only where the author's name is mentioned, or a
+note given, stating that the translation was made for such and such a
+magazine, that we can be sure whether it was an American product or
+not. The important fact is that the translation appeared in America
+and helped to make known to American readers certain specimens of
+German literature.
+
+    [Footnote 23: _The Moss Rose_, From the German [of
+    Krummacher]. _The Minerva_, I-40, May 4, 1822 and II-296,
+    Dec. 20, 1823, N. Y.]
+
+In the selection of material certain limitations were necessary. In
+the list of prose translations and articles dealing with the German
+countries, everything has been mentioned which refers directly or
+indirectly to Germany. This is important in giving a complete estimate
+of the interest shown, for there was a desire to know something about
+German prose works, German biography and history as well as German
+poetry. From the list of translations reprinted here, however, have
+been excluded all translations of dramas except certain selections,
+such as songs or short scenes approaching the lyrical mood. In most of
+the portions of dramas reproduced the passages are too long for
+republication or the interest is wholly dramatic and not lyric. The
+subject of the present study is, then, specifically--the German lyric
+poetry which appeared in English in the magazines of America.
+
+The term "poetry" is here taken in a liberal sense and includes more
+than the translations of German verse alone. Some translations were
+found whose originals, though prosaic in form, are poetic in content.
+This was readily recognized by the translators, who have accordingly
+given metrical renderings. For example, we have _Letter LXI of the
+Sorrows of Werter Versified_; four of Gessner's prose idyls have been
+rendered into verse, and in the later period Krummacher's prose fable,
+_The Moss Rose_, appears five times in verse (1819, 1822, 1823, 1829,
+1831) and twice in prose (1827, 1833). Similarly, prose translations
+of German verse have been included, e. g., two fables from Gellert
+(1796), _Morning_, from Haller (1793), and the Swiss song, _Ranz des
+Vaches_ (1805).[24] On the other hand, prose translations of Gessner's
+prose idyls are recorded by title only. Another poem of a different
+class must be mentioned. In the volumes examined only one German poem
+written in America was found. This was _Hoffnung_ by "Adelio" and a
+note stated that it was written "For the Philadelphia Repository"
+(Feb. 18, 1804, Phila.). At the end were the words: "A poetical
+translation is requested." The following number (Feb. 25) contained a
+translation.
+
+    [Footnote 24: The _Ranz des Vaches_ has also four metrical
+    versions:
+
+    1833--_The Lady's Book_, VI-164.
+    1833--_The Juvenile Rambler_, II-84.
+    1835--_Amer. Mo. Mag._, V-424.
+    1809--_The Visitor_, I-72 (entitled _Cow Boy's Chant_).]
+
+Another group of poems calling for some attention includes those
+translated from the French. These are of two kinds. In the first place
+there are poems written in French by Germans or Swiss, such as the
+poems of Frederick the Great, and also the _Ranz des Vaches_. As to
+the latter, the French verses are given in two instances together with
+the translation,[25] so that it is certain what the original was. In
+other instances no mention is made of the source. Since part of the
+population of Switzerland has always been German, a German form of the
+song very likely existed. It is difficult, therefore, to say whether
+this or the French version was used by the translator. The title is
+French but this might have been retained for the German stanzas.
+
+    [Footnote 25: _Boston Weekly Mag._, III-60, Feb. 2, 1805,
+    Boston.
+
+    _The Visitor_, I-72, June 3, 1809, Richmond. ]
+
+The second class of translations from the French comprehends those
+from authors who usually wrote in German; thus, _Navigation_, "From
+the French of Gessner" (1803), and _The Usurer_, "From the French of
+Gellert" (_Port Folio_, XVI-245, 1823). Either these may have been
+taken from French translations of the German,[26] or the word "French"
+may be a mistake.[27] This second group has been classed with the
+translations of German poetry (Part II); while the first group from
+the French belongs to Part III.
+
+    [Footnote 26: The British Museum catalogue mentions "_Fables
+    et Contes_ [trans. principally from the German of C. F.
+    Gellert, etc.], 1754."]
+
+    [Footnote 27: Cf. _The Earth's Division_, "Trans. from Goethe
+    [sic], by L. E. L." _Waldie's Port Folio_, Part I-123, Apr.
+    11, 1835, Phila.
+
+    Also, _Benevolence_, "A Fable from the German of Galleret"
+    [sic], 1802.]
+
+No attempt is here made to discuss the critical estimate that the
+Americans of this period placed upon German literature. This would
+require a consideration of all the prose articles, whereas the present
+study has been devoted entirely to the poetry. It is hoped that, from
+the list given in Part IV, such information may be obtained. Besides
+the several paragraphs on German literati, the individual poems are
+often preceded by an introductory note praising the original of the
+translation. Even back in the eighteenth century, people were
+considering the utility of the modern languages as opposed to the
+classics. The _American Museum_, for example, published a _Speech on
+the learned languages_, by the Hon. Francis Hopkinson, which concludes
+with the remark that the "languages most in use are, in truth, the
+most useful to be known."[28]
+
+    [Footnote 28: _Amer. Mus._, III, Jan.-June, 1788, p. 539. Cf.
+    Part IV, p. 194; also the remark of W. E. Channing, Part I,
+    p. 1.]
+
+On the other hand there were unsympathetic writers who ridiculed the
+Germans and their literature. The _Monthly Magazine_ published a
+letter entitled _Literary Industry of the Germans_, which decried
+their pedantic scholarship in unprofitable directions.[29] This attack
+is also expressed in the form of parodies, of which the following
+were found: _The Wolf King_, a satire on _The Water King_, _The Fire
+King_, etc. (1802), _The Paint King_, a burlesque on _The Cloud King_,
+_The Fire King_ and others (1809, 1833), _Against Faustus_ (1804),
+_The Squeaking Ghost_, "a tale imitated from the German, according to
+the true and genuine principles of the horrifick" (1808, 1809, 1810),
+_Parody on Buerger's Earl Walter_ (1807), _Ode to the German Drama_,
+"Parody of Gray's Ode to Adversity" (1806), and _Burlesque on the
+style in which most of the German romantic ballads are written_ (1799,
+1801). In some of these instances the parodies may denote no real
+hostility but merely a rhymester's attempt to be clever.
+
+    [Footnote 29: "A German writer, L. W. Bruggeman, has
+    published, at Stettin, in Pomerania, a Prussian province, a
+    work, in English, on which he has laboured twenty-five years.
+    It contains _a view of all the English editions, translations
+    and illustrations of the ancient Greek and Latin authors_. In
+    the execution of this work, he has been at great expense,
+    being obliged to purchase and import a great number of
+    English books. This is a very curious specimen of learned
+    perseverance and labour. That a man should spend his life in
+    recounting the translations of ancient authors into a
+    language foreign to his own! It is one of the most difficult,
+    tiresome, unpopular, and unprofitable branches of the trade.
+    Germany, however, affords innumerable instances of this kind
+    of literary diligence. There is a press at Leipsic abundantly
+    supplied with editions and interpretations of Chinese,
+    Abyssinian, Coptic and Syriac productions."
+
+    _Mo. Mag. and Amer. Rev._, II-8, 1800, N. Y.]
+
+It is worthy of note that several of the poems in these magazines may
+be grouped together, thus indicating particular interest in certain
+subjects. Each group forms, as it were, a cycle, though the individual
+poems were usually written by different persons. One of these groups
+attests the popularity of Frederick the Great, even before the
+American Revolution. The translations from his poetry are: _Relaxation
+of War_ (1758, 1795, 1798), _The King of Prussia's Ode imitated in
+rhime_ (1758), _A literal translation of the King of Prussia's Ode_
+(1758), _Translation of an Epistle from the King of Prussia to
+Monsieur Voltaire_ (1759), _Ode to Death_ (1786, 1806), _Prayer of
+Frederick II in Behalf of Poets_ (1805), and _A Song_ (1811). The
+original poems about Frederick are: _Winter_, a poem, containing a
+reference to "great Frederick's noble feats" (1758), _On the compleat
+Victory ..._ (1758), _Ode on the late Victory obtained by the King of
+Prussia_ (1758), _On the glorious Victory ..._ (1758), _The Third
+Psalm paraphrased_, "Alluding to his Prussian Majesty" (1758), _On
+reading in the publick Papers ..._ (1758), _The Royal Comet_,
+referring to "Prussia's great Frederick" (1758), and _Mr. Voltaire's
+letter to his Prussian Majesty, Translated_ (1758).
+
+Another group treats the kings of the natural elements, so common in
+German literature: _The Erl King_ (1798, July 1833, Sept. 1833, 1835,
+1836, 1838, 1839), _The Erl King's Daughter_ (1798), _The Water King_,
+a Danish Ballad (1798), _The Wolf King_, a parody on _The Water King_,
+_The Fire King_, etc. (1802), _Hrim Thor, or the Winter King_ (1802),
+_Grim, King of the Ghosts_ (1802) and _The Paint King_, a burlesque
+on _The Cloud King_, _The Fire King_, etc. (1809, 1810, 1833). This
+interest in the weird element explains the popularity of Buerger's
+_Lenore_, which appears in translation in 1798, 1801, 1804, 1823,
+1836, 1839, 1840.
+
+Switzerland is described in a variety of poems, treating all phases of
+the life and scenery. The most prominent among them is the Swiss song,
+which is variously translated as the _Ranz des Vaches_, the _Cow Boy's
+Chant_, and _The Song of the Swiss in a Strange Land_ (1805, Oct. 15,
+Oct. 29, Nov. 1, Nov. 8, Dec. 17, 1808, June, June 3, 1809, twice in
+1833 and once in 1835). In addition to the translations, there are
+four imitations of the same poem: _The Swiss Exiles' Song_ (1835),
+_The Switzer's Return_ [from America] (1836), _The Switzer's Song of
+Home_ (1837, 1838), and _The Swiss Emigrant's Dream of Home_
+(1840).[30]
+
+    [Footnote 30: A translation of Schiller's _Ranz des Vaches in
+    "William Tell"_ is given in _The Constellation_, III-266,
+    July 7, 1832, N. Y.]
+
+The last group of poems to be mentioned refers to Goethe's novel, _Die
+Leiden des jungen Werthers_. This was evidently popular in America,
+though by no means causing the widespread delirium and sentimentality
+that had been rife in Germany. During our period the book was
+published here six times in translation, and an English imitation,
+_The Letters of Charlotte, during her Connexion with Werter_, had
+three American reprints.[31] These, together with translations
+imported from England, must have made Werter well known in this
+country. It is not surprising, therefore, to find in the magazines
+eight poems on the subject: _Narcissa_, containing a reference to
+Werter in the third stanza (1787), _Charlotte's Soliloquy--to the
+Manes of Werter_ (1787), _Death of Werter_ (1787), _Werter's Epitaph_
+(1787, 1791, 1805), _On Reading the Sorrows of Werter_ (1790), _Letter
+LXI of the Sorrows of Werter, Versified_ (1791), _Werter's Farewell to
+Charlotte_ (1798) and _Charlotte at the Tomb of Werter_ (1809).
+
+    [Footnote 31: Wilkens, _op. cit._, p. 164 seq.]
+
+The early American magazines, then, were instrumental in making German
+literature and especially German poetry known in America. It was
+possible for them to print translations of individual poems of an
+author long before there was a demand for them in book form. Gessner,
+Buerger, Gellert, Lessing and others have already been mentioned in
+this connection. It is interesting to note just what poets were
+introduced to the American public by means of the magazines. Gessner
+and Buerger were the most popular, the former appearing twenty-five
+times and the latter ten times before 1811. Gessner was perhaps the
+German poet best known in America. During this period his _Death of
+Abel_ had no less than sixteen American imprints and four imitations,
+while translations of his _Idyls_ appeared in book form twice in 1802
+and once in 1807.[32] Buerger, on the other hand, was known only
+through these poems in the magazines, or perhaps through imported
+books. No volume of translations of his poems belongs to this period
+of American printing.

+
+After these, Gellert, Lessing and Haller had some share of recognition
+both by translation and criticism. Goethe, as has been shown, was
+known as the author of _Werter_. As for his lyrical productions, only
+two appeared, _The Erl-King_ (1798) and _Frederick and Alice_,
+"Imitated rather than translated from a fragment introduced in
+Goethe's _Claudine von Villa Bella_" (1807). Other poets, like Jacobi,
+Klopstock, Matthisson, Kotzebue, Patzke or Buerde, found an occasional
+admirer, but not enough was done to bring their characteristics
+plainly before the public. In addition to these, there were numerous
+parodies and original poems, which helped to emphasize the importance
+of things German. This influence, moreover, was aided by the
+translations of prose works and by articles on German literature,
+history and biography, which are scattered through the pages of these
+periodicals. The American magazines accomplished considerable for
+German in this country. The movement here treated grew until it
+assumed a widespread importance a few decades later, but the period to
+the end of 1810 is interesting as marking the beginning. It was the
+first epoch of this type of literary activity in America.

+    Hark! the majestic sound! the trumpet hear!

+    Oh God! my Savior! 'tis thy voice I hear!
+      And with my child, I come t'eternal day,
+    Awake my infant; open now thine eyes,
+      Leave the corruption of thy mortal birth,
+    Arise my child, to thy Redeemer rise,
+      And taste at length the joy denied on earth,
+    Before his face death must yield to life;
+      Hope to real joy ... there, purged from sins,
+    Serenety succeeds to grief and strife, Time flies...
+          Eternity begins.

+           LETTER LXI. OF THE SORROWS OF WERTER, VERSIFIED.
+
+    Though Homer fired my youthful breast,
+    My tender fancy deep imprest,
+      Ere grief had made me smart:
+    Yet of him Ossian has ta'en place;
+    His woe-fraught strains, with solemn grace,
+      Now occupy my heart.
+
+    To what a world of direful kind,
+    The Bard illustrious leads my mind,
+      'Midst heaths and wilds to stray;
+    Where the fierce whirlwinds sweep the plain;
+    Where the moon feebly holds her reign;
+      And ghosts elude the day.
+
+    To hear from off the mountains steep,
+    The plaintive sounds, from caverns deep,
+      Of water's dismal roar:
+    To hear the maiden's doleful cries,
+    That on her warrior's tomb-stone dies,
+      Who her did much adore.
+
+    I meet this bard of silver hair,
+    He wanders in the valley drear,
+      Whilst grief his mind consumes:
+    His father's footsteps tries to trace
+    In vain, for time does them efface;
+      He only finds their tombs.
+
+    The pale moon sinks, amid the waves,
+    He contemplates her as she laves
+      Her tresses in the sea:
+    Reflects on time for ever gone,
+    When danger pleased and spurred him on,
+      Till every foe did flee.
+
+    When he returned on evening grey,
+    The moon shone on his Bark of prey,
+      His trophies won, displayed:
+    When by his countenance, I find
+    Deep-rooted sorrow fill his mind,
+      That youth so soon decayed.
+
+    When I perceive that glory bright
+    To fade so soon, to sink in night,
+      And tottering to the grave:
+    And when around he casts an eye
+    On the cold earth, where he must die,
+      The fate of e'en the brave.--
+
+    The traveller will come, he cries,
+    He'll come who saw my beauty rise,
+      And anxiously enquire;
+    Where is the bard and warrior gone,
+    Where is Fingal's illustrious son,
+      Whither does he retire.
+
+    Then searching o'er the field and mead,
+    He lightly on my tomb shall tread,
+      But me he ne'er shall find:
+    Then I, my friend, like a true knight,
+    My sword shall draw, my prince to right,
+      And ease his troubled mind.
+
+    And this atchieved, with grief opprest,
+    Could plunge it deep in my own breast,
+      And eager for him bleed:
+    To follow him now half divine,
+    Hero of the Fingalian line,
+      Who by my hand was freed.

+                             THE MORNING.
+                              BY HALLER.
+
+The moon retires--Nature's dark veil no more obscures the air and
+earth--the twinkling stars disappear and the reviving warmth of the
+sun awakens all creatures.
+
+Already are the heavens adorned with its purple hues and its sparkling
+sapphires. Aurora, fair harbinger of the day, graciously dispenses
+smiles; and brightness of the roses which wreath her forehead
+dissipates the mists of night.
+
+The flaming of the world advances from the eastern gate, triumphantly
+treading on the shining splendours of the milky way; clouds covered
+with Heaven's rubies, oppose him with their lightning, and a flame of
+gold spreads itself around the horizon.
+
+The roses open to salute the sun with genial dews; and the lilies
+exhale delicious odours from their sattin'd leaves.
+
+The vigilant hind flies to the labour-giving field; he guides with
+careful pleasure the earth-piercing plough; in the meantime his ears
+are delighted by the lightsome band of minstrels, which sweeten the
+air and the woods with their melodious notes. Thus doth benignant
+Heaven lighten the heavy pressure of toilful industry! O Creator! all
+that I see are the effects of thy power! thou art the soul of nature
+and doth actuate every part! the stated periods and glittering
+appearance of yon orbs, and the unquenched fires of the revolving sun,
+proceed from thy hands, and boast thy impression!
+
+Thou illumest the solemn moon to guide us amid darkness; thou dost
+lend wings to the unseen wind, and by night thou dost enrich the earth
+with fruitful dews.
+
+From the dust thou hast formed yon proud-topt mountain; from sand hast
+thou produced metals; thou hast spread yon firmament, and thou hast
+clothed it with clouds, that it may remain unpolluted by the exploring
+eye of man.
+
+Thou hast wonderfully formed the veins of that fish which causes
+rivers to overflow, and which makes whirlpools, and spreads
+devastation with the flappings of his tail. Thou hast built the
+elephant, and thou hast animated its enormous bulk, that it resembles
+a moving mountain. Thou supportest yon splendid arches of the heavens
+upon the vast void; and with thy word thou hast produced from chaos
+this wondrous universe, filling it with order, and giving it no other
+limit than its grandeur.
+
+Great God! created spirits are too insignificant to raise the glory of
+thy works! We lose ourselves in their immensity. To tell them one must
+resemble thyself on infinity. Humbly contented, I remain in my own
+prescribed circle. Incomprehensible Being! thy resplendent glories
+blind the presuming eye of man! and He from whom the earth receives
+its being, needs not the praises of a worm!

+
+While a nightingale chanted in the midst of a forest, the neighbouring
+hills and vallies were delighted with her exquisite melody. Every
+wild bird forgot to sing, listening with fond admiration. Aurora
+tarried behind the hill, attending to her musical cadences; and
+Philomel, in honor of the goddess, warbled with unusual sweetness. At
+that she paused, and the lark took the opportunity of thus addressing
+her; 'Your music meets with just approbation; the variety, the
+clearness, and tenderness of the notes are inimitable; nevertheless,
+in one circumstance I am entitled to a preference. My melody is
+uninterrupted; and every morning is ushered with my gratulations. Your
+song on the contrary, is heard but seldom; and, except during a few
+weeks in the Summer, you have no claim to peculiar attention.' 'You
+have mentioned,' replied the Nightingale, 'the very cause of my
+superior excellence. I attend to, and obey, the dictates of Nature. I
+never sing but by her incitements; nor even yield to importunate, but
+uninspired inclination.'

+
+Clarine loved her husband with sincere affection--for he was a husband
+to her mind. Their desires and aversions were the same. It was
+Clarine's study to be agreeable, and by unwearied attention, to
+anticipate her husband's wishes. "Such a wife," says my male reader,
+who has thoughts of matrimony, "such a wife would I desire."--And such
+a wife mayst thou obtain.--Clarine's husband fell sick--a dangerous
+illness.--"No hope" said the physician, and shook his awful whig.
+Bitterly wept Clarine. "O death!" she cried, "O death! might I prefer
+a petition? Spare my husband; let me be the victim in his stead."
+Death heard, appeared, and "What," said the grim spectre, "is thy
+request?" "There," said Clarine sore dismayed, "There he lies;
+overcome with agony he implores thy speedy relief."

+                     (in imitation of Matthison).
+
+    Once more could I wish, ere yet my blest spirit
+        Sunk in Elysium, peaceful mansion of shades!
+      That spot t' revisit, where Infancy
+          In dreams aerial, play'd 'round my brows.
+
+      The shrub of my country, whose branches o'erspread
+    The cool nest of the patridge, waves gentler my friend,
+        Than all the gay forests of laurel
+          O'er the dust of the world's mighty conq'rors.
+
+      The streamlet of that mead, where in childhood
+        I cull'd early violets, more musically murmurs
+          'Midst the alders once rear'd by my sire,
+            Than the silver Blandusian fountain.
+
+      The hill, on which swains, in bands youthful and gay
+    Danc'd 'round the trunk of the sweet blossom'd poplar,
+        With greater rapture inspir'd my heart,
+      Than Alps dazzling heights in roset glimm'ring.
+
+      Therefore could I wish, ere yet my blest spirit
+        Sunk in Elysium, peaceful mansion of shades
+          That spot t' revisit, where infancy
+      In dreams aerial, play'd 'round my brows.
+

+
+    O'er Howard's tomb soft Pity weeps,

+
+    But want of fortune oft, too oft,
+      Her charitable views withstood;
+    For what, alas! avails the will,
+      Without the power of doing good?
+
+    Her uncle dies and leaves his niece
+      A clear two thousand pounds per ann.
+    "Ah! now," she cries, "I'm blest indeed,
+      "I'll help the poor where'er I can."
+
+    Scarce had she spoke, when, at her door
+      An old decrepid wretch appears;
+    Bent on his crutch he begs an alms,
+      And moves her pity with his tears.
+
+    Belinda felt for his distress,
+      She heav'd a sigh and shook her head;
+    Then to this aged son of woe
+      Stretch'd forth a--crust of mouldy bread.

+                            PRO PATRIA MORI
+                      From the German of Buerger.
+
+    For virtue, freedom, human rights, to fall,
+      Beseems the brave: it is a Saviour's death.
+    Of heroes only the most pure of all,
+      Thus with their heart's blood tinge the battle-heath.
+
+    And this proud death is seemliest in the man
+      Who for a kindred race, a country bleeds:
+    Three hundred Spartans from the shining van
+      Of those, whom fame in this high triumph leads.
+
+    Great is the death for a good prince incurr'd;
+      Who wields the sceptre with benignant hand:
+    Well may for him the noble bare his sword,
+      Falling he earns the blessings of a land.
+
+    Death for a friend, parent, child, or her we love,
+      If not so great, is beauteous to behold:
+    This the fine tumults of the hearts approve;
+      It is the walk to death unbought of gold.
+
+    But for mere majesty to meet a wound--
+      Who holds that great or glorious, he mistakes:
+    That is the fury of the pamper'd hound,
+      Which envy, anger, or the whip, awakes.
+
+    And for a tyrant's sake to seek a jaunt
+      To hell ----'s a death which only hell enjoys;
+    Where such a hero falls--the gibbet plant,
+      A murderer's trophy, and a plunderer's prize.

+                     (From the German of Lessing.)
+
+Believe me, my friend, the great world is not suited to philosophers
+or poets. We are insensible to their real worth; and they, alas! are
+often weak enough to exchange it for a mere nothing.
+
+In early ages the swallow was as tuneful and melodious a bird as the
+nightingale; but she soon became weary of residing in solitary groves
+to excite the admiration of none but the industrious peasant and the
+innocent shepherdess. She left her humble friends, and removed into
+town. What was the consequence? As the inhabitants of the city had not
+leisure to attend to her divine song, she gradually forgot it, and in
+its stead learned to--build.

