-GIL POLO.
-
-
- Love is not blind, but I alone, who steer
- My wishes headlong unto death:
- Love is no child, but I; who in a breath
- Laugh and lament, and hope and fear:
- What folly then to speak of “flames of Love!”
- Love’s fire from untamed passion springs,
- High and presumptuous thoughts are Cupid’s wings,
- Or hopes as vain on which he soars above.
- Love has no chains, Love bears no bow
- To take, or strike the sound, and free:
- No power has he save that which we bestow;
- A poet’s fiction gave him birth,
- The dream of fools, adored on earth
- By none except the sons of vanity.
-
-
-
-
-QUEVEDO.
-
-
- No more shall custom dash my coward heart,
- Nor shadowy forms nor gloomy fears o’erpower
- My soul, that waits the cold, dark, final hour:
- Soul! be thyself, arm, courage is thy part.
- If Death, though clad in sorrow’s sable weeds,
- Bring peace, a stranger to my troubled breast,
- I’ll give him welcome so he give me rest,
- And thank him as his brandish’d dart he speeds.
- Forgive me that I harbour’d childish fears
- Of thee, the struggling soul who comest to aid,
- As now the disentangled mesh it clears,
- Mortality’s frail snare: no more afraid
- I welcome thee with smiles, not greet with tears,
- For well I know my Ransom hath been paid.
-
-
-
-
-QUEVEDO.
-
-
- I saw, its lofty ramparts undermined,
- Crumbling to earth, my native town decay;
- I saw my fathers’ house, nor saw resign’d,
- Alike assail’d Time’s not disdained prey:
- Upon its black and Time-dishonour’d wall
- My sword ancestral eager I survey’d;
- Devouring Time, triumphant over all,
- Had eaten into its corroded blade:
- My shorten’d staff still yielded as I prest
- The prop on which my age must yet rely,
- And all on which my hand or eye could rest
- Gave sad and solemn warning that we die.
-
-
-
-
-ARGENSOLA.
-
-
- Father of all! unfold, since thou art just,
- Why does thy providence all coldly see
- Pale innocence enchain’d that would be free,
- Whilst fraud ascends the judgment-seat august.
- Who nerves the arm of power which dares oppose
- An impious resistance to thy will?
- Shall holy zeal and timid reverence still
- Groan at the feet of thy obdurate foes?
- See! impious hands victorious banners wave!
- Hark! virtue moans scarce heard amid the shout
- Of insolent triumph, and its boisterous mirth!
- Thus I complaining spoke: A form shone out,
- Gravely it spoke: “Is thy soul’s centre earth?
- Oh blind one! not to _see beyond_ the grave!”
-
-
-
-
-ON THE PROOFS OF A DEITY.
-
-ORIGINAL.
-
-
- Talk not of proofs: God must be seen, and felt,
- And known by meditation; not deduced
- Like some hard problem, or a riddle spelt
- By frequent guessing. Proofs on proofs adduced,
- Speak they so plainly as the wailing cry
- Of her first infant tells the mother’s heart
- A mother’s love doth well from God on high?
- Who hath not heard, in solitude apart,
- God’s voice upon the wind? Who hath not seen
- And felt Him present? seen Him earth pervade?
- Each spring, their wither’d crowns renew with green
- In aged trees? seen Him in depths of shade?
- And glorious sunshine? and reveal’d in light
- Of stars? and in the sea’s resistless might?
-
-
-
-
-VILLEGAS.
-
-
- I.
-
- Now, Spring the year’s contracted brow
- Unknits, and robes in brightest green
- The trees; and, victims to the plough,
- Fresh flowers are strew’d where snows were seen.
- The honours of the time complete,
- Come forth, and welcome in the spring,
- Which spreads a carpet for thy feet,
- A verdant broider’d offering
- For thee, whom, honour’d as her queen,
- She mourns away, and welcomes seen.
-
- II.
-
- Here in this flowing mirror see,
- Worthy of thy reflected face,
- Exulting in its waters free,
- Charms which art’s rivalry disgrace.
- The bygone waters would return,
- The waters present stay their course;
- The coming waters from their urn
- A passage prematurely force;
- All jealous, striving to possess
- The image of thy loveliness.
-
- III.
-
- Nature is eloquent to teach:
- Her lessons do not thou disdain:
- The birds, though unendow’d with speech,
- Can carol love, in song complain.
- Come, seek their school: their love-taught notes
- The text of nature will expound;
- The thrilling music of their throats
- Teach us what bliss in love is found;
- And all their pretty wanton ways,
- Mutely reprove our dull delays.
-

