A SPIRIT passed before my + face." + Job. + + +LONDON: +PRINTED FOR WILLIAM HONE, +45, LUDGATE HILL. + +1821. + +_Sixpence._ + + + + +J. M'Creery, Tooks Court, +Chancery Lane, London. + + + + +PREFACE. + + +The following lines were written under the powerful impulse of +feelings which appear to have been almost consentaneous with those of +the whole British people. The national spirit has been rouzed against +this cruel and unconstitutional attack upon the QUEEN, with pervasive +ardour, which forcibly recalls the language of the Augustan poet:-- + + "SPIRITUS intus alit, _totamque infusa per ARTUS_, + MENS agitat MOLEM, et _magno se corpore miscet_." + +This irresistible movement has been one of LOYALTY, not of FACTION; of +love and not of enmity towards the constitution. It is not disputed +that factious men exist, who are ready to swell public tumult whenever +it arises: but it is mere drivelling, for ministers and their +adherents, to talk of "_radicalism_" and _democracy_ on this occasion. +They must know, if they consult the commonest sources of intelligence +open to them, that detestation of "THE BILL OF PAINS AND PENALTIES" is +rooted beyond all possibility of eradication in the breasts of an +overwhelming majority of good men, and faithful subjects. + +At the moment when it was determined to send the following "VISION" to +the press, a burst of honest exultation has electrified the whole +kingdom. With feelings of solemn gratitude to God, and love for my +country, I rejoice not only that the QUEEN is thus delivered from the +fangs of her enemies; but that THE KING, THE CONSTITUTION, and THE +COUNTRY, have been thus, as I do unequivocally believe, rescued from a +tremendous explosion, which would at best have been of doubtful issue +to our liberties. + +Notwithstanding this most happy, this _providential_ result, I have +determined still to send out the poem to the public; because it +expresses in strong, however inadequate language, sentiments which are +essential to our character as a free people, and to the preservation +of our justly balanced monarchy. + +I have not assumed the FASCIS of satire, without deep conviction that +its rods were imperatively called into action: but most gladly shall I +reverse them, after the manner of the ancient LICTORS, over the +obsequies of an administration, which must be now in its death-pangs. +May succeeding cabinets be WARNED, _not guided_, by its example! + + + + +THE GHOST OF CHATHAM; + +_A VISION._ + + + A vision came! It was not in the hour + Of sleep; but when the unresisted power + Of magic Fancy, threw, with full control, + Her half prophetic mantle o'er the soul. + The place was thron'd like Britain's royal halls, + And her proud navy deck'd the tap'stried walls. + Statesmen and heroes grac'd the pictur'd scene; + Fathers who were what since their sons have been; + And some whose laurell'd brows might glow with shame, + Of sons with nought of their's besides the name. + In this august abode the loud debate + Seem'd hush'd, and prince and peer in silence sate; + E'en G--ff--d's brazen descant seem'd to fail, + And gasping C--pley gazed on L--d--rd--le; + Panting, they loll'd their contumelious tongues, + And suck'd _Italian juice_ to clear their lungs. + Y--k mus'd on _armies_; yet, with doubtful trust, + Wish'd he were certain, or the cause were just: + The eye of Cl--r--nce fiercely rang'd the floor, + But soften'd as it fell on D--n--ghm--re; + While L--v--rp--l, who inly seem'd to fear + For place and power, his fellows strove to cheer + With sickly smile; and courtier lords obscene, + Temper'd new filth, to daub their libell'd QUEEN. + + Sudden amid the peers whom ENGLAND hails + HER nobles--men who fail but when SHE fails, + The vision rose. It was a rev'rend form + Of aged dignity: its eye was warm + With kindlings of a spirit that of old + Made those walls tremble through its earthly mould. + Now a mild glory round its presence play'd, + And 'spoke from heav'nly courts the awful shade. + Its brow wore high reproof; the lifted arm + Was stretch'd for pleading; and there was a charm + Of coming eloquence, as firm it stood, + Like one whose rank was with the great and good; + And well that rank was own'd, when ERSKINE cried, + "'Tis England's CHATHAM!"