+            (The Original is by Goethe, Author of Werter.)
+
+      Who is it that rides through the forest so fast,
+      While night frowns around him, while chill roars the blast?
+      The father, who holds his young son in his arm,
+      And close in his mantle has wrapped him up warm.
+
+    --"Why trembles my darling? Why shrinks he with fear?"
+      "Oh father! my father! the Erl-king is near!
+      The Erl-king, with his crown and his beard long and white!"
+    --"Oh! thine eyes are deceived by the vapours of night."
+
+    --"If you will, dear baby, with me go away,
+      I will give you fine clothes; we will play a fine play;
+      Fine flowers are growing, white, scarlet and blue,
+      On the banks of yon river, and all are for you."
+
+    --"Oh father! my father! and dost thou not hear
+      What words the Erl-king whispers low in mine ear?"--
+    --"Now hush thee, my darling, thy terrors appease:
+      Thou hear'st 'midst the branches when murmurs the breeze."
+
+    --"If you will, dear baby, with me go away,
+      My daughter shall tend you so fair and so gay;
+      My daughter, in purple and gold who is drest,
+      Shall nurse you, and kiss you, and sing you to rest."
+
+    --"Oh father! my father! and dost thou not see?
+      The Erl-king and his daughter are waiting for me?"
+    --"Now shame thee, my dearest! 'tis fear makes thee blind:
+      Thou seest the dark willows which wave in the wind."--
+
+    --"I love you! I dote on that face so divine!
+      I must and will have you, and force makes you mine!"
+    --"My father! my father! Oh hold me now fast!
+      He pulls me! he hurts, and will have me at last!"--
+
+      The father, he trembled; he doubled his speed:
+      O'er hills and through forests he spurred his black steed:
+      But when he arrived at his own castle-door,
+      Life throbbed in the sweet baby's bosom no more.

+                 LYCAS; OR THE INVENTIONS OF GARDENS.
+                 Attempted from the Idyls of Gessner.
+
+    The stormy winter drives us from the green,
+    Nor leaves a flower to decorate the scene;
+    The winds arise--with sweep impetuous blow,
+    And whirl around the flakes of fleecy snow;
+    Yet shall imagination fondly rise
+    And gather fair ideas as she flies:
+    The images that blooming spring pourtrays,
+    The sweets that bask in summer's sultry rays,
+    The rich and varied fruits of autumn's reign
+    Shall ope their treasures, in a bounteous train;
+    Of these the best, with choicest care display'd,
+    Shall form a wreath, for thee, my lovely maid!
+    So the fond shepherd, for his darling fair,
+    Culls beauteous flowers to deck her flowing hair.
+    The garden's rise shall grace my humble strains;
+    If Daphne smiles 'twill well repay my pains!
+    'Twas, in the morn of youth, a shepherd found
+    This happy art to decorate the ground;
+    This is the spot, the enamour'd Lycas cries,
+    Lycas the young, the gentle and the wise;
+    Under this elm, fair Adelaide first gave
+    The kiss of love to her devoted slave!
+    Whilst he, in am'rous accents told his flame,
+    With beating heart and agitated frame!
+    Here faint and weak my charmer sank to rest,
+    On the warm pillow of my panting breast!
+    "Lycas," with interrupting sobs, she said,
+    "Take the soft secret of an am'rous maid:
+    Of all the swains that strive this heart to move,
+    'Tis Lycas only Adelaide can love!
+    Ye peaceful groves--ye solitary springs--
+    To you I oft confess'd my secret stings!
+    And ye, sweet flowers bear witness to the truth
+    Of the soft flame that prey'd upon my youth;
+    Oft have your leaves that round me clust'ring grew,
+    Drank my warm tears as drops of morning dew."
+    My heart is full--what transport is my own!
+    For, in my bosom, love has fixed his throne.
+    Sacred to love this spot shall ever stand
+    Deck'd with luxuriant beauties by my hands.
+    Under this elm, the shadiest of the trees,
+    The rose shall pour its odours on the breeze;
+    Around its trunk the woodbine too shall rear
+    Its white and purple flowers aloft in air.
+    The treasures of the spring shall hither flow;
+    The piony by the lily here shall blow.
+    Over the hills, and through the meads I'll roam,
+    And bring the blooming spoils in rapture home:
+    The purple violet, the pink shall join,
+    The od'rous shrubs shall all their sweets combine,
+    Of these a grove of balmy sort shall rise,
+    And, with its fragrant blossoms, scent the skies!
+    Then round this little favour'd isle, I'll bring,
+    With gentle windings, yonder silver spring;
+    While eglantine and thorn shall interpose
+    Their hedge, a rampart 'gainst invading foes--
+    Lest sheep and rambling goats the place annoy,
+    And spoil the promise of our future joy.
+    Oh then approach, ye favour'd of the loves!
+    Come and dwell here ye gentle turtle doves!
+    On yonder spreading branches, perch'd on high,
+    With coos repeated greet the lover's sigh!
+    Then sportive sparrows round the roses play,
+    And sing, delighted, from the bending spray!
+    Ye butterflies, arrayed in coats of gold,
+    On beds of roses fluttering revels hold!
+    Here rest, upon the lily's waving stalk,
+    And add new beauty to the evening walk.
+    Then shall the shepherd passing, free from care,
+    When zephyr spreads the perfumes thro' the air,
+    Inhale the fragrance, and with transport cry,
+    What hallow'd place is this? what goddess nigh?
+    Does Venus own this gay, enchanted place?
+    Or has Diana, wearied in the chace,
+    Chosen a spot where choicest sweets abound,
+    To slumber on the consecrated ground?

+                               MYRTILLO.
+            An idyl, attempted from the German of Gessner.
+
+    At peaceful eve, Myrtillo sought the lake,
+    Whilst the moon's beams upon its bosom played;
+    The silent tract, illumin'd by its rays,
+    The nightingale's enchanting tender note,
+    Had held him bound in rapture's soothing trance.
+    At length, arous'd, he homeward took his steps,
+    And in the verdant bower, where clust'ring vines
+    Before his lonely dwelling formed a porch
+    Of simple structure, deeply slumbering found
+    His venerable parent--his grey head
+    Supported by his arm, while through the leaves
+    The moon-beams pour'd their lustre on his face.
+    With arms enfolded, and with swelling heart,
+    He stood before his father--long he stood,
+    His pious eyes fix'd fondly on the sage,
+    Then rais'd them, swimming with his filial tears,
+    And thro' the illumin'd leaves look'd up to heaven,
+    Whilst grateful drops roll'd down his moisten'd cheek.
+    Oh thou! at length he cried, whom, next the gods,
+    I reverence, my father--ah, how soft
+    Thy peaceful slumbers! Of the just and good
+    How placid is the sleep! Thy tottering steps
+    Were, doubtless, hither bent, in silent prayer
+    To spend the hour of eve; but, at thy task
+    Of duty, slumber seiz'd thee, whilst, for me,
+    Thy prayer of love was wing'd into the skies,
+    How happy is my lot! the fav'ring gods
+    Must hear thy fond petition; else, why stands
+    Our cot secure, amid the branches, bent
+    With ripening fruit? why, else, such blessings shower'd
+    Upon our healthy, fast increasing herd?
+    Upon the golden produce of our fields?
+    When oft the tear of joy bedew'd thy cheek,
+    To see me, anxious, cherish and support
+    Thy feeble age; when, towards the vault of heaven,
+    You turn'd your swimming eyes, and blest your son;
+    Ah! then, what words his blessings could express!
+    My bosom swell'd with transport, and the tears
+    O'erflow'd my glowing cheeks--
+    When yester morn, reclining on my arm,
+    You left our cot to feel the quickening beams
+    Of the warm sun, and saw about thee sport
+    The frolic herd, the trees, with fruit o'ercharg'd,
+    And all the fertile country blooming round,
+    "My hairs grow grey in peace," were then thy words;
+    "Fields of my youth, be ever, ever blest!
+    "My eyes, grow dim, shall not much longer view
+    "Your heart-delighting scenes, for happier plains
+    "Must I exchange you--plains beyond the skies."
+    Ah, father, best belov'd, must I so soon
+    Lose thee! my nearest friend!--distressing thought!
+    Close to thy tomb, with filial love, I'll raise
+    A modest altar, and with ardour seek
+    Each blest occasion to relieve the woes
+    Of the oppressed and wretched; on each day,
+    That gives the happy chance of doing good,
+    I'll pour sweet milk upon a parent's grave,
+    And strew with flowers the ever sacred spot--
+    He paus'd but kept his eyes, suffus'd with tears,
+    Fix'd on the good old man; then, sighing; said,
+    How still he lies, and smiles amidst his slumbers!
+    Some of his virtuous deeds must hover o'er,
+    In peaceful dreams, and fill his cheerful soul;
+    Whilst the moon pours her rays upon his bare
+    And shining temples, and his silver beard;
+    Oh may the breeze, and dewy damps of eve--
+    Do thee no harm. Then gently did he kiss
+    His aged forehead, gently wak'd him up,
+    And led him to his cot, in lighter sleep,
+    On softest furs, to slumber out the night.

+
+                    MYRTIL.
+
+    Whither so early sister, ere the sun,
+    Has, from behind yon hill, his course begun?
+    Scarce has the swallow to the morning ray,
+    Ventur'd to modulate his twittering lay.
+    The early cock, whom richest plumes adorn
+    Has yet but faintly hail'd the golden morn;
+    Whilst thou, to some unknown attraction true,
+    With hasty footsteps brush the silv'ry dew!
+    What festival to-day, do you prepare,
+    For fill'd with flowers, your basket scents the air.
+
+                    DAPHNE.
+
+    Welcome dear brother, whither points thy way,
+    Amidst the chilly damps of early day?
+    On what fair purpose from yon new form'd bower,
+    Hast thou come forth at twilight's silent hour?
+    For me--I've pluck'd the violet and the rose,
+    And sought each flower that round our cottage grows.
+    Whilst o'er our parents gentle slumbers spread
+    Their wings, I'll strew them on their peaceful bed;
+    Then when the sunbeams gild the glowing skies
+    Midst fragrant scents, they'll ope their aged eyes;
+    Their hearts shall then with pious joy rebound,
+    To find the blooming flowers, clust'ring round.
+
+                    MYRTIL.
+
+      My best belov'd, not life itself can prove,
+    Pleasing to me without a sister's love.
+    For me, dear girl, when yester eve we met,
+    Just as the sun had made a golden set,
+    Our parent, resting on our fav'rite hill,
+    Whilst we with fond attention watch'd his will;
+    "How sweet (he cried) on yonder spot to rear,
+    A shady bower to rest in, free from care!"
+    I heard his wish as though I heard it not,
+    Yet kept my thoughts fix'd firmly on the spot,
+    And ere her early beams Aurora sent,
+    My hasty steps toward the hill I bent,
+    And rear'd the bower and to its verdant side,
+    The waving, hazle branches, closely tied;
+    See, sister, see, the work at length is done;
+    Betray me not till I've his blessing won,
+    Till he himself shall thither bend his way;
+    Ah, then, with joy we'll celebrate the day.
+
+                    DAPHNE.
+
+    How grateful, brother, will be his surprize,
+    When first the distant bower shall greet his eyes!
+    But let me haste and gently o'er their bed,
+    My morning offering of fragrance spread.
+
+                    MYRTIL.
+
+      When they shall wake amid the fragrant pile,
+    They'll greet each other with a tender smile;
+    And say, this is our Daphne's work, sweet child;
+    Thus has our love the morning hours beguil'd.
+    For our delight, how tender 'tis to keep
+    A studious care whilst we were lock'd in sleep.
+
+                    DAPHNE.
+
+    Yes, brother, when at his accustomed hour,
+    Opening his casement he shall view thy bower,
+    "Sure (he'll exclaim) I do not see aright,
+    Or on yon hill an arbor greets my sight;
+    Yes, that is Myrtil's work,--for this bereft
+    Of his sweet sleep, his nightly couch he left:
+    Such are the plans, his filial thoughts engage,
+    And thus he soothes our fast declining age."
+      And when with joy we'll greet the morning ray,
+    With joy we'll celebrate the happy day,
+    Each work to-day commenc'd shall prosper well,
+    And peace and joy in every grove shall dwell.

+
+      Delia! when in your lover's eyes,
+    At your approach soft lustre rise,
+    When with charm'd ear, from thy sweet tongue,
+    He listens to the thrilling song,
+    O'er saddest scenes delights you fling,
+    And winter wears the smile of spring.
+
+      When o'er the mead with you I stray,
+    More fragrant is the new-mown hay,

+    The buds more vivid swell with pride,
+    And bend, your snowy hand to meet,
+    Or am'rous twine beneath your feet.
+
+      But when within your arms you press me,
+    When with a long, long kiss you bless me,
+    Ah! then in vain, the fairest flow'rs
+    Exert their balmy-breathing pow'rs;
+    In vain her sweets does Nature bring,

+                             LEONORA. [b].
+                       A Tale, from the German.
+
+    "Ah, William! art thou false or dead?"
+    Cried Leonora from her bed.
+      "I dreamt thou'dst ne'er return."
+    William had fought in Frederick's host
+    At Prague--and what his fate--if lost
+      Or false, she could not learn.
+
+    Hungaria's queen and Prussia's king,
+    Wearied, at length with bickering,
+      Resolv'd to end the strife;
+    And homewards, then, their separate routs
+    The armies took, with songs and shouts,
+      With cymbals, drum and fife.
+
+    As deck'd with boughs they march'd along,
+    From every door, the old and young
+      Rush'd forth the troops to greet.
+    "Thank God," each child and parent cry'd,
+    And "welcome, welcome," many a bride,
+      As friends long parted meet.
+
+    They joy'd, poor Leonora griev'd:
+    No kiss she gave, no kiss receiv'd;
+      Of William none could tell;
+    She rung her hands, and tore her hair;
+    Till left alone in deep despair,
+      Bereft of sense, she fell.
+
+    Swift to her aid her mother came,
+    "Ah! say," cried she, "in mercy's name,
+      "What means this frantic grief?"
+    "Mother 'tis past--all hopes are fled,
+    "God hath no mercy, William's dead,
+      "My woe is past relief."
+
+    "Pardon, O pardon, Lord above!
+    "My child, with pray'rs invoke his love,
+      "The Almighty never errs?"
+    "O, mother! mother! idle prate,
+    "Can he be anxious for my fate,
+      "Who never heard my prayers?"
+
+    "Be patient child, in God believe,
+    "The good he can, and will relieve,
+      "To trust his power endeavour."
+    "O, mother! mother! all is vain,
+    "What trust can bring to life again?
+      "The past, is past for ever."
+
+    "Who knows, but that he yet survives;
+    "Perchance, far off from hence he lives,
+      "And thinks no more of you.
+    "Forget, forget, the faithless youth,
+    "Away with grief, your sorrow soothe,
+      "Since William proves untrue."
+
+    "Mother, all hope has fled my mind,
+    "The past, is past, our God's unkind;
+      "Why did he give me breath?
+    "Oh that this hated loathsome light
+    "Would fade for ever from my sight,
+      "Come, death, come, welcome death!"
+
+    "Indulgent Father, spare my child,
+    "Her agony hath made her wild,
+      "She knows not what she does.
+    "Daughter, forget thy earthly love,
+    "Look up to him who reigns above,
+      "Where joys succeed to woes."
+
+    "Mother what now are joys to me?
+    "With William, Hell a Heaven could be,
+      "Without him, Heaven a Hell.
+    "Fade, fade away, thou hated light,
+    "Death bear me hence to endless night,
+      "With love all hope farewell."
+
+    Thus rashly, Leonora strove
+    To doubt the truth of heavenly love.
+      She wept, and beat her breast;
+    She pray'd for death, until the moon
+    With all the stars with silence shone,
+      And sooth'd the world to rest.
+
+    When, hark! without, what sudden sound!
+    She hears a trampling o'er the ground,
+      Some horseman must be near!
+    He stops, he rings, Hark! as the noise
+    Dies soft away, a well-known voice
+      Thus greets her list'ning ear.
+
+    "Wake, Leonora;--dost thou sleep,
+    "Or thoughtless laugh, or constant weep,
+      "Is William welcome home?"
+    "Dear William, you!--return'd, and well!
+    "I've wak'd and wept--but why, ah! tell,
+      "So late--at night you come?"
+
+    "At midnight only dare we roam,
+    "For thee from Prague, though late, I come."
+      "For me!--stay here and rest;
+    "The wild winds whistle o'er the waste,
+    "Ah, dear William! why such haste?
+      "First warm thee in my breast."
+
+    "Let the winds whistle o'er the waste,
+    "My duty bids me be in haste;
+      "Quick, mount upon my steed:
+    "Let the winds whistle far and wide,
+    "Ere morn, two hundred leagues we'll ride,
+      "To reach our marriage bed."
+
+    "What, William! for a bridal room,
+    "Travel to night so far from home?"
+      "Leonora, 'tis decreed.
+    "Look round thee, love, the moon shines clear,
+    "The dead ride swiftly; never fear,
+      "We'll reach our marriage bed."
+
+    "Ah, William! whither would'st thou speed,
+    "What! where! this distant marriage bed?"
+      "Leonora, no delay.
+    "'Tis far from hence; still--cold--and small:
+    "Six planks, no more, compose it all;
+      "Our guests await, away!"
+
+    She lightly on the courser sprung,
+    And her white arms round William flung,
+      Like to a lily wreath.
+    In swiftest gallop off they go,
+    The stones and sparks around them throw,
+      And pant the way for breath.
+
+    The objects fly on every side,
+    The bridges thunder as they ride;
+      "Art thou my love afraid?
+    "Death swiftly rides, the moon shines clear,
+    "The dead doth Leonora fear?"
+      "Ah, no! why name the dead?"
+
+    Hark! as their rapid course they urge,
+    A passing bell, a solemn dirge;
+      Hoarse ravens join the strain.
+    They see a coffin on a bier,
+    A priest and mourners too appear,
+      Slow moving o'er the plain.
+
+    And sad was heard the funeral lay;
+    "What the Lord gives, he takes away;
+      "Life's but a fleeting shade.
+    "A tale that's told,--a flower that falls;
+    "Death, when the least expected, calls,
+      "And bears us to his bed."
+
+    "Forbear;"--imperious William cry'd
+    "I carry home, a beauteous bride,
+      "Come, to our marriage feast;
+    "Mourners, away, we want your song;
+    "And as we swiftly haste along,
+      "Give us your blessing, priest.
+
+    "Sing on, that life is like a shade;
+    "A tale that's told, or flowers which fade:
+      "Such strains will yield delight.
+    "And, when we to our chamber go,
+    "Bury your dead, with wail and woe;
+      "The service suits the night."
+
+    While William speaks, they silent stand,
+    Then run obedient to command,
+      But, on with furious bound,
+    The foaming courser forward flew,
+    Fire and stones his heels pursue,
+      Like whirlwinds dash'd around.
+
+    On right and left, on left and right,
+    Trees, hills, and towns flew past their sight,
+      As on they breathless prest;
+    "With the bright moon, like death we speed,
+    "Doth Leonora fear the dead?"
+      "Ah! leave the dead at rest."
+
+    Behold, where in the moon's pale beam,
+    As wheels and gibbets faintly gleam,
+      Join'd hand in hand, a crowd
+    Of imps and spectres hover nigh,
+    Or round a wasted wretch they fly,
+      When William calls aloud:
+
+    "Hither, ye airy rabble, come,
+    "And follow till I reach my home;
+      "We want a marriage dance."
+    As when the leaves on wither'd trees,
+    Are rustled by an edying breeze,
+      The muttering sprites advance.
+
+    But, soon with hurried steps, the crew
+    Rush'd prattling on, for William flew,
+      Clasp'd by the frighted fair:
+    Swifter than shafts, or than the wind,
+    While struck from earth fire flash'd behind,
+      Like lightnings through the air.
+
+    Not only flew the landscape by,
+    The clouds and stars appear'd to fly.
+      "Thus over hills and heath
+    "We ride like death; say, lovely maid,
+    "By moon-light dost thou fear the dead?"
+      "Ah! speak no more of death."
+
+    "The cock hath crow'd--Away! away!
+    "The sand ebbs out: I scent the day.
+      "On! on! away from here!
+    "Soon must our destin'd course be run,
+    "The dead ride swift,--hurrah! 'tis done,
+      "The marriage bed is near."
+
+    High grated iron doors, in vain
+    Barr'd their way.--With loosened rein
+      Whil'st William urg'd the steed,
+    He struck the bolts;--they open flew,
+    A churchyard drear appear'd in view;
+      Their path was o'er the dead.
+
+    As now, half veil'd by clouds, the moon
+    With feebler ray, o'er objects shone,
+      Where tombstones faint appear,
+    A grave new dug arrests the pair,
+    Cry'd William, and embrac'd the fair,
+      "Our marriage bed is here."
+
+    Scarce had he spoke, when, dire to tell,
+    His flesh like touchwood from him fell,
+      His eyes forsook his head.
+    A skull, and naked bones alone,
+    Supply the place of William gone,
+      'Twas Death that clasp'd the maid.
+
+    Wild, snorting fire, the courser rear'd,
+    As wrapp'd in smoke he disappear'd,
+      Poor Leonora fell;
+    The hideous spectres hover round,
+    Deep groans she hears from under ground,
+      And fiends ascend from hell.
+
+    They dance, and say, in dreadful howl,
+    "She asks no mercy for her soul;
+      "Her earthly course is done.
+    "When mortals, rash and impious! dare
+    "Contend with God, and court despair,
+      "We claim them as our own."
+
+    "Yet," thus was heard, in milder strains,
+    "Call on the Lord, while life remains,
+      "Unite your heart to his;
+    "When man repents and is resign'd,
+    "God loves to soothe his suff'ring mind,
+      "And grant him future bliss."
+
+    "We claim as ours, who impious dare
+    "Contend with God, and court despair;"
+      Again the spectres cry'd.
+    "Fate threats in vain, when man's resign'd,
+    "God loves to soothe the suff'ring mind,"
+      The gentler voice reply'd.
+
+    Leonora, e'er her sense was gone,
+    Thus faint exclaim'd,--"thy Will be done,
+      "Lord, let thy anger cease."
+    Soft on the wind was borne the pray'r;
+    The spectres vanish'd into air,
+      And all was hush'd in peace.
+
+    Now redd'ning tints the skies adorn,
+    And streaks of gold, proclaim the morn;
+      The night is chas'd away.
+    The sun ascends, new warmth he gives,
+    New hope, new joy; all nature lives,
+      And hails the glorious day.
+
+    No more are dreadful fantoms near;
+    Love and his smiling train, appear;
+      They cull each sweetest flow'r,
+    To scatter o'er the path of youth,
+    To deck the bridal bed, when Truth
+      And Beauty own their pow'r.
+
+    Ah,--could your pow'r avert the blast
+    Which threatens Bliss!--could passion last!
+      Ye dear enchanters tell;
+    What purer joy could Heaven bestow,
+    Than when with shar'd affection's glow
+      Our panting bosoms swell?
+
+    Sweet spirits wave the airy wand,
+    Two faithful hearts your care demand;
+      Lo! bounding o'er the plain,
+    Led by your charm, a youth returns;
+    With hope, his breast impatient burns;
+      Hope is not always vain.
+
+    "Wake, Leonora!--wake to Love!
+    For thee, his choicest wreath he wove;"
+      Death vainly aim'd his Dart.
+    The Past was all a dream; she woke--
+    He lives;--'twas William's self who spoke,
+      And clasp'd her to his Heart.

