+
+THE SONG OF DEIRDRA
+
+
+Farewell, grey Albyn, much loved land,
+ I ne'er shall see thy hills again;
+Upon those hills I oft would stand
+ And view the chase sweep o'er the plain.
+
+'Twas pleasant from their tops I ween
+ To see the stag that bounding ran;
+And all the rout of hunters keen,
+ The sons of Usna in the van.
+
+The chiefs of Albyn feasted high,
+ Amidst them Usna's children shone;
+And Nasa kissed in secrecy
+ The daughter fair of high Dundron.
+
+To her a milk-white doe he sent,
+ With little fawn that frisked and played
+And once to visit her he went,
+ As home from Inverness he strayed.
+
+The news was scarcely brought to me
+ When jealous rage inflamed my mind;
+I took my boat and rushed to sea,
+ For death, for speedy death, inclined.
+
+But swiftly swimming at my stern
+ Came Ainlie bold and Ardan tall;
+Those faithful striplings made me turn
+ And brought me back to Nasa's hall.
+
+Then thrice he swore upon his arms,
+ His burnished arms, the foeman's bane,
+That he would never wake alarms
+ In this fond breast of mine again.
+
+Dundron's fair daughter also swore,
+ And called to witness earth and sky,
+That since his love for her was o'er
+ A maiden she would live and die.
+
+Ah did she know that slain in fight,
+ He wets with gore the Irish hill,
+How great would be her moan this night,
+ But greater far would mine be still.
+
+
+
+
+THE DIVER
+A BALLAD TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN
+
+
+"Where is the man who will dive for his King,
+In the pool as it rushes with turbulent sweep?
+A cup from this surf-beaten jetty I fling,
+And he who will seek it below in the deep,
+And will bring it again to the light of the day,
+As the meed of his valour shall bear it away.
+
+"Now courage, my knights, and my warriors bold,
+For, one, two, and three, and away it shall go--"
+He toss'd, as he said it, the goblet of gold
+Deep, deep in the howling abysses below.--
+"Where is the hero who ventures to brave
+The whirl of the pool, and the break of the wave?"
+
+The steel-coated lancemen, and nobles around,
+Spoke not, but they trembled in silent surprise,
+And pale they all stood on the cliff's giddy bound,
+And no one would venture to dive for the prize.
+"Three times have I spoke, but no hero will spring
+And dive for the goblet, and dive for the King."
+
+But still they were silent and pale as before,
+Till a brave son of Eirin, in venturous pride,
+Dash'd forth from the lancemen's trembling corps
+And canted his helm, cast his mantle aside,
+While spearman, and noble, and lady, and knight,
+Gazed on the bold stripling in breathless affright.
+
+Unmoved by the thoughts of his horrible doom,
+He mounted the cliff--and he paus'd on his leap,
+For the waves which the pool had imbibed in its womb
+Were spouted in thunder again from the deep,--
+Yes! as they return'd, their report was as loud
+As the peal when it bursts from the storm-riven cloud.
+
+It roared, and it drizzled, it hiss'd and it whirl'd,
+And it bubbled like water when mingled with flame,
+And columns of foam to the heaven were hurl'd,
+And billow on billow tumultuously came;
+It seem'd that the womb of the ocean would bear
+Sea over sea to the uppermost air.
+
+It thundered again as the wave gathered slow,
+And black from the drizzling foam as it fell,
+The mouth of the fathomless tunnel below
+Was seen like the pass to the regions of hell;
+The waters roll round it, and gather and boom,
+And then all at once disappear in the gloom.
+
+And now ere the waves had returned from the deep,
+The youth wiped the sweat-drops which hung on his brows,
+And he plunged--and the cataracts over him sweep,
+And a shout from his terrified comrades arose;
+And then there succeeded a horrible pause
+For the whirlpool had clos'd its mysterious jaws.
+
+And stiller it grew on the watery waste,
+In the womb of the ocean it bellow'd alone,
+The knights said their Aves in terrified haste,
+And crowded each pinnacle, jetty, and stone:
+"The high-hearted stripling is whelm'd in the tide,
+Ah! wail him," was echoed from every side.