-MELENDEZ.
-
-CUPID A BUTTERFLY.
-
-
- Observing once, with secret spite,
- The rustic maidens, wild with fright,
- Fly from him when his arms he bore,
- Revenge the wily Cupid swore;
- And straight a stratagem design’d,
- For Cupid’s malice is refined.
- He seems a butterfly complete,
- With down upon his baby feet;
- His little arms are changed to wings;
- And sportive into air he springs.
- Now through the meadows he meanders,
- And now from flower to flower he wanders;
- Hovers o’er this, on that alights,
- Whose honied cup his lip invites.
- The maidens think him what he seems,
- Not one of aught deceptive dreams,
- And eager in the chase they strive:
- One stoops to take him up alive,
- As on the ground fatigue he feigns;
- Again he flies and mocks her pains;
- A second calls with accents kind;
- Another panting lags behind.
- He sees them in the contest warm,
- Then starts into his proper form,
- And sets their simple hearts on fire,
- To gratify his childish ire.
- But from that time, in love we see
- The butterfly’s inconstancy.
- Love tarries not, but onward springs;
- Alas! the urchin kept his wings.
-
-
-
-
-MELENDEZ.
-
-
- I.
-
- When I was yet a little boy,
- And Dorila as young,
- Forth to the fields we went with joy,
- Where the first violets sprung.
-
- II.
-
- Her hands arranged, with natural grace,
- For each a garland gay;
- And thus, midst childish sports, apace
- The moments danced away.
-
- III.
-
- Our age advanced, as they withdrew,
- Unwatch’d by us the while;
- By slow degrees our knowledge grew,
- Till innocence seem’d guile.
-
- IV.
-
- The sight of me would now provoke
- A smile, I scarce knew why,
- From Dorila; and if I spoke,
- A laugh was the reply.
-
- V.
-
- The flowers I pluck’d she swiftly twined,
- Her own had little care;
- It took her twice as long to bind
- My chaplet in my hair.
-
- VI.
-
- One summer’s eve two doves we spied;
- Their trembling bills were cross’d;
- Then first we knew for what we sigh’d:
- The lesson was not lost.
-
-
-
-
-A FABLE.
-
-ALTERED FROM THE SPANISH OF YRIARTE.
-
-
- A Piedmontese, from fair to fair,
- Display’d a Vestris in a bear;
- An ape likewise, whose tricks self-taught
- The grinning crowd’s approval caught,
- (Judgment as that of critics sound,
- Who think all’s wit where mischief’s found):
- And last it was his luck to own,
- A treasure in itself alone;
- A pig, to letters train’d, polite
- Of course, the beast was erudite.
- With open mouth, each wondering lout
- Would view its orthographic snout
- Choose letters, and hard words compose,
- Without the due didactic blows.
- Then, if some rude unletter’d hind,
- Impell’d by generous shame, repined,
- Felt his own ignorance, and thought
- That letters might, though late, be taught;
- How would the burly shaven priest
- Exorcise the sleek, learned beast;
- Judge it possess’d, a hog of hell,
- Whose devil-directed nose could spell,
- Pointing to knowledge, and to sin;
- Whilst secretly he’d grieve within
- O’er spelling true, ah! not his own!
- And think the pig, their rival grown,
- Might shake their intellectual throne;
- And force his convent, fond of rule,
- Once more to put themselves to school!
- The bear, first favourite no more,
- Surly, as though his ears were sore,
- The fickle public to regain,
- And give the “pas” to dance again,
- Tries and retries his steps with care,
- Since to be perfect’s not in bear.
- The pig and ape, spectators mute,
- Observe the labours of the brute
- Shuffling, and struggling hard for ease,
- And ever labouring to please.
- At length Sir Bruin thinks he spies
- Derision in pig’s watchful eyes;
- And criticism seems to sneak
- In that dry tongue-distended cheek.
- “Good! Eh?” he daring asks; “my style
- Is all my own, it’s new.” “It’s vile,”
- The Ape cries, midst the Hog’s dissent,
- Who finds the dancing excellent;
- Praises the grace of hams and paws,
- Applauded, (he could spare applause,)
- So natural! and owns that pigs
- Shine less in minuets and jigs;
- And even the critic he defies
- To equal that which he decries.
- Then Bruin, with a thoughtful air,
- Cries, “Friend, your panegyric spare;
- A censuring Ape I might distrust,
- His blame’s too general to be just;
- But, oh! preserve me from my friends!
- I must dance ill—a Hog commends.”

