DAVIS, _Clark Memorial Library_ + + + + +INTRODUCTION + + +Mathias Casimire Sarbiewski (1595-1640) vas a Polish Jesuit whose +neo-Latin Horatian odes and Biblical paraphrases gained immediate +European acclaim upon their first publication in 1625 and 1628.[1] The +fine lyric quality of Sarbiewski’s poetry, and the fact that he often +fused classical and Christian motifs, made a critic like Hugo Grotius +actually prefer the “divine Casimire” to Horace himself, and his +popularity among the English poets is evidenced by an impressive number +of translations. + +G. Hils’s _Odes of Casimire_ (1646), here reproduced by permission from +the copy in the Henry E. Huntington Library, is the earliest English +collection of translations from the verse of the Polish Horace. It is +also the most important. Acknowledged translations of individual poems +appeared in Henry Vaughan’s _Olor Iscanus_ (1651), Sir Edward +Sherburne’s _Poems and Translations_ (1651), the _Miscellany Poems and +Translations by Oxford Hands_ (1685), Isaac Watts’s _Horae Lyricae_ +(1706), Thomas Brown’s _Works_ (1707-8), and John Hughes’s _The Ecstasy. +An Ode_ (1720). Unacknowledged paraphrases from Casimire include Abraham +Cowley’s “The Extasie,”[2] John Norris’s “The Elevation,”[3] and a +number of Isaac Watts’s pious and moral odes.[4] Latin editions of +Casimire’s odes appeared in London in 1684, and in Cambridge in 1684 +and 1689. + +Another striking example of the direct influence of Casimire upon +English poetry is presented by Edward Benlowes’s _Theophila_ (1652). +This long-winded epic of the soul exhibits not only a general +indebtedness in imagery and ideas, but also direct borrowings of whole +lines from Hils’s _Odes of Casimire_. One example will have to suffice: + + Casimire, Ode IV, 44 + + _Theophila_, XIII, 68 + + Let th’ _Goth_ his strongest chaines prepare, + The _Scythians_ hence mee captive teare, + My mind being free with you, I’le stare + The Tyrants in the face.... + + Then let fierce Goths their strongest chains prepare; + Grim Scythians me their slave declare; + My soul being free, those tyrants in the face I’ll stare. + +Casimire’s greatest achievement was in the field of the philosophic +lyric, and in a number of cases he anticipated poetic techniques and +motifs which later grew popular also with the English poets. Thus, long +before Denham and Marvell, he practised the technique of investing the +scenes of nature with a moral or spiritual significance. A comparison +of Casimire’s loco-descriptive first epode on the estate of the Duke of +Bracciano with Denham’s _Cooper’s Hill_ (1642) reveals that the Polish +poet was the first to mix description with moral reflection, and to +choose the gentle hills, the calmly flowing river, and a retired country +life as symbols of the Horatian golden mean. + +Some of Casimire’s richest imagery is found in his paraphrases of +_Canticles_, and particularly in Ode IV, 21. Parts of this ode provide a +striking parallel to the famous fifth stanza of Marvell’s “The Garden.” +In it Horace and Virgil meet with Solomon, the _hortus conclusus_ of the +Hebrew poet merging with the landscape of retirement as we find it in +Virgil’s eclogues or in Horace’s second and sixteenth epodes. Much of +Casimire’s poetry, is indeed best understood as a conscious effort to +apply the allegorical technique of _Canticles_ to the classical _beatus +ille_-themes,[5] just as his thought presents an interesting combination +of Stoic and Platonic ideas. + +The Polish poet, who was a university professor and a doctor of +theology, may easily have learned from the Hermetic writers how to +combine these great classical traditions. There is direct proof of +Casimire’s familiarity with the Hermetic tradition in his Ode II, 5 +(“E Rebus Humanis Excessus”), which is a paraphrase of _Libellus I_, +sections 25 and 26.