JULIAN'S PRAYER + + + TO charms and philters, secret spells and prayers, + How many round attribute all their cares! + In these howe'er I never can believe, + And laugh at follies that so much deceive. + Yet with the beauteous FAIR, 'tis very true, + These WORDS, as SACRED VIRTUES, oft they view; + The spell and philter wonders work in love + Hearts melt with charms supposed from pow'rs above! + + MY aim is now to have recourse to these, + And give a story that I trust will please, + In which Saint Julian's prayer, to Reynold D'Ast, + Produced a benefit, good fortune classed. + Had he neglected to repeat the charm, + Believed so thoroughly to guard from harm, + He would have found his cash accounts not right, + And passed assuredly a wretched night. + + ONE day, to William's castle as he moved. + Three men, whose looks he very much approved, + And thought such honest fellows he had round, + Their like could nowhere be discovered round; + Without suspecting any thing was wrong, + The three, with complaisance and fluent tongue, + Saluted him in humble servile style, + And asked, (the minutes better to beguile,) + If they might bear him company the way; + The honour would be great, and no delay; + Besides, in travelling 'tis safer found, + And far more pleasant, when the party's round; + So many robbers through the province range, + (Continued they) 'tis wonderfully strange, + The prince should not these villains more restrain; + But there:--bad MEN will somewhere still remain. + + TO their proposal Reynold soon agreed, + And they resolved together to proceed. + When 'bout a league the travellers had moved, + Discussing freely, as they all approved, + The conversation turned on spells and prayer, + Their pow'r o'er worms of earth, or birds of air; + To charm the wolf, or guard from thunder's roar, + And many wonderful achievements more; + Besides the cures a prayer would oft produce; + To man and beast it proves of sov'reign use, + Far greater than from doctors e'er you'll view, + Who, with their Latin, make so much ado. + + IN turn, the three pretended knowledge great, + And mystick facts affected to relate, + While Reynold silently attention paid + To all the words the honest fellows said:-- + Possess you not, said one, some secret prayer + To bring you aid, when dangers round you stare? + To this our Reynold seriously replied, + Myself, on secret spells, I do not pride; + But still some WORDS I have that I repeat, + Each morn I travel, that I may not meet + A horrid lodging where I stop at night; + 'Tis called SAINT JULIAN'S PRAYER that I recite, + And truly I have found, that when I fail + To say this prayer, I've reason to bewail. + But rarely I neglect so good a thing, + That ills averts, and may such blessings bring. + And have you clearly said it, sir, to day? + Cried one of those he met upon his way. + Yes, Reynold answered. Well, replied the Wight; + I'll wage, I'm better lodged than you to-night. + + 'TWAS very cold, and darkness 'gan to peep; + The place was distant yet, where they might sleep. + Perhaps, said Reynold, 'tis your usual care, + In travelling, to say, like me, this prayer. + Not so, the other cried, to you I vow, + Invoking saints is not my practice now; + But should I lose, thenceforth I'll them address.-- + Said Reynold, readily I acquiesce; + My life I'd venture, should you to an inn, + For, in the town, I've neither friend nor kin, + And, if you like, we'll this exception make. + The other answered: Well, the bet I'll take; + Your horse and coat against my purse you wage, + And, sure of gaining, readily engage. + Our Wight might then have thoroughly perceived, + His horse was lost--no chance to be relieved. + + BESIDE a wood, as on the party moved, + The one, who betting had so much approved, + Now changed his tone, and in a surly way, + Exclaimed:--Alight--you'll find it time to pray; + Let me apprize you, distant is the place, + And much you'll need Saint Julian's special grace. + Come off, I tell you:--instantly they took + His purse, horse, clothes, and all their hands could hook + E'en seized his boots, and said with subtle sneer, + Your feet, by walking, won't the worse appear; + Then sought a diff'rent road by rapid flight, + And, presently the knaves were out of sight; + While Reynold still with stockings, drawers, and shirt, + But wet to skin, and