 PREFACE. 
 
 THIS volume is intended to serve as a manual for 
 the young composer of Greek Tragic Senarii. It 
 presents in the first place a concise and practical ac- 
 count of the laws of Tragic Iambic Verse, and a few 
 cursory notices of the dialect and peculiar phraseology 
 of the Dramatic poets, to be improved and expanded 
 by the reading and observation of the young student 
 himself. These are followed by a series of translations 
 from Shakspeare and other poets, (with a few original 
 compositions) selected from the exercises of my own 
 pupils. They are designed to furnish the beginner 
 with specimens of the skill and tact by which the 
 difficulties of version from one into another poetic 
 language are overcome after a little practice. For 
 such a purpose the best exercises of schoolboys are 
 more suitable then the masterpieces of the most finished 
 scholar of riper years. The boy who is told to imitate 
 Euripides, Virgil or Cicero, will be rather damped than 
 encouraged by this advice, unless he possesses that rare 
 temperament, which thinks " it were an easy leap to 
 pluck bright honour from the pale-fac'd moon." But 
 when the models proposed for his imitation are the 
 exercises of his own schoolfellows, or, in general, those 
 of boys at school, of the same age and under the same 
 circumstances as himself, he at once feels and owns that 
 he has before him a standard which may be reached,

 PREFACE. 
 
 and, if he has a proper share of emulation, he will do 
 all in his power to reach it. And this indeed is the 
 principal reason why the compositions of boys at public 
 schools are in general so much superior to those written 
 in the course of a private education. The volume con- 
 cludes with a series of progressive exercises in Greek 
 Iambic versification. They are intended to be done in 
 school, under the master's eye ; and a judicious master 
 will easily understand what kind and degree of help it 
 will be desirable for him to supply at each step, either 
 to the class at large, or to individual boys. They are 
 also meant to serve the secondary purpose of accentual 
 exercises; and with this view the accents are omitted. 
 If, after being scanned and accented, they are likewise 
 construed, and the tragic forms and idioms carefully 
 noted, their usefulness will be carried to its utmost 
 limit. 
 
 Although these Exercises have been arranged with 
 a main regard to the use of the middle forms in public 
 schools, they will be quite as useful to that large class 
 of private students, whose skill in composition is un- 
 equal to their general attainments in Greek scholarship. 
 
 It has not been thought necessary to add any 
 exercises in Trochaic or Anapaestic verse. The atten- 
 tion of the young composer ought not to be distracted 
 by a variety of metres. When he has learnt by dili- 
 gent practice to write Iambic Senarii with ease and 
 elegance, he will find no difficulty in applying his me- 
 trical skill, together with his stores of Tragic phraseo- 
 logy, to the Trochaic and Anapaestic rhythms.

 PREFACE. 1H 
 
 I. ON RHYTHM. 
 
 1. Rhythm is the regular succession of parts of 
 time, (which are technically called Times.) 
 
 2. A stronger Time is called Arsis, a weaker Time 
 Thesis. 
 
 3. A syllable in Arsis is said to have an Ictus 
 or stress of pronunciation (') (not to be confounded 
 with the acute accent). 
 
 4. Rhythms which begin with Arsis are called de- 
 scending : as, 
 
 She, with all a monarch's pride, 
 Felt them in her bosom glow ; 
 
 Rush'd to battle, fought, and died ; 
 Dying, hurl'd them at the foe. 
 
 5. Rhythms which begin with Thesis are called 
 ascending : as, 
 
 O Thou that dry^st the mourner's tear, 
 How dark this world would be, 
 
 If when deceived and wounded here, 
 We could not fly to Thee. 
 
 IT. ON QUANTITY. 
 
 1. A short syllable (y) is considered equal to one 
 Time. 
 
 a 2
 
 IV PREFACE. 
 
 2. A long syllable (-) = (^^) = two Times. 
 (The quantity of syllables in Greek may be learnt 
 from Anthon's or any good Greek Prosody.) 
 
 III. ON FEET. 
 
 1. Certain limited successions of Arsis and Thesis 
 are called Feet. There are Feet containing from two 
 to four syllables, from two to eight Times. The Foot 
 of two Times (y^) is called Pyrrichius. 
 