--"CHATHAM!" all replied. + + Like the dead stillness of the summer air, + When pregnant clouds of shrouded fire are there, + They sat:--and like the voice of thunder broke + The rolling periods, as the vision spoke. + "Is this," he cried, "the consecrated floor, + Where England's peerage stood, as known of yore, + Jealous of honour, zealous for the laws; + Justice their sword, and England's weal their cause? + Are these the walls whose echoes then return'd + No words that chasten'd gallantry had spurn'd? + Is this the throne whose last loved tenant view'd + His people's morals as the monarch's good? + Display'd beneath the sov'reign diadem, + DOMESTIC VIRTUE, Britain's dearest gem; + And bade _Example_ to _his_ court proclaim + What taught, unpractis'd, is the teacher's shame? + Ah no! that throne is chang'd; this gew-gaw thing + Befits a raree-shew, not England's King! + And can it be that Brunswick's cherish'd heir + Will also change the laws which plac'd him there? + Forget the STUART'S FATE, the BRUNSWICK'S OATH; + Yet make his sorrowing subjects dwell on both? + Forbid it, Heaven! Far other thoughts he knew, + When yet his talents with his graces grew; + When Genius, Beauty, in his circle ran, + Admired the prince, and half adored the man. + Nor now _thus_ fall'n!--Yet whence this hot cabal + Of treasury bench, and bench episcopal? + These monstrous portents that before me rise + Of mitred pimps, and coronetted spies! + This deep, dark plotting, spreading net and snare, + By hands that used their country's ark to bear? + This hateful truckling to misguided power, + Combined in palace, temple, hall, and bower, + To crush an outcast Queen, with evidence + By facts refuted, ridiculed by sense?-- + Tales that would merit but an equal fate, + Told of the veriest wench in Billingsgate! + FATHERS! and BRITONS! whence this alien band + Of miscreant lechers bribed from sea and land?-- + By England spurn'd, yet plied with England's gold, + Till every scoundrel's stock of oaths was sold; + Then hither sent by hirelings vile as they, + To pass for sterling truth in open day. + Monstrous fatuity! and British peers + Have lent these vermin not unwilling ears; + For new-born lies have barter'd ancient law, + Broke public faith, to patch a private flaw, + And made a court that freemen never saw. + ACCUSERS, JURY, JUDGES, _all in ONE_! + O England! now be firm, or be undone! + Strangle this monster, ere its birth be o'er, + Or grov'lling lick the dust to rise no more! + Heard I aright? and was it HERE I heard + This crew 'gainst England's CONSORT QUEEN preferred? + Here did their sland'rous breath infest the air? + Hence did malicious tongues the scandal bear? + Gush'd 'neath this sacred dome the prurient flood + Of filth and venom, from that viper brood, + Which o'er the land hath spread its noisome stain, + While shudd'ring virtue weeps, but weeps in vain? + And (O shame's nauseous dregs!) did noble lips + Here taste that stream with epicurean sips? + And mitred heads, as o'er its scum they bent, + Snuff the rank steam, and chuckle at the scent?-- + My soul is sick!--I turn with sated ear, + And find a cordial in my brethren here. + Peers who their conscience to no market bring; + Respect themselves, their country, and their king: + Nor would round England's smiling hearths diffuse + The breath--the very atmosphere of stews. + O horrid! yes, I feel the blast impure, + Air no blessed spirit may unpained endure: + Yet leave I not without a warning voice: + Hear, and obey, and Britons shall rejoice! + + "You cannot, Lords! by votes create a crime, + Nor make your country's voice with falsehood chime:-- + You cannot quench, with all this flood of LIES, + A gallant people's glowing sympathies:-- + You cannot hide your idol God from them, + When prone you kiss its garment's nether hem:-- + You cannot waste their treasure on a cause, + That boldly violates their guardian laws; + And 'scape the arrows from their quiver hurl'd-- + The keen reproach, and hisses of the world. + You may cry 'GUILTY!' but the umpire land + Cancels the verdict with indignant hand, + Reveres the NOBLE MANY who uphold + The nation's dignity; nor brooks that gold, + Wrung hardly from her toiling sons, should pay + The Judas gang that would her rights betray. + Scorn meets THE FEW who, bought by pandering power, + Outvote the nation's voice in hapless hour. + O pause ere yet that fatal hour is seen!