+                            (Matrimonial,)
+                        Attempted from Gessner.
+
+                    DAMON.
+
+      The gloomy tempest, Daphne, has blown o'er,
+    The thunder's awful voice is heard no more;
+    Tremble not then, my girl, the lightning's blaze
+    Through the dark cloud, no longer darts its rays.
+    Let us this arbour leave, the blue sky greet,
+    For, see, the sheep that sought this safe retreat,
+    Now from their fleeces shake the drops of rain,
+    And spread them o'er the bright'ning mead again,
+    Let us then leave this fav'rite shelt'ring bower,
+    To taste the beauties of this balmy hour;
+    To view the sunbeams gild the moisten'd ground,
+    And throw their rich and radiant glory round.
+      As from the grotto, hand in hand they past,
+    The gentle Daphne on her partner cast
+    Her swimming eyes, pressing his honest hand.
+
+                    DAPHNE.
+
+      How lovely looks the gay, the smiling land,
+    She said; while through the scattering cloud appears
+    The blue sky, dissipating all our fears.
+    The clouds, as through the air they quickly pass,
+    Hurry their shadows o'er the glist'ning grass.
+    See, Damon, now, o'er yonder hill they throw
+    Their shade o'er herds and cottages, and lo!
+    They're flown, and while o'er flowery meads they run,
+    The hill's again illumin'd by the sun.
+
+                    DAMON.
+
+      The rainbow view, from hill to hill expand,
+    Its radiant arches o'er the laughing land;
+    'Midst the grey cloud, a happy omen shows;
+    With peace and safety every colour glows:
+    The quiet valley smiles beneath its beams,
+    And owns its beauties in her gliding streams.
+    Daphne with gentle arm embrac'd her swain;
+    And cried;
+
+                    DAPHNE.
+
+      See balmy zephyrs breathe again;
+    More cheerful with the flowers they sport and play,
+    Dress'd by the drops of rain and light of day.
+    The butterflies, in richest coats array'd,
+    And fluttering insects joy to leave the shade,
+    Their velvet wings in quick vibrations shake,
+    While on the surface of the neighbouring lake,
+    Of shrubs and willows, wash'd from every stain,
+    The trembling branches glitter once again;
+    Again the peasant in its bosom sees
+    The heaven's blue concave and the spreading trees.
+
+                    DAMON.
+
+      Daphne, embrace me with thy circling arms,
+    What sacred joy my swelling bosom warms,
+    Where'er we turn what glories meet our eyes,
+    What unexhausted springs of rapture rise.
+    From the least plant to the bright star of day,
+    That kindles nature with its quickening ray,
+    All, all, our admiration ought to raise,
+    And tune our voices to the notes of praise!
+    How my heart swells, when from yon mountain's brow,
+    I view the spreading country stretch'd below.
+    Or, when amid the grass, in rural ease,
+    Laying my limbs beneath the branching trees,
+    I contemplate the various flowers and plants,
+    And their minutely fine inhabitants.
+    Or when amid the solemn hours of night,
+    I view the stars adorn the heavens with light;
+    The grateful changes of the seasons trace,
+    The progress of the vegetable race.
+    When all these wonders thro' my senses roll,
+    They fill with purest awe my swelling soul;
+    Thoughts urge on thoughts in quick successive birth,
+    Weeping, I kneel to him who made the earth;
+    To him, my admiration I confess,
+    Father of light, of life, of every bliss:
+    Nought then my soul with equal joy can move,
+    Save the delight to know my Daphne's love.
+
+                    DAPHNE.
+
+      Damon, around me also wonders rise,
+    And fill my bosom with a sweet surprize.
+    Oh let us then, lock'd in a soft embrace,
+    When Morn approaching lifts her ruddy face,
+    When gentle Eve her milder beauties shows,
+    Or moonlight through the air its radiance throws,
+    Thus let our thoughts upon such objects rest,
+    Whilst to each others beating bosoms prest,
+    In broken accents we our wonder own,
+    And turn our minds tow'rds heaven's eternal throne.
+    How inexpressible is the delight,
+    When transports such as these, with tend'rest love unite.

+                           THE FLY, A FABLE.
+                      From the German of Gellert.
+
+    That insects think, as well as speak,
+    Needs, at this day, small eloquence to show;
+    Esop, whom even children prize in Greek,
+    Affirm'd as much, some thousand years ago.
+    Fontaine, in French, asserted just the same;
+    Who then shall dare deny the reptile claim
+    To faculties, the world esteems so low,
+    As scarce to notice, if you think or no?
+
+      Within a temple, where the builder's art,
+    Grandeur and elegance at once had join'd;
+    While due proportion, reign'd in every part,
+    And simple grace, with solid strength combin'd.
+    In such a temple's wall, sat perch'd on high,
+    A solemn, thoughtful, philosophic fly.
+    For flies, an air so grave, of wisdom take,
+    And on one leg, the head will often hold,
+    And into wrinkles, oft the forehead fold,
+    Only because they deep reflection's make;
+    And to the bottom dive to know,
+    The source of all things here below.
+
+    Thus then, involv'd in contemplation deep,
+    With half a dozen wrinkles on his brow,
+    This fly began, around himself to peep,
+    And question whence the building rose, and how?
+    No _maker_ of this work can I perceive,
+    Quoth he--and that there is one, scarce believe;
+    For who should such a maker be?
+      "Art," said a spider sage. "Art built the work you see,
+    For, wheresoever turns your eye,
+    Fix'd laws, and order you descry;
+    And hence, a fair conclusion grows,
+    That from the hand of Art, the building rose."
+      At this the fly, in his conceptions proud,
+    Laugh'd out aloud,
+    And with a sneer of scorn, replied--
+      "Most learned sir, I oft have tried,
+    At this same Art to get a sight,
+    But never on him yet could light;
+    And now, the more I think, the more I find,
+    Your Art is but a fiction of the mind.
+      Now learn from me how this same temple grew:
+    Once on a time, it so by chance befel
+    That pebbles numberless together flew,
+    And settling, form'd this hollow shell,
+    Where you, and I, friend spider, dwell;
+    Say, what can be more evidently true?"
+      A fly, for such a system, we forgive;
+    But if great geniuses should live,
+    Who deem this world's well-order'd frame,
+    Sprung from blind accident alone,
+    And chance, as author of their lives proclaim,
+    Rather than bow to God's eternal throne,
+    The sole excuse a creed, like this admits,
+    Is, that its votaries have lost their wits.

+                      From the German of Gellert.
+
+    Oh, youth, from what I now relate,
+      While gentle tears bedew your eyes,
+    Lament the lover's hapless fate,
+      And learn, what woes from love arise.
+
+    A youth of exemplary worth,
+      The comfort of his aged sire,
+    Whose virtues, early bursting forth,
+      The fairest hopes might well inspire.
+
+    By beauty's potent charms subdued,
+      For Chloe felt a tender pain;
+    Her equal love with ardour sued,
+      But found his fond entreaties vain.
+
+    While at her feet he pleads his flame,
+      The cruel Chloe bids him fly;
+    Yes! cried he, yes! insulting dame,
+      You never more shall hear me sigh.
+
+    Then, on his sword, his hand he lays,
+      While wild despair his gestures breathe;
+    Draws it--the deadly point surveys,
+      And thrusts it--_back into its sheath_.

+                           THE DANCING BEAR
+                               A Fable.
+
+    A bear, who long had danced for bread,
+    One morning from his keeper fled;
+    Back to his native woods retreated,
+    And, by his brother brutes, was kindly greeted:
+    Their joy to see him made the forest roar,
+    They lick'd his chaps, they stroak'd him with the paw;
+    And when each bear his neighbour saw,
+    Their news was, So!--Our Bruin's here once more.
+      Straightway the travell'd youth went on
+    All his adventures to relate,
+    And whatsoever he had seen, or done,
+    Or heard, in foreign parts to state.
+    And when it came the turn to tell
+    His dancing deeds, to capering he fell,
+    As though his former master's chain
+    Were fasten'd round his neck again.
+
+      Bears of the woods are seldom trained to dance;
+    Yet, seeing Bruin throw his limbs about,
+    The fancy seiz'd them all, themselves to prance,
+    And strive, with clumsy aim, his motions to make out.
+
+      Scarce one of all the brood but quickly trip'd,
+    And stumbling, staggering, fell his whole length down;
+    The more they fail'd, the brisker Bruin skip'd,
+    To show their skill at fault and prove his own.
+    But now, their fury kindles at his play;
+    Away! Begone, you tumbling fool! they bawl;
+    Must you, forsooth, be wiser than us all?
+    And straight, with one accord, they hooted him away.
+
+    Your neighbour's hatred would you shun?
+    His talents to surpass beware!
+    And still the higher your attainments run,
+    Conceal them still with greater care.
+    For though, at first, the voice of fame
+    Shall sound your praises to the sky:
+    Anon shall Envy blast your name,
+    And turn your fairest arts to crimes of deepest dye.

+                           From the German.
+
+    Say, who could mope in joyless plight,

+    And scorn the profer'd gay delight,
+      With thankless heart and frowning mien?

+      While roses strew the devious way;
+    The feast of life she bids us share,
+      Where'er our pilgrim footsteps stray.
+
+    And still the grove is cool and green,
+      And clear the bubbling fountain flows,
+    Still shines the night's resplendent queen,
+      As erst in Paradise she rose:
+    The grapes their purple nectar pour,
+      To 'suage the heart that griefs oppress;
+    And still the lonely ev'ning bow'r
+      Invites and screens the stolen kiss.
+
+    Still Philomela's melting strain,
+      Responsive to the dying gale,
+    Beguiles the bosom's throbbing pain,
+      And sweetly charms the list'ning vale;
+    Creation's scene expanded lies:--
+      Blest scene! how wond'rous bright and fair!
+    Till Death's cold hand shall close my eyes,
+      Let me the lavish'd bounties share!

+
+Sir,
+
+As I perceive your plan, like that of Coleman and Thornton, in the
+"Connoisseur," and like that of your relation, _Solomon_ Saunter, in
+"Literary Leisure," admits Poetry as well as Prose, which one may feed
+upon alternately, as we eat bread and cheese, I send you a
+translation, from the German of Lessing, and some fugitive originals.

+                                              HARLEY.
+
+      I ask'd my fair, one happy day,
+      What should I call her in my lay,
+    By what sweet name, from Rome or Greece,
+      Iphigenia, Clelia, Chloris,
+      Laura, Lesbia, Delia, Doris,
+    Dorimene or Lucrece?
+
+      Ah, replied my gentle fair,
+      Beloved, what are names but air?
+    Take thou whatever suits the line,
+      Clelia, Iphigenia, Chloris,
+      Laura, Lesbia, Delia, Doris--
+    But don't forget to call me--_thine_.

+                            THE NAVIGATION
+                Translated from the French of Gessner.
+
+      It flies! the vessel flies, that bears away
+    To distant shores my Daphne, fair as May.
+    Guard her, ye loves! be lull'd each ruder gale;
+    Let Zephyrs only fill the swelling sail;
+    Ye waves flow gently by the vessel's side,
+    While pensive she surveys you idly glide;
+    Ah! softly glide, prolong her reverie,
+    For then, ye Gods! 'tis then she thinks of me.
+    When near the nodding groves that shade the shore,
+    To her, ye birds, your sweetest warbling pour;
+    No sounds be heard, but such as gently sooth,
+    And be, O sea, thy azure surface smooth.
+    Ne'er since thy daughters sought their liquid caves,
+    A lovelier charge, was trusted to thy waves.
+    Her clear, her bright unsullied beauty shews
+    The lilly's white, and freshness of the rose.
+    Not Venus had more charms, more beauteous bloom,
+    When, rising from the sea's resplendent foam,
+    She smiling mounted first her silver car,
+    And shone effulgent as the morning star.
+    The enchanted Tritons left their noisy sport,
+    And nymphs cerulian in their crystal court;
+    Regardless of their frowns, or jealous smiles,
+    While beauty's queen each eager eye beguiles.
+    They gaze, and held in most delightful trance,
+    Pursue her moving o'er the smooth expanse.

+                  "Lobt den Herrn! Die morgensonne."
+
+    O praise the Lord! the morning sun,
+      From sleep awakes the cheerful swain;
+      And all creation's joys again,
+    To us, in streams renewed, run.
+
+    O praise the Lord! ye sweetest flow'rs,

+      Praise him in meadow and in field.
+
+    O praise the Lord!--Ev'n from his den

+                    "Freude wirbelt in den Lueften."
+
+    Joy comes laughing with the breeze;
+      Gladness spreads itself around;
+    Songsters warble in the trees;
+      Nature gaily decks the ground.
+
+    Heav'n unfolds its richest vesture,
+      Sparkling stars--etherial blue;
+    Fairies dance with antic gesture;
+      Or sip, delighted, morning dew.
+
+    Gentle, smiling, Zephyrs, wander,
+      Thro' the groves of verdant green;
+    Toying with the lilac yonder--
+      Here, with the rose of blooming mien.
+
+    Humming bees, on wafer pinions,
+      Careful, thro' the blossoms roam:
+    Searching all their flow'r dominions,
+      The nectar tribute gather home.
+
+    In th'embroider'd violet vale,
+      Love, attended by the Graces,
+    Tells his soft bewitching tale,
+      While blushing fair ones hide their faces.
+
+    How beautiful is the creation,
+      In this time of mirth and joy?
+    All is life--all animation:
+      Nought our pleasures to annoy.

+
+                   PASSAGE FROM KLOPSTOCK'S MESSIAH.
+
+    So at the midnight hour draws nigh to the slumbering city
+    Pestilence. Couch'd on his broad spread wings lurks under the rampart
+    Death, bale-breathing. As yet unalarmed are the peaceable dwellers;
+    Close to his nightly-lamp the sage yet watches; and high friends
+    Over wine not unhallow'd, in shelter of odorous bowers,
+    Talk of the soul and of friendship, and weigh their immortal duration.
+    But too soon shall frightful Death, in a day of affliction
+    Pouncing over them, over them spread; in a day of moaning and
+         anguish....
+    When with wringing of hands the bride for the bridegroom loud wails;
+    When, now of all her children bereft, the desperate mother
+    Furious curses the day on which she bore, and was born ... when
+    Weary with hollower eye, amid the carcases totter
+    Even the buriers ... till the sent Death-angel, descending,
+    Thoughtful on thunder-clouds, beholds all lonesome and silent,
+    Gazes the wide desolation, and long broods over the graves, fixt.
+
+"Perhaps some other writer will throw this fine picture into blank
+verse so well, as to convince the public, that the beauties of
+Klopstock can be naturalized without strangeness, and his
+peculiarities retained without affectation; that quaintness, the
+unavoidable companion of neologism, is as needless to genius, as
+hostile to grace; the hexameter, until it is familiar, must repel,
+and, when it is familiar, may annoy; that it wants a musical
+orderliness of sound; and that its cantering capricious movement
+opposes the grave march of solemn majesty, and better suits the
+ordinary scenery of Theocritus than the empyreal visions of
+Klopstock."

+                         THE GUARDIAN SPIRIT.
+                     From the German of Matthison.
+
+    Whene'er day-light's parting gleam
+      A smiling form salutes my love,
+    And loiters near the murm'ring stream,
+      And glides beneath the conscious grove:
+    Ah! then my Henry's spirit see:
+    Soft joy and peace it brings to thee.
+
+    And when at moon-light's sober ray
+      Thou dream'st perchance of love and me,
+    As thro' the pines the breezes play,
+      And whisper dying melody--
+    When tender bodings prompt the sigh--
+    Thy Henry's spirit hovers nigh.
+
+    When o'er the mind soft musings steal,
+      As thou the pleasing past hast scann'd;
+    Should'st thou a gentle pressure feel,
+      Like zephyr's kiss o'er lip and hand;--
+    And should the glimmering taper fade--
+    Then near thee 'bides thy lover's shade.
+
+    And when at midnights' solemn tide,
+      As soft the rolling planets shine--
+    Like Aeol's harp, thy couch beside,
+      Thou hear'st the words--'forever thine!'
+    Then slumber sweet, my spirit's there,
+    And peace and joy it brings my fair.

+        Swains the vernal scene is o'er,

+    Garland meet for beauty's brows,
+      Hill and dale adorning?
+        Gentle maid the summer's fled
+        And the hopeless Rose is dead!
+
+    Bear me then to yonder rill,
+      Late so freely flowing;
+    Wat'ring many a daffodil,
+      On its margin glowing--
+        Sun and wind exhaust its store:
+        Yonder riv'let glides no more!
+
+    Lead me to the bow'ry shade,
+      Late with roses flaunting;

+        Hail and storm with fury show'rs,
+        Leafless mourn with rifled bow'rs!
+
+    Say where hides the village maid,
+      Late yon cot adorning;
+    Oft I've met her in the glade,
+      Fair and fresh as morning?
+        Swain how short is beauty's bloom,
+        Seek her in the grassy tomb!
+
+    Whither roves the tuneful swain
+      Who of rural pleasures,
+    Rose and vi'let, rill and plain,
+      Sung in deftest measures?
+        Maiden, swift life's vision flies,

+It is but seldom that the Muses of the North sing more sweetly than in

+
+                        SONG--FROM THE GERMAN.
+
+    Scarce sixteen summers had I seen,
+      And rov'd my native bow'rs;
+    Nor stray'd my thoughts beyond the green,
+      Bedew'd with shrubs and flow'rs.
+
+    When late a stranger youth appear'd;
+      I neither wish'd nor sought him;
+    He came, but whence I never heard,
+      And spake what love had taught him.
+
+    His hair in graceful ringlets play'd,
+      All eyes are charm'd that view them,
+    And o'er his comely shoulders stray'd,
+      Where wanton zephyrs blew them.
+
+    His speaking eye of azure hue
+      Seem'd ever softly suing,
+    And such an eye, so clear and blue,
+      Ne'er shone for maid's undoing.
+
+    His face was fair, his cheek was red,
+      With blushes ever burning;
+    And all he spoke was deftly said,
+      Though far beyond my learning.
+
+    Where'er I stray'd, the youth was nigh,
+      His look soft sorrows speaking;
+    Sweet maid! he'd say, then gaze and sigh,
+      As if his heart were breaking.
+
+    And once, as low his head he hung,
+      I fain would ask the meaning;
+    When round my neck his arms he flung,
+      Soft tears his grief explaining.
+
+    Such freedom ne'er was ta'en till now,
+      And now 'twas unoffending;
+    Shame spread my cheek with ruddy glow,
+      My eyes kept downward bending.
+
+    Nor aught I spoke, my looks he read,
+      As if with anger burning;
+    No--not one word--away he sped,
+      Ah! would he were returning.

+    Ah! who like me can spread the net?
+    Or tune the merry flageolet?
+
+    Then why--O why should I repine,
+    Since all the roving birds are mine?
+      The thrush and linnet in the vale,
+    The sweet sequester'd nightingale,
+    The bulfinch, wren, and wood-lark, all
+    Obey my summons when I call:
+    O! could I form some cunning snare
+    To catch the coy, coquetting fair,
+    In _Cupid's_ filmy web so fine,
+    The pretty girls should all be mine!
+
+      When all were mine--among the rest,
+    I'd choose the Lass I lik'd the best;
+    And should my charming mate be kind;
+    And smile, and kiss me to my mind,
+    With her I'd tie the nuptial knot,
+    Make _Hymen's_ cage of my poor cot,
+    And love away this fleeting life,
+    Like Robin Redbreast and his wife!

+
+In the third number[33] of the Port Folio we inserted a very humorous

+criticks in the German Language that the original is eminently
+beautiful. Its merit was once so highly appreciated in England that a
+host of translators started at once in the race for public favor. The
+ensuing version which is, we believe, by Sir Walter Scott, Esqr., well
+deserves a place in this journal.

+                        The following charming
+                                 SONG
+             is translated from the German by Mr. Herbert.
+
+     "Hail, orient sun, auspicious light!
+      Hail, new-born orb of day!
+    Lo, from behind the wood-crown'd height,
+      Breaks forth thy glittering ray.
+    Behold it sparkle in the stream,
+      And on the dew drop shine!
+    O, may sweet joy's enlivening beam
+      Mix his pure rays with thine!
+    The Zephyrs now, with frolic wing,
+      Their rosy beds forsake;
+    And, shedding round the sweets of spring,
+      Their drowsy comrades wake.
+    Soft sleep and all his airy forms
+      Fly from the dawning day:
+    Like little loves O may their swarms
+      On Chloe's bosom play!
+    Ye Zephyrs haste; from every flower
+      The sweetest perfumes take;
+    And bear them hence to Chloe's bower;
+      For soon the maid must wake!
+    And, hovering round her fragrant bed,
+      In breezes call my fair;
+    Go, frolic round her graceful head,
+      And scent her golden hair!
+    Then gently whisper in her ear,
+      That ere the sun gan rise,
+    By the soft murmuring fountain here
+      I breath'd her name in sighs."

+                     THE POEM OF HALLER VERSIFIED.
+                    By HENRY JAMES PYE, Esq., P.L.
+
+    Ah! woods forever dear! whose branches spread
+    Their verdant arch o'er Hasel's breezy head,
+    When shall I once again, supinely laid,
+    Hear Philomela charm your list'ning shade?
+    When shall I stretch my careless limbs again,
+    Where, gently rising from the velvet plain,
+    O'er the green hills, in easy curve that bend,
+    The mossy carpet Nature's hands extend?
+    Where all is silent! save the gales that move
+    The leafy umbrage of the whisp'ring grove;
+    Or the soft murmurs of the rivulet's wave,
+    Whose chearing streams the lonely meadows lave.
+
+      O Heav'n! when shall once more these eyes be cast
+    On scenes where all my spring of life was pass'd;
+    Where, oft responsive to the falling rill,
+    Sylvia and love my artless lays would fill?
+    While Zephyr's fragrant breeze, soft breathing, stole
+    A pleasing sadness o'er my pensive soul:
+    Care, and her ghastly train, were far away;     }
+    While calm, beneath the sheltering woods I lay  }
+    Mid shades, impervious to the beams of day.     }
+
+    Here--sad reverse!--from scenes of pleasure far,
+    I wage with sorrow unremitting war:
+    Oppress'd with grief, my ling'ring moments flow,
+    Nor aught of joy, or aught of quiet, know.
+    Far from the scenes that gave my being birth,
+    From parents far, an outcast of the earth!
+    In youth's warm hours, from each restriction free,
+    Left to myself in dangerous liberty.
+
+      Ah! scenes of earthly joy! ah, much-lov'd shades!
+    Soon may my footsteps tread your vernal glades.
+    Ah! should kind Heav'n permit me to explore
+    Your seats of still tranquillity once more!
+    E'en now to Fancy's visionary eye,
+    Hope shews the flattering hour of transport nigh,
+    Blue shines the aether, when the storm is past;
+    And calm repose succeeds to sorrow's blast.
+    Flourished, ye scenes of every new delight!
+    Wave wide your branches to my raptur'd sight!
+    While, ne'er to roam again, my wearied feet
+    Seek the kind refuge of your calm retreat.
+
+      Now pale disease shoots thro' my languid frame,
+    And checks the zeal for wisdom and for fame.
+    Now droops fond hope, by Disappointment cross'd;
+    Chill'd by neglect, each sanguine wish is lost.
+    O'er the weak mound stern Ocean's billows ride,
+    And waft destruction in with every tide;
+    While Mars, descending from his crimson car,
+    Fans with fierce hands the kindling flames of war.
+
+      Her gentle aid let Consolation lend;
+    All human evils hasten to their end.
+    The storm abates at every gust it blows;
+    Past ills enhance the comforts of repose.
+    He who ne'er felt the pressure of distress,
+    Ne'er felt returning pleasure's keen excess.
+    Time who Affliction bore on rapid wing,
+    My panting heart to happiness may bring;
+    I, on my native hills, may yet inhale
+    The purer influence of the ambient gale.

+    O'er the wood-top'd mountain borne,

+    Now o'er babbling brooks it beams;
+      Sips from each flower its _dew_;

+      Wakes the world anew.
+    Zephyrs first, o'er flowers that slumber'd,
+      Quit their couch, and play;
+    Breathe o'er flowers in sighs unnumber'd,
+      Breathe the scent of day.
+    Fancy now her reign gives o'er,
+      Every vision flies;
+    Chloe's cheek is wan no more,
+      Cupids round it rise.
+    Hasten, Zephyr, waft from roses
+      All their loveliest bloom!
+    Haste where Chloe now reposes,
+      Wake her from her tomb!
+    To the fairest's couch repair,
+      Wanton round her pillow;
+    O'er her lip and bosom fair
+      Bathe thy blandest billow!
+    She wakes the whispers to the gale,
+      Wakes from her morning dream;
+    Whilst so the stream, and thro' the vale,
+      I er'st have breathed her name.