 2. The Feet with which we are now concerned, 
 are those of 3 (rpi^povoi) and 4 (reTpd-^povoi) Times : 
 as, 
 
 (a) rpi^povot - ^ Trochseus 
 ^ - Iambus 
 
 www Tribrachys, 
 
 (6) Terpd-^povoi Spondaeus 
 
 _ w w Dactylus 
 ww_ Anapaestus. 
 
 Note. ( w ) is called Creticus, a foot of five 
 Times. 
 
 IV. ON IAMBIC RHYTHM. 
 
 1. The Iambic is an ascending Rhythm, and the 
 converse of the Trochaic, which is descending. 
 
 2. Iambic (and Trochaic) Rhythms may be mea- 
 sured either by single Feet, or by Ai7ro<5t'af, Dipodies, 
 (Double-feet). Each SnroSia is called a Metre (/merpov.)
 
 PREFACE. V 
 
 3. Hence 
 
 a Rhythm of 2 Feet = 1 Metre, is called Monometer, 
 
 4 ... = 2 Metres, Dimeter, 
 
 6 ... =3 Trimeter, 
 
 8 ... =4 Tetrameter, 
 
 &c. &c. &c. ... = &c &c. 
 
 4. A poetical Rhythm is called a Verse. 
 
 V. CATALEXIS. 
 
 1. An Acatalectic Rhythm is one which has its 
 Metres complete in their number of syllables. 
 
 2. A Catalectic Rhythm wants one syllable to com- 
 plete its Metres. 
 
 3. A Brachycatalectic Rhythm wants two syllables 
 to complete its Metres. 
 
 4. An Hypercatalectic Rhythm has one syllable 
 beyond its complete Metres. 
 
 VI. TRAGIC IAMBIC VERSE. 
 
 1. The Verse chiefly used in the Dialogue of Greek 
 Tragedy, is called, as measured by Metres, Tragicus 
 lambicus Trimeter Acatalecticus : or as measured by 
 Feet, Tragicus lambicus Senarius : having three per- 
 fect metres = six feet (seni pedes).
 
 VI PREFACE. 
 
 2. In its pure form it consists of 
 
 3 Diiambi = 6 Iambi : as 
 o jraari icXelvos Ot^'iTroiJs | 
 (the last syllable being always regarded as long.) 
 
 3. But, in order to give more strength, weight, 
 and variety to the Rhythm, the Tragic poets admitted 
 a long instead of a short syllable in the first Thesis 
 of each Metre; or, in other words 
 
 A Spondee may be substituted for an Iambus in the 
 1st, 3rd and 5th Feet : as 
 
 oXX' acr'0a\eZ|<jt TrjvS' avop^uxrov* 7roXZi;.| 
 
 4. The Iambus (^-) may be resolved (excepting in 
 the last Foot) into the Tribrach (u^^), but care must 
 be taken not to make the Verse weak or inharmonious 
 by too large a number of short syllables. Examples : 
 
 At/item' oe Nat/JTrXieZoi' eK\Tr\ijp<JiJv 7rXaV>7.| 
 o yap maKapi\os /coy/c 
 ' 
 
 ori 
 
 olnov ev\Qvvov ray evaXiav 7r\a.Trji>.\ 
 ToiavTa (lev \ rao ecrTiv ajjL\(poTepa} 
 
 Note. The Tribrach in the 5th foot is not very 
 frequent. 
 
 5. The Spondee ( -- ) in the 1st and 3rd Feet 
 may be resolved into a Dactyl (-^w) as 
 
 cl w I - -I u| _ _ | O, 
 
 aepi TroTajrat /cat 1 Tivei | Tavmv ciicrjv. 
 
 OVTOS <pvrev\i IleXoTra TOV \ o "ATjOei/s 1 e(j)v.\ 
 Note. The Arsis is on the 2nd syllable of a Dactyl 
 or Tribrach in Iambic Rhythms.
 
 PREFACE. Vll 
 
 6. The Spondee in the 1st Foot may be resolved 
 into an Anapaest (^ w -) ; as 
 
 "iiteTev o/u.ev | ae TTCLVTCS oi\oe Trpoa'Tpoiroi.\ 
 
 7- When a Proper Name occurs which could not 
 otherwise find a place in the Verse, an Anapaest is 
 allowed in any Foot excepting the last; as 
 
 et7ro. 
 