-BOOK I.—ODE III.
-
-
- I.
-
- Thee, may the Cyprian queen divine,
- And Helen’s brethren, glittering sign,
- And Æolus, the winds’ stern sire,
- (Save Iapyx all his subjects bound,)
- Ship! prosperous guide; that safe ashore
- Our Virgil, to the Attic ground
- Thou mayst, thy trusted freight, give o’er,
- And save one half my soul entire.
-
- II.
-
- His bosom fenced brass triply stout,
- Who first in fragile bark put out,
- Braving the ocean; undeterr’d
- By south-west winds, in contest dire
- With north-east blasts; sad Hyades,
- Or by the south wind’s fiercer ire,
- Lord o’er the Adriatic seas
- Calm’d at its sovereign will, or stirr’d.
-
- III.
-
- What shapes of death could him affright,
- Who view’d those ill-famed summits, hight
- Acroceraunia, and the swell
- And swimming monsters of the main
- With steadfast eye? God’s wise decree
- Disjoins the lands remote in vain,
- If impious, o’er the severing sea
- The bark contemptuous sails propel.
-
- IV.
-
- Man, bold to endure where gain’s the cause,
- Bursts through divine and human laws.
- When bold Prometheus, for our race,
- Plunder’d of fire the mansions blest
- By wicked fraud, o’er earth new bands
- Of fevers brooded; forward prest
- The pestilence, and new commands
- Quicken’d death’s first retarded pace.
-
- V.
-
- On pinions, unto man denied,
- Once Dædalus void æther tried.
- By force hell’s bounds Alcides past.
- Nought is too arduous for man:
- We foolish, heaven itself invade,
- Our desperate crimes fresh outbreaks plan;
- And force Jove’s hand, by mercy stay’d,
- The angry bolts to launch at last.
-
-
-
-
-BOOK I.—ODE V.
-
-
- What slender youth, whom many roses crown,
- Whose hair rich liquid unguents steal adown,
- Wooes thee, coy Pyrrha, in some pleasant grot?
- For whom dost thou thy golden tresses knot
- Neat in thine elegance? How oft he’ll weep
- Thy faith and gods as mutable! The deep
- How oft, poor simple novice, he’ll admire
- Blackening beneath the savage tempest’s ire,
- Who now enjoys thee in thy golden days,
- Unconscious how the changing wind betrays;
- Ah, credulous! and fondly hopes to find
- Thee his for ever, and for ever kind.
- Woe unto whom thou glitterest untried!
- My votive picture, in his temple, tells
- I’ve hung my garments, reeking from the tide,
- Before the God, whose power the ocean quells.
-
-
-
-
-BOOK I.—ODE IX.
-
-
- I.
-
- How white Soracte stands, behold,
- With lofty snows! Its labouring trees
- Groan ’neath the weight. The rivers freeze
- And flow no more, congeal’d by cold.
-
- II.
-
- Replenish largely from your store
- The fire with logs, dispel the chill;
- And wine, the cherish’d four-year old,
- From Sabine cask more freely fill.
-
- III.
-
- Leave to the gods the rest: whose word,
- Soon as it lulls the boiling seas
- Battling with winds, the cypress trees,
- And aged elms, no more are stirr’d.
-
- IV.
-
- Ask not, to-morrow what may chance,
- Count it for gain whate’er betide:
- Nor spurn, to peevish age denied,
- Soft loves, my boy, nor yet the dance:
-
- V.
-
- Whilst hoary age, morose and sour,
- Spares thy green spring, youth’s pastimes light
- By day, soft whisperings by night,
- Be thine, at the appointed hour,
-
- VI.
-
- The hiding maid’s forced laugh, dear sound,
- From secret nook, love’s fond alarm;
- The pledge, which beauty’s plunder’d arm,
- On irretentive finger bound.
-
-
-
-
-BOOK III.—ODE XXIX.
-
-
- I.
-
- Sprung from the Etrurian kingly line
- Mecænas, thee my choicest wine
- Stored in a cask ne’er broach’d, my best
- Of unguents for thy hair exprest,
- With roses fresh, invite to stay;
- Come, snatch thyself from dull delay.
- View not for aye moist Tibur’s glade,
- With Æsula’s inclining side,
- And rocks where erst his refuge made
- Telegonus, the parricide.
-
- II.
-
- Leave loathed plenty, and retire
- From piles which to the clouds aspire;
- Leave wealthy Rome for humbler joys,
- Its smoke, its riches, and its noise.
- Vicissitudes delight the great
- Well pleased sometimes to quit their state:
- Beneath the poor man’s humble roof,
- A frugal supper neatly dress’d
- Oft smooths the brow, keeps care aloof,
- Though there no purple couch be prest.
-
- III.
-
- Above, Andromeda’s fierce sire
- Glows in the skies with splendid fire;
- Now Procyon rages, and the star
- Of the mad Lion seen afar;
- The sun brings back the time of drought,
- The wearied hind his flocks hath brought
- Languid with heat to shade and stream
- There; where secure in tangled brake
- The rough Sylvanus shuns day’s gleam,
- And winds the silent bank forsake.
-
- IV.
-
- Thy task it is to guide the state,
- Solicitous the city’s fate
- To learn, what eastern hordes design,
- What Bactra, ruled by Cyrus’ line,
- Or China; or why discord reigns
- Where Tanais flows through sandy plains.
- God knows, alone, what is to be,
- Prudent, the future veils in night,
- And laughs when ills blind mortals see
- Foreboded, with extreme affright.
-
- V.
-
- Use what the present moment brings;
- Like to some stream are future things,
- Which in mid channel calmly glides,
- To mix in the Etrurian tides:
- Anon, adown its waters borne
- Trees, cattle, houses, stones half worn
- Together roll, whilst loud is heard
- The clamour in the mountain caves
- Of neighbouring woods; and tempest-stirr’d,
- The calmest rivers swell with waves.
-
- VI.
-
- That man is blest who thus can say
- Lord of himself, “I’ve lived to day;
- To-morrow let the gods obscure
- The sky with clouds, or sunshine pure
- Pour forth, come brightness, or come gloom,
- The past is acted, and its doom
- Pronounced; and to revoke the past,
- Annul the joys I _have_ possess’d,
- Darken the light past hours have cast,
- Is not in fate: I have been blest.”
-
- VII.
-
- Fortune still plies her savage trade,
- Laughs at the bankrupts she hath made;
- And insolent enjoys the game
- As shuffling honours, wealth, and fame,
- To others, now to me, she’ll deal
- The prizes of her fickle wheel.
- Mine she’s adored: her gifts resign’d
- Soon as her rapid pinions sound,
- Meek dow’rless poverty, more kind,
- I woo, whilst virtue wraps me round.
-
- VIII.
-
- ’Tis not for me, when, strain’d and weak,
- The labouring mast is heard to creak,
- To fall to wretched trading prayers,
- Lest Cyprian or lest Tyrian wares
- With rarest spoils, unwonted gain,
- Enrich the avaricious main.
- Me favour’d by a gentle breeze,
- And safe within my light bireme,
- Shall light along the Ægean seas
- Leda’s fair twins, my constant theme.