[6] Since Henry Vaughan was familiar with Casimire’s +poetry, it is reasonable to suspect that Vaughan’s own treatment of +Hermetic motifs owed much to this influence. If one compares Vaughan’s +religious nature lyrics and Casimire’s odes, a number of common poetical +motifs are easily found, and so we are here again faced with the fact +that themes which became popular in England in the mid-seventeenth +century were anticipated in the Latin odes of Casimire.[7] + +Hermetic ideas are also encountered in Casimire’s third epode, +which combines a Horatian Stoicism with a neo-Platonlc or Hermetic +interpretation of the classical landscape of retirement. An avowed reply +to Horace’s second epode, it expands the Horatian philosophy through the +addition of three new themes: the theme of solitude, the theme of the +Earthly Paradise, and the theme of Nature as a divine hieroglyph. Its +presentation of the garden ecstasy of the retired _beatus vir_ thus +strikes the same note to which we know from Mildmay Fane’s “To +Retiredness” and Andrew Marvell’s “The Garden.” In slightly adapted +form, these themes were to flourish in the poetry of the Countess +of Winchilsea, Isaac Watts, John Hughes, and a number of early +eighteenth-century nature poets. + +In the Romantic period Casimire’s fame was again revived. While still a +young man, Coleridge planned a complete translation of Casimire’s odes, +but never finished more than the ode “Ad Lyram.” It was also Coleridge +who said that with the exception of Lucretius and Statius he knew no +Latin poet, ancient or modern, who could be said to equal Casimire +in boldness of conception, opulence of fancy, or beauty of +versification.[8] A knowledge of the themes and techniques of this +Latin poet should therefore be of interest to all students of English +poetry. + + Maren-Sofie Roestvig + University of Oslo + + + + +NOTES TO THE INTRODUCTION + + +1. For a complete bibliography, see Carlos Sommervogel, Bibliothèque de +la Compagnie de Jésus (Bruxelles et Paris, 1896), VII, 627-646. + +2. In the preface to _The Ecstasy. An Ode_ (1720), John Hughes comments +on Cowley’s indebtedness, in “The Extasie,” to Casimire. + +3. Norris’s indebtedness has been pointed out by Hoxie N. Fairchild, +_Religious Trends in English Poetry_ (New York, 1939- ), I, 110, n. 21. + +4. Compare Watts’s “False Greatness,” “’Tis Dangerous to Follow the +Multitude,” and “The Kingdom of the Wise Man” to Casimire’s Ode IV, 34; +IV, 10; and IV, 3. + +5. By this term is understood the themes presented in Horace’s second +epode on the happy country life. + +6. Hermes Trismegistus, _Hermetica_, ed. Walter Scott (Oxford, 1924-36), +I, 129. + +7. No study has as yet been made of Casimire’s influence upon English +literature, but I hope shortly to publish the results of my own +investigation of this problem. + +8. Coleridge prefaced his translation of the ode “Ad Lyram” with this +remark. See also _Biographia Literaria_, ed. John Shawcross (Oxford, +1907), II, 209. For further critical estimates, see Sir John Bowring, +trans., _Specimens of the Polish Poets_ (London, 1827), and Caecilius +Metellus, pseud., “On the Life and Writings of Casimir,” _The Classical +Journal_, XXV (1822), 103-110. + + * * * * * + * * * * + + + The + ODES + of + CASIMIRE + + Translated by + _G.