+                     TRANSLATION FROM THE GERMAN.
+
+Whoever has perused the prophetick metrical compositions of Van Vander
+Horderclogeth must surely remember the poem on the 3697 fol. of which
+the following is a translation; it commences thus--
+
+         Vrom Grouter gruder grout gropstock, Zordur zoop, &c.
+
+    All gloomy and sorrowful Beelzebub sat,
+      With his imps and his devils around,
+    When the thundering knocker of Hell's outer grate
+    Rang a peal so terrifick and loud on the gate,
+      That all Erebus echoed the sound.
+
+    Full swift to the portal the young devils flew,
+      And the long gloomy passage unbarr'd;
+    When a lanthorn-jaw'd monster stood forth to their view,
+    So meagre his figure, so pale was his hue,
+      That the devils all trembled and star'd.
+
+    All green were his eyes in their sockets decay'd,
+      His nose was projecting and wide,
+    In a dusty frock-coat was his carcase array'd,
+    On his scull he a three-corner'd scraper display'd,
+      And two volumes[34] he bore at his side.
+
+    So foul were his breath and the words that he said,
+      That his teeth had long rotted away--
+    And now to the devils a signal he made,
+    To show him their master, the devils obey'd,
+      And brought him where Beelzebub lay.
+
+    Old Beelzebub rose, as the monster came in,
+      And stood for a moment in dread,
+    For they look'd like each other enough to be kin,
+    Save that one had whole feet and a light-colour'd skin,
+      And the other had horns on his head.
+
+    'Whence art thou?' said Beelzebub; 'stranger, proclaim,
+      For if Satan can rightly divine,
+    Thou art surely some hero of throat-cutting fame,
+    For ne'er to these regions a spirit there came,
+      With figure so hellish as thine.'
+
+    'No throats have I cut,' the lank goblin replied,
+      With voice that was hollow and shrill;
+    'I have cheated, and bullied, and swindled, and lied,
+    Sedition and falsehood I've spread far and wide,
+      And in mischief I never was still.
+
+    'My name is ---- ----;' no sooner said he,
+      Than Beelzebub rose with a grin;
+    He embrac'd the foul monster, who also display'd
+    His joy at the meeting; and both of them made
+      All Hell echo round with their din.

+I publish the following new translation of "The Wild Hunter," first on
+account of its superiority over every other, and secondly because it
+is my intention in a future number to notice particularly this _chef
+d'oeuvre_ of the German poet.
+
+                           THE WILD HUNTER.
+
+    Loud, loud the baron winds his horn;
+      And, see, a lordly train
+    On horse, on foot, with deafening din,
+      Comes scouring o'er the plain.
+
+    O'er heath, o'er field, the yelping pack
+      Dash swift, from couples freed;
+    O'er heath, o'er field, close on their track,
+      Loud neighs the fiery steed.
+
+    And now the Sabbath's holy dawn
+      Beam'd high with purple ray,
+    And bright each hallowed temple's dome
+      Reflected back the day.
+
+    Now deep and clear the pealing bells
+      Struck on the list'ning ear,
+    And heaven-ward rose from many a voice
+      The hymn of praise and prayer.
+
+    Swift, swift along the crossway, still
+      They speed with eager cry:
+    See! right and left, two horsemen strange
+      Their rapid coursers ply.
+
+    Who were the horsemen right and left?
+      That may I guess full well:
+    Who were the horsemen right and left?
+      That may I never tell.
+
+    The right, of fair and beauteous mien,
+      A milk-white steed bestrode;
+    Mild as the vernal skies, his face
+      With heavenly radiance glow'd.
+
+    The left spurr'd fast his fiery barb,
+      Red as the furnace flame;
+    Sullen he loured, and from his eyes
+      The death-like lightning came.
+
+    'Right welcome to our noble sport;'
+      The baron greets them fair;
+    'For well I wot ye hold it good
+      To banish moping care.
+
+    'No pleasure equal to the chase,
+      Or earth, or heaven can yield;'
+    He spoke,--he waved his cap in air,
+      And foremost rushed afield.
+
+    'Turn thee!' the milder horseman cries;
+      'Turn thee from horns and hounds!
+    Hear'st not the bells, hear'st not the quire,
+      Mingle their sacred sounds?
+
+    'They drown the clamor of the chase;
+      Oh! hunt not then to-day,
+    Nor let a fiend's advice destroy
+      Thy better angel's sway.'
+
+    'Hunt on, hunt on,' his comrade cries,
+      'Nor heed yon dotard's spell;
+    What is the bawling quire to us?
+      Or what the jangling bell?
+
+    'Well may the chase delight thee more;
+      And well may'st learn from me,
+    How brave, how princely is our sport,
+      From bigot terrors free.'
+
+    'Well said! well said! in thee I own
+      A hero's kindled fire;
+    These pious fool'ries move not us,
+      We reck nor priest, nor quire.
+
+    'And thou, believe me, saintlike dolt,
+      Thy bigot rage is vain;
+    From prayers and beadrolls, what delight
+      Can sportsmen hope to gain?'
+
+    Still hurry, hurry, on they speed
+      O'er valley, hill and plain;
+    And ever at the baron's side
+      Attend the horsemen twain.
+
+    See, panting, see, a milk-white hart
+      Up-springs from yonder thorn:
+    'Now swiftly ply both horse and foot;
+      Now louder wind the horn!'
+
+    See, falls a huntsman! see, his limbs
+      The pangs of death distort!
+    'Lay there and rot: no caitiff's death
+      Shall mar our princely sport.'
+
+    Light bounds with deftest speed the hart,
+      Wide o'er the country borne;
+    Now closer prest a refuge seeks
+      Where waves the ripening corn.
+
+    See, the poor owner of the field
+      Approach with tearful eyes;
+    'O pity, pity, good my lords!'
+      Alas! in vain he cries.
+
+    'O spare what little store the poor
+      By bitter sweat can earn!'
+    Now soft the milder horseman warns
+      The baron to return.
+
+    Not so persuades his stern compeer,
+      Best pleas'd with darkest deeds;
+    Tis his to sway the baron's heart,
+      Reckless what mercy pleads.
+
+    'Away!' the imperious noble cries;
+      'Away, and leave us free!
+    Off! or by all the powers of hell,
+      Thou too shalt hunted be!
+
+    'Here, fellows! let this villain prove
+      My threats were not in vain:
+    Loud lash around his piteous face
+      The whips of all my train.'
+
+    Tis said, tis done: swift o'er the fence
+      The baron foremost springs;
+    Swift follow hound, and horse, and man,
+      And loud the welkin rings.
+
+    Loud rings the welkin with their shouts,
+      While man, and horse, and hound,
+    Ruthless tread down each ripening ear,
+      Wide o'er the smoking ground.
+
+    O'er heath and field, o'er hill and dale,
+      Scared by the approaching cries,
+    Still close pursued, yet still unreach'd,
+      Their destin'd victim flies.
+
+    Now mid the lowing herds that graze
+      Along yon verdant plain,
+    He hopes, concealed from every eye,
+      A safe retreat to gain.
+
+    In vain, for now the savage train
+      Press ravening on his heels:
+    See, prostrate at the baron's feet
+      The affrighted herdsman kneels.
+
+    Fear for the safety of his charge
+      Inspires his faltering tongue;
+    'O spare,' he cries, 'these harmless beasts,
+      Nor work an orphan's wrong.
+
+    'Think, here thy fury would destroy
+      A friendless widow's all!'
+    He spoke:--the gentle stranger strove
+      To enforce soft pity's call.
+
+    Not so persuades his sullen frere,
+      But pleas'd with darkest deeds;
+    Tis his to sway the baron's heart,
+      Reckless what mercy pleads.
+
+    'Away, audacious hound!' he cries;
+      'Twould do my heart's-blood good,
+    Might I but see thee transform'd to beasts
+      Thee and thy beggar brood.
+
+    'Then, to the very gates of heaven,
+      Who dare to say me nay!
+    With joy I'd hunt the losel fry;
+      Come fellows, no delay!'
+
+    See, far and wide the murderous throng
+      Deal many a deadly wound;
+    Mid slaughter'd numbers, see, the hart
+      Sinks bleeding on the ground.
+
+    Yet still he summons all his strength
+      For one poor effort more,
+    Staggering he flies; his silver sides
+      Drop mingled sweat and gore.
+
+    And now he seeks a last retreat
+      Deep in the darkling dell,
+    Where stands, amidst embowering oaks,
+      A hermit's holy cell.
+
+    E'en here the madly eager train
+      Rush swift with impious rage,
+    When, lo! persuasion on his tongue,
+      Steps forth the reverend sage.
+
+    'O cease thy chase! nor thus invade
+      Religion's free abode;
+    For know, the tortur'd creature's groans
+      E'en now have reach'd his god.
+
+    'They cry at heaven's high mercy seat,
+      For vengeance on thy head;
+    O turn, repentant turn, ere yet
+      The avenging bolt is sped.'
+
+    Once more religion's cause in vain
+      The gentle stranger pleads;
+    Once more, alas! his sullen frere
+      A willing victim leads.
+
+    'Dash on!' the harden'd sinner cries;
+      'Shalt thou disturb our sport?
+    No! boldly would I urge the chase
+      In heaven's own inmost court.
+
+    'What reck I then thy pious rage?
+      No mortal man I fear:
+    Not god in all his terrors arm'd
+      Should stay my fix'd career.'
+
+    He cracks his whip, he winds his horn,
+      He calls his vassal-crew;
+    Lo! horse and hound, and sage and cell,
+      All vanish from his view.
+
+    All, all, are gone!--no single rack
+      His eager eye can trace;
+    And silence, still as death, has hush'd
+      The clamors of the chase.
+
+    In vain he spurs his courser's sides,
+      Nor back nor forward borne;
+    He winds his horn, he calls aloud,
+      But hears no sound return.
+
+    And now inclos'd in deepest night,
+      Dark as the silent grave,
+    He hears the sullen tempest roar,
+      As roars the distant wave.
+
+    Loud and louder still the storm
+      Howls through the troubled air;
+    Ten thousand thunders from on high
+      The voice of judgment bear.
+
+    Accursed before god and man,
+      Unmoved by threat or prayer;
+    Creator, nor created, aught
+      Thy frantic rage would spare.
+
+    'Think not in vain creation's lord
+      Has heard his creature's groan;
+    E'en now the torch of vengeance flames
+      High by his awful throne.
+
+    'Now, hear thy doom! to aftertimes
+      A dread example given,
+    For ever urge thy wild career,
+      By fiendish hell-hounds driven.'
+
+    The voice had ceased; the sulphurous flash
+      Shot swift from either pole;
+    Sore shook the grove; cold horror seized
+      The trembling miscreant's soul.
+
+    Again the rising tempest roars,
+      Again the lightnings play;
+    And every limb, and every nerve
+      Is frozen with dismay.
+
+    He sees a giant's swarthy arm
+      Start from the yawning ground;
+    He feels a demon grasp his head,
+      And rudely wrench it round.
+
+    In torrents now from every side,
+      Pours fast a fiery flood;
+    On each o'erwhelming wave upborne,
+      Loud howls the hellish brood.
+
+    Sullen and grisly gleams the light,
+      Now red, now green, now blue;
+    Whilst o'er the gulf the fiendish train
+      Their destined prey pursue.
+
+    In vain he shrieks with wild despair,
+      In vain he strives to fly;
+    Still at his back the hell-born crew
+      Their cursed business ply.
+
+    By day, full many a fathom deep
+      Below earth's smiling face;
+    By night, high through the troubled air,
+      They speed their endless chase.
+
+    In vain to turn his eyes aside
+      He strives with wild affright;
+    So never may those maddening scenes
+      Escape his tortured sight.
+
+    Still must he see those dogs of hell
+      Close hovering on his track;
+    Still must he see the avenging scourge
+      Uplighted at his back.
+
+    Now this is the wild baron's hunt;
+      And many a village youth,
+    And many a sportsman (dare they speak)
+      Could vouch the awful truth.
+
+    For oft benighted midst the wilds
+      The fiendish troop they hear,
+    Now shrieking shrill, now cursing loud,
+      Come thundering through the air.
+
+    No hand shall stay those dogs of hell
+      Or quench that sea of fire,
+    Till god's own dreadful day of doom
+      Shall bid the world expire!

+
+                           A _Pindaric_ Ode.
+
+    'Tis he! 'tis he! I hear him from afar,
+    Thundering like the God of War;
+    To Rosbach's plains, in dread array,
+    The god-like hero bends his way!
+    Hark! the rattling rumbling noise of drums!
+        He comes, he comes!
+    See, _Prussia's_ awful king's at hand!
+    He speaks, he speaks! attentive stand!
+    His well known voice, the gallant warriours hear,
+    And bend their wide-extended wings both front and rear,
+        Which half enclose him round.
+    Stern as the face of war, and yet serene,  }
+    With grace attractive, and majestic mein,  }
+    Was the mighty monarch seen.               }
+    With martial rage each bosom glow'd,
+    While from his lips those moving accents flow'd--
+      'My valiant troops, my dear and trusty friends,
+    'The hour at last is come, in which depends
+    'What ever is, or should to us be dear,
+    'Upon the sword-unsheath'd, and glitt'ring spear.
+    'For PROTESTANTS-_unborn_ you fight: Your cause is good,
+    'Which you have yet maintain'd, thro' seas of richest blood.
+    'And, bear me witness, that your Prince thus far,
+    'Hath shar'd each danger in this glorious war;
+    'Nor shall it e'er by envious[35] tongue be told
+    'Your leader shrunk from watching, hunger, cold,
+    'And left the burden to his vet'rans bold
+        'Oh! no; my faithful bands!
+        'With you your FRED'RICK stands,
+    'For _Freedom_ ready to impart
+    'Those crimson drops that roll around his heart'--
+    He spoke: And acclamations loud,
+    Like thunder bursting from a cloud,
+    Struck th' approaching foe with awe;
+        And the madly-floating sound
+        Fill'd the wide extended plains around,
+          With the wild _Huzza_.
+        Each warrior, big with rage,
+        Stands panting to engage;
+    And now the voice of furious Joy
+    Again bursts forth into the vaulted sky;
+    And the rude rocks rebound
+    The warlike trumpet's solemn sound--
+        "Destroy! destroy! destroy!"
+      As water roaring from a mountain's side
+    Tears down whole rocks with its impetuous tide;
+    And rolling through the plains with furious sweep, }
+    Bears off the shepherd's cottage, and his sheep,   }
+    Into the surging of th' astonish'd deep;           }
+        So each band,
+        Sword in hand,
+        Pour'd on the foe;
+        Thund'ring, flashing,
+        Fiercely clashing
+        Arms on Arms--
+        Glory's Charms,
+        Fir'd each breast with martial glow,
+    Ah, see what piteous scenes appear.
+      When warriors yield their breath;
+    Now dying groans invade the ear,
+      They sink in glorious death.
+    _Prussian_ rage the foe confounds,
+      Some stagger, fall, are slain,
+    Some cover'd o'er with blood and wounds,
+      Lie weltring on the plain,
+        Surpriz'd and confounded,
+        With horror surrounded,
+        And pale fear half dead,
+        They're vanquish'd and fled.
+      Hark! hark! the trumpet's sound
+      A shout for _Victory_ spreads around;
+        And _Victory_ the vales,
+        And _Victory_ the dales,
+      And _Victory_ the tufted hills rebound!
+      When muttering thunders roll along the sky.
+    You may have seen the winged lightnings fly;
+    Quick as thought, the flashes glance
+    Thro' th' immensurable wide expanse--
+    So nimble warriours flew,
+    When they gave their foes the rout,
+    With this universal shout,
+        "Pursue! pursue! pursue!"
+    O'er carcasses of heroes slain,
+    The mighty victors rode,
+    Where shiver'd armour strew'd the plain
+    Empurpled o'er with blood;
+    Now thund'ring on their broken rear,
+    He spreads destruction, death and fear,
+    Till day forsakes him, and the sullen night,
+    In thickest gloom of hov'ring shades, descends
+    To the assistance of her ghastly friends,
+    And screens the _vanquish'd_ from the _victor's_ sight!

+      Lo Prussia's pow'rful prince!
+    With watchful eye and warlike hand,
+    Makes them aghast and trembling stand,
+      Rais'd up by providence.
+
+                    III.
+
+    As when a Lion rears his head,
+    The forest wide is fill'd with dread,
+      Each creature seeks his den;
+    Or when Leviathan the great
+    Displays himself in finny state
+      He terrifies the main.
+
+                    IV.
+
+    In fair record shall long remain
+    The DAY, when on _Thuringia's_ plain
+      SOUBISE before him fled;
+    When HILBOURGHAUSEN'S num'rous band
+    'Gainst Prussian valor could not stand,
+      With terror almost dead.
+
+                    V.
+
+    With haste they fled, and bless'd the night,
+    Which hid them from the victor's sight,
+      And favoured their retreat.
+    Near Freybourg walls, the _Unstrut_ pass'd.
+    On hills of Eckersberg harras'd,
+      They mourn'd their adverse fate.
+
+                    VI.
+
+    O glorious prince! O warlike train!
+    Who hunger, cold and toil sustain
+      With brave unyielding mind!
+    To you proud Austria shall submit,
+    And LOUIS lovingly shall greet
+      The _Prussian_ as his friend.
+
+                    VII.
+
+    In characters of purest gold
+    Thy speech deserves to be enroll'd,
+      Before the battle made;
+    Each Soldier stil'd great FRED'RICK'S friend,
+    Who can his country's rights defend
+      When her fierce foes invade.
+
+                    VIII.
+
+    Who would, in battle lag behind,
+    That serves a prince so great, so kind,
+      In every danger near?
+    When monarchs' lives are laid at stake,
+    What subject would his king forsake?
+      What room is left for fear?
+
+                    IX.
+
+    Europe on thee has fix'd her eye,
+    Great monarch! All on thee rely
+      Her balance just to keep.
+    May this great end thy labours crown,
+    Be sempiternal thy renown,
+      When thou in dust shall sleep.

+
+The same worthy motives that induced the author to send us the
+following poem, will induce us to give it place this month, altho we
+are already crowded with materials. We think it our duty, as _Britons_
+and _Protestants_, to take every opportunity of celebrating such an
+illustrious hero as the King of _Prussia_; and, however unequal the
+strains may be thought, yet if they contribute ever so little to raise
+an imitation of his noble and almost divine atchievments, in the cause
+of _Religion_ and _Liberty_, our end will be fully answered.
+
+
+                  ON THE GLORIOUS VICTORY OBTAINED BY
+                 THE HEROICK KING OF PRUSSIA OVER THE
+                     IMPERIAL ARMY NEAR NEWMARK IN
+                    SILESIA THE 5TH DECEMBER 1757.
+
+                    I.
+
+    My muse! again attempt the lyre;
+    Rouse! rouse! thy whole poetic fire!
+    Great FREDRICK'S deeds do still require
+            More ample praise.
+    Let his great acts the verse inspire,
+            And tuneful be thy lays.
+
+                    II.
+
+    Illustrious HANNIBAL of old,
+    CAESAR the brave and SCIPIO bold,
+    For battles won stand high enroll'd
+            In hist'ry's page!
+    Let Fred'rick's name with theirs be told,
+            The HERO of his age!
+
+                    III.
+
+    _Rosbach!_ thy plain the VICTOR owns!
+    'Twas fill'd with shrieks and dying groans,
+    And mangled limbs and shatter'd bones--
+            In heaps they lay!
+    The vanquished _Gaul_ as yet bemoans
+            That inauspicious day.
+
+                    IV.
+
+    Yea FRED'RICK bent on conquests new,
+    Doth ALEXANDER-like pursue,
+    As if the world he would subdue--
+            Undaunted prince!
+    That thou 'rt a _Hero_ great and true
+            Each action doth evince.
+
+                    V.
+
+    _Silesia_ first demands relief,
+    His losses there augment his grief;
+    Thitherward the _Prussians_ and their CHIEF,
+            To BEVERN'S aid
+    Make hasty marches; and in brief
+            Their parts they nobly play'd.
+
+                    VI.
+
+    See! see! the godlike MAN proceed!
+    And vet'ran bands to battle lead,
+    Inur'd to toil, and warlike deed,
+            A hardy race!
+    Such troops are princes' friends indeed,
+            And do their LEADER grace.
+
+                    VII.
+
+    The trumpet's sound, and loudest noise
+    Of martial drums, increase their joys;
+    Not by compulsion led, but choice,
+            And bold to fight,
+    Their _Country's_ cause in mind they poise;
+            _War! War!_ is their delight!
+
+                    VIII.
+
+    Now they engage with furious shout;
+    And join in battle fierce and stout,
+    Th' invet'rate _Foe_ at length they rout;
+            And loud they cry--
+    O! matchless _Prussians_! ne'er give out;
+            Pursue! Cut off! Destroy!
+
+                    IX.
+
+    Th' intrepid victors far and near
+    Spread fierce destruction on the rear,
+    Their enemies with trembling fear
+            Their arms lay down;
+    Who whilom haughty and severe,
+            Had deem'd the field their own.
+
+                    X.
+
+    See them triumphant bear away
+    Th' imperial standards waving gay!
+    A thousand trophies line the way;
+            As they return,
+    Beneath their feet, a hapless prey,
+            The vanquish'd mourn.
+
+                    XI.
+
+    Behold the blood impurpled plain,
+    And shiver'd armour of the slain!
+    Their dreams of honour, ah! how vain?
+            Gasping they lie!
+    Now of their wounds complain,
+            Now sink and faint and die.
+
+                    XII.
+
+    Such is th' event of human things,
+    The fates of emp'rors and of kings;
+    Death in the rear disaster brings,
+            Dreadful to see!
+    Such as great POPE or HOMER sings,
+            Strains far too high for me.
+
+                    XIII.
+
+    But CHARLES and valiant DAUN retreat,
+    Who lately led an army great--
+    At _Breslau_ now in shatter'd state
+            They rendezvous:
+    And there bemoan their adverse fate,
+            And dismal overthrow.
+
+                    XIV.
+
+    The _Prussian Chief_ pursues with speed,
+    At his approach they're fill'd with dread,
+    From whose terrific arm, dismay'd,
+            So late they flew!
+    O FREDRICK! matchless prince, proceed,
+            Thy glorious course pursue!
+
+                    XV.
+
+    To him those _Heros_ yield the town,
+    And him a _greater Hero_ own;
+    Who soon its walls could batter down,
+            And lay them low.
+    Long may he wear the _Prussian Crown_,
+            And curb each haughty _Foe_.