-
-ODE TO HARRIS[1].
-
-
- Always I hated civic[2] entertainments:
- Mutton disgusts me simulating[3] ven’son,
- Catch[4] me no fish hermetically fasten’d,
- Harris, or oysters.
-
- _Still_[5] I could feast on watery[6] potatoes.
- Fill my friend’s lap[7] soups derelict[8], abandon’d
- Sauces, rich gifts of charitable ocean
- Cheaply benignant[9].
-
-[1] Who this Harris was, is a point about which the commentators are at
-variance. Some say, but erroneously as I think, that he was the “puer,”
-the “minister,” of the poet. But this is not probable, for to such
-persons odes were not then commonly addressed. No! Harris was no servant,
-he was the friend, the “commensalis,” the fellow-messman of the author at
-the cuddy table; whom he may be supposed to be inviting to the erratic
-fish, which, under the influence of a gale, has become as locomotive as
-ever it was in its own native element.
-
-[2] Why civic, since the entertainment was nautical? ask some
-matter-of-fact critics. Do not these blunderers perceive the
-delicately-veiled compliment to the owners of the vessel upon the
-richness and profusion of the viands?
-
-[3] “Simulating ven’son.” This process is, unfortunately, in some degree
-lost to us. Some say that mutton was made to resemble venison, by being
-roasted with the wool on. Others, that it was the flesh of a seven-year
-old male, _not a wether_. But neither of these conjectures is correct.
-The meat was probably steeped in a brine compounded of wine, salt,
-spices, sugar, and other condiments, and sprinkled with Irish blackguard
-and brickdust.
-
-[4] “Catch.” Some critics would substitute “reach” for “catch.” But who
-does not see the witty allusion to the unsteadiness of the table, to
-which these dull dogs are blind?
-
-[5] “Still.” Free from motion.
-
-[6] “Watery potatoes.” This expression is very enigmatical. Some
-understand by it “dressed in, or by means of water,” as potatoes boiled
-or steamed, in opposition to roasted, baked, or fried potatoes, his
-preference for which the author is supposed to insinuate. But in my
-opinion this reading, though ingenious, is not correct; the true sense
-of the expression is potatoes carried by water, that is, potatoes eaten
-at sea. Murphyius, however, that intemperate though erudite Hibernian
-critic, declares that it means any potato not Irish, which last alone, as
-he says, were free when dressed from superfluous moisture. He contends,
-that the potato esteemed by epicures was a mealy potato. But he offers
-nothing in proof of his assertion.
-
-[7] “Lap.” This is plainly a misreading for “plate.” It would have been
-an unfriendly and unamiable wish had the author prayed that liquids,
-as soups and sauces were, should fall into the lap of his friend, of
-which it would naturally have been irretentive. It is easy to trace the
-corruption of the text. “Plate” has been written with an elision, “pla,”
-by a copyist studious of his ease. The now final vowel has slipped into
-the middle place and formed “pal;” which a careless scribe, putting the
-cart before the horse, has changed into “lap.”
-
-[8] “Derelict.” This implies the departure from the table of some
-squeamish person without the “animus revertendi.”
-
-[9] “Cheaply benignant,” that is, dispensing things not its own, liberal
-at the expense of others; as a generous churchwarden, a chairman
-distributing prizes, a prime minister filling up a pension-list, a House
-of Commons voting supplies, or an attorney marking undelivered briefs for
-a son.