covered o'er with dirt: + (The wind north-east in front--as cold as clay;) + In doleful dumps proceeded on his way, + And justly feared, that spite of faith and prayer, + He now should meet, at night, with wretched fare. + + HOWEVER, some pleasing hopes he still had yet, + That, from his cloak-bag, he some clothes might get; + For, we should note, a servant he had brought, + Who in the neighbourhood a farrier sought. + To set a shoe upon his horse, and then + Should join his master on the road agen; + But that, as we shall find, was not the case, + And Reynold's dire misfortune thence we trace. + In fact, the fellow, worthless we'll suppose, + Had viewed from far what accidents arose, + Then turned aside, his safety to secure, + And left his master dangers to endure; + So steadily be kept upon the trot, + To Castle-William, ere 'twas night, he got, + And took the inn which had the most renown; + For fare and furniture within the town, + There waited Reynold's coming at his ease, + With fire and cheer that could not fail to please. + His master, up to neck in dirt and wet, + Had num'rous difficulties o'er to get; + And when the snow, in flakes obscured the air, + With piercing cold and winds, he felt despair; + Such ills he bore, that hanging might be thought + A bed of roses rather to be sought. + CHANCE so arranges ev'ry thing around + ALL good, or ALL that's bad is solely found; + When favours flow the numbers are so great, + That ev'ry wish upon us seems to wait; + But, if disposed, misfortunes to bestow; + No ills forgot: each poignant pang we know. + In proof, attend my friends, this very night, + The sad adventures that befell our wight, + Who, Castle-William did not reach till late, + When they, an hour or more, had shut the gate. + + AT length our traveller approached the wall, + And, somehow to the foot contrived to crawl; + A roofed projection fortune led him near, + That joined a house, and 'gan his heart to cheer. + Delighted with the change he now had got, + He placed himself upon the sheltered spot; + A lucky hit but seldom comes alone; + Some straw, by chance, was near the mansion thrown, + Which Reynold 'neath the jutting penthouse placed + There, God be praised, cried he, a bed I've traced. + + MEANWHILE, the storm from ev'ry quarter pressed; + Our traveller was soon to death distressed; + With cold benumbed; by fell despair o'erspread; + He trembled, groaned:--teeth chattered in his head; + So loud his plaints, at length they reached the ear + Of one who dwelled within the mansion near: + A servant girl; her mistress brisk and gay: + A youthful widow, charming as the day; + The governor she privately received: + A noble marquis, who her cares relieved. + Oft interrupted when he sought the fair, + And wished at ease her company to share; + Desirous too of passing quite unknown, + A private door he presently was shown, + That opened to the fields, and gave access: + Through this he visited with such address, + That none within the town his commerce viewed, + Nor e'en a servant's eye his course pursued. + Surprise I feel, since pleasures of the mind, + Apparently were not for lords designed; + More pleased they seem when made the talk around + And soft amours divulged, delights are found. + + IT happened that the night our Job arrived, + And, stretched on straw, misfortune just survived, + The lady thought her fond gallant to see, + And ev'ry moment hoped with him to be. + The supper ready, and the room prepared, + Each rarity was served: no trouble spared; + Baths, perfumes, wines, most exquisite, in place, + And ev'ry thing around displaying grace, + With Cupid's whole artillery in view, + Not his, who would with sighs alone pursue, + But that kind god who always favour shows, + The source of happiness, whence pleasure flows. + + MEANWHILE, however, while thus the lady sought. + By ev'ry charm to please, a note was brought; + A page conveyed it, by the marquis sent, + To say his coming business would prevent. + The disappointment doubtless was severe, + But consolation certainly was near; + It proved to Reynold wonderfully kind, + For scarcely had our traveller resigned, + And groaned aloud, but, tender as her dame, + In haste the confidential servant came, + And to the widow said:--I hear below + Some poor unfortunate o'ercome with woe; + 'Tis piercing cold, and