SWEDENBERG, JR., _University of California, Los Angeles_ + +CORRESPONDING SECRETARY + + EDNA C. DAVIS, _Clark Memorial Library_ + + + + +INTRODUCTION + + +Mathias Casimire Sarbiewski (1595-1640) vas a Polish Jesuit whose +neo-Latin Horatian odes and Biblical paraphrases gained immediate +European acclaim upon their first publication in 1625 and 1628.[1] The +fine lyric quality of Sarbiewski's poetry, and the fact that he often +fused classical and Christian motifs, made a critic like Hugo Grotius +actually prefer the "divine Casimire" to Horace himself, and his +popularity among the English poets is evidenced by an impressive number +of translations. + +G. Hils's _Odes of Casimire_ (1646), here reproduced by permission from +the copy in the Henry E. Huntington Library, is the earliest English +collection of translations from the verse of the Polish Horace. It is +also the most important. Acknowledged translations of individual poems +appeared in Henry Vaughan's _Olor Iscanus_ (1651), Sir Edward +Sherburne's _Poems and Translations_ (1651), the _Miscellany Poems and +Translations by Oxford Hands_ (1685), Isaac Watts's _Horae Lyricae_ +(1706), Thomas Brown's _Works_ (1707-8), and John Hughes's _The Ecstasy. +An Ode_ (1720). Unacknowledged paraphrases from Casimire include Abraham +Cowley's "The Extasie,"[2] John Norris's "The Elevation,"[3] and a +number of Isaac Watts's pious and moral odes.[4] Latin editions of +Casimire's odes appeared in London in 1684, and in Cambridge in 1684 +and 1689. + +Another striking example of the direct influence of Casimire upon +English poetry is presented by Edward Benlowes's _Theophila_ (1652). +This long-winded epic of the soul exhibits not only a general +indebtedness in imagery and ideas, but also direct borrowings of whole +lines from Hils's _Odes of Casimire_. One example will have to suffice: + + Casimire, Ode IV, 44 + + _Theophila_, XIII, 68 + + Let th' _Goth_ his strongest chaines prepare, + The _Scythians_ hence mee captive teare, + My mind being free with you, I'le stare + The Tyrants in the face.... + + Then let fierce Goths their strongest chains prepare; + Grim Scythians me their slave declare; + My soul being free, those tyrants in the face I'll stare. + +Casimire's greatest achievement was in the field of the philosophic +lyric, and in a number of cases he anticipated poetic techniques and +motifs which later grew popular also with the English poets. Thus, long +before Denham and Marvell, he practised the technique of investing the +scenes of nature with a moral or spiritual significance. Acomparison +of Casimire's loco-descriptive first epode on the estate of the Duke of +Bracciano with Denham's _Cooper's Hill_ (1642) reveals that the Polish +poet was the first to mix description with moral reflection, and to +choose the gentle hills, the calmly flowing river, and a retired country +life as symbols of the Horatian golden mean. + +Some of Casimire's richest imagery is found in his paraphrases of +_Canticles_, and particularly in Ode IV, 21. Parts of this ode provide a +striking parallel to the famous fifth stanza of Marvell's "The Garden." +In it Horace and Virgil meet with Solomon, the _hortus conclusus_ of the +Hebrew poet merging with the landscape of retirement as we find it in +Virgil's eclogues or in Horace's second and sixteenth epodes. Much of +Casimire's poetry, is indeed best understood as a conscious effort to +apply the allegorical technique of _Canticles_ to the classical _beatus +ille_-themes,[5] just as his thought presents an interesting combination +of Stoic and Platonic ideas. + +The Polish poet, who was a university professor and a doctor of +theology, may easily have learned from the Hermetic writers how to +combine these great classical traditions. There is direct proof of +Casimire's familiarity with the Hermetic tradition in his Ode II,5 +("ERebus Humanis Excessus"), which is a paraphrase of _LibellusI_, +sections 25 and 26.[6] Since Henry Vaughan was familiar with Casimire's +poetry, it is reasonable to suspect that Vaughan's own treatment of +Hermetic motifs owed much to this influence. If one compares Vaughan's +religious nature lyrics and Casimire's odes, anumber of common poetical +motifs are easily found, and so we are here again faced with the fact +that themes which became popular in England in the mid-seventeenth +century were anticipated in the Latin odes of Casimire.