-
-THE DOCTOR WITHOUT A SOUL; OR, THE CREATURES OF ROMANCE.
-
-
- I.
-
- His studies o’er, his next discourse
- Impromptu learnt by rote,
- The rector rose, and doff’d a coarse
- To don a finer coat.
-
- II.
-
- His silken hose with shining clocks
- Which clothed each portly calf,
- His shovel hat right orthodox,
- And golden-headed staff,
-
- III.
-
- All spoke the doctor. On he strode:
- Soon splash’d, he vow’d irate,
- The sinner who survey’d the road
- He’d excommunicate.
-
- IV.
-
- No! he’d indict his stubborn flock,
- And shear their golden fleece.
- Who, heeding _much_ the parish stock,
- _Little_ Victoria’s peace,
-
- V.
-
- Rebellious lieges! mended not
- The errors of their ways,
- (Upon their pastor’s shoes a spot
- Would shorten not their days!)
-
- VI.
-
- Thus he resolved; but cries invade
- His Reverence’s ear!
- Is it some damsel, who, afraid,
- Sees men disguised in beer?
-
- VII.
-
- Or one the milky mothers meet
- Emerging from the byre?
- Who sees a snake beneath her feet?
- Or waddling toad retire?
-
- VIII.
-
- Perplex’d, he hurries on the while,
- But soon is seen to stand
- Amazed: two ladies on a stile
- Were seated hand in hand:
-
- IX.
-
- Young were they both, and fair to view,
- Yet sorrow from their eyes
- Tears, so the doctor fancied, drew:
- He spoke, in grave surprise:
-
- X.
-
- “Issued those cries from ladies’ throats?
- And what’s the reason? say.”
- “How canst thou ask, when all denotes
- The cause? this glorious day!”
-
- XI.
-
- “Thank God,” he cried, “the day is fine,
- Yet why should that distress?
- The glass is rising; to repine
- Seems rude unthankfulness.”
-
- XII.
-
- “We are not understood, we see
- With optics not like thine,
- What canst thou know of poesy,
- A middle-aged divine?
-
- XIII.
-
- “Was ever yet a poet known
- To wear a white cravat?
- A soul did ever mortal own
- In a three-corner’d hat?
-
- XIV.
-
- “We could sit here and cry for hours,
- Or shriek with sad delight;
- The earth, sea, sky, sun, shade, and flowers,
- Are agonising quite.
-
- XV.
-
- “To weep’s enjoyment half divine:
- Unsavoury appears
- To thee, a bibber of port wine,
- The luxury of tears.
-
- XVI.
-
- “Farewell, farewell! we grieve for thee;”
- (They cast a pitying glance,)
- Doctor, thou hast no sympathy
- With Creatures of Romance.”