+
+                   A LITERAL TRANSLATION OF THE KING
+                           OF PRUSSIA'S ODE.
+
+                    I.
+
+        Oh God! all powerful God!
+            Invincible, unknown!
+          Creator, father of all;
+        Whom every nation implores;
+    Whom the Barbarian worships in the wind.
+        By what name will it please thee
+      That I shall address thee? Oh infinite,
+            All wise, and eternal spirit!
+    At the foot of thy sacred throne I most humbly bow my head.
+
+                    II.
+
+        Forsaken by my only friends,
+            In a strange country,
+        Where winter was near killing us;
+          The enraged enemy on every side,
+            With their savage instruments,
+            The sword and fire consuming,
+                As if sacrificers,
+          They came with their deadly rage,
+    And hasten'd to destroy us with cries of triumph.
+
+                    III.
+
+            But in thy penetrating view,
+          How vain are powerful troops!
+        I, still intrepid, dare the combat;
+      My buckler and my lance being my cause:
+              And behold the armies meet;
+    They turn their backs, we following to punish:
+              Victorious each of my soldiers
+                  Seems to carry of war
+                The most terrible thunder;
+    And every arm is a thousand in the fury of the combat.
+
+                    IV.
+
+            Then I owe thee success
+              To fortune! why so?
+              Justice succoured me;
+        From on high she cast down her eyes;
+    And when she perceived the contending parties,
+          She lifted up her hand to weigh
+              The right of each side,
+    And as she found the balance incline, she employ'd her sword.
+
+
+The King of Prussia employs himself in times of peace in the following
+manner: He rises at five; on business till seven; dresses, and
+receives letters and petitions till nine; from nine to eleven with his
+ministers; then on the parade, to exercise the guards; dines at half
+an hour after twelve with some of his officers; at half an hour after
+one he retires till five; then somebody reads to him till seven; then
+the concert; at nine come the men of genius; they sup half an hour
+after, and converse till eleven; then the king retires, and at twelve
+goes to bed.--He is a statesman, soldier, author, and musician;
+indefatigable in business; and by method overlooks and directs
+everything; very frugal; without farce of state; the idle officers of
+the court have the usual titles; but no pay for the drones, tho' they
+are mostly officers.
+
+
+                 THE THIRD PSALM PARAPHRASED, ALLUDING
+                       TO HIS PRUSSIAN MAJESTY.
+
+    Look down, O God! regard my cry!
+      On thee my hopes depend:
+    I'm close beset, without ally;
+      Be thou my shield and friend.
+    Confed'rate kings and princes league,
+      On ev'ry side attack
+    To perpetrate the black intrigue
+      But thou canst drive them back,
+    Long did I fear their wink and nod;
+      In close cabals they cry'd,
+    _There is no help for him in God_;
+      His kingdom we'll divide.
+    Amid their army's dreadful glare
+      Thou gav'st me inward might,
+    Teaching my arm the art of war,
+      My fingers how to fight.
+    Tho' vet'ran troops my camp invest,
+      Expert in war's alarms,
+    Calmly I lay me down to rest
+      In thy protecting arms.
+    Nor will I fear their empty boasts,
+      Tho' thousands thousands join;
+    Since thou art stil'd _the God of hosts_,
+      And victory is thine.
+    Arise, O God, and plead my cause,
+      O! save me by thy pow'r;
+    If e'er I reverenc'd thy laws,
+      Guide this important hour!
+    'Tis done!--they shudder with dismay;
+      My troops maintain their ground:
+    Lo! their embattl'd lines give way,
+      And we are victors crown'd!
+    Success, ye kings, is not your gift;
+      To heav'n it does belong:
+    The race not always to the swift
+      Nor battle to the strong.

+                                TROOPS.
+
+    To injured troops thus gallant BRUNSWICK spoke;
+    'Shall we with tameness bear the _Gallic_ yoke!
+    'Will ye, O Veterans, inur'd to pains
+    'And toils of War, drag ignominious chains?
+    'Turn and behold! behold where hostile bands
+    'Seize on your properties, lay waste your lands,
+    'Your daughters, wives, snatch'd forcibly away,
+    'Slaves to proud _Gallia's_ sons, to best a prey!
+    'Hark! how with piercing Cries, the tender Maid,
+    'By force subdu'd, implores her father's aid;
+    'In agonies repeats her brother's name,
+    'To flay the ruffians and preserve her fame!
+    'Rouze! GERMANS! rouze! a glorious vengeance take;
+    'Religion, honour, freedom, all's at stake!'
+    ... "Enough," they cry'd, "let FERDINAND proceed,
+    "We dare to follow, where he dares to lead."
+    Fir'd by their country's wrongs, to arms they fly,
+    Resolv'd to save her, or resolved to die.

+
+          ON A CARGO OF FRENCH MUFFS SEIZ'D BY THE PRUSSIANS.
+
+    Lewis, the winter harsh, and climate rough,
+    To each of his nice captains, sends a muff,
+    Knowing his troops too tender to resist
+    The foe, without a furr to guard his wrist;
+    For who could prime his gun, or pistol hold,
+    Whose aching fingers were benumbed with cold.
+      _Prussia_, a different scheme in war approves;
+    Whose hardy veterans charge without their gloves.
+    Defy the rigour of the chilling air,
+    And fight, and conquer with their knuckles bare.
+      _Bourbon!_ if wreathes and triumphs are thy aim,
+    Think of some wiser way to purchase fame:
+    Some other arts thy rival to subdue,
+    Soft muffs, without keen swords, will never do;
+    Thy shivering troops would act a better part,
+    Would'st thou send something that could warm their heart;
+    Less for their valour than their heels admir'd
+    With fighting oft' ... with flying seldom tir'd,
+    Success thy arms would never fail to meet,
+    Were battles to be won by nimble feet.

+
+
+             THE KING OF PRUSSIA'S ODE IMITATED IN RHIME.
+
+                    1.
+
+        Father of all! all pow'rful Lord!
+        Infinitely unknown!
+        By heathen, and by saint ador'd,
+        Tho' differently, yet one;
+        By what great name shall I address
+        Thee everlasting king?
+        Oh! how my gratitude express?
+        Oh! how thy praises sing?
+    But, O great God! omniscient ever just,
+    Permit towards thy throne to bow, a particle of dust.
+
+                    2.
+
+        By friends forsaken ev'ry where,
+        Alone, the brunt to stand,
+        Winter's inclement cold to bear,
+        And in a foreign Land;
+        The foe, enrag'd on ev'ry side,
+        Dire implements of war
+        In various shapes and forms provide,
+        And doom them for our share.
+    Heav'ns! with what fury to the charge they fly;
+    Forestal the vict'ry, but forget that man was born to die!
+
+                    3.
+
+        Yet he who frequently has said,
+        That numbers don't avail,
+        Inspir'd us not to be dismay'd,
+        But stand, fight, and prevail:
+        The battle join'd, the foe gave way,
+        Superior valour own'd,
+        And left to us a glorious day,
+        With spoils and honours crown'd:
+    Each single _Prussian_ arm the hero play'd,
+    Dealt round an hundred deaths, an hundred conquests made.
+
+                    4.
+
+        Is it to fortune then I owe
+        This unthought for success?
+        Fortune is blind, it can't be so,
+        I must some other guess:
+        JUSTICE, bright heav'nly maid, beheld
+        The dire contention rise,
+        Saw, and her sacred beam she held
+        Suspended in the skies:
+    The _Austrian_ scale kick'd up, by our's weigh'd down,
+    Justice approv'd, and straight ordain'd the field to be our own.

+
+                        THE RELAXATION OF WAR:
+          OR THE HERO'S PHILOSOPHY, &C. WROTE BY THE KING OF
+               PRUSSIA, DURING HIS RESIDENCE AT BRESLAU.
+
+    Love by _Hope_ is still sustain'd,
+    _Zeal_ by the _Reward_ that's gain'd;
+    In _Pow'r_, _Authority_ begins,
+    _Weakness_ strength from _Prudence_ wins;
+    _Honesty_ is _Credit's_ wealth,
+    _Temp'rance_ the support of _Health_;
+    _Wit_ from calm _Contentment_ springs,
+    _Content_ 'tis _Competence_ that brings,
+    _Competence_, as all may see,
+    Springs from good _Oeconomy_.
+      Maids, to fan a lover's fire,
+    _Sweetness_ more than charms require;
+    _Authors_ more from _Truth_ may gain
+    Than from tropes that please in vain;
+    _Arts_ will less than _Virtues_ tend
+    _Happiness_ and _Life_ to blend;
+    He that _Happiness_ wou'd get
+    _Prudence_ more must prize than _Wit_,
+    More than _Riches_ rosy _Health_,
+    Blameless _Quiet_ more than _Wealth_.
+      Nought to _owe_, and nought to _hoard_,
+    Little _Land_ and little _Board_,
+    Little _Fav'rite_, true and kind,
+    These are blessings to my mind.
+    I, when winter comes, desire
+    Little _Room_ but plenteous _Fire_,
+    Temp'rate _Glasses_, gen'rous _Wine_,
+    _Dishes few_ whene'er I dine.
+    Yes, my sober thoughts are such,
+    Man must never have _too_ much;
+    _Not too much_ ... What solid sense.
+    Three such little words dispense!
+    Too much _Rest_ benumbs the mind;
+    Too much _Strife_ distracts mankind;
+    Too much _Negligence_ is _Sloth_;
+    Too much _Zeal_ is _Folly's_ growth;
+    Too much _Love_ our peace annoys,
+    Too much _Physic_ life destroys;
+    Too much _Cunning's_ fraudful art,
+    Too much _Firmness_ want of heart
+    Too much _sparing_ makes a knave;
+    Those are _rash_ that are _too_ brave;
+    Too much _Wealth_ like weight oppresses;
+    Too much _Fame_ with care distresses;
+    Too much _Pleasure_ death will bring,
+    Too much _Wit's_ a dang'rous thing;
+    Too much _Trust_ is folly's guide,
+    Too much _Spirit_ is but pride;
+    He's a dupe that is _too free_,
+    Too much _Bounty_ weak must be;
+    Too much _Complaisance_ a knave,
+    Too much _Zeal to please_ a slave.
+    This TOO MUCH, tho' bad it seem,
+    Chang'd with ease to good you deem;
+    But in this you err my friend,
+    For on _Trifles_ all depend.
+      Trifles great effects produce,
+    Both of pleasure and of use;
+    Trifles often turn the scale,
+    When in love or law we fail;
+    Trifles to the great commend,
+    Trifles make proud beauty bend;
+    Trifles prompt the poet's strain,
+    Trifles oft distract the brain;
+    Trifles, trifles more or less,
+    Give us, or withhold success;
+    Trifles, when we _hope_, can cheer,
+    Trifles smite us when we fear:
+    All the flames that lovers know,
+    Trifles quench and trifles blow.

+                  A LADY THAT HAD ORDER'D THE KING OF
+                PRUSSIA A PRESENT OF A THOUSAND POUNDS.
+
+    No more let haughty _Austrians_ cry,
+    "_Fred'rick_ our foe, has no ally."
+    The _British_ fair are on his side,
+    And for the next campaign provide;
+    Their fortunes to his chests transfer ...
+    Money the sinews is of war.
+    For him they plead, and much can say,
+    For him they grow devout and pray!
+    For him their martial ardours rise,
+    And arm afresh their killing eyes;
+    Those shining warriors ne'er were beat,
+    But gain a conquest by retreat.

+
+
+Gentlemen.
+
+The following small poetical performance was hastily composed at the
+request, and for the entertainment, of a select company of publick
+spirited friends, who gave me a short notice of their intention to
+dine with me, and drink the protestant champion's health, as they
+termed the king of _Prussia_. They were indulgent enough to express
+their unanimous approbation of the piece, and insisted on my sending
+it up to you, in order (if you would be of their opinion) to occupy a
+leaf in your _Magazine_. I hope no reader will think the dignity of
+the subject, lessened merely by the familiar strain, in which it is
+written: when they consider, that _such_ seemed most suitable to the
+occasion, the verses consisting of eleven feet, are to be read, like
+the _Greek Iambics_ (which were, anciently, much used in convivial
+festivities) with less solemnity and more rapidity, than the common
+heroic measure of ten feet in our language will admit.
+
+                                        Kent, Maryland, July 14, 1758.
+
+
+                           THE ROYAL COMET.
+
+    Mistaken astronomers, gaze not so high:
+    The _Comet_ foretold is not _yet_ in the sky.
+    It shines here on earth, tho' deputed from Heav'n;
+    And remarkably flam'd last year--_Fifty sev'n_.
+    In _Wodon's_[36] bold figure, three thousand years past,
+    O'er ancient Germania its lustre it cast.
+    Next, wearing _Arminius_[37], thy form, it return'd;
+    And, fatal to _Rome's_ blasted legions, it burn'd.
+    Now, attended with all the thunders of war,
+    Our _Prussia's_ great _Frederick_ is that _Blazing Star_!
+    Heav'ns proxy to nations opprest; but a _Sign_
+    To tyrants he comes of a vengeance divine.
+    Eccentric and rapid the north saw him rowl:
+    (For heroes and stars seem most bright near the pole)
+    To _Britain_ propitious he sheds forth his rays;
+    While _Babel's_ lewd _Harlot_, his terrors amaze.
+    The fierce _Russian Bear_ his splendors affright;
+    And _Austria's_ proud _Eagle_ now shrinks from his light.
+    While freedom's glad sons with due warmth he inspires;
+    The _Lillies_ of _France_ are all scorch'd in his fires.
+    False _Stockholm_ shall find the _Baltic_ no bar is.
+    Now at _Vienna_, he'll soon be at _Paris_.
+    O'er _Ocean_ from _Europe_ his influence hurl'd
+    Shall animate here, O _George_, thy new world.
+    Our laws, our religion, our rights he befriends,
+    And conquest o'er savage invaders portends;
+    O'er christians miscall'd, who their nature disgrace,
+    Bely human form, and god's image deface.
+
+      Hail, _Living Effulgence_, whose all honour'd name
+    Shall grace, first of mortals, the annals of fame!
+    Whose glory shall spread, thro' each age and each clime,
+    To the final extent of space and of time!
+    Who the Virtues _Trajan_ and _Titus_ unite;
+    The victor of empires, and _Mankind's Delight_!
+    Hail, radiance auspicious, from light's fountain born
+    Each dark hemisphere to relume and adorn!
+    To whom if compar'd, other kings all appear,
+    Like little dim _Sparklers_, round _Cynthia's_ bright sphere.
+    The wonder of monarchs, a patriot imperial,
+    Endow'd with a spirit of vigour aetherial!
+    For worth, less than your's in pale envy's despite,
+    Old chiefs claim'd to honours celestial a right!
+    From their funeral piles in flames eagles soar'd;
+    Earth's heroes grew gods, and dead kings were ador'd.
+    Defensive, fair justice, he fights in thy cause,
+    And his sword, lightning pointed, reluctant he draws,
+    His courage on aggregate perils still grows;
+    And his triumphs increase from multiply'd foes.
+    Ye _Caesars_, ye _Bourbons_, ye scourges of God,
+    Ye saw on the wings of the wind how he rode:
+    Revere then heav'ns champion, who, charg'd with your doom,
+    Shall quell the leagu'd hosts of _Gaul_, _Satan_ and _Rome_!
+    When earth's giant crew, each with manifold hands,
+    Assaulted _Jove's_ seat, in confederate bands;
+    Thus _Evius_ asserted the throne of his sire,
+    And heap'd o'er th' aggressors a mountain of fire!
+
+      Ye numberless suns, his kindred, on high,
+    For six thousand years whom cou'd ye descry;
+    Whom, like him, have seen of meer mortal birth;
+    Tho _Alfred_ and _Edward_ once dignify'd earth?
+    Blush, blush, scepter'd pirates, who trail your faint fire:
+    Ye meteors, that transiently dazzling expire!
+    Whose lust of vain pow'r stains the page of your story:
+    What glow worms ye look, and how lost in his glory?
+    Blush, butchers, whose banners red massacre shames,
+    That _Honest_ and _Great_ should bear different names!
+    Go waste the creation for empire and pelf:
+    The globe you may win, but _he_ conquers himself!
+    To spare he subdues; as he sought to defend;
+    Dire war's his forc'd mean: but fair peace his lov'd end.
+    Tho' trophies in battles o'er your's he can raise;
+    Yet these he accounts but a second rate praise.
+    Who by victories plum'd ne'er thinks it disgrace,
+    To sigh that they're earn'd by the blood of his race.
+    The public's first servant, and humble in station;
+    He found his firm glory on wise legislation.
+    His country's great father, in blessings most blest,
+    Who loses his own for the world's peace and rest!
+    Still only ambitious of fair-won renown,
+    And olives with laurels to wreath in his crown.
+    Say poet, philosopher, critick, divine,
+    What art thou?--Since all, but omniscience is thine.
+    Self-taught, tho' a king! and now destin'd to prove,
+    That _Minerva_, like thee, sprang perfect from _Jove_.
+    Like thee, fam'd for wisdom; like thee for alarms:
+    The goddess of science, and goddess of arms!
+      In his words, in his deeds, we read his great heart;
+    Too gen'rous for fraud, and too wise for mean art.
+    With aw still reflecting whence all grandeur springs;
+    And only dependent on thee, King of Kings!
+    The mate of his vet'rans in each noble feat;
+    The first in the charge, and the last in retreat,
+    A statesman and monarch, yet true to his word;
+    A soldier with honour, more bright than his sword.
+    Whom pow'r ne'er corrupted; whom learning adorns:
+    Who, ev'n in idea, court-turpitude scorns:
+    --Yet why should we wonder, that _this_ he disdains;
+    When the blood of good _George_ flows rich in his veins?

+            MR. VOLTAIRE'S LETTER TO HIS PRUSSIAN MAJESTY.
+                              Translated.
+
+    Kind Prince! whom the admiring world must own
+    By truth and nature form'd to grace a throne:
+    Whose dawn of empire like the solar ray,
+    Chears half the _North_ with hopes of lasting day;
+    Receive the homage which the Muses send,
+    Their fav'rite thou! their guardian! and their friend!
+    ARE you enthron'd?... And does your goodness deign
+    To own your poet, and regard his strain?
+    O blissful moment! dear auspicious grace!
+    Does FRED'RICK'S smile my wand'ring steps embrace?
+    Does his great soul possess'd of wisdom's balm,
+    (Ever benevolent, and ever calm!)
+    Leave all the dignity of state behind,
+    To meet the humble lover of mankind?
+    And can your hand the royal gift impart
+    To style me friend of your _distinguish'd_ heart?
+      Fame says of old, that _Phoebus_ heavenly bright,
+    O'er the wide world who spreads the living light,
+    So _Jove_ ordain'd ... his splendid carr resign'd,
+    To live below and humanize mankind:
+    No more his brows their wonted rays reveal'd,
+    A shepherd's form the exil'd god conceal'd;
+    In _Phrygian_ wilds to an unletter'd race,
+    He sung with such divinely-pleasing grace,
+    The savage nation in their softened hearts,
+    Receiv'd the love of virtue and of arts!
+    The rudest breasts the strong persuasion felt,
+    Were taught to think, to reason, and to melt!
+    Themselves to know, the social tye to own,
+    And learn they were not made to live alone!
+    Then every useful science sprung to birth,
+    And peaceful labour blest the smiling earth:
+    Men now united lost their antient rage,
+    Nature rejoic'd and blest her _golden age_;
+    An _age_ by heav'n design'd for man no more,
+    Unless a FREDERICK shall _that_ age restore!
+      It chanc'd as thro' the wood _Apollo_ stray'd,
+    Ere gathering numbers peopled half the shade;
+    As near the cooling stream he pass'd the day
+    And wak'd the golden lyre to wisdom's lay!
+    Attentive to the sound a _stranger swain_,
+    His reed attun'd to imitate the strain;
+    The god well-pleas'd the rustic genius spy'd,
+    Approv'd his aim, and deign'd to be his guide!
+    Aided his trembling hands to touch the string,
+    Whisper'd the words, and shew'd him how to sing!
+    The swain improving blest the care bestow'd,
+    Nor in the _master_ yet perceiv'd the _god_:
+    Nor knew the immortal flame his bosom fir'd,
+    But like a shepherd lov'd him, and admir'd!
+      In me, _great prince_, the image stands renew'd,
+    I feel myself with kindred warmth indu'd;
+    As to thy praise I tune the conscious lyre,
+    I ask whence draws my breast the noble fire?
+    Tell what inspires me, happy people tell?
+    Beneath my Fred'rick's orient sway who dwell:
+    From rapid _Rhine_ to silver-streaming _Meine_,
+    The peaceful subjects of his placid reign?
+    Or ye on _Prussia's_ amber yielding shore,
+    Who bless his name, and hail his guardian power!
+    Yes ... let consenting lands his virtues raise,
+    And fame with all her tongues repeat his praise!
+    Whose scepter shall _Astrea's_ rule restore,
+    And bid dejected MERIT[38] sigh no more.
+      As once directed by the voice of fame
+    To _wisdom's King_ the _southern princess_ came;
+    At FREDERICK'S call ... see ravish'd to obey,
+    The sons of learning take their chearful way;
+    To hear _that_ sense which still attention draws;
+    And bless _that_ goodness which directs his laws;
+    Close by his throne _Philosophy_ shall smile,
+    To view her prince approve her children's toil!
+    While _Science_ joys to see his kind regards
+    Inspire the muse, his bounty still rewards;
+    Not distant far, calm _Charity_ shall stand,
+    Stretching to _Piety_ her social hand:
+    _Justice_ shall banish _arbitrary might_,
+    And _Commerce_ chearful _Plenty_ shall invite:
+    But _Goodness_ chief ... in form angelic drest,
+    (Such as she lives in FREDERICK'S royal breast!)
+    Beneath her wings shall bid the worthy find
+    A shelter from the storms that vex mankind;
+    The friend of truth, by fraud or malice hurl'd
+    Through all the mazes of a faithless world.
+    Whom envy persecutes and bigots hate,
+    Shall here enjoy an undisturb'd retreat;
+    With HIM, who scorns the empty pride or blood,
+    But shares his grandeur with the _wise_ and _good_!
+    What tho' his prudence guards the chance of war,
+    His mildness eyes the mischief from afar!
+    What tho' his arms might _Caesar's_ laurels find,
+    The peaceful olive suits his greater mind:
+    Yet safe in all events the storm he views,
+    In peace or war ... the darling of the Muse!
+    In either state, alike insur'd success,
+    Since all his aim is to defend and bless!
+      Yet while impending clouds their darkness spread,
+    He arms for war ... but arms without a dread!
+    No _giant forms_[39] compose a vain parade,
+    No glittering _figures_ of the _warrior-trade_:
+    Valour he courts without the pomp of art,
+    And rises on the service of the heart:
+    He boasts it all his glory to be just
+    (A pride beyond the title of _August_!)
+    Which time secures, the most impartial friend,
+    And guards his _name_ till nature fells her end!
+      So when beneath the curs'd _Caesarian_ race
+    _Rome_ felt the horrors of her first disgrace;
+    Great _Trajan_ rose with every virtue blest,
+    To give the weary world the sweets of rest:
+    No blood, no conquest mark'd his spotless reign,
+    'Twas goodness form'd th' inviolable chain;
+    E'en _India's_ Kings receiv'd the willing yoke,
+    For goodness is a band no savage broke!
+      Not _Salem's_ walls defil'd with wilful blood,
+    A crime, her victor's clemency withstood:
+    Not all her honours levell'd with the dust,
+    Styl'd _Titus good_, or _merciful_, or _just_:
+    Love knit the charm on which his greatness rose,
+    A charm! not worlds united can oppose!
+    Behold the glorious pattern marks your rise!
+    Nor quit the steps by which he gain'd the skies:
+    Try to surpass! (but heav'n his _fate_ refuse!)
+    _He wept a day!_ ... which YOU _will never lose_!

+                  TRANSLATION OF AN EPISTLE FROM THE
+                 KING OF PRUSSIA TO MONSIEUR VOLTAIRE.
+
+    Voltaire, believe me, were I now
+    In private life's calm station plac'd,
+    Yet heav'n for nature's wants allow,
+    With cold indifference would I view
+    Departing fortune's winged haste,
+    And at the goddess laugh like you.
+    Th' insipid farce of tedious state,
+    Imperial duty's real weight,
+    The faithless courtier's supple bow,
+    The fickle multitude's caress,
+    And flatt'rers wordy emptiness,
+    By long experience well I know;
+    And, tho' a prince and poet born,
+    Vain blandishments of glory scorn.
+    For when the ruthless sheers of fate
+    Have cut my life's precarious thread,
+    And rank me with th' unconscious dead,
+    What will't avail that _I was_ great,
+    Or that th' uncertain tongue of fame
+    In mem'ry's temple chants my name?
+    One blissful moment whilst we live
+    Weighs more than ages of renown;
+    What then do potentates receive
+    Of good peculiarly their own?
+    Sweet ease, and unaffected joy,
+    Domestic peace, and sportive pleasure,
+    The regal throne and palace fly,
+    And, born for liberty, prefer
+    Soft silent scenes of lovely leisure
+    To what we monarchs buy so dear,
+    The thorny pomp of scepter'd care.
+    My pain or bliss shall ne'er depend
+    On fickle fortune's casual flight,
+    For, whether she's my foe or friend,
+    In calm repose I'll pass the night;
+    And ne'er by watchful homage own
+    I court her smile, nor fear her frown.
+    But from our stations we derive
+    Unerring precepts how to live,
+    And certain deeds each rank calls forth
+    By which is measur'd human worth.
+    _Voltaire_, within his private cell,
+    In realms where ancient honesty
+    Is patrimonial property,
+    And sacred freedom loves to dwell,
+    May give up all _his_ peaceful mind,
+    Guided by _Plato's_ deathless page,
+    In silent solitude resigned
+    To the mild virtues of a sage;
+    But I 'gainst whom wild whirlwinds wage
+    Fierce war with wreck-denouncing wing,
+    Must be to face the tempest's rage,
+    In thought, in life, in death a king.