[7] + +Hermetic ideas are also encountered in Casimire's third epode, +which combines a Horatian Stoicism with a neo-Platonlc or Hermetic +interpretation of the classical landscape of retirement. An avowed reply +to Horace's second epode, it expands the Horatian philosophy through the +addition of three new themes: the theme of solitude, the theme of the +Earthly Paradise, and the theme of Nature as a divine hieroglyph. Its +presentation of the garden ecstasy of the retired _beatus vir_ thus +strikes the same note to which we know from Mildmay Fane's "To +Retiredness" and Andrew Marvell's "The Garden." In slightly adapted +form, these themes were to flourish in the poetry of the Countess +of Winchilsea, Isaac Watts, John Hughes, and a number of early +eighteenth-century nature poets. + +In the Romantic period Casimire's fame was again revived. While still a +young man, Coleridge planned a complete translation of Casimire's odes, +but never finished more than the ode "Ad Lyram." It was also Coleridge +who said that with the exception of Lucretius and Statius he knew no +Latin poet, ancient or modern, who could be said to equal Casimire +in boldness of conception, opulence of fancy, or beauty of +versification.[8] Aknowledge of the themes and techniques of this +Latin poet should therefore be of interest to all students of English +poetry. + + Maren-Sofie Roestvig + University of Oslo + + + + +NOTES TO THE INTRODUCTION + + +1. For a complete bibliography, see Carlos Sommervogel, Bibliothque de +la Compagnie de Jsus (Bruxelles et Paris, 1896), VII, 627-646. + +2. In the preface to _The Ecstasy. An Ode_ (1720), John Hughes comments +on Cowley's indebtedness, in "The Extasie," to Casimire. + +3. Norris's indebtedness has been pointed out by Hoxie N. Fairchild, +_Religious Trends in English Poetry_ (New York, 1939-), I, 110, n.21. + +4. Compare Watts's "False Greatness," "'Tis Dangerous to Follow the +Multitude," and "The Kingdom of the Wise Man" to Casimire's Ode IV, 34; +IV, 10; and IV,3. + +5. By this term is understood the themes presented in Horace's second +epode on the happy country life. + +6. Hermes Trismegistus, _Hermetica_, ed. Walter Scott (Oxford, 1924-36), +I, 129. + +7. No study has as yet been made of Casimire's influence upon English +literature, but I hope shortly to publish the results of my own +investigation of this problem. + +8. Coleridge prefaced his translation of the ode "Ad Lyram" with this +remark. See also _Biographia Literaria_, ed. John Shawcross (Oxford, +1907), II, 209. For further critical estimates, see Sir John Bowring, +trans., _Specimens of the Polish Poets_ (London, 1827), and Caecilius +Metellus, pseud., "On the Life and Writings of Casimir," _The Classical +Journal_, XXV (1822), 103-110. + + * * * * * + * * * * + + + The + ODES + of + CASIMIRE + + Translated by + _G.

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 http://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 +http://pglaf.org/fundraising.

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 http://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 checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is 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: + + http://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. diff --git a/25055-8.zip b/25055-8.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..c24d43a --- /dev/null +++ b/25055-8.zip diff --git a/25055-h.zip b/25055-h.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..0bd0c27 --- /dev/null +++ b/25055-h.zip diff --git a/25055-h/25055-h.htm b/25055-h/25055-h.htm new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6e5aa0d --- /dev/null +++ b/25055-h/25055-h.htm @@ -0,0 +1,6101 @@ +<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> +<html> +<head> +<title>The Odes of Casimire</title> +<meta http-equiv = "Content-Type" content = "text/html;

Hils’s <i>Odes of Casimire</i> (1646), here reproduced by +permission from the copy in the Henry E. Huntington Library, is the +earliest English collection of translations from the verse of the Polish +Horace. It is also the most important. Acknowledged translations of +individual poems appeared in Henry Vaughan’s <i>Olor Iscanus</i> (1651), +Sir Edward Sherburne’s <i>Poems and Translations</i> (1651), the +<i>Miscellany Poems and Translations by Oxford Hands</i> (1685), Isaac +Watts’s <i>Horae Lyricae</i> (1706), Thomas Brown’s <i>Works</i> +(1707-8), and John Hughes’s <i>The Ecstasy. An Ode</i> (1720). +Unacknowledged paraphrases from Casimire include Abraham Cowley’s “The +Extasie,”<a class = "tag" name = "tag2" id = "tag2" href = +"#note2">2</a> John Norris’s “The Elevation,”<a class = "tag" name = +"tag3" id = "tag3" href = "#note3">3</a> and a number of Isaac Watts’s +pious and moral odes.<a class = "tag" name = "tag4" id = "tag4" href = +"#note4">4</a> Latin editions of Casimire’s odes appeared in London in +1684, and in Cambridge in 1684 and 1689.</p> + +<p>Another striking example of the direct influence of Casimire upon +English poetry is presented by Edward Benlowes’s <i>Theophila</i> +(1652). This long-winded epic of the soul exhibits not only a general +indebtedness in imagery and ideas, but also direct borrowings of whole +lines from Hils’s <i>Odes of Casimire</i>. One example will have to +suffice:</p> + +<span class = "pagenum">ii</span> + +<table class = "verse" summary = "parallel texts"> +<tr> +<td class = "center" width = "50%">Casimire, Ode IV, 44</td> +<td class = "center"><i>Theophila</i>, XIII, 68</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td> +<p class = "stanza"> +Let th’ <i>Goth</i> his strongest chaines prepare,</p> +</td> +<td> +<p class = "stanza"> +Then let fierce Goths their strongest chains prepare;</p> +</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td> +<p>The <i>Scythians</i> hence mee captive teare,</p> +</td> +<td> +<p>Grim Scythians me their slave declare;</p> +</td> +</tr> +<tr> +<td> +<p>My mind being free with you, I’le stare</p> +<p>The Tyrants in the face....