- MR. ADIPOCIRE, an eminent and _reflecting_ Tallow Chandler.
- MRS. ADIPOCIRE, an every-day sort of Woman.
-
-TIME—_Evening. The Sea-shore._
-
- MR. A.
-
- How harden’d is the man who has not felt
- His heart ’neath Nature’s influences _melt_!
-
- MRS. A.
-
- You promised all these terms of art to drop;
- Indeed, my dear, you savour of the shop.
-
- MR. A.
-
- ’Tis sweet to see the lazy clouds decamp,
- ’Tis sweet to see Night hang her silver _lamp_.
-
- MRS. A.
-
- Lamp!
-
- MR. A.
-
- And with telescope, or naked eye,
- To view the lesser _tapers_ of the sky.
-
- MRS. A.
-
- Tapers, for shame!
-
- MR. A.
-
- ’Tis pleasing to discern
- Planet from star, and know the orbs which _burn_.
-
- MRS. A.
-
- Burn! there again.
-
- MR. A.
-
- Ah! wherefore do they _blaze_?
- Who _lights_ the sunbeams, and the lunar rays?
-
- MRS. A.
-
- Oh!
-
- MR. A.
-
- When, as our immortal Shakespear sings,
- “Night’s _candles_ are burnt out,” who daylight brings?
-
- MRS. A.
-
- Ah!
-
- MR. A.
-
- He whose steady eye to his _concerns_
- Forces the comets to make due _returns_.
-
- MRS. A.
-
- I’m quite worn out.
-
- MR. A.
-
- Who bounteous made the whales
- Common and Spermaceti?
-
- MRS. A.
-
- Odious tales!
-
- MR. A.
-
- ’Twas that First Cause which, for our nightly use,
- Filleth the cocoa-nuts with unctuous juice,
- Which bids the wether fatten to supply
- A light to tantalise, not satisfy:
- Which gives us fatty wax from bodies dead
- Of Lamberts damp within their “narrow bed,”
- Which stores the laden thighs of bees with wax,
- (Its lustre hence no dining-table lacks
- By footmen rubb’d, who burnish and blaspheme.)
- Wax which illumes when urns emit their steam:
- Wax which inspired the genius of Argand,
- When lamps, despised till then, at his command
- A radiance mild o’er dinner-tables shed,
- Soft’ning on cheeks the artificial red.
- Paling each pimply nose with chasten’d light:
-
- MRS. A.
-
- A—! you are quite incorrigible, quite;
- When shall I ever tutor you to feel
- The moral fitness of the “true genteel!”
-
- MR. A.
-
- Well, well, I’ll not offend, love, with my tongue.
- Oh! with what art those _lustres_ bright are _hung_!
-
- MRS. A.
-
- You keep indeed a guard upon your lips.
-
- MR. A.
-
- Observe that bird, how prettily it _dips_;
- Its plumage and its graceful shape behold,
- And see how Nature works in Beauty’s _mould_.
-
- MRS. A.
-
- I see my temper you’re disposed to try,
- Yet I may be lamented when I die;
- Speak as you please, you’re safe from my complaints,
- But you’re enough to vex a saint of saints.
-
- MR. A.
-
- My dear, you’re _waxing_ wroth.
-
- MRS. A. (_going_.)
-
- Provoking!
-
- MR. A.
-
- Stay,
- I hear our children’s voices at their play;
- I love to see them sporting on the rocks,
-
- MRS. A.
-
- Wetting their feet, and dirtying their frocks.
- My dear, come in.
-
- MR. A.
-
- My darling, I’ll stay out.
-
- MRS. A.
-
- Don’t expect me to nurse you in the gout. [_Exit._