-- + Be counsell'd, Lords!--You cannot crush your Queen, + But by a blow that must, with blind intent, + Bruise THRONE and ALTAR in its dire descent! + + "O where, ye PRELATES! is your light withdrawn? + Where now the lustral influence of your lawn?[A] + Where the meek crosier, and the crook of fleece, + That guard the fold (not reckless of the peace)? + Is there no wolf in all your pastur'd plains? + No murrain rankling in your lambkins' veins? + No lurking thief, by whom they nightly bleed? + No arid spots refreshing streams that need? + O why, forgetful of your solemn call, + Sit ye, unmindful where the victims fall, + To _hire_ ONE SACRIFICE with cords be bound, + And your anointed hands inflict the wound? + O desecrated thus, by off'rings high + To demon passions!--Foul idolatry! + If such your rites, no LEVITE here I view, + But BAAL'S PRIESTS may leap and shout with you.[B] + O whither urge these bodings of my breast? + Let hope, let charity their flight arrest! + In Britain's SARDIS, surely some remain + Whose courtly robes yet bear no wilful stain! + PRINCES! and PEERS! once more on you I call-- + Save! save your tottering glory ere it fall! + If truth, if virtue, to your hearts be dear; + If sounds of sweet content you love to hear; + If generous sons, and daughters chaste, you prize, + And all a happy home's delightful ties; + If just gradation on the social scale + Be worth your care; if rank can aught avail: + If rev'rence for the altar and the throne, + Be yours, and GEORGE the lawful king, you own: + If rights your fathers were combin'd to save, + When Britain's sceptre to his race they gave, + Be justly claim'd, as justly claim'd they are + By every son that British mothers bear: + O save your names from hate, disgrace, and scorn, + HIST'RY'S bequest to ages yet unborn! + + "Ah! heard ye not your lion-genius roar, + And shake with mighty tread his ev'ry shore? + Deem not that roar in vain; for it hath found + Redoubl'd echoes all the realm around, + And generous hearts have rous'd them at the sound. + There is a spirit mightier far than yours-- + Magnanimous and mild, it much endures: + But urg'd too far, a giant's strength awakes, + And gyves and bonds at one fierce effort breaks. + O hear yet more! There is a GOD, whose eye + Pierces your counsels' darkest mystery; + Whose blessing England owns for countless years, + Whose vengeance now she deprecates with tears. + To HIM your Queen appeals, and at HIS bar, + Your names must mark the awful calendar; + There must the witness CONSCIENCE naked plead, + And guilty kings receive the culprit's meed. + O think on this! e'en now that witness own, + And save YOURSELVES, your COUNTRY, and your THRONE!"-- + + The vision ceas'd, and in a radiant cloud + Withdrew--The breathless senate rev'rent bow'd. + New vigour throbb'd in every patriot breast, + And nerveless horror sicken'd all the rest. + + THE END. + + +FOOTNOTES: + +[A] See the Earl of Chatham's animated speech against the employment +of Indian warriors to assist in the subjugation of America. + +[B] In this, as I conceive, seasonable reproof of certain "_Lords +Spiritual_" I would not be understood to involve the whole of that +reverend body. Some of them, I firmly believe, have remained at a +distance from the combat, aged and infirm, like ELI, sitting by the +wayside of Shiloh, and watching with trembling heart, lest the ark (I +will not say of GOD, but of THE CONSTITUTION) should fall in the +unhallowed conflict. Others, perhaps, have not cared to meddle in what +they may have considered a doubtful matter: but it must not be +concealed, that when TRUTH and JUSTICE are at stake, _neutrality_ is +no honourable sanctuary for the avowed servants of the TEMPLE. Let the +Bishops beware of discovering their nakedness upon the very steps of +the altar.--The eye of an enlightened people is upon them; and _with +their character for real consistent PIETY, and fidelity to sound +PROTESTANT PRINCIPLES, THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND will stand or fall_. + + + + +J.

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 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. |