</p> +</td> +<td> +<p>My soul being free, those tyrants in the face I’ll stare.</p> +</td> +</tr> +</table> + +<p>Casimire’s greatest achievement was in the field of the philosophic +lyric, and in a number of cases he anticipated poetic techniques and +motifs which later grew popular also with the English poets. Thus, long +before Denham and Marvell, he practised the technique of investing the +scenes of nature with a moral or spiritual significance. +A comparison of Casimire’s loco-descriptive first epode on the +estate of the Duke of Bracciano with Denham’s <i>Cooper’s Hill</i> +(1642) reveals that the Polish poet was the first to mix description +with moral reflection, and to choose the gentle hills, the calmly +flowing river, and a retired country life as symbols of the Horatian +golden mean.</p> + +<p>Some of Casimire’s richest imagery is found in his paraphrases of +<i>Canticles</i>, and particularly in Ode IV, 21. Parts of this ode +provide a striking parallel to the famous fifth stanza of Marvell’s “The +Garden.” In it Horace and Virgil meet with Solomon, the <i>hortus +conclusus</i> of the Hebrew poet merging with the landscape of +retirement as we find it in Virgil’s eclogues or in Horace’s second and +sixteenth epodes. Much of Casimire’s poetry, is indeed best understood +as a conscious effort to apply the allegorical technique of +<i>Canticles</i> to the classical <i>beatus ille</i>-themes,<a class = +"tag" name = "tag5" id = "tag5" href = "#note5">5</a> just as his +thought presents an interesting combination <ins class = "correction" +title = "text has ‘of / of’ at line break">of</ins> Stoic and Platonic +ideas.</p> + +<span class = "pagenum">iii</span> +<p>The Polish poet, who was a university professor and a doctor of +theology, may easily have learned from the Hermetic writers how to +combine these great classical traditions. There is direct proof of +Casimire’s familiarity with the Hermetic tradition in his Ode II, 5 +(“E Rebus Humanis Excessus”), which is a paraphrase of +<i>Libellus I</i>, sections 25 and 26.<a class = "tag" name = +"tag6" id = "tag6" href = "#note6">6</a> Since Henry Vaughan was +familiar with Casimire’s poetry, it is reasonable to suspect that +Vaughan’s own treatment of Hermetic motifs owed much to this influence. +If one compares Vaughan’s religious nature lyrics and Casimire’s odes, +a number of common poetical motifs are easily found, and so we are +here again faced with the fact that themes which became popular in +England in the mid-seventeenth century were anticipated in the Latin +odes of Casimire.<a class = "tag" name = "tag7" id = "tag7" href = +"#note7">7</a></p> + +<p>Hermetic ideas are also encountered in Casimire’s third epode, which +combines a Horatian Stoicism with a neo-Platonlc or Hermetic +interpretation of the classical landscape of retirement. An avowed reply +to Horace’s second epode, it expands the Horatian philosophy through the +addition of three new themes: the theme of solitude, the theme of the +Earthly Paradise, and the theme of Nature as a divine hieroglyph. Its +presentation of the garden ecstasy of the retired <i>beatus vir</i> thus +strikes the same note to which we know from Mildmay Fane’s “To +Retiredness” and Andrew Marvell’s “The Garden.” In slightly adapted +form, these themes were to flourish in the poetry of the Countess of +Winchilsea, Isaac Watts, John Hughes, and a number of early +eighteenth-century nature poets.</p> + +<p>In the Romantic period Casimire’s fame was again revived. While still +a young man, Coleridge planned a complete translation of Casimire’s +<span class = "pagenum">iv</span> +odes, but never finished more than the ode “Ad Lyram.” It was also +Coleridge who said that with the exception of Lucretius and Statius he +knev no Latin poet, ancient or modern, who could be said to equal +Casimire in boldness of conception, opulence of fancy, or beauty of +versification.<a class = "tag" name = "tag8" id = "tag8" href = +"#note8">8</a> A knowledge of the themes and techniques of this +Latin poet should therefore be of interest to all students of English +poetry.</p> + +<p class = "rightside"> +Maren-Sofie Roestvig<br> +University of Oslo</p> + +<hr class = "spacer"> + +<span class = "pagenum">v</span> +<h5>NOTES TO THE INTRODUCTION</h5> + +<div class = "footnote"> +<p><a name = "note1" id = "note1" href = "#tag1">1.</a> +For a complete bibliography, see Carlos Sommervogel, Bibliothèque de la +Compagnie de Jésus (Bruxelles et Paris, 1896), VII, 627-646.</p> + +<p><a name = "note2" id = "note2" href = "#tag2">2.</a> +In the preface to <i>The Ecstasy.