-
-THE PILOT IN SIGHT.
-
-
- I.
-
- And are you sure the news is true?
- And is the pilot seen?
- I see the waters changed in hue,
- Old Neptune’s deck’d in green.
-
- II.
-
- ’Tis true; I see the glistening sail
- Far o’er the watery space,
- White as a floating bridal veil
- Thrown off a blushing face.
-
- III.
-
- All eyes are straining for the shore,
- I long to climb above,
- And shall I touch the land once more,
- And hear of those I love?
-
- IV.
-
- Before this wearying glass has spent
- Its sand, he’ll he aboard;
- I’ll ask not if we’ve pitch’d the tent,
- Or sheath’d the bloody sword;
-
- V.
-
- If Dost Mahomed captive pine,
- Or if the Tartar bend,
- I’ll trembling ask for one dear line
- From some familiar friend.
-
- VI.
-
- The pilot on the deck has sprung,
- He’s hail’d on every side,
- Shame on my false, rebellious tongue!
- Oh! why is speech denied?
-
-
-
-
-THE ARRIVAL; OR, THE LAND-LUBBER’S SONG.
-
-
- I.
-
- The joys of the ocean let others discuss,
- A ship is to me a marine omnibus,
- Or an ark where man, beast, bird, and insect convene,
- And each living creature on board is unclean.
-
- II.
-
- Should slumber miraculous seal up your eyes,
- No chanticleer issues a summons to rise,
- You’ve the music of hounds, and should that fail to vex,
- It gives place to the sound of men swobbing the decks.
-
- III.
-
- In the stillness of night some fond fancies invade,
- Perchance you may dream that some fair, favour’d maid
- With delicate fingers is twining your hair,
- And you wake to find cockroaches, not fingers, there.
-
- IV.
-
- ’Tis a Babel of sounds; you’ve the lowing of cows,
- Sheep bleating, and squeaks of parturient sows,
- Geese cackling, ducks quacking, curs yelping, ne’er mute,
- And the wheeze of some plaintive, asthmatical flute.
-
- V.
-
- Around you what various odours arise!
- How blest is the man to whom nature denies
- The olfactory nerve, to whose nonchalant nose
- The stalest bilgewater is fragrant as rose!
-
- VI.
-
- To dine in the cuddy tames pleasures of sense,
- Proves life but a lottery; its prizes pretence,
- Its blanks dark realities, there ’twill be seen
- ’Twixt the cup and the lip what sad slips intervene.
-
- VII.
-
- You drink to a fair one: how blest her escape,
- Whose bosom’s not red with the juice of the grape;
- Each flagon may Tantalus serve for a stoup,
- And envious Neptune upsets your pea-soup.
-
- VIII.
-
- What pleasure to walk with a staggering gait,
- With dimness of sight, and confusion of pate;
- Like a drunkard to reel when the ship gives a lurch,
- And balance see-saw, like a duck forced to perch!
-
- IX.
-
- The city of palaces bursts on my sight!
- Its mosques and its temples I hail with delight;
- A palace in every building I see,
- For a pigsty ashore is a palace to me.
-