+
+    Fire, water, woman, are man's ruin
+    Says wise Professor Vander Bruein
+    By flames a house I hir'd was lost
+    Last year; and I must pay the cost.
+    This spring the rains o'erflow'd my ground;
+    And my best Flanders mare was drown'd.
+    A slave I am to Clara's eyes:
+    The gipsy knows her power and flies.
+    Fire, water, woman, are my ruin:
+    And great thy wisdom Vander Bruein.

+
+                             ODE TO DEATH
+                   By Frederick II, King of Prussia.
+                 From the French, by Dr. Hawkesworth.
+
+    Yet a few years or days perhaps,
+    Or moments pass with silent lapse,
+      And time to me shall be no more;
+    No more the sun these eyes shall view,
+    Earth o'er these limbs her dust shall strew,
+      And life's fantastick dream be o'er.
+
+    Alas! I touch the dreadful brink,
+    From nature's verge impell'd I sink,
+      And endless darkness wraps me round!
+    Yes, Death, is ever at my hand,
+    Fast by my bed he takes his stand,
+      And constant at my board is found.
+
+    Earth, air and fire, and water join
+    Against this fleeting life of mine,
+      And where for succour can I fly?
+    If art with flattering wiles pretend
+    To shield me like a guardian friend,
+      By Art, ere Nature bids, I die.
+
+    I see this tyrant of the mind,
+    This idol Flesh to dust consigned,
+      Once call'd from dust by power divine:
+    Its features change, 'tis pale, 'tis cold--
+    Hence dreadful spectre! to behold
+      Thy aspect, is to make it mine.
+
+    And can I then with guilty pride,
+    Which fear nor shame can quell or hide,
+      This flesh still pamper and adorn?
+    Thus viewing what I soon shall be,
+    Can what I am demand the knee,
+      Or look on aught around with scorn?
+
+    But then this spark that warms, that guides,
+    That lives, that thinks, what fate betides?
+      Can this be dust, a kneaded clod!
+    This yield to death! the soul, the mind,
+    That measures heaven, and mounts the wind,
+      That knows at once itself and God?
+
+    Great Cause of all, above, below,
+    Who knows thee must forever know,
+      Immortal and divine!
+    Thy image on my soul imprest,
+    Of endless being is the test,
+      And bids Eternity be mine.
+
+    Transporting thought!--but I am sure
+    That endless life will joy secure?
+      Joys only to the just decreed!
+    The guilty wretch expiring goes,
+    Where vengeance endless life bestows,
+      That endless mis'ry may succeed.
+
+    Great God, how awful is the scene!
+    A breath, a transient breath between;
+      And can I jest, and laugh and play?
+    To earth, alas! too firmly bound,
+    Trees, deeply rooted in the ground,
+      Are shiver'd when they're torn away.
+
+    Vain joys, which envy'd greatness gains,
+    How do ye bind with silken claims,
+      Which ask Herculean strength to break!
+    How with new terrours have ye arm'd
+    The power whose slightest glance alarm'd!
+      How many deaths of one ye make!
+
+    Yet, dumb with wonder, I behold
+    Man's thoughtless race in errour bold,
+      Forget or scorn, the laws of death;
+    With these no projects coincide,
+    Nor vows nor toils, nor hopes they guide,
+      Each thinks he draws immortal breath.
+
+    Each blind to fate's approaching hour,
+    Intrigues, or fights for wealth or power,
+      And slumb'ring dangers dare provoke:
+    And he who tott'ring scarce sustains
+    A century's age, plans future gains,
+      And feels an unexpected stroke.
+
+    Go on, unbridled desp'rate band,
+    Scorn rocks, gulfs, winds, search sea and land,
+      And spoil new worlds wherever found.
+    Seize, haste to seize the glittering prize,
+    And sighs, and tears and prayers despise,
+      Nor spare the temple's holy ground.
+
+    They go, succeed, but look again,
+    The desperate hand you seek in vain,
+      Now trod in dust the peasant's scorn.
+    But who, that saw their treasures swell,
+    That heard th' insatiate rebel,
+      Would e'er have thought them mortal born?
+
+    See the world's victor mount his car,
+    Blood marks his progress wide and far,
+      Sure he shall reign while ages fly;
+    No, vanish'd like a morning cloud,
+    The hero was but just allow'd
+      To fight, to conquer, and to die.
+
+    And is it true, I ask with dread,
+    That nations heap'd on nations bled
+      Beneath his chariot's fervid wheel,
+    With trophies to adorn the spot,
+    Where his pale corse was left to rot,
+      And doom'd the hungry reptile's meal?
+
+    Yes, fortune weary'd with her play,
+    Her toy, this hero, casts away,
+      And scarce the form of man is seen:
+    Awe chills my breast, my eyes o'erflow,
+    Around my brows no roses glow,
+      The cypress mine, funereal green.
+
+    Yet in this hour of grief and fears,
+    When awful Truth unveil'd appears,
+      Some power unknown usurps my breast;
+    Back to the world my thoughts are led,
+    My feet in folly's labyrinth tread,
+      And Fancy dreams that life is blest.
+
+    How weak an empress is the mind,
+    Whom Pleasure's flowery wreaths can bind,
+      And captive to her altars lead!
+    Weak Reason yields to Frenzy's rage,
+    And all the world is Folly's stage,
+      And all that act are fools indeed.
+
+    And yet this strange and sudden flight,
+    From gloomy cares to gay delight,
+      This fickleness so light and vain,
+    In life's delusive transient dream,
+    Where men nor things are what they seem,

+          [A poem, the third stanza of which is as follows:]
+
+    Perhaps, like Werter[40], pensive in the shade,
+      I mourn in vain, and curse relentless fate
+    Or while I love the sympathetic maid,
+      Adversity's black clouds around me wait.

+            CHARLOTTE'S SOLILOQUY--TO THE MANES OF WERTER.
+                       By the late doctor Ladd.
+
+    Why, Werter, dost thou leave me so?
+      I wander through the gloom:
+    And with the tears of silent woe,
+      Each night bedew thy tomb.
+
+    Why, Werter, dost thou leave me so?
+      Thy friends, thy kindred flee?
+    Dost thou no longer Charlotte know?
+      Have friends no charms for thee?
+
+    Why, Werter, dost thou leave me so,
+      All lonely, full of fears?
+    Behold thy friends are left to woe,
+      And Charlotte left in tears.
+
+    Why, Werter, dost thou leave me so,
+      To wander round thy tomb?
+    Alas! presentiments of woe
+      Foretold thy fatal doom.
+
+    Why Werter didst thou leave me so,
+      In terrible despair?
+    Those pistols did thy fate foreknow:
+      Ah! why was Charlotte there!
+
+    Why, Werter, didst thou leave me so?
+      Alas! thou wrong'dst my love,
+    To leave me weeping here below,
+      While thou art blest above.
+
+    Werter, thou shalt not leave me so:
+      We must not parted be:
+    I quit the world--to heav'n I go!
+      Werter, I fly to thee.

+
+                    I
+
+    And say, did Charlotte's hand these pistols give?
+    Come, ye dear pledges, sacred to my love--
+    Since giv'n by her, 'twould be a crime to live--
+    No; come ye pistols; all your death I prove.
+
+                    II
+
+    But first one kiss, for there did Charlotte touch,
+    Ye sacred relics, now are ye most dear;
+    Tho' o'er your deeds will Charlotte sorrow much,
+    And even Albert drop a pitying tear.
+
+                    III
+
+    May heav'n forgive the unconsider'd deed!
+    It gave me passions, nor could I controul:
+    But if, poor Werter, 'tis a crime to bleed,
+    The God of heav'n have mercy on thy soul.
+
+                    IV
+
+    Charlotte I go!--my pistols have their load:
+    My last, my dying thoughts are fix'd on you!
+    I go! I go thro' death's untrodden road;
+    Once, and for ever, Charlotte--Oh! adieu!

+
+      Stranger! whoe'er thou art, that from below

+
+                    II
+
+      Although his soul with ev'ry virtue mov'd,
+    Tho' at his birth deceitful fortune smil'd,
+    In one sad hour, too fatally he lov'd;
+    False fortune frown'd, and he was sorrow's child.
+
+                    III
+
+      Heav'n gave him passions, as she virtue gave,
+    But gave not pow'r those passions to suppress:
+    By them subdu'd he slumbers in the grave--
+    The soul's last refuge from terrene distress.
+
+                    IV
+
+      Around his tomb, the sweetest grass shall spring;

+    And passing strangers shed the pitying tear.

+    Still on those plains their num'rous race survive,
+    And, born to labour, still are found to thrive;
+    Through rain and sunshine, toiling for their heirs,
+    They hold no nation on this earth like theirs.
+    Where'er they fix, all nature smiles around--
+    Groves bend with fruit, and plenty clothes the ground;
+    No barren trees to shade their domes, are seen;
+    Trees must be fertile, and their dwellings clean;

+    The wheel, the loom, the female band employ,--

+    The strong-ribb'd lass no idle passions move,
+    No nice ideas of romantic love;
+    He to her heart the readiest path can find,
+    Who comes with gold, and courts her to be kind.
+    She heeds not valour, learning, wit, or birth,
+    Minds not the swain--but asks him, what he's worth?
+    No female fears in her firm breast prevail,
+    The helm she governs, and she trims the sail;
+    In some small barque the way to market finds,
+    Hauls aft the sheet, or veers it to the winds:
+    While, lac'd ahead, subservient to her will,
+    Hans smokes his pipe, and wonders at her skill.
+      Health to their toils--thus may they still go on--
+    Curse on my pen! what virtues have I drawn!
+    Is this the gen'ral taste? No--truth replies--
+    If fond of beauty, guiltless of disguise,
+    See (where the social circle meant to grace)
+    The handsome Yorker shades her lovely face;
+    She, early led to happier talks at home,
+    Prefers the labours that her sex become;
+    Remote from view, directs some fav'rite art,
+    And leaves to hardier man the ruder part.

+    A little time had shewn e'en Charlotte's charms

+    For guilt and meanness ne'er could dwell with thee;
+    And virtuous friendship soon had set thee free.
+    But hadst thou triumph'd o'er the fair one's fall,
+    Thou then, as now, hadst met the fatal ball;
+    Still keener anguish had attack'd thy mind

+
+                             ELLA. A TALE.
+
+History says that Sivard, King of Sweden, entered Norway with a
+numerous army, and committed the greatest enormities; but was at last
+overthrown, his army routed, and himself slain by one of those women
+whom he had brutally abused.
+
+    Between Norwegian hills wide spreads a plain,
+      By nature form'd for sport;
+    The Vet'ran warrior here, and hardy swain,
+      To annual games resort.
+
+    High o'er their heads was hung the hoary brow,
+      Which cast an ample shade;
+    From thence these words majestic seem'd to flow--
+      "Fierce foes your sports invade!"
+
+    They upward gaze--a warrior struck their sight;
+      He bore aloft his lance,
+    All sheath'd in arms, unsufferably bright,
+      Where beamy splendors dance.
+
+    The western sun-beam round his helmit flies,
+      He more than man appears;
+    And more than mortal seem'd to sound the voice
+      That rang upon their ears.
+
+    "Ye sons of Norway! harken to my tale,
+      "Your rural games oh cease;
+    "Sivard is marching thro' Dulvellon's vale,
+      "Break off the sports of peace!
+
+    "The bloody Sivard leads his conqu'ring Swedes,
+      "He riots in our shame;
+    "The man, the matron, and the infant bleeds--
+      "Norway is but a name!
+
+    "The husband sees--curse on the tyrant's lust--
+      "He sees his beauteous bride--
+    "Her virtue, worth, and honor in the dust--
+      "Oh where is Norway's pride!
+
+    "Rouse! rouse Norwegians! take your arms amain,
+      "Let helms o'ershade each brow;
+    "Let's meet these Swedish daemons in the plain,
+      "And lay their triumphs low.
+
+    "O had you seen what these poor eyes have seen!
+      "'Twas Sivard done the deed--
+    "Our hoary monarch, and our helpless queen,
+      "I--yes, I saw them bleed.
+
+    "Their daughter Ella--no, I will not tell!
+      "Norwegians ne'er enquire--
+    "Ne'er hear it--what the royal maid befel;
+      "I see your souls on fire.
+
+    "Oh seize your swords, your spears, helms, and shields!
+      "Oh vindicate your fame!
+    "Sivard and Sweden glare on Norway's fields;
+      "Remember Norway's name."
+
+    He said--tears flow apace, fierce glow the swains,
+      Rage fills each honest breast;
+    In Swedish blood to wipe away their stains,
+      Was ev'ry thought address'd.
+
+    Then red-hair'd Rollo, fierce advancing cri'd,--
+      "Who'er thou art, come down,
+    "We live on hills, to ev'ry toil we're tri'd,
+      "And war is all our own.
+
+    "Let Sivard come, we'll meet the tyrant here:
+      "But stranger come thou down."
+    He came--Old Athold gaz'd with look severe;--
+      He gaz'd--but ceas'd to frown.
+
+    "Or Athold has forgot his monarch's face,
+      "Or sure thou art his son!
+    "Eric, of mighty Norway's royal race!"--
+      Full quick the tidings run.
+
+    With shouts they press to see the beauteous chief;
+      The aged kiss his hand:
+    On either side, fast roll'd the marks of grief,
+      Then Athold spoke the band--
+
+    "Ye sons of Norway, to your homes repair,
+      "There seize the sword and shield,
+    "And ere the morning's purple streaks the air,
+      "Meet Eric in the field.
+
+    "Oh prince! do you with aged Athold go,
+      "And take refreshing sleep;
+    "Athold will sing and soothe the rising woe,
+      "Or break his harp and weep!"
+
+    'Twas night--in Athold's hall each took his place;
+      Of other times he sung;
+    Fast stream'd the tears adown the hero's face,
+      And groans responsive rung.
+
+    Bright came the morn; and bright in batter'd arms,
+      The rustic vet'rans came:
+    And many a youth, untri'd in rough alarms,
+      Now hop'd a patriot's name.
+
+    They heard from far the hum of Sivard's host;
+      Young Eric struck his shield;
+    Then high in air his heavy spear he tost,
+      And blaz'd along the field.
+
+    Next aged Athold follow'd; Rollo strong;
+      Black Calmar lifts his mace;
+    Culullin, Marco, Streno, rush along,
+      And all the rugged race.
+
+    Fierce came the Swede;--in strength of numbers proud;
+      He scorn'd his feeble foe;
+    But soon the voice of battle roar'd aloud,
+      And many a Swede lay low.
+
+    Strong Rollo struck the tow'ring Olaus dead,
+      Full fifteen bleed beside:
+    Old Athold cleft the brave Adolphus head,
+      In all his youthful pride.
+
+    But Eric! Eric! rang'd the field around,
+      On Sivard still he cri'd;
+    The gasping Swedes lay heap'd upon the ground--
+      Sivard! the hills repli'd.
+
+    In fury Sivard seiz'd his shining shield,
+      His mail, his helm, and spear;
+    He mounts his car, and thunders o'er the field;
+      Now Norway knows no fear.
+
+    Great Rollo falls beneath his dreadful arm,
+      His steeds are stain'd with blood;
+    Young Eric smil'd to hear the loud alarm,
+      And flew to stop the flood.
+
+    He rag'd, he foam'd--fierce flew the thirsty spear,
+      Down fell the foremost steed:
+    Astonish'd Sivard felt unusual fear,
+      "Tyrant thou'rt doom'd to bleed!"
+
+    Up sprang the youth--deep fell the sword,
+      Sunk in the tyrant's brow:
+    Fast fly the Swedes, and leave their hated lord,
+      His mighty pride laid low.
+
+    Now Norway's sons their great deliv'rer hail,
+      But lo! he bleeds! he falls!
+    Old Athold strips the helm and beamy mail,
+      And on his Gods he calls.
+
+    He lifts the helm, and down the snowy neck
+      Fast falls the silky hair--
+    And could those limbs, the conq'ring Sivard check!
+      Oh pow'r of great despair!
+
+    Life ebbs apace--she lifts her languid head,
+      She strives her hand to wave;
+    Confess to all, the beauteous Ella said--
+      "Thanks, thanks companions brave:
+
+    "Freedom rewards you--naught can Ella give,
+      "Low, low poor Ella lies;
+    "Sivard is dead! and Ella wou'd not live."
+      She bleeds--she faints--she dies!

+
+                         PEASANT OF THE ALPS.
+
+      Where cliffs arise by Winter crown'd,
+      And through dark groves of pine around,
+    Down the deep chasms, the snowed torrents foam,
+      Within some hollow, shelter'd from the storms,
+      The PEASANT of the ALPS his cottage forms,
+    And builds his humble, happy home.
+
+      Unenvied is the rich domain,
+      That far beneath him on the plain,
+    Waves its wide harvests and its olive groves;
+      More dear to him his hut, with plantain thatch'd,
+      Where long his unambitious heart attach'd,
+    Finds all he wishes, all he loves.
+
+      There dwells the mistress of his heart,
+      And _Love_ who teaches ev'ry art,
+    Has bid him dress the spot with fondest care;
+      When borrowing from the vale its fertile soil,
+      He climbs the precipice with patient toil,
+    To plant her fav'rite flow'rets there.
+
+      With native shrubs, a hardy race,
+      There the green myrtle finds a place,
+    And roses there, the dewy leaves decline;
+      While from the crags' abrupt and tangled steeps,
+      With bloom and fruit the Alpine berry peeps,
+    And, blushing, mingles with the vine.
+
+      His garden's simple produce stor'd,
+      Prepared for him by hands ador'd
+    Is all the little luxury he knows:
+      And by the same dear hands are softly spread,
+      The Chamois' velvet spoil that forms the bed,
+    Where in her arms he finds repose.
+
+      But absent from the calm abode
+      Dark thunder gathers round his road,
+    Wild raves the wind, the arrowy light'nings flash,
+      Returning quick the murmuring rocks among,
+      His faint heart trembling as he winds along;
+    Alarm'd he listens to the crash.
+
+      Of rifted ice!--Oh, man of woe!
+      O'er his dear cot--a mass of snow,
+    By the storm sever'd from the cliff above,
+      Has fall'n--and buried in its marble breast,
+      All that for him--lost wretch--the world possest,
+    His home, his happiness, his love!
+
+      Aghast the heartstruck mourner stands!
+      Glaz'd are his eyes--convuls'd his hands,
+    O'erwhelming anguish checks his labouring breath;
+      Crush'd by Despair's intolerable weight,
+      Frantic he seeks the mountain's giddiest height,
+    And headlong seeks relief in death.
+
+      A fate too similar is mine,
+      But I--in ling'ring pain repine,
+    And still my last felicity deplore;
+      Cold, cold to me is that dear breast become,
+      Where this poor heart had fondly fix'd its home,
+    And love and happiness are mine no more.

+
+              A GENERAL VIEW OF SWITZERLAND AND THE ALPS,
+                      WITH AN AFFECTING ANECDOTE.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+But to return to our Alps. Here, savage rocks of an inaccessible
+height; there, torrents bursting, as it were, from the clouds, and
+rolling down the rugged precipices:
+
+                        The gay train,
+    Of fog, thick roll'd into romantic shape,
+
+may, perhaps, excite your wonder, but not exceed the compass of your
+imagination. But how shall I convey to you an idea of the ever-varying
+and accidental beauties of this majestic scenery! Sometimes the
+vapour-winged tempest, flitting along some lonely vale, embrowns it
+with a solemn shade, whilst every thing around glitters in the
+fullness of meridian splendour. On a sudden, all is dark and gloomy;
+the thunder rolls from rock to rock, till echo seems tired with the
+dreadful repetition: add to this, the gradual approach of the evening,
+the last gleam of sunshine fading on the mountain-brow, the lingering
+twilight still warding off the veil of night, till the rising moon
+just continues, in vision, a glimmering of its faded glories:
+
+    Now all's at rest--and ere the wearied swain
+      Rise to his labour on the upland lawn,
+    Shall not the muse from nature catch a strain,
+      To wake, and greet him at the morning dawn?
+
+    Oh! let her tell him that the feeling heart,
+      Oft to the mountain side by memory led,
+    Shall seek those blessings wealth can ne'er impart,
+      And wish to share the quiet of his shed:
+
+    Where ev'ry sordid passion lull'd to rest,
+      Man knows each gift of nature how to prize:
+    Flies from the storm unto his fair one's breast,
+      And there reposing waits serener skies.
+
+    Say, ye proud sons of fortune and of power,
+      Can aught the joys you feel, with these compare?
+    Can the full triumph of ambition's hour,
+      When tempests threaten, sooth your anxious care?
+
+    Or shall the tenant of yon lonely cot,
+      That smiles with pity on your pageant state,
+    Pleas'd with his poor but independent lot,
+      Expose the wretchedness of being great?
+
+    Unknown to you, the houseless child of woe,
+      The friendless pilgrim, or the hungry poor;
+    Unleft the good ye carelessly bestow,
+      The hand that feeds them, drives them from your door.
+
+    Here cruel charity no off'ring makes,
+      That whilst it aids, insults the big distress,
+    The heart that welcomes, ev'ry grief partakes,
+      And only pities where it can't redress.
+
+Such are the scenes, my dear Lord, such the hospitality I am now going
+to quit. I know not why I wished to jingle their virtues into rhyme,
+unless it was, that my prose began to run upon stilts, or that I
+mistook a momentary enthusiasm for a poetical inspiration. In fact,
+every thought and conception is so far raised above the common train
+of ideas, that the error is excusable, especially too when the
+imaginary poet sets out with

+                            THE WATER-KING.
+
+A Danish Ballad. By the Author of Alonzo the Brave.
+
+[The poem follows.]
+
+Since writing these stanzas, I have met with two old Scotch ballads
+which have some resemblance with "The Water King"; one is called "May
+Colvin," and relates the story of a king's daughter who was beguiled
+from her father's house by a false Sir John; the other, intitled
+"Clerk Colvil," treats of a young man who fell into the snares of a
+false mermaid; the latter, indeed, bears a still stranger resemblance
+to the Danish tradition of "The Erl-King's Daughter." The fragment of
+"The Water King" may be found in "Herder's Volkslieder."
+
+Many inquiries have been made respecting the elementary monarchs
+mentioned a few pages back; I must inform my readers that all I know
+respecting the Water King (called in the German translation "Der
+Wasser-Mann") and the Erl-King (called in German Erlkoenig) is gathered
+from the foregoing ballad and two others which I shall here insert.
+With respect to the Fire King and the Cloud King, they are entirely of
+my own creation; but if my readers choose to ascribe their birth to
+the "Comte de Gabalis," they are very welcome.