he perhaps will die + Some place, pray grant, where he to-night may lie. + + MOST readily, replied the courteous fair, + We never use the garret:--lodge him there; + Some straw upon a couch will make a bed, + On which the wand'rer may repose his head; + Shut well the door, but first provide some meat, + And then permit him thither to retreat. + + WITHOUT this timely help 'twas clear our wight + Had ne'er survived the horrors of the night; + The door was ope'd, and Reynold blessed the hand + That gave relief, and stopt life's ebbing sand. + His tale he told; got spirits, strength, and ease; + In person tall, well made, and formed to please, + He looked not like a novice in amour, + Though young, and seeking shelter at a door. + His want of dress and miserable state + Raised shame indeed, and showed distress was great. + Though LOVE be seen in Nature's pure array, + No dirt appears, however you survey. + + THIS servant girl now hastened to the fair, + And ev'ry circumstance detailed with care. + See, said the lady, if within the press + There be not clothes to furnish him a dress; + My husband, now no more, must some have left; + Yes, said the girl, you're not of them bereft, + I recollect his wardrobe did abound; + And presently a handsome suit she found. + + MEANWHILE the lady having learned the name + Of Reynold D'Ast, his quality and fame, + (Himself it seems particulars detailed, + While all around his suff'rings keen bewailed,) + Her orders gave, the bath for her prepared + Should now receive the man her care had spared. + Unasked, the stranger this attention got, + And well perfumed ere clothes they would allot. + When dressed, he waited on the widow fair, + And paid his compliments with graceful air. + + THE supper (for the marquis first designed) + At length was served with taste the most refined. + Our trav'ller glad, an appetite displayed; + The lady carefully her guest surveyed, + And anxious seemed to gratify his wish, + By helping what appeared his favourite dish. + Already, perhaps, she felt a Cupid's dart, + And in her throbbing bosom knew the smart; + Or sympathy, or pity for his woes, + Might touch the spring whence softest passion flows. + On ev'ry side assailed the youthful dame + Herself surrendered unto Cupid's flame. + Should I give way, said she, who'll tell the tale? + No risk is run if secrecy prevail. + The marquis merits to be played the trick; + He no excuse can have, unless he's sick. + One sin against another I may weigh, + And man for man will equally repay. + + SO inexperienced Reynold was not found, + But that he saw how things were going round, + And, that Saint Julian's Prayer would yet succeed, + To give him all the lodging he might need. + + THE supper o'er, our couple left alone, + What fairer field could truly have been shown? + The belle now wore a smart becoming dress, + Designed, in ev'ry view, to prepossess. + 'Twas NEGLIGENCE, so requisite to please + And fascinate, with airy, careless ease, + According to the taste which I pursue, + That made her charms so exquisite to view. + No gaudy tinsel: all was flowing light; + Though not superb, yet pleasing to the sight; + A neckerchief, where much should be concealed, + Was made so narrow,--beauties half revealed; + Beneath is shade--what words can ne'er express; + And Reynold saw enough the rest to guess. + No more I say; the belle indeed was fair, + Possessed of youth and all engaging air; + Tall, nicely formed; each grace, that hearts could win; + Not much of fat, nor yet appeared too thin. + Emotion, at the view, who would not feel? + To soft delight what bosom proves of steel? + No marble bust, philosopher, nor stone, + But similar sensation would have shown. + + THE silence first was broken by the dame; + Who spoke so freely, Reynold bolder came. + He knew not well, howe'er, discourse to find; + To help him out the widow was inclined; + Said she, you much remind me of a friend, + Whose ev'ry wish I sought with mine to blend + My husband (rest his soul!) had just those eyes, + That look, air, mouth:--the very height and size: + You greatly honour me, the spark replied: + Your charms howe'er might well have been his pride; + I ne'er beheld such soft engaging mien: + On earth, like beauty never yet was seen. + But, in extremes to be, appears my lot; + Just now I felt quite chilled:--at present