-
-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
-works not protected by U.S. copyright law 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.

-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 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. 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 information page at
-www.gutenberg.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. 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 business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,
-Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up
-to date contact information can be found at the Foundation's website
-and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without
-widespread 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 www.gutenberg.org/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: www.gutenberg.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 forty 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 not protected by copyright 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 website which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This website 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><a id="Footnote_1" href="#FNanchor_1" class="label">[1]</a> Who this Harris was, is a point about which the commentators are at
-variance. Some say, but erroneously as I think, that he was the “puer,” the
-“minister,” of the poet. But this is not probable, for to such persons odes
-were not then commonly addressed. No! Harris was no servant, he was the
-friend, the “commensalis,” the fellow-messman of the author at the cuddy
-table; whom he may be supposed to be inviting to the erratic fish, which,
-under the influence of a gale, has become as locomotive as ever it was in its
-own native element.</p>
-

-
-<div class="footnote">
-
-<p><a id="Footnote_2" href="#FNanchor_2" class="label">[2]</a> Why civic, since the entertainment was nautical? ask some matter-of-fact
-critics. Do not these blunderers perceive the delicately-veiled compliment
-to the owners of the vessel upon the richness and profusion of the
-viands?</p>
-

-
-<div class="footnote">
-
-<p><a id="Footnote_3" href="#FNanchor_3" class="label">[3]</a> “Simulating ven’son.” This process is, unfortunately, in some degree
-lost to us. Some say that mutton was made to resemble venison, by being
-roasted with the wool on. Others, that it was the flesh of a seven-year old male,
-<i>not a wether</i>. But neither of these conjectures is correct. The meat was
-probably steeped in a brine compounded of wine, salt, spices, sugar, and other
-condiments, and sprinkled with Irish blackguard and brickdust.</p>
-
-</div>
-
-<div class="footnote">
-
-<p><a id="Footnote_4" href="#FNanchor_4" class="label">[4]</a> “Catch.” Some critics would substitute “reach” for “catch.” But who

-
-<p><a id="Footnote_6" href="#FNanchor_6" class="label">[6]</a> “Watery potatoes.” This expression is very enigmatical. Some understand
-by it “dressed in, or by means of water,” as potatoes boiled or steamed,
-in opposition to roasted, baked, or fried potatoes, his preference for which the
-author is supposed to insinuate. But in my opinion this reading, though
-ingenious, is not correct; the true sense of the expression is potatoes carried
-by water, that is, potatoes eaten at sea. Murphyius, however, that intemperate
-though erudite Hibernian critic, declares that it means any potato not

-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>

-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

-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United

-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 <a href="https://www.gutenberg.org/donate/">www.gutenberg.org/donate</a>.