 VII. C^SURA. 
 
 1. By Caesura in Verse we understand the pause 
 occasioned by the close of a Word before the close of a 
 Foot. 
 
 Note. The pause occasioned by the close of a 
 Word and Foot at the same time is called Diaeresis. 
 
 2. Hence in Iambic Verse, a Caesura can only 
 occur after a syllable in Thesis. 
 
 3. There are two principal Caesuras of the Iambic 
 Trimeter : viz. 
 
 (a) the Penthemimeral after the Thesis of the 
 3rd Foot : as 
 
 to TCKva Kd$nou,,Tov TraXai vea rpo(f)ij. 
 
 (6) the Hephthemimeral, after the Thesis of 
 the 4th Foot : as 
 
 \KTrjpiois K\d$oi(riv .. e^eare/UL.uevoi' 
 
 Note. Elision after the Thesis does not destroy the 
 Caesura.
 
 Vlll PREFACE. 
 
 4. One or other of these Caesuras is considered 
 generally essential to the perfection of the Tragic Se- 
 narius. Verses without Caesura sometimes occur, and 
 may be justified by various reasons : but they should 
 be avoided by a young composer. 
 
 5. The Caesura may however be sometimes neg- 
 lected without inelegance in cases where before the 
 Thesis of the 4th Foot a syllable is elided, which, had 
 it not been elided, would itself have formed that Thesis 
 This is called Quasi-caesura ; as 
 
 67reK\(0(rev ded. 
 
 Note. The 3rd and 4th Feet are never united in 
 one word by the Tragic Poets. 
 
 6. If there be a Caesura after the Thesis of the 
 5th Foot, the Tragic Poets make that Thesis short, or 
 (in other words) they avoid a Spondee in that place. 
 Hence such rhythms as the following must be avoided. 
 
 $$'$ * ** ' 
 
 ws orj oeorjy/mcii Tt]v e/mavrov Kapoiav. 
 
 7- To the foregoing Rule there are two principal 
 exceptions : viz. 
 
 (a) When the Thesis of the 5th Foot is formed 
 by a monosyllable capable of beginning a sentence. 
 
 (6) When the Arsis of the 5th Foot is formed 
 by a monosyllable incapable of beginning a sentence. 
 
 Hence the following rhythms are admissible :

 Note. Although we do not treat in this place of 
 Trochaic Rhythms, it may be noticed that, if we prefix 
 to an Iambic Trimeter three (or four) syllables com- 
 prising Arsis + Thesis + Arsis, there results the Tro- 
 chaic Verse used in Tragedy, viz. Tetrameter Catalec-

 IX. RULES FOR THE MANAGEMENT 
 OF RHYTHM. 
 
 Avoid (ww^) after (v^wv^) O r (- 
 
 Avoid more than two Feet of three syllables in the 
 same Verse. 
 
 Avoid the frequency of Feet of three syllables in 
 consecutive Verses. 
 
 Avoid generally a Diaeresis with stop after the 3rd 
 Foot.
 
 PREFACE. XI 
 
 Use sparingly a Diaeresis with stop after the 2nd 
 Foot. 
 
 Use sparingly a Diaeresis with stop after the 5th 
 Foot. 
 
 Avoid generally a Caesura with stop after the Thesis 
 of the 5th Foot. 
 
 X. PRINCIPAL RULES OF TRAGIC 
 PROSODY. 
 
 1. Datives Plural in oi<? and cus, may take t, as 
 \oyotari. 
 
 2. N. (p\Kva-TiKov may be added before conso- 
 nants for the sake of metre as well as before vowels. 
 
 3. Hiatus of vowels is not allowable, excepting 
 
 (sometimes), in the words ev and TI, as ev icrOi, TI 
 
 f 
 ovv. 
 
 4. Elision of diphthongs does not take place, but 
 only that of short vowels. Except oi/u.' <a$ for oi/moi ws. 
 
 Obs. 1. The t of the Dative Case is not elided; nor 
 
 of Ti, OTl, TTfpL 
 
 Obs. 2. The article is never elided, but undergoes 
 Crasis. 
 