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 http://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 +http://pglaf.org/fundraising.

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 http://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 checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S.

DAVIS, _Clark Memorial Library_ + + + + +INTRODUCTION + + +Mathias Casimire Sarbiewski (1595-1640) vas a Polish Jesuit whose +neo-Latin Horatian odes and Biblical paraphrases gained immediate +European acclaim upon their first publication in 1625 and 1628.[1] The +fine lyric quality of Sarbiewski's poetry, and the fact that he often +fused classical and Christian motifs, made a critic like Hugo Grotius +actually prefer the "divine Casimire" to Horace himself, and his +popularity among the English poets is evidenced by an impressive number +of translations. + +G. Hils's _Odes of Casimire_ (1646), here reproduced by permission from +the copy in the Henry E. Huntington Library, is the earliest English +collection of translations from the verse of the Polish Horace. It is +also the most important. Acknowledged translations of individual poems +appeared in Henry Vaughan's _Olor Iscanus_ (1651), Sir Edward +Sherburne's _Poems and Translations_ (1651), the _Miscellany Poems and +Translations by Oxford Hands_ (1685), Isaac Watts's _Horae Lyricae_ +(1706), Thomas Brown's _Works_ (1707-8), and John Hughes's _The Ecstasy. +An Ode_ (1720). Unacknowledged paraphrases from Casimire include Abraham +Cowley's "The Extasie,"[2] John Norris's "The Elevation,"[3] and a +number of Isaac Watts's pious and moral odes.[4] Latin editions of +Casimire's odes appeared in London in 1684, and in Cambridge in 1684 +and 1689. + +Another striking example of the direct influence of Casimire upon +English poetry is presented by Edward Benlowes's _Theophila_ (1652). +This long-winded epic of the soul exhibits not only a general +indebtedness in imagery and ideas, but also direct borrowings of whole +lines from Hils's _Odes of Casimire_. One example will have to suffice: + + Casimire, Ode IV, 44 + + _Theophila_, XIII, 68 + + Let th' _Goth_ his strongest chaines prepare, + The _Scythians_ hence mee captive teare, + My mind being free with you, I'le stare + The Tyrants in the face.... + + Then let fierce Goths their strongest chains prepare; + Grim Scythians me their slave declare; + My soul being free, those tyrants in the face I'll stare. + +Casimire's greatest achievement was in the field of the philosophic +lyric, and in a number of cases he anticipated poetic techniques and +motifs which later grew popular also with the English poets. Thus, long +before Denham and Marvell, he practised the technique of investing the +scenes of nature with a moral or spiritual significance. A comparison +of Casimire's loco-descriptive first epode on the estate of the Duke of +Bracciano with Denham's _Cooper's Hill_ (1642) reveals that the Polish +poet was the first to mix description with moral reflection, and to +choose the gentle hills, the calmly flowing river, and a retired country +life as symbols of the Horatian golden mean. + +Some of Casimire's richest imagery is found in his paraphrases of +_Canticles_, and particularly in Ode IV, 21. Parts of this ode provide a +striking parallel to the famous fifth stanza of Marvell's "The Garden." +In it Horace and Virgil meet with Solomon, the _hortus conclusus_ of the +Hebrew poet merging with the landscape of retirement as we find it in +Virgil's eclogues or in Horace's second and sixteenth epodes. Much of +Casimire's poetry, is indeed best understood as a conscious effort to +apply the allegorical technique of _Canticles_ to the classical _beatus +ille_-themes,[5] just as his thought presents an interesting combination +of Stoic and Platonic ideas. + +The Polish poet, who was a university professor and a doctor of +theology, may easily have learned from the Hermetic writers how to +combine these great classical traditions. There is direct proof of +Casimire's familiarity with the Hermetic tradition in his Ode II, 5 +("E Rebus Humanis Excessus"), which is a paraphrase of _Libellus I_, +sections 25 and 26.