hot; + Pray tell me which is best? The fair looked down, + And humbly seemed to wave the proffered crown, + That she might still more flattery receive + Address not small, if we'll our eyes believe. + The swain now praised each charm within his view, + And whatsoe'er his wishes could pursue; + Where hope was strong, and expectation high, + She would not long be cruel and deny. + To give the praise, your due, the lover cried, + And note the beauties that my heart divide, + 'Twould take an age, and I've a single night, + Which surely might be passed with more delight. + The widow smiled; enough it seems was said; + And Reynold shortened--what to nothing led. + In war or love, time equally is dear; + More happy than our spark none could appear; + No point but what he gained; the smiling dame + Resistance only showed to raise the flame; + Nor more nor less; each belle like art has got, + And practises at will, or maid or not. + + BUT truly, it was never my intent + To count each favour she to Reynold lent; + Particulars exact of ev'ry kiss, + And all the preludes incident to bliss; + Both, doubtless, knew more ways than one to please; + And sought, with anxious care, love's charms to seize. + On recollection of the wretched state + In which our traveller had moved of late, + Some favour was bestowed:--there, cried the dame, + Is something to repay the road you came; + This for the cold; that fear; there thieves disgraced; + So, one by one, the whole was soon effaced. + In this way to be paid for ills we meet, + Who'd not be satisfied with boons so sweet? + And we conclude, that Reynold on the spot, + Love's am'rous recompense of pleasures got. + Now easy conversation was renewed; + Then mutual kisses; ev'ry sweet pursued. + 'Twas time for bed; howe'er, the widow fair + Determined that her own the spark should share; + 'Twas prudent, doubtless; like a lady wise; + Gallantly done: one room would well suffice. + + WHAT further passed betwixt the pair that night; + I cannot say, though we'll believe 'twas right; + Between the clothes when laid, and unrestrained, + Most clearly, Reynold all his wishes gained. + There he was recompensed for ev'ry grief; + The lady too, received so much relief, + That she desired his company again, + But still these visits secrets should remain; + 'Twas requisite the governor to see; + Howe'er the dame delighted seemed to be, + And not content with what she had bestowed, + A purse well stored with gold to Reynold showed: + He took no more, indeed, than what would pay + The bare expenses on his homeward way; + Then sought the street that to the tavern led, + Where still his lazy servant was in bed; + The fellow mauled; then changed throughout his dress; + Since to the cloak-bag now he had access. + His fortune to complete, that day they took + The very wretches that he wished to hook. + He to the judge repaired with ev'ry haste; + In such a case you never time should waste; + For, once the things are into court received, + 'Tis like the lion's den: naught e'er 's retrieved; + Their hands are closed, not 'gainst what may be brought + But to secure what from their grasp is sought. + Who seeks redress by law, facts oft have shown, + May bless his stars if he but keep his own. + + THE trial o'er, a gallows treble-faced, + Was, for their swinging, in the market placed, + ONE of the three harangued the mob around, + (His speech was for the others also found) + Then, 'bout their necks the halters being tied, + Repentant and confessed the culprits died. + + WHO, after this, will doubt the pow'r of prayers? + These silly knaves had banished all their cares; + And when at ease they thought to skip and prance, + Were seized and quickly taught another dance. + On t'other hand, where dire distress prevailed, + And death, in various ways, our spark assailed, + A beauty suddenly his senses charmed, + Who might a prelate's bosom have alarmed. + So truly fortunate, indeed, his lot, + Again his money, baggage, horse he got; + And, thank Saint Julian, howsoever tossed, + He passed a, blissful night that nothing cost. + + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK TALES AND NOVELS OF FONTAINE, V13 *** + +*********** This file should be named 5287.txt or 5287.zip *********** + +This eBook was produced by David Widger + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