 5. Prodelision, (the elision or absorption of a short 
 vowel beginning a word, after a long vowel or diphthong 
 ending the word before it,) is frequent in Tragedy, as 
 /u.r) ' for fjitj e fw\<Jo yo> for /uioXo) eyta o'iov Vpct^j/s 
 
 for o'iov eTpa(pr)S f*.ou 0e\7s for JJLOV a(f>e\ris Ti/^fy 
 
 'yaOfi for rv-^ri dyaOy, &c. SEC. The limits which se-
 
 Xll PREFACE. 
 
 parate Prodelision from Crasis are not very accurately 
 definable. 
 
 6. Crasis is the coalition of two words into one, 
 when the former ends and the latter begins with a 
 vowel or diphthong. 
 
 The general laws of Crasis are the same as those 
 of contraction (which are given in Greek Grammars,) 
 but with some exceptions. 
 
 The principal Crases of Greek Tragedy are as 
 follows : 
 
 (a) Crasis of the Article, 
 
 o + a = a, as o avrjp = avtjp, TO aXXo, = TaXXo. 
 o + e = oi/, as o e7ri/3oi/Xevo>i/ = ov7ri(3ov\ev(ov, TO ey- 
 
 KWJU.IOV = TovyKWfjLiov. 
 o + r) = /, as TO rjfj.Tepov = Qrjf^eTepov. 
 
 O + I = Oi, as TO 'ijUClTlOV = Oo'lfJLClTlOV-

 (6) Crasis of <cat. 
 
 Before a, at, ai/, et, ey, t, ^, ot, oy, i/, ft), the era- 
 sis of K-at is formed by striking out at, as KciyaQos, 
 Ka'urxyvri, KO.VTOS, /rets, /cei/0Js, ^tXea)?, ^>/, ^ot, /coi/, 
 yvirep, ywTivi. But Kat elra = KCITCI. 
 /cat + e = /ca, or ^a, as /fat ert = /cart, /cat eTepos = 
 
 /cat + o = /co^, or ^a>, as /cat 
 
 (c) The few instances of Crasis which occur 
 in other words, follow for the most part the rules 
 already given under (a) : as
 
 XIV PREFACE. 
 
 eyw oiioa = eytaoa, rot apa = Tapa, rot av = ray, pot 
 
 CCTTl = fWUCTTl, 
 
 7- Synecphonesis (or the metrical coalition of two 
 syllables in different words without a formal crasis) 
 sometimes occurs in Tragedy. The principal instances 
 
 are, ij ov, fj.tj ov, eTret oy, /mtj eicevai, eyca oi>, 
 eyw dpi. 
 
 8. Synizesis (or the metrical coalition of two syl- 
 lables in the same word without a formal contraction) 
 sometimes occurs : for instance 
 
 6W, as 7roXe<w9, A/u.(f)iape<os, i'tt, as HLptvvwv 
 
 uoi, as Svoiv. But the most frequent example is Oeos 
 which may be used as a monosyllable in any of its 
 cases. 
 
 9. A short vowel becomes long before 
 
 (a) a double consonant. 
 (6) two mute consonants. 
 
 (c) two liquid consonants. 
 
 (d) fin, fiv, 7^> 7"3 $ v ' 
 
 (e) o- with any other consonant. 
 
 10. A short vowel becomes common before 
 
 /3\, /3p, 'yX, yp-> dfj., dp, 0\, O/UL, Ov, 9p, /fX, KH, KV, 
 
 Kp, TrX, 7T/U, TTV, 7T|0, rX, TyU, TV, Tp, (j)\, 0/X, 0I>, 
 
 (f>p t But a short vowel at the end of a word is 
 seldom made long before any of these positions ex- 
 cepting /3X, y\, and <pp.
 
 PREFACE. XV 
 
 11. A short vowel in Arsis at the end of a word 
 may be lengthened by an initial p ; 
 
 as ets e/ULe peirov. 
 
 12. The interjections (pev, cucu, elei/, sometimes 
 occur extra metrum. 
 
 13. riroXts may be used for TroXis to lengthen a 
 preceding short vowel. 
 
 14. I is common in \iav, mo/mat, iarpos, opviS) 
 long in o0is, o<ptv, /cows, KOVIV- 
 
 15. Ot is common in Trote&j, TotoVoe, Totovros-, otlos. 
 
 16. Ed accus. of words in ew, as y3a<rtXea. 
 
 17. 'H/uui;, v/xti/ may shorten the i by becoming 
 
 w w 
 
 oxytona instead of perispomena, as //u<i; y/A<V. 
 