+
+                                                  Virg. Ae. I-466.
+
+    The conflict's o'er--ah! lovely maid, adieu!
+    Before these sad, these parting lines, you view;
+    Before the fields with early dawn shall bloom,
+    Your Werter rests beneath the silent tomb:
+    No more to view the beauties of the day,
+    No more to listen to thy heavenly lay,
+    To sit, in transport, and to hear thee talk,
+    Or with thee wander, in an ev'ning walk,
+    Along the margin of the winding flood,
+    Thro' the green fields, or in the shady wood.
+      O! Charlotte! when you see the floods arise,
+    And wintry storms descending from the skies,
+    The wat'ry gloom that fills the plain below,
+    And all around one dreary waste of snow;
+    Will you not then, a sigh in sorrow heave,
+    For the lost pleasures of a summer's eve,
+    Recall the time when you so oft have seen
+    Thy hapless lover on the verdant green,
+    Or thro' the vale approaching from the grove,
+    To view thy charms and pine in hopeless love,
+    Gaze on thy angel form, for without she,
+    The world appear'd a boundless blank to me.
+    As when to seamen, from the midnight skies
+    The moon's bright beams in brilliant glory rise,
+    To guide them wand'ring thro' the wat'ry plain,
+    Or land them on their native shores again;
+    Thus, Charlotte, I no other joy could see,
+    Than pass the vacant day, and gaze on thee,
+    Live in thy joys, or in thy sorrows die,
+    "And drink delicious poison from thine eye,"
+    As the lost insect round the taper flies,
+    And courts the fatal flame by which it dies.
+    But, Charlotte, now those fleeting joys are fled,
+    And Werter sinks among the silent dead
+    From the bright hopes of life forever gone,
+    His mem'ry lost, and e'en his name unknown,
+    The time shall come, when in the vacant mind,
+    The fondest friend no trace of me shall find;
+    When e'en my kindred my sad fate shall hear,
+    And view my mould'ring grave without a tear,
+    Think on the light impressions of the mind,
+    Which flee as midnight dreams, and leave no trace behind.
+      This eve I wander'd thro' each beauteous scene,
+    Each fertile valley, and each level green,
+    Pensive and sad I view'd the foaming flood;
+    And the wild winds disturb the silent wood.
+    Beheld the sun's great orb, in glory bright,
+    Descend behind the western surge in night;
+    While on the hill to see its beams, I stood,
+    And view'd it sinking in the briny flood,
+    I felt my heart with double sorrows prest,
+    And life's last hope desert my throbbing breast;
+    The world's vast scene forever clos'd from sight,
+    And all involv'd in one eternal night.
+      Ah! shall I ne'er again thy image know,
+    In these sad realms of misery and woe,
+    Or is there yet a place in heaven design'd,
+    For hapless mortals by th' eternal mind,
+    Some winding valley, or some shady grove,
+    Some blissful mansions in the realms above,
+    Where Charlotte's shade and mine may one day meet,
+    Our suff'rings ended and our bliss complete,
+    In the bright regions of eternal light,
+    Where all is perfect joy and pure delight.
+      When in the summer's eve you chance to stray
+    Thro' the low vale, or on the broad highway,
+    Or in the churchyard, thro' the shady trees,
+    You hear the whistling of the midnight breeze,
+    Wave high the grass, in solitary gloom,
+    Around the heap that shews thy lover's tomb--
+    Ah, then will you not one sad thought bestow,
+    On him who could no greater blessing know
+    Than pass the hour with fleeting joys with thee,
+    Gaze on thy charms and watch thy wand'ring eye,
+    Observe the beauteous image of thy mind,
+    Disclose a soul for heaven alone design'd,
+    Or view thy distant form amidst the trees,
+    And thy white tresses floating in the breeze;
+    Or see thy fingers strike, with tender lays,
+    Such notes as bards in heaven alone can raise;
+    Such notes as Orpheus' self might lean to hear,
+    And force from Pluto's soul the melting tear.
+    Yes, Charlotte's self, my sad remains shall see,
+    And Charlotte's tender heart will heave a sigh for me.

+_Dessert to the True American_, I-No. 20, Nov. 24, 1798, [Phila.].
+
+
+The following burlesque on the style, in which most of the German
+romantic ballads are written, is replete with wit and humour; and we
+trust will prove amusing even to the greatest admirers of that style
+of writing. It is only necessary to premise that Lord Hoppergallop has
+left his servant maid at his country mansion, where she has fallen
+with the gardener.
+
+      Cold blows the blast:--the night's obscure:
+    The mansion's crazy wainscots crack:
+      The sun had sunk:--and all the moor,
+    Like ev'ry other moor--was black.
+
+      Alone, pale, trembling, near the fire,
+    The lovely Molly Dumpling sat,
+      Much did she fear, and much admire,
+    What Thomas, gard'ner could be at.
+
+      Listening, her hand supports her chin,
+    But, ah! no foot is heard to stir:
+      He comes not, from the garden, in;
+    Nor he, nor little Bobtail cur.
+
+      They cannot come, sweet maid, to thee!
+    Flesh, both of cur and man, is grass!
+      And what's impossible, can't be;
+    And never, never, comes to pass!
+
+      She paces through the hall antique,
+    To call her Thomas from his toil;
+      Opes the huge door;--the hinges creak,--
+    Because the hinges wanted oil.
+
+      Thrice on the threshold of the hall,
+    She "Thomas" cried, with many a sob;
+      And thrice on Bobtail did she call,
+    Exclaiming sweetly--"Bob! Bob! Bob!"
+
+      Vain maid! a gard'ners corpse, 'tis said
+    In answers can but ill succeed;
+      And, dogs that hear when they are dead
+    Are very cunning dogs, indeed!
+
+      Back through the hall she bent her way,
+    All, all was solitude around!
+      The candle shed a feeble ray--
+    Though a large mould of four to th' pound.
+
+      Full closely to the fire she drew;
+    Adown her cheek a salt tear stole,
+      When, lo! a coffin out there flew,
+    And in her apron burnt a hole!
+
+      Spiders their busy death watch tick'd;
+    A certain sign that fate will frown;
+      The clumsy kitchen clock, too, click'd;
+    A certain sign it was not down.
+
+      More strong and strong her terrors rose;--
+    Her shadow did the maid appal;--
+      She trembled at her lovely nose--
+    It look'd so long against the wall.
+
+      Up to her chamber, damp and cold,
+    She clim'd lord Hoppergallop's stair;--
+      Three stories high, long, dull and old--
+    As great lords' stories often are.
+
+      All Nature now appear'd to pause;
+    And "o'er the one half world seem'd dead;"
+      No "curtain'd sleep" had she;--because
+    She had no curtains to her bed.
+
+      Listening she lay;--with iron din,
+    The clock struck twelve; the door flew wide;
+      When Thomas grimly glided in,
+    With little Bobtail by his side.
+
+      Tall, like the poplar, was his size;
+    Green, green his waistcoat was, as leeks,
+      Red, red as beet root, were his eyes;
+    And, pale, as turnips, were his cheeks!
+
+      Soon as the spectre she espied,
+    The fear struck damsel faintly said,
+      "What would my Thomas?"--he replied,
+    "O! Molly Dumpling! I am dead."
+
+      "All in the flower of youth I fell,
+    Cut off with health's full blossom crown'd;
+      I was not ill--but in the well
+    I tumbled backwards, and was drown'd.
+
+      "Four fathom deep thy love doth lie;
+    His faithful dog his fate doth share;
+      We're friends;--this is not he and I;
+    We are not here--for we are there.
+
+      "Yes;--two foul water fiends are we;
+    Maid of the moor! attend us now!
+      Thy hour's at hand;--we come for thee!
+    The little fiend cur said "bow wow!"
+
+      "To wind her in her cold grave,
+    A Holland sheet a maiden likes;
+      A sheet of water thou shalt have;
+    Such sheets there are in Holland dykes."
+
+      The fiends approach; the maid did shrink;
+    Swift through the night's foul air they spin;
+      They took her to the green well's brink,
+    And, with a souse, they plump'd her in.

+              From the shop of Messrs. Colon and Spondee.
+
+Among the newest and most delightful miscellanies, lately received
+from England, may be ranked a poetical work, entitled "_Tales of
+Terror_." This is partly intended as a burlesque of the various
+ballads in Lewis's celebrated romance, "_The Monk_." We well remember,
+that this member of the British parliament has amused himself, and
+alarmed his readers, by resorting to the cells of Gothic superstition,
+and invoking all the forms of German horror, to appal every timid
+heart. Hence, we have been haunted by ghosts of all complexions; and
+"_Cloud Kings_," and "_Water Kings_," and "_Fire Kings_," have been
+crowned by this poetical magician, to rule with despotism in the
+realms of Fancy. A lively satirist, endowed with the gifts of Genius,
+easy in versification, pleasant in his humour, and inimitably
+successful in parody, has, in some of his "_Tales of Terror_"
+undertaken to mock the doleful tones of Mr. Lewis's muse, or shall we
+rather say the hoarse caw of the German raven. The midnight hour has
+been beguiled, by transcribing the following sarcasm, founded on a
+well-known nursery story, and our readers will thank us for sitting up
+so late for their amusement.

+                        LITTLE RED RIDING HOOD.
+                         An Old Woman's Tale.
+
+Veteres avias tibi de pulmone revello           _Persius_.
+
+Translated from the Danish of the author of the Water King, etc., and
+respectfully inscribed to M. G. Lewis, Esq., M.P., as an humble
+attempt to imitate his excellent version of that celebrated ballad.
+
+    The birds they sung, the morning smil'd
+    The mother kiss'd her darling child,
+    And said ... "My dear, take custards three,
+    And carry to your grandmummie."
+
+    The pretty maid had on her head
+    A little riding hood of red,
+    And as she pass'd the lonely wood,
+    They call'd her small red riding hood.
+
+    Her basket on her arm she hung,
+    And as she went thus artless sung:
+    "A lady lived beneath a hill,
+    Who if not gone, resides there still."
+
+    The wolf king saw her pass along,
+    He ey'd her custards heard her song,
+    And cried "That child and custards three
+    This evening shall my supper be!"
+
+    Now swift the maid pursu'd her way,
+    And heedless trill'd her plaintive lay;
+    Nor had she pass'd the murky wood,
+    When lo! the wolf king near her stood.
+
+    "Oh! stop my pretty child so gay!
+    Oh! whither do you bend your way?"
+    "My little self and custards three
+    Are going to my grandmummie."
+
+    "While you by yonder mountain go,
+    On which the azure blue bells grow,
+    I'll take this road; then haste thee, dear,
+    Or I before you will be there.
+
+    "And when our racing shall be done,
+    A kiss you forfeit, if I've won;
+    Your prize shall be, if first you come,
+    Some barley sugar and a plumb."
+
+    "Oh! thank you, good sir Wolf," said she,
+    And dropt a pretty courtesie:
+    The little maid then onward hied,
+    And sought the blue bell mountain side.
+
+    The wolf sped on o'er marsh and moor,
+    And faintly tapp'd at granny's door:
+    "Oh! let me in, grandmummy good,
+    For I am small red riding hood."
+
+    "The bobbin pull (the grandam cried),
+    The door will then fly open wide."
+    The crafty wolf the bobbin drew,
+    And straight the door wide open flew.
+
+    He pac'd the bed room eight times four,
+    And utter'd thrice a hideous roar;
+    He pac'd the bed room nine times three,
+    And then devour'd poor grandmummie.
+
+    He dash'd her brains out on the stones,
+    He gnaw'd her sinews, crack'd her bones;
+    He munch'd her heart, he quaff'd her gore,
+    And up her lights and liver tore.[41]!!!!
+
+    Grandmummy's bed he straight got in,
+    Her night-cap tied beneath his chin;
+    And, waiting for his destin'd prey,
+    All snug between the sheets he lay.
+
+    Now at the door a voice heard he,
+    Which cried ... "I've brought you custards three;
+    Oh! let me in, grandmummy good,
+    For I am small red riding hood."
+
+    "The bobbin pull (the wolf king cried),
+    The door will then fly open wide."
+    The little dear the bobbin drew,
+    And straight the door wide open flew.[42]
+
+    She plac'd the custards on the floor,
+    And sigh'd ... "I wish I'd brought you _four_.[43]
+    I'm very tir'd, dear grandmummie;
+    Oh! may I come to bed to thee?"
+
+    "Oh come! (the wolf king softly cried),
+    And lie, my sweet one, by my side:"
+    Ah! little thought the child so gay
+    The cruel wolf king near her lay!
+
+    "Oh! tell me, tell me, granny dear,
+    Why does your _voice_ so gruff appear?"
+    "Oh! hush, sweetheart (the wolf king said),
+    I've got a small cold in my head!"
+
+    "Oh! tell me, grandmummie so kind,
+    Why you've a _tail_ grows out _behind_?"
+    "Oh! hush thee, hush thee, pretty dear,
+    My pincushion I hang on there!"
+
+    "Why do your _eyes_ so glare on me?"
+    "They are your pretty face to see."
+    "Why do your _ears_ so long appear?"
+    "They are your pretty voice to hear."
+
+    "Oh! tell me, granny, why to-night
+    Your teeth appear so long and white?"[44]
+    Then, growling, cried the wolf so grim,
+    "They are to tear you limb from limb!"
+
+    His hungry teeth the wolf king gnash'd,
+    His sparkling eyes with fury flash'd,
+    He op'd his jaws all sprent with blood,
+    And fell on small red riding hood.
+
+    He tore her bowels out one and two,
+    "Little maid, I will eat you!"
+    But when he tore out three and four,
+    The little maid she was no more!
+
+    Take warning hence, ye children fair;
+    Of wolves' insidious arts beware;
+    And, as you pass each lonely wood,
+    Ah! think of small red riding hood!
+
+    With custards sent, nor loiter slow,
+    Nor gather blue bells as you go;
+    Get not to bed with grandmummie,
+    Lest she a ravenous wolf should be!

+
+    Hail, deadly Autumn, and thy fading leaf,
+    I love thee, drear and gloomy as thou art;
+    Not joyful Spring, like thee can soften grief,
+    Nor gaudy Summer soothe the aching heart;
+    But in thy cheerless, solitary bower,
+    Beneath the varied shade, I love to lie,
+    When dusky Evening's melancholy hour
+    With boding clouds obscures the low'ring sky,
+    And tuneless birds and fading flowers appear
+    In grief to hang their heads, and mourn the parting year.
+
+    'Tis not the gloomy sky, the parting year,
+    'Tis not the Winter's dreary reign I mourn,
+    But absent friends--and _one_ than life more dear,
+    And joys departed, never to return!
+    O gentle Hope, that 'mid Siberia's snows,
+    Can cheer the wretched exile's lingering year,
+    And where the sun on curs'd Oppression glows,
+    Can check the sigh, and wipe the falling tear,
+    Thy gentle care--thy succour I implore;
+    O raise thy heavenly voice, and bid me weep no more.
+
+    Thou hears't my prayer--I feel thy holy flame--
+    And future joys in bright succession rise,
+    And mutual love and friendship--sacred name!
+    And home and all the blessings that I prize.
+    Thou, Memory, lendst thy aid, and to my view
+    Each friend I love, and every scene most dear,
+    In forms more bright than ever painter drew,
+    Fresh from thy pencil's magic tint appear.
+    Roll on, ye lingering hours, that lie between,
+    Till Truth shall realize, and Virtue bless, the scene.

+
+In the midst of the performance of his Lent Oratorio, (1759) of the
+Messiah, nature exhausted, he dropt his head upon the keys of the
+organ he was playing upon, and with difficulty raised up again. He
+recovered his spirits, and went on with the performance until the
+whole was finished. He was carried home, and died.
+
+    To melt the soul, to captivate the ear,
+    (Angels such melody might deign to hear,)
+    To anticipate on earth the joys of heav'n,
+    'Twas Handel's task: to him that pow'r was giv'n.
+
+    Ah, when he late attuned Messiah's praise,
+    With sound celestial, with melodious lays:
+    A last farewell, his languid looks express'd,
+    And thus, methinks, th' enraptur'd crowd addrest.
+
+    "Adieu, my dearest friend, and also you,
+    "Joint sons of sacred harmony, adieu!
+    "Apollo whispering, prompts me to retire,
+    "And bids me join the bright seraphic choir:
+
+    "Oh! for Elijah's car!" great Handel cry'd:
+    Messiah heard his voice, and Handel died.

+                 A Parody of Gray's Ode to Adversity.
+
+    Daughter of night, chaotic Queen!
+      Thou fruitful source of modern lays,
+    Whose turbid plot, and tedious scene,
+      The monarch spurn, the robber raise.
+    Bound in thy necromantic spell
+    The audience taste the joys of hell,
+    And Briton's sons indignant grown
+    With pangs unfelt before, at crimes before unknown.
+
+    When first, to make the nation stare,
+      Folly her painted mask display'd,
+    Schiller sublimely mad was there,
+      And Kotz'bue lent his leaden aid.
+    Gigantic pair! their lofty soul
+    Disdaining reason's weak control,
+    On changeful Britain sped the blow,
+    Who, thoughtless of her own, embraced fictitious woe.
+
+    Aw'd by thy scowl tremendous, fly
+      Fair Comedy's theatric brood,
+    Light satire, wit, and harmless joy,
+      And leave us dungeons, chains and blood.
+    Swift they disperse, and with them go,
+    Mild Otway, sentimental Rowe;
+    Congreve averts the indignant eye,
+    And Shakespeare mourns to view the exotic prodigy.
+
+    Ruffians, in regal mantle dight,
+      Maidens immers'd in thoughts profound,
+    Spectres, that haunt the shades of night,
+      And spread a waste of ruin round.
+    These form thy never-varying theme,
+    While, buried in thy Stygian stream,
+    Religion mourns her wasted fires
+    And Hymen's sacred torch low hisses, and expires.
+
+    O mildly on the British stage,
+      Great Anarch! spread thy sable wings;
+    Not fired with all the frantic rage,
+      With which thou hurl'st thy darts at kings.
+    As thou in native garb art seen,
+    With scattered tresses, haggard mien,
+    Sepulchral chains and hideous cry
+    By despot arts immur'd in ghastly poverty.
+
+    In specious form, dread Queen! appear;
+      Let falsehood fill the dreary waste;
+    Thy democratic rant be here,
+      To fire the brain, corrupt the taste.
+    The fair, by vicious love misled,
+    Teach me to cherish and to wed,
+    To low-born arrogance to bend,
+    Establish'd order spurn, and call each outcast friend.

+
+    Behind, the forest fir is heard to sigh,
+      On which the pensive ear delights to dwell;

+The following song by M. G. Lewis Esq. is, as we are apprized by that

+
+    A wolf, while Julia slept, had made
+      Her favorite lamb his prize;
+    Young Casper flew to give his aid,
+      Who heard the trembler's cries.
+    He drove the wolf from off the green,
+      But claim'd a kiss for pay.
+    Ah! Julia, better 'twould have been,
+      Had Casper staid away.
+
+    While grateful feelings warm'd her breast,
+      She own'd she loved the swain;
+    The youth eternal love professed,
+      And kiss'd and kiss'd again.
+    A fonder pair was never seen;
+      They lov'd the live long day:
+    Ah! Julia, better 'twould have been,
+      Had Casper staid away.
+
+    At length, the sun his beams withdrew,
+      And night inviting sleep,
+    Fond Julia rose and bade adieu,
+      Then homeward drove her sheep.
+    Alas! her thoughts were chang'd, I ween,
+      For thus I heard her say;
+    Ah! Julia, better 'twould have been,
+      Had Casper staid away.

+
+    Son of Angrym, warrior bold,
+    Stay thy travel o'er the wold;
+    Stop, Havardur, stop thy steed;
+    Thy death, thy bloody death's decreed.
+    She, Coronzon's lovely maid,
+    Whom thy wizard wiles betray'd,
+    Glides along the darken'd coast,
+    A frantic, pale, enshrouded ghost.
+    Where the fisher dries his net,
+    Rebel waves her body beat;
+    Seduc'd by thee, she toss'd her form
+    To the wild fury of the storm.
+      Know thou feeble child of dust,
+    Odin's brave, and Odin's just;
+    From the Golden Hall I come
+    To pronounce thy fatal doom;
+    Never shall thou pass the scull
+    Of rich metheglin deep and full:
+    Late I left the giant throng,
+    Yelling loud thy funeral song;
+    Imprecating deep and dread
+    Curses on thy guilty head.
+    Soon with Lok, thy tortur'd soul,
+    Must in boiling billows roll;
+    Till the God's eternal light
+    Bursts athwart thy gloom of night;
+    Till Surtur gallops from afar,
+    To burn this breathing world of war.
+      Bold to brave the spear of death,
+    Heroes hurry o'er the heath:
+    Hasten to the smoking feast--
+    Welcome every helmed guest,
+    Listen hymns of sweet renown,
+    Battles by thy fathers won;
+    Frame thy face in wreathed smiles,
+    Mirth the moodiest mind beguiles.--
+    Yet I hover always nigh,
+    Bid thee think,--and bid thee sigh;
+    Yet I goad thy rankling breast;--
+    Never, never, shalt thou rest.
+      What avails thy bossy shield?
+    What the guard thy gauntlets yield?
+    What the morion on thy brow?
+    Or the hauberk's rings below?
+    If to live in anguish fear,
+    Danger always threatening near:
+    Lift on high thy biting mace,
+    See him glaring in thy face;
+    Turn--yet meet him, madd'ning fly,
+    Curse thy coward soul, and die.
+      Not upon the field of fight
+    Hela seals thy lips in night;
+    A brother, of infernal brood,
+    Bathes him in thy heart's hot blood;
+    Twice two hundred vassals bend,
+    Hail him as their guardian friend;
+    Mock thee writhing with the wound,
+    Bid thee bite the dusty ground;
+    Leave thee suffering, scorn'd alone,
+    To die unpitied and unknown.
+      Be thy nacked carcase strew'd,
+    To give the famish'd eagles food;
+    Sea-mews screaming on the shore,
+    Dip their beaks, and drink thy gore.
+    Be thy fiend-fir'd spirit borne,
+    Wreck'd upon the fiery tide,
+    An age of agony abide.
+      But soft, the morning-bell beats one,
+    The glow-worm fades; and, see, the sun
+    Flashes his torch behind yon hill.
+    At night, when wearied nature's still,
+    And horror stalks along the plain,
+    Remember--we must meet again.

+
+
+Buerger's beautiful ballad,
+
+    Earl Walter winds his bugle horn,
+    To horse! to horse! halloo! halloo!.
+
+has given rise in England to a very humorous
+
+
+                                PARODY.
+                   Mirth, with thee I mean to live.
+
+    Earl Walter kicks the waiter's rump,
+      Down stairs! down stairs! halloo, halloo!
+    They sally forth, they wheel, they jump,
+      And fast the scampering watch pursue.
+
+    The jolly bucks from tavern freed,
+      Dash fearless on through thick and thin,
+    While answering alleys, as they speed,
+      Loudly re-echo to their din.
+
+    Saint Dunstan's arm, with massy stroke
+      The solemn midnight peal had rung,
+    And bawling out, "Past twelve o'clock,"
+      Loud, long and deep the watchman sung.
+
+    The clamorous Earl Walter guides,
+      Huzza, Huzza, my merry men,
+    When, puffing, holding both their sides,
+      Two strangers haste to join his train.
+
+    The right-hand stranger's locks were grey,
+      But who he was I cannot tell;
+    The left was debonnair and gay,
+      A dashing blood I know full well.
+
+    He wav'd his beaver hat on high,
+      Cried, "Welcome, welcome, noble lord!
+    What joys can earth, or sea, or sky,
+      To match our midnight sports afford?"
+
+    "Methinks," the other said, "'twere best
+      To leave, my friends, your frantick joys,
+    And for the balmy sweets of rest,
+      Exchange such rude discordant noise."
+
+    But still Earl Walter onward hies,
+      And dashing forward, on they go,
+    Huzza, huzza, each toper cries,
+      "Hark forward, forward, hollo ho!"
+
+    The jovial band Earl Walter guides,
+      Along the Fleet, up Ludgate-Hill,
+    And puffing, holding both their sides,
+      His boon companions follow still.
+
+    From yonder winding lane out springs
+      A phantom, white as snow,
+    And louder still Earl Walter sings,
+      "Hark forward, forward, hollo, ho!"
+
+    A quaker prim has crossed the way,
+      He sprawls their nimble feet below,
+    But what care they for _yea_-and-_nay_,
+      Still forward, forward, on they go.
+
+    See, at the corner of yon street,
+      A humble stall, with apples crown'd!
+    See, scatter'd by Earl Walter's feet,
+      The woman's apples rolling round.
+
+    "O Lord! have mercy on my stall,
+      Spare the hard earnings of the poor,
+    The helpless widow's little all,
+      The fruit of many a watchful hour."
+
+    Earnest the right hand stranger pleads,
+      The left still pointing to the prey,
+    The impatient Earl no warning heeds,
+      But furious holds the onward way.
+
+    "Away, thou poor old wither'd witch,
+      Or dread the scourge's echoing blow!"
+    Then loud he sung and wav'd his switch,
+      "Hark forward, forward, hollo ho!"
+
+    So said, so done; one single bound
+      Clears the _green grocer's_ humble stall;
+    While through the apples scatter'd round,
+      They hurry, hurry, one and all.
+
+    And now behold the tim'rous prey,
+      Beyond the reach of Comus' crew,
+    Still lightly trip along the way,
+      Unconscious who her steps pursue.
+
+    Again they wheel, their nimble feet
+      The devious way still quickly trace,
+    Down Ludgate-Hill, along the Fleet,
+      The unwearied Earl pursues the chase.
+
+    The watch now muster strong and dare
+      Dispute the empire of the field;
+    They wave their cudgels high in air,
+      "Now yield thee, noble Baron yield."
+
+    "Unmanner'd vagabonds! in vain
+      You strive to mar our nightly game;
+    Come on! come on! my merry men,
+      The raggamuffins we can tame."
+
+    In heaps the victims bite the dust,
+      Down sinks Earl Walter on the ground,
+    Now run who can, and lie who must,
+      For loud the _watchmen's rattles_ sound.
+
+    Now to the justice borne along,
+      In sullen majesty they go;
+    The place receives the motley throng,
+      And echoes to their hollo ho!
+
+    All mild amid the rout profane,
+      The _justice_ solemn thus began:
+    "Forebear your knighthood thus to stain,
+      Revere the dignity of man.
+
+    The meanest trull has rights to plead,
+      Which wrong'd by cruelty or pride,
+    Draw vengeance on thy guilty head,
+      Howe'er by titles dignified."
+
+    Cold drops of sweat in many a trill,
+      Adown Earl Walter's temples fall,
+    And louder, louder, louder still,
+      The surly watch for vengeance call.
+
+    The right-hand stranger anxious pleads;
+      The clamours of the mob increase,
+    The _riot act_ the justice reads,
+      And binds the Earl to keep the peace.
+
+    The court broke up, they sally out,
+      And raise a loud, a last huzza;
+    Then sneak'd away and hung his snout,
+      Each disappointed dog of law.
+
+    Muttering full many a curse, and fast
+      Homeward to slumber now they go;
+    Yet spite of all that now has passed,
+      You'll hear next night their hollo ho!
+
+    This is the Earl, and this his train,
+      That oft the awaken'd _Cockney_ hears;
+    With rage he glows in every vein
+      When the wild din invades his ears.
+
+    The dreaming maid sighs sad and oft,
+      That she her visions must forego,
+    When waken'd from her slumbers soft,
+      She hears the cry of hollo ho!