+
+"If the monarch had buried his crown in the pool
+And said: 'He shall wear it who brings it again,'
+I would not have been so insensate a fool
+As to dive when all hope of returning were vain;
+What heaven conceals in the gulfs of the deep,
+Lies buried for ever, and there it must sleep."
+
+Full many a burden the whirlpool had borne,
+And spouted it forth on the drizzling surge,
+But nought but a mast that was splinter'd and torn,
+Or the hull of a vessel was seen to emerge;
+But wider and wider it opens its jaws,
+And louder it gurgles, and louder it draws.
+
+It drizzled, it thunder'd, it hiss'd and it whirl'd,
+And it bubbled like water when mingled with flame,
+And columns of foam to the heaven were hurl'd,
+And flood upon flood from the deep tunnel came;
+And then with a noise like the storm from the North,
+The hellish eruption was vomited forth.
+
+But, ah! what is that on the wave's foamy brim,
+Disgorged with an ocean of wreck and of wood?
+'Tis the snow-white arm and the shoulder of him
+Who daringly dived for the glittering meed:
+'Tis he, 'tis the stripling so hardy and bold,
+Who swings in his left hand the goblet of gold.
+
+He draws a long breath as the breaker he leaves,
+Then swims through the water with many a strain,
+While all his companions exultingly heave
+Their voices above the wild din of the main:
+"'Tis he, O! 'tis he, from the horrible hole
+The brave one has rescued his body and soul."
+
+He reach'd the tall jetty, and kneeling he laid
+The massy gold goblet in triumph and pride
+At the foot of the monarch, who instantly made
+A sign to his daughter who stood by his side:
+She fill'd it with wine, and the youth with a spring
+Received it, and quaff'd it, and turn'd to the King.
+
+"Long life to the monarch! how happy are they
+Who breathe and exist in the sun's rosy light,
+But he who is doom'd in the ocean to stray,
+Views nothing around him but horror and night;
+Let no one henceforward be tempted like me
+To pry in the secrets contain'd in the sea.
+
+"I felt myself seized, with the quickness of thought
+The whirlpool entomb'd me in body and limb,
+And billow on billow tumultuously brought
+It's cataracts o'er me; in vain did I swim,
+For like a mere pebble with horrible sound
+The force of the double stream twisted me round.
+
+"But God in his mercy, for to him alone
+In the moment of danger I ever have clung,
+Did bear me towards a projection of stone:
+I seized it in transport, and round it I hung,
+The goblet lay too on a corally ledge,
+Which jutted just over the cataract's edge.
+
+"And then I look'd downward, and horribly deep,
+And twinkling sheen in the darkness below,
+And though to the hearing it ever might sleep,
+Yet still the eye clouded with terror might know,
+That serpents and creatures that made my blood cool,
+Were swimming and splashing about in the pool.
+
+"Ball'd up to a mass, in a moment uncoil'd,
+They rose, and again disappear'd in the dark,
+And down in the billows which over them boil'd
+I saw a behemoth contend with a shark;
+The sounds of their hideous duel awaken
+The black-bellied whale, and the slumbering craken.
+
+"Still, still did I linger forlorn, and oppress'd
+With a feeling of terror that curdled my blood;
+Ah think of a human and sensible breast
+Enclosed with the hideous shapes of the flood;
+Still, still did I linger, but far from the reach
+Of those that I knew would await on the beach.
+
+"Methought that a serpent towards me did creep,
+And trailing behind him whole fathoms of length,
+He open'd his jaws; and I dropp'd from the steep
+Round which I had clung with expiring strength:
+'Twas well that I did so, the stream bore me up,
+And here is thy servant, and there is the cup."
+
+He then was retiring, a look from the King
+Detain'd him: "My hero, the cup is thine own,
+'Tis richly thy meed, but I'll give thee this ring,
+Beset with a diamond and chrysolite stone,
+If again thou wilt dive, and discover to me
+What's hid in the deepest abyss of the sea."
+
+The daughter heard that with compassionate thought,
+Quick, quick to the feet of the monarch she flew:
+"O father, desist from this horrible sport,
+He has done what no other would venture to do,
+If the life of a creature thou fain must destroy,
+Let a noble take place of this generous boy."