 XI. DIALECT AND PHRASEOLOGY. 
 
 1. The Tragic dialogue exhibits a measured and 
 severe dignity of style, equally removed from the col- 
 loquial looseness of Comedy and the daring excursive- 
 ness of Lyric poetry. Among many features common 
 to a good prose style, it also contains numerous forms 
 and phrases of a purely poetic character. 
 
 2. The Dialect is the Middle Attic, like that of 
 Thucydides. The Augment must therefore be always 
 kept, the forms in acr preferred to those in TT, and 
 the contracted forms must be used.
 
 XVI PREFACE. 
 
 3. Nevertheless some Ionic or Epic forms are used 
 in Tragedy, as IjeTyos, /uoiwos, cue/, Op^ces, /uecraos, 
 y>7, epos, ovvofJia, yovvara, covpi, TroXXos, eiXicrcrw, 
 e'iVe/ca, oi/ve/ca, the uncontracted forms i/oos, pee9pov, 
 eypoos, the gen. eos, for eo>s, as TroXeos. 
 
 4. And some Doric forms : as 'AOdva, Capo's, exan, 
 Kwa'yos, Trooa'yos, Xo^a'yos, oVaoo's, Kcipavov, apape, 
 yd/j.opo$, yaTTOTos. Also the ^Eolic forms Tre^aputos, 
 Treoaopoy, Treoa/^/xtos, /ucxcrcra?!/. 
 
 5. Note the following forms, as belonging to Tra- 
 gedy. 
 
 (a) ecus for aos> as Xetos for Xaos, fea>s for iaos, 
 tXea>s for tXaos, Mei/eXea)9 for MeieXaos.

 (a) GENITIVE 
 
 with eVe/ca understood, as 
 
 TaXaiva TrjcrSe crvfj.<f>opas. 
 
 after adverbs, as 
 
 TTOV yfj? ; TTO? yvwfj.tj<} ; ovrta Opa&ovs. 
 
 after verbs of obtaining, Tvyxavw, Kvpia, dvrdw, 
 but if a thing and person are expressed, then ac- 
 cusative of thing and genitive of person. So also 
 
 with O4COIW, K\V(i).

 The English name Henry is rendered in these pages 
 "EvpiKos. It should rather be "E^IKO?. 
 
 In the Trochaic translation of a serio-comic ballad, which 
 appears p. 209, I have not thought it necessary to enforce the 
 strict rules of Tragic rhythm. Nevertheless there is only one 
 violation of the Porsonian 'Pause', p. 211. v. 7. where they 
 who will may alter e!<p 6 <re[j.vo<; into a-e/jmo-s elire. Another 
 Porsonian canon (not touched upon in the Preface or Sup- 
 plemental Preface to the Hecuba, but announced in Kidd's 
 Tracts) is transgressed eight times. Mr Tate, in his Treatise 
 on Greek Metres, expresses it thus : " If the first dipodia 
 of the verse is contained in entire words (and so as to be 
 followed at least by a slight break in the sense) the second 
 foot is a trochee (or may be a tribrach)." It seems true that 
 the nicety of their ear generally led the Tragic poets to avoid 
 the spondee in such a case: yet it may be doubted whether the 
 Trochaic Tetrameters of extant Greek Tragedy afford induction 
 sufficient to establish the absolute stringency of this canon. Mr 
 Tate examines five verses which appear at variance with it, 
 and he satisfactorily accounts for four of them : but his reason- 
 ing on Orest. 794 is not fully convincing. He has not, more- 
 over, noticed the following : 
 
 Eur. Iphig. Aul. (Ed. Dindorf.) 1391.

 1253. TTO? <^>i>7<0 SJT'; 6K ydp oiKiav irpovXafiov 
 
 But whatever be the force of this canon in Tragedy, it 
 has none in Comedy, and need not be rigorously obeyed in 
 humorous composition.

 The current, that with gentle murmur glides, 
 Thou know'st, being stopped, impatiently doth 
 
 rage; 
 
 But, when his fair course is not hinder'd, 
 He makes sweet music with th' enamell'd stones, 
 Giving a gentle kiss to every sedge 
 He overtaketh in his pilgrimage ; 
 And so by many winding nooks he strays, 
 With willing sport, to the wild ocean. 
 Then let me go, and hinder not my course : 
 I'll be as patient as a gentle stream, 
 And make a pastime of each weary step, 
 Till the last step have brought me to my love ; 
 And there I'll rest, as, after much turmoil, 
 A blessed soul doth in Elysium.