+                            SWISS PEASANT.
+
+            Turn we, to survey
+    Where rougher climes a nobler race display;
+    Where the bleak Swiss their stormy mansion tread,
+    And force a churlish soil for scanty bread,
+    Yet still, e'en here, Content can spread a charm,
+    Redress the clime, and all its rage disarm.
+    Though poor the peasant's hut his feast though small,
+    He sees his little lot, the lot of all;
+    Cheerful at morn, he wakes from short repose,
+    Breathes the keen air, and carrols as he goes.
+    At night returning, every labour sped,
+    He sits him down, the monarch of his shed;
+    Smiles by his cheerful fire, and round surveys,
+    His children's looks, that brighten at the blaze;
+    While his lov'd partner, boastful of her hoard,
+    Displays her cleanly platter on her board;
+    And haply too, some pilgrim, hither led,
+    With many a tale repays the nightly bed.

+
+                      THE SORROWS OF SWITZERLAND.
+
+    Helvetian vales! Where freedom fix'd her sway;
+    And all the social virtues lov'd to stray;
+    Soft blissful seats of undisturb'd repose,
+    Rever'd for ages by contending foes,
+    What envious demon, ranging to destroy,
+    Has marr'd your sports, and clos'd your song of joy?
+    What horrid yells the affrighted ear assail!
+    What screams of terror load the passing gale!
+    See ruffian hordes, with tiger rage advance,
+    The shame of manhood, and the boast of France!
+    See trampled, crush'd and torn in lustful strife
+    The loathing virgin and indignant wife!
+    While wanton carnage sweeps each crowded wood,
+    And all the mountain torrents swell with blood!
+    Lo! Where yon cliff projects its length of shade
+    O'er fields of death, a wounded chief is laid!
+    Around the desolated scene he throws
+    A look, that speaks insufferable woes:
+    Then starting from his trance of dumb despair,
+    Thus vents his anguish to the fleeting air:
+    "Dear native hills, amidst whose woodland maze,
+    I pass'd the tranquil morning of my days,
+    On whose green tops malignant planets scowl,
+    Where hell hounds ravage, and the furies howl;
+    Though chang'd, deform'd, still, still ye meet my view,
+    Ye still are left to hear my last adieu!
+    My friends, my children, gor'd with many a wound,
+    Whose mangled bodies strew the ensanguin'd ground,
+    To parch and stiffen in the blaze of day,
+    Consign'd to vultures, and to wolves a prey,
+    Your toils are past; no more ye wake to feel
+    Lust's savage gripe, or rapine's reeking steel!
+    And Thou, to whom my wedded faith was given,
+    On earth my solace, and my hope in heaven,
+    Approv'd in manhood, as in youth ador'd,
+    Belov'd while living, as in death deplor'd,
+    O stay thy flight! Around this dreary shore
+    A moment hover, and we part no more--
+    On thy poor corpse, thy bleeding husband hangs,
+    Counts all thy wounds, and feels thy ling'ring pangs--
+    O righteous fathers! Thou whose fostering care
+    Sustains creation, hear my dying prayer!
+    Look down, look down on this devoted land,
+    O'er my poor country stretch thy saving hand!
+    O let the blood that streaming to the skies,
+    Still flows in torrents--let that blood suffice!
+    To thee the dreadful recompense belongs--
+    To thy just vengeance I consign my wrongs;
+    O vindicate the rights of nation's sway,
+    And sweep the monsters from the blushing day!"

+                                POETRY.
+                               Original.
+
+Gentlemen,
+
+It has been remarked, that the poetick department of the Anthology
+abounds rather in selected than original productions; whether this be
+the result of choice or necessity, the following lines will not be
+considered inapplicable since they partake the nature of both
+characters, and hence, if in other respects worthy to appear, it is
+presumed they will not be rejected.
+
+
+                            FROM THE RUNIC.
+
+'The power of Musick is thus hyperbolically commemorated in one of the
+songs of the Runic Bards.'[45]
+
+I know a Song, by which I soften and enchant the arms of my enemies,
+and render their weapons of no effect.
+
+I know a Song, which I need only to sing when men have loaded me with
+bonds, for the moment I sing it, my chains fall in pieces, and I walk
+forth at liberty.
+
+I know a Song, useful to all mankind, for as soon as hatred inflames
+the sons of men, the moment I sing it they are appeased.
+
+I know a Song of such virtue, that were I caught in a storm, I can
+hush the winds and render the air perfectly calm.
+
+_Mo. Anthology_, IV-602, Nov. 1807, Boston.
+
+    [Footnote 45: See Godwin's _Life of Chaucer_.]
+
+
+                       THE SONG OF A RUNIC BARD.
+
+                      Imitated in English verse.
+
+                    I.
+
+    I know a Song, the magick of whose power
+    Can save the Warrior in destruction's hour;
+    From the fierce foe his falling vengeance charm,
+    And wrest the weapon from his nervous arm.
+
+                    II.
+
+    I know a Song, which, when in bonds I lay,
+    Broke from the grinding chain its links away.
+    While the sweet notes their swelling numbers rolled,
+    Back flew the bolts, the trembling gates unfold;
+    Free as the breeze the elastic limbs advance,
+    Course the far field, or braid the enlivening dance.
+
+                    III.
+
+    I know a Song, to mend the heart design'd,
+    Quenching the fiery passions of mankind;
+    When lurking hate and deadly rage combine,
+    To charm the serpent of revenge is mine;
+    By heavenly verse the furious deed restrain,
+    And bid the lost affections live again.
+
+                    IV.
+
+    I know a Song, which when the wild winds blow
+    To bend the monarchs of the forests low,
+    If to the lay my warbling voice incline,
+    Waking its various tones with skill divine,
+    Hush'd are the gales, the spirit of the storm
+    Calms his bleak breath, and smooths his furrow'd form,
+    The day look up, the dripping hills serene
+    Through the faint clouds exalt their sparkling green.

+
+                         THE SQUEAKING GHOST.
+
+A tale imitated from the German, according to the true and genuine
+principles of the horrifick.
+
+    The wind whistled loud! farmer Dobbin's wheat stack
+    Fell down! The rain beat 'gainst his door!
+    As he sat by the fire he heard the roof crack!
+    The cat 'gan to mew and to put up her back!
+      And the candle burnt--_just as before_!
+    The farmer exclaimed with a piteous sigh,
+      "To get rid of this curs'd noise and rout,
+    "Wife gi'e us some ale." His dame straight did cry,
+    Hemed and coughed three times three, then made this reply--
+      "I can't mun! Why? 'cause the cask's out!"
+    By the side of the fire sat Roger Gee-ho
+      Who had finished his daily vocation,
+    With Cicely, whose eyes were as black as a Sloe,
+    A damsel indeed who had never said No,
+      And because _she ne'er had an occasion_!
+    All these were alarmed by the loud piercing cries,
+      And were thrown in a terrible state,
+    Till open the door, with wide staring eyes,
+    They found to their joy, no less than surprise,
+      "_'Twas the old sow fast stuck in a gate!_"

+
+    O when shall I visit the land of my birth,
+    The loveliest land on the face of the earth?
+    When shall I those scenes of affection explore,
+        Our forests, our fountains,
+        Our hamlets, our mountains,
+    With the pride of our mountains, the maid I adore?
+    O when shall I dance on the daisy white mead,
+    In the shade of an elm, to the sound of the reed?
+
+    When shall I return to thy lowly retreat,
+    Where all my fond objects of tenderness meet?
+    The lambs and the heifers that follow my call;
+        My father, my mother,
+        My sister, my brother,
+    And dear Isabella, the joy of them all?
+    O when shall I visit the land of my birth?
+    'Tis the loveliest land on the face of the earth.

+On singing to a piano with a friend, the pathetic ballad of Mozart's
+"Vergiss me nicht,"[46] a few days previous to quitting my native
+country.
+
+    "Forget me not," nor yet the song,
+      Its plaintive notes our tears beguiling,
+    The fatal words died on my tongue,
+    And as you touch'd the trembling keys along,
+      Through lucid gems I saw you sadly smiling.
+
+    "Forget me not," ah! song of wo!
+      For never more our joys uniting,
+    With Sorrow's sigh no more to glow;
+    No more shall Pity's tear together flow,
+      Our love, our hopes, our joys forever blighting.
+
+    "Forget me not," oh! ever dear,
+      Let thrilling mem'ry o'er my fancy stealing,
+    As next you sing "Forget me not," a tear
+    Shall gently fall, my beating heart to cheer;
+      I'll never thee forget while I have life and feeling.

+                       THE SOLDIER OF THE ALPS.
+
+    In the vallies yet lingered the shadows of night,
+      Though red on the glaciers the morning sun shone,
+    When our moss-covered church-tower first broke on my sight,
+      As I cross'd the vast oak o'er the cataract thrown.
+
+    For beyond that old church-tower, embosomed in pines,
+      Was the spot which contained all the bliss of my life,
+    Near yon grey granite rock, where the red ash reclines,
+      Stood the cottage where dwelt my loved children and wife.
+
+    Long since did the blasts of the war-trumpet cease,
+      The drum slept in silence, the colours were furled,
+    Serene over France rose the day-star of Peace,
+      And the beams of its splendour gave light to the world.
+
+    When near to the land of my fathers I drew,
+      And the drawn light her features of grandeur unveiled,
+    As I caught the first glimpse of her ice-mountains blue,
+      Our old native Alps with what rapture I hailed.
+
+    "Oh! soon, I exclaimed, will those mountains be passed,
+      And soon shall I stop at my own cottage door,
+    There my children's caresses will greet me at last,
+      And the arms of my wife will enfold me once more.
+
+    "While the fulness of joy leaves me powerless to speak,
+      Emotions which language can never define,
+    When her sweet tears of transport drop warm on my cheek,
+      And I feel her fond heart beat once more against mine.
+
+    "Then my boy, when our tumults of rapture subside,
+      Will anxiously ask how our soldiers have sped,
+    Will flourish my bay'net with infantile pride,
+      And exultingly place my plumed cap on his head.
+
+    "Then my sweet girl will boast how her chamois has grown;
+      And make him repeat all his antics with glee,
+    Then she'll haste to the vine that she claims as her own,
+      And fondly select its ripe clusters for me.
+
+    "And when round our fire we assemble at night,
+      With what interest they'll list to my tale of the war,
+    How our shining arms gleamed on St. Bernard's vast height,
+      While the clouds in white billows rolled under us far.
+
+    "Then I'll tell how the legions of Austria we braved,
+      How we fought on Marengo's victorious day,
+    When the colours of conquest dejectedly wave
+      Where streamed the last blood of the gallant Dessaix."
+
+    'Twas thus in fond fancy my bosom beat light
+      As I crossed the rude bridge where the wild waters roll,
+    When each well-known scene crowded fast on my sight,
+      And Hope's glowing visions came warm to my soul.
+
+    Through the pine-grove I hastened with footsteps of air
+      Already my lov'd ones I felt in embrace,
+    When I came--of my cot not a vestige was there--
+      But a hilloc of snow was heap'd high in its place.
+
+    The heart-rending story too soon did I hear--
+      An avalanche, loosed from the near mountain's side,
+    Our cottage o'erwhelmed in its thundering career,
+      And beneath it my wife and my children had died.

+    Sleep on thou dear shade, rest in peace,

+
+    It was here the fond hope was inspired,
+      That with gladness enlivens my heart
+    That when this dull life is expired
+      We shall meet again never to part.
+
+    Yes, Werter, thy presage was just;
+      To cherish the hope be my care,
+    For should it forsake me, how must
+      I combat with grief and despair.

+
+To those who have admired the singular poems of Lewis, Walter Scott,
+and others, under the whimsical titles of "The Cloud-King," "The
+Fire-King," etc., the following burlesque ballad may afford some
+amusement.
+
+                            THE PAINT-KING.
+
+    Fair Ellen, was once the delight of the young;
+      No damsel could with her compare;
+    Her charms were the theme of the heart and the tongue,
+    And bards without number in extacies sung
+      The beauties of Ellen, the Fair.
+
+    But Ellen, though lovers in regiments threw
+      The darts of their eyes at her heart,
+    From the sorrow no pitying sympathy knew;
+    For, cold as an icicle-shower, they drew
+      Not a drop from that petrified part.
+
+    Yet still did the heart of fair Ellen implore
+      A something that could not be found;
+    Like a sailor it seem'd on a desolate shore,
+    With nor house, nor a tree, nor a sound, but the roar
+      Of breakers high-dashing around.
+
+    From object to object, still, still would she stray
+      Yet nothing, alas! could she find;
+    Through Novelty's mazes she rambled all day,
+    And even at midnight, so restless, they say,
+      In sleep would run after the wind.
+
+    Nay, rather than sit like a statue so still,
+      When the rain made her mansion a pound,
+    Up and down would she go like the sails of a mill,
+    And pat every stair, like a wood-pecker's bill,
+      From the tiles of the roof to the ground.
+
+    One morn, as the maid from her casement reclin'd,
+      Pass'd a youth with a frame in his hand.
+    The casement she clos'd; not the eye of her mind;
+    For do all she could, no, she could not be blind;
+      Still before her she saw the youth stand.
+
+    "And what can he do," said the maid with a sigh,
+      "Ah! what with that frame can he do?
+    I wish I could know it." When suddenly by
+    The youth pass'd again; and again did her eye
+      The frame, and a sweet picture view.
+
+    "Oh! sweet, lovely picture!" the fair Ellen sigh'd,
+      "I must see thee again or I die;"
+    Then under her white chin her bonnet she tied,
+    And after the youth and the picture she hied,
+      Till the youth, looking back, met her eye.
+
+    "Fair damsel," said he (and he chuckled the while),
+      "This picture, I see, you admire;
+    Then take it, I beg you, perhaps 'twill beguile
+    Some moments of sorrow: (pray pardon my smile)
+      Or, at least, keep you home by the fire."
+
+    Then Ellen the gift, with delight and surprise,
+      From the cunning young stripling receiv'd.
+    But she knew not the poison that enter'd her eyes,
+    When beaming with rapture they gazed on her prize:
+      Yet thus was fair Ellen deceiv'd!
+
+    'Twas a youth o'er the form of a statue inclin'd;
+      And the sculptor he seem'd of the stone;
+    Yet he languish'd, as though for its beauty he pin'd,
+    And gaz'd, as the eyes of the statue so blind
+      Reflected the beams of his own.
+
+    'Twas the tale of the sculptor, Pygmalion of old;
+      Fair Ellen remember'd and sigh'd,
+    "Ah! could'st thou but lift from that marble so cold,
+    Thine eyes so enchanting, thy arms should enfold,
+      And press me this day as thy bride."
+
+    She said: when, behold, from the canvass arose
+      The youth ... and he stepp'd from the frame;
+    With a furious joy, his arms did enclose
+    The love-plighted Ellen; and, clasping, he froze
+      The blood of the maid with his flame!
+
+    She turn'd and beheld on each shoulder a wing
+      "Oh! heaven!" cried she, "who art thou?"
+    From the roof to the ground did his fierce answer ring,
+    When frowning, he thunder'd, "I am the Paint-King!
+      And mine, lovely maid, thou art now!"
+
+    Then high from the ground did the grim monster lift
+      The loud-screaming maid, like a blast;
+    And he sped through the air, like a meteor swift,
+    While the clouds, wand'ring by him, did fearfully drift
+      To the right and the left as he pass'd.
+
+    Now, suddenly sloping his hurricane flight,
+      With an eddying whirl he descends;
+    The air all below him becomes black as night,
+    And the ground where he treads, as if mov'd with affright,
+      Like the surge of the Caspian bends.
+
+    "I am here!" said the fiend, and he thundering knock'd
+      At the gates of a mountainous cave:
+    The gates open'd wide, as by magick unlock'd,
+    While the peaks of the mount, reeling to and fro, rock'd,
+      Like an island of ice on the wave.
+
+    "Oh! mercy!" cried Ellen, and swoon'd in his arms.
+      But the Paint-King, he scoff'd at her pain.
+    "Prithee, love," said the monster, "what mean these alarms?"
+    She hears not, she sees not the terrible charms
+      That wake her to horror again.
+
+    She opens her lids; but no longer her eyes
+      Behold the fair youth she would woo:
+    Now appears the Paint-King in his natural guise;
+    His face, like a palette of villainous dies,
+      Black and white, red and yellow, and blue.
+
+    On a bright polish'd throne, of prismatical[47] spar,
+      Sat the mosaick fiend like a clod;
+    While he rear'd in his mouth a gigantick cigar
+    Twice as big as the light-house, though seen from afar,
+      On the coast of the stormy Cape Cod.
+
+    And anon, as he puff'd the vast volumes, were seen,
+      In horrid festoons on the wall,
+    Legs and arms, head and bodies, emerging between;
+    Like the drawing room grim of the Scotch Sawney Beane,
+      By the Devil dress'd out for a ball.
+
+    "Ah me!" cried the damsel, and fell at his feet,
+      "Must I hang on these walls to be dried?"
+    "Oh, no!" said the fiend, while he sprung from his seat,
+    "A far nobler fortune thy person shall meet;
+      Into paint will I grind thee, my bride!"
+
+    Then, seizing the maid by her dark auburn hair,
+      An oil-jug he plung'd her within.
+    Seven days, seven nights, with the shrieks of despair
+    Did Ellen in torment convulse the dim air,
+      All cover'd with oil to the chin.
+
+    On the morn of the eighth on a huge sable stone
+      Then Ellen, all reeking, he laid;
+    With a rock for his muller, he crush'd every bone;
+    But though ground to jelly, still, still did she groan;
+      For life had forsook not the maid.
+
+    Now reaching his palette with masterly care,
+      Each tint on the surface he spread;
+    The blue of her eyes, and the brown of her hair,
+    The pearl and the white of her forehead so fair
+      And her lips' and her cheeks' rosy red.
+
+    Then stamping his foot, did the monster exclaim,
+      "Now I brave, cruel Fairy, thy scorn!"
+    When lo! from a chasm unfathom'd there came
+    A small tiny chariot of rose-colour'd flame,
+      By a team of ten glowworms upborne.
+
+    Enthron'd in the midst on an emerald bright,
+      Fair Geraldine sat without peer;
+    Her robe was the gleam of the first blush of light,
+    And her mantle the fleece of a noon-cloud white,
+      And a beam of the moon was her spear.
+
+    In a voice that stole on the still charmed air,
+      Like the first gentle accent of Eve,
+    Thus spake from her chariot the Fairy so fair:
+    "I come at thy call ... but, oh Paint-King! beware,
+      Beware if again you deceive."
+
+    "'Tis true," said the monster, "thou queen of my heart!
+      Thy portrait I oft have essay'd;
+    Yet ne'er to the canvass could I with my art
+    The least of thy wonderful beauties impart;
+      And my failure with scorn you repaid.
+
+    "Now I swear, by the light of the Comet-King's tail!"
+      And he tower'd with pride as he spoke,
+    "If again with these magical colours I fail,
+    The crater of Etna shall hence be my jail,
+      And my food shall be sulphur and smoke.
+
+    "But if I succeed, then, oh! fair Geraldine!
+      Thy promise with rapture, I claim,
+    And thou, queen of Fairies, shalt ever be mine
+    The bride of my bed; and thy portrait divine
+      Shall fill all the earth with my fame."
+
+    He spake; when, behold the fair Geraldine's form
+      On the canvass enchantingly glow'd;
+    His touches, they flew like the leaves in a storm;
+    And the pure, pearly white, and the carnation warm,
+      Contending in harmony, flow'd.
+
+    And now did the portrait a twin-sister seem
+      To the figure of Geraldine fair:
+    With the same sweet expression did faithfully teem
+    Each muscle, each feature; in short, not a gleam
+      Was lost of her beautiful hair.
+
+    'Twas the Fairy herself! but, alas! her blue eyes
+      Still a pupil did ruefully lack;
+    And who shall describe the terrifick surprise
+    That seized the Paint-King, when, behold, he descries
+      Not a speck on his palette of black.
+
+    "I am lost!" said the fiend, and he shook like a leaf;
+      When, casting his eyes to the ground,
+    He saw the lost pupils of Ellen with grief
+    In the jaws of a mouse, and the sly little thief
+      Whisk away from his sight with a bound.
+
+    "I am lost!" said the fiend, and he fell like a stone:
+      Then rising the Fairy in ire,
+    With a touch of her finger she loosen'd her zone,
+    (While the limbs on the wall gave a terrible groan!)
+      And she swell'd to a column of fire.
+
+    Her spear now a thunder-bolt flash'd in the air,
+      And sulphur the vault fill'd around:
+    She smote the grim monster; and now by the hair
+    High lifting, she hurl'd him in speechless despair
+      Down the depths of the chasm profound.
+
+    Then waving, with smiles, o'er the picture her spear,
+      "Come forth!" said the good Geraldine;
+    When, behold, from the canvass fair Ellen appear!
+    In feature, in person more lovely than e'er,
+      With grace more than ever divine!

+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
+electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
+including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.  It exists
+because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
+people in all walks of life.
+
+Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
+assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
+remain freely available for generations to come.  In 2001, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
+and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations.
+To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
+and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4
+and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.org
+
+While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
+have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
+against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
+approach us with offers to donate.
+
+International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
+any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
+outside the United States.  U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
+
+Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation
+methods and addresses.  Donations are accepted in a number of other
+ways including including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate

+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S.
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we do not necessarily
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+
+Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
+Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
+subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