+
+The monarch has taken the cup in his hand,
+And tumbled it down in the bellowing sea:
+"And if thou canst bring it again to the strand,
+The first, and the best of my knights thou shalt be;
+If that will not tempt thee, this maid thou shalt wed,
+And share as a husband the joys of her bed."
+
+Then the pride of old Eirin arose in his look,
+And it flash'd from his eye-balls courageously keen,
+One glance on the beautiful vision he took,
+And he saw her change colour, and sink on the green.
+"By the stool of Saint Peter the prize I'll obtain;"
+He shouted, and instantly dived in the main.
+
+The waters sunk down, and a thundering peal
+Announced that the time of their sojourn was o'er;
+Each eye is cast downward in terrified zeal,
+As forth from the tunnel the cataracts pour.
+The waters rush up, and the waters subside;
+But ah! the bold diver remains in the tide.
+
+
+
+
+KING BYRGE AND HIS BROTHERS
+
+
+Dame Ingeborg three brave brothers could boast,
+For the crown of Sweden their lives they lost.
+
+The nobles to Sweden would fain away,
+Dame Ingeborg bade them at home to stay.
+
+Dame Ingeborg stood at Helsingborg's gate,
+"Dear brothers, go not, I beg and entreat!"
+
+Then with one voice the brothers cried:
+"We've long for our realms paternal sighed.
+
+"And we have too long with thee remained,
+Our hearts within us are sorely pained."
+
+"Five days with me, dear brothers, wait,
+Whilst I my dreadful dream relate.
+
+"Methought that your mantles were of lead,
+With them, dear brothers, ye were arrayed.
+
+"They were fast tied about your throats,
+And treachery towards ye that denotes."
+
+To Dame Ingeborg's rede no ear they lent,
+But to Sweden that very same day they went.
+
+And when they had won to the sand beach white,
+There met them Brouk, that faithless knight.
+
+"Ye brothers both, thrice welcome be,
+Ye'll come and drink Yule with His Majesty?"
+
+The nobles repair to Nykoping street,
+There they a deceitful counsel meet.
+
+"Now off your bodies your armour lay,
+And hie to the castle in court dress gay."
+
+In at the doorway the nobles stepped,
+Up to receive them the monarch leapt.
+
+"My dear brothers both, thrice welcome be,
+Will ye drink Yule with our Majesty?"
+
+With his brothers down sate King Byrge to food,
+Much serious discourse betwixt them ensued.
+
+"Now welcome, my brothers, thrice welcome I say,
+May I not alone the country sway?"
+
+"May God to our brother grant happiness,
+But he cannot alone the land to possess."
+
+The nobles they ate and they drank for a trice,
+Brouk has discovered another device:
+
+"What will ye now do, ye worshipful knights,
+Have drinking and dancing for ye delights?"
+
+Then they danced out and danced in with glee,
+And Brouk the clear wine poured so free.
+
+On the floor stood the nobles and 'gan to sing,
+Whilst Brouk proceeded to plot with the King.
+
+Then unto his brother Duke Valdemar said:
+"O Erik, we drink too much wine, I'm afraid.
+
+"Be we on our guard 'gainst Brouk's pleasantries,
+He knoweth all manner of villanies."
+
+Duke Erik held up his good right hand:
+"Shall we fear aught in our fatherland?
+
+"We are come with a safety assurance fair,
+And of no quarrel are we aware."
+
+They drank and they danced till the day had ta'en flight,
+Then illumined was torch and big wax light.
+
+To hie now to bed the nobles desired,
+And repose on the bolsters their bodies tired.
+
+Then in to the prison tower they were led,
+The King himself went in his cloak of red.
+
+They thought that in jest the thing was done,
+'Till he slammed the doors to every one.
+
+Manlike fought Erik and scorned to yield,
+As long as he'd sword or a post to wield.
+
+Broke sword! broke post! they no more could defend!
+Into prison they naked were forced to wend.
+
+The noble brothers suffered sore,
+From frost and from cold and from hunger much more.
+
+"We'll give thee, Brouk, the gold so red,
+If thou'lt give us but water and bread."
+
+"Ye shall not obtain in Sweden here,
+Or bread or water your hearts to cheer."
+
+"Our dear brother's wife we are confident,
+To let us be starved will ne'er consent.