 SHAKSPEARE. 
 
 Know, worthy prince, Sir Valentine, my friend, 
 This night intends to steal away your daughter ; 
 Myself am one made privy to the plot. 
 I know, you have determined to bestow her 
 On Thurio, whom your gentle daughter hates ; 
 And should she thus be stolen away from you, 
 It would be much vexation to your age. 
 Thus, for my duty's sake, I rather chose 
 To cross my friend in his intended drift, 
 Than, by concealing it, heap on your head 
 A pack of sorrows, which would press you down, 
 Being unprevented, to your timeless grave. 
 DUKE Protheus, I thank thee for thine honest care; 
 Which to requite, command me while I live. 
 This love of theirs myself have often seen, 
 Haply, when they have judgM me fast asleep; 
 And oftentimes have purposed to forbid 
 Sir Valentine her company, and my court : 
 But, fearing lest my jealous aim might err, 
 And so, unworthily, disgrace the man 
 (A rashness that I ever yet have shunn'd) 
 I gave him gentle looks ; thereby to find 
 That which thyself hast now disclos^ to me. 
 And, that thou may^st perceive my fear of this, 
 Knowing that tender youth is soon suggested, 
 I nightly lodge her in an upper tower, 
 The key whereof myself have ever kept ; 
 And thence she cannot be conveyed away.

 DUKE. VALENTINE. 
 
 DUKE Sir Valentine, whither away so fast ? 
 
 VAL. Please it your grace, there is a messenger 
 
 That stays to bear my letters to my friends, 
 And I am going to deliver them. 
 
 DUKE Be they of much import ? 
 
 VAL. The tenor of them doth but signify 
 
 My health, and happy being at your court. 
 
 DUKE Nay then no matter ; stay with me awhile ; 
 I am to break with thee of some affairs, 
 That touch me near, wherein thou must be secret. 
 'Tis not unknown to thee, that I have sought 
 To match my friend, Sir Thurio, to my daughter. 
 
 VAL. I know it well, my lord; and sure the match 
 
 Were rich and honourable; besides, the gentleman 
 Is full of virtue, bounty, worth, and qualities 
 Beseeming such a wife as your fair daughter : 
 Cannot your grace win her to fancy him ? 
 
 DUKE No, trust me; she is peevish, sullen, froward, 
 Proud, disobedient, stubborn, lacking duty ;

 Neither regarding that she is my child, 
 Nor fearing me as if I were her father : 
 And, may I say to thee, this pride of her's, 
 Upon advice, hath drawn my love from her ; 
 And, where I thought the remnant of mine age 
 Should have been cherish'd by her child-like duty, 
 I now am full resolv'd to take a wife, 
 And turn her out to who will take her in : 
 Then let her beauty be her wedding-dower ; 
 For me, and my possessions, she esteems not.

 DUKE Why, Phaeton, (for thou art Merops' son,) 
 Wilt thou aspire to guide the heavenly car, 
 And with thy daring folly burn the world ? 
 Wilt thou reach stars, because they shine on thee? 
 Go, base intruder ! over-weening slave ! 
 Bestow thy fawning smiles on equal mates ; 
 And think, my patience, more than thy desert, 
 Is privilege for thy departure hence :

 Thank me for this, more than for all the favours, 
 Which, all too much, I have bestow'd on thee. 
 But if thou linger in my territories, 
 Longer than swiftest expedition 
 Will give thee time to leave our royal court, 
 By heaven, my wrath shall far exceed the love 
 I ever bore my daughter, or thyself. 
 Begone, I will not hear thy vain excuse, 
 But, as thou lov'st thy life, make speed from 
 hence. [exit. 
 
 VAL. And why not death, rather than living torment ? 
 To die, is to be banish'd from myself ! 
 And Sylvia is myself: banish'd from her, 
 Is self from self ; a deadly banishment ! 
 What light is light, if Sylvia be not seen ? 
 What joy is joy, if Sylvia be not by ? 
 Unless it be, to think that she is by, 
 And feed upon the shadow of perfection. 
 Except I be by Sylvia in the night, 
 There is no music in the nightingale; 
 Unless I look on Sylvia in the day