[6] Since Henry Vaughan was familiar with Casimire's +poetry, it is reasonable to suspect that Vaughan's own treatment of +Hermetic motifs owed much to this influence. If one compares Vaughan's +religious nature lyrics and Casimire's odes, a number of common poetical +motifs are easily found, and so we are here again faced with the fact +that themes which became popular in England in the mid-seventeenth +century were anticipated in the Latin odes of Casimire.[7] + +Hermetic ideas are also encountered in Casimire's third epode, +which combines a Horatian Stoicism with a neo-Platonlc or Hermetic +interpretation of the classical landscape of retirement. An avowed reply +to Horace's second epode, it expands the Horatian philosophy through the +addition of three new themes: the theme of solitude, the theme of the +Earthly Paradise, and the theme of Nature as a divine hieroglyph. Its +presentation of the garden ecstasy of the retired _beatus vir_ thus +strikes the same note to which we know from Mildmay Fane's "To +Retiredness" and Andrew Marvell's "The Garden." In slightly adapted +form, these themes were to flourish in the poetry of the Countess +of Winchilsea, Isaac Watts, John Hughes, and a number of early +eighteenth-century nature poets. + +In the Romantic period Casimire's fame was again revived. While still a +young man, Coleridge planned a complete translation of Casimire's odes, +but never finished more than the ode "Ad Lyram." It was also Coleridge +who said that with the exception of Lucretius and Statius he knew no +Latin poet, ancient or modern, who could be said to equal Casimire +in boldness of conception, opulence of fancy, or beauty of +versification.[8] A knowledge of the themes and techniques of this +Latin poet should therefore be of interest to all students of English +poetry. + + Maren-Sofie Roestvig + University of Oslo + + + + +NOTES TO THE INTRODUCTION + + +1. For a complete bibliography, see Carlos Sommervogel, Bibliotheque de +la Compagnie de Jesus (Bruxelles et Paris, 1896), VII, 627-646. + +2. In the preface to _The Ecstasy. An Ode_ (1720), John Hughes comments +on Cowley's indebtedness, in "The Extasie," to Casimire. + +3. Norris's indebtedness has been pointed out by Hoxie N. Fairchild, +_Religious Trends in English Poetry_ (New York, 1939- ), I, 110, n. 21. + +4. Compare Watts's "False Greatness," "'Tis Dangerous to Follow the +Multitude," and "The Kingdom of the Wise Man" to Casimire's Ode IV, 34; +IV, 10; and IV, 3. + +5. By this term is understood the themes presented in Horace's second +epode on the happy country life. + +6. Hermes Trismegistus, _Hermetica_, ed. Walter Scott (Oxford, 1924-36), +I, 129. + +7. No study has as yet been made of Casimire's influence upon English +literature, but I hope shortly to publish the results of my own +investigation of this problem. + +8. Coleridge prefaced his translation of the ode "Ad Lyram" with this +remark. See also _Biographia Literaria_, ed. John Shawcross (Oxford, +1907), II, 209. For further critical estimates, see Sir John Bowring, +trans., _Specimens of the Polish Poets_ (London, 1827), and Caecilius +Metellus, pseud., "On the Life and Writings of Casimir," _The Classical +Journal_, XXV (1822), 103-110. + + * * * * * + * * * * + + + The + ODES + of + CASIMIRE + + Translated by + _G.

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 http://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 http://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 checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5.