+
+"We know the Queen has a pitying breast,
+She will straw send us whereon to rest.
+
+"The hunger within us is sharp and strong,
+Our hearts must certainly burst ere long."
+
+Then Brouk at that word so wrathful grew,
+The keys he into the salt fiord threw.
+
+Twas dismal to hear how with hunger they roared,
+Each others shoulders they devoured.
+
+And there is yet more woe to relate,
+The flesh from the sides of each other they ate.
+
+Much misery and woe there was that tide,
+In each other's arms the brothers died.
+
+And thus things stood till five months were fled,
+King Byrge came home from the war-field red.
+
+"Now whither departed are brothers mine?
+Why didst thou not give them their fill of wine?"
+
+Then answered straight the little child:
+"Brouk into the tower the nobles beguiled."
+
+King Byrge peeped in the window through,
+The state of the brothers was piteous to view.
+
+"Now hear thou, Brouk, straight to me declare,
+Where the prison keys are I gave to thy care?"
+
+"May the blessed Christ my soul ne'er save,
+If I cast them not in the briny wave."
+
+"O Brouk, shame fall thy head upon,
+So evilly towards me thou has done.
+
+"Thou fool and villain! I've lost thereby
+The keys to Sweden's sovereignty."
+
+"If I have betrayed thy brothers twain,
+Thou mayest alone over Sweden reign."
+
+That deed such grief to the Dukes' friends gave,
+And that grief they carried to the grave.
+
+With his Queen King Byrge must fly from his throne,
+Beheaded was Magnus, his beautiful son.
+
+But Brouk to the infamous wheel was consigned,
+May all such traitors a like end find!
+
+When sovereigns many there are to a land,
+You'll never see them go hand in hand.
+
+The one 'fore the other must certainly fall,
+Not seldom destruction comes o'er them all.
+
+Though fraud and deceit for a time have success,
+At length on their owner they'll bring distress.
+
+
+
+
+TURKISH HYMN TO MAHOMET
+
+
+O envoy of Allah, to thee be salaam,
+With my whole heart I love thee, O blest be thy name.
+At the high throne of God thou for sinners dost plead
+Who forgives for thy sake each iniquitous deed.
+O Prophet of Allah, for all that I've done
+Of rebellion against Him, tis thou must atone.
+For Thou art the one intercessor, Thou, Thou--
+The prince of the prophets to whom the rest bow.
+In the world's Judgment Day when all nations are met,
+When good deeds and bad in the balance are set,
+Intercession I hope for, from Thee, only Thee,
+So breathe intercession for me, wretched me.
+'Tis true my misdeeds I'm unable to count,
+But I know that thy goodness exceeds their amount.
+Like one who's defunct I a long time have been,
+My body is drowned in an ocean of sin.
+My rebellions they be of so dreadful a die
+That to wend to my Maker no courage have I.
+Now save I in dust at thy feet myself throw,
+And thy footstool I strike with my agonis'd brow;
+And save thou for me dost benignantly speak,
+What for me will remain but despairing to shriek?
+For unless I thy kind intercession procure,
+My soul with the Kaffirs will torments endure.
+But I trust thou wilt that for thy servant employ'
+And that rest I shall gain, and unspeakable joy.
+Unto thee without end shall be praises and prayers,
+And also to them, thy disciples and heirs,
+The voyagers noble who trod the true road,
+And to others the path of salvation who show'd,
+The four eldest friends of exalted degree
+Who of our religion the four pillars be.
+First of all the good King of the Kingdom of Grace,
+The just Abon Bekir with truth in his face;
+The next the stout lion so bravely who warr'd,
+The Lyon of the Mussulman, Omar my Lord.
+The third a high Emir, renowned midst our clan,
+The child of the moment, the Emir Othman.
+The fourth of the pillars, my Lord Ali dear,
+Inspector acute of the dark and the clear.
+Then the light of our eyes, the delectable twain,
+The Lovely Prince Hassan, the Emir Hoseyn.
+Nor unnoticed by men shall be suffered to pass
+Those excellent uncles, Hanozah and Abbess.
+Unto each of that band be a thousand salaams,
+An bless'd through all ages be each of their names.

+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 are 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.

+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://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate
+
+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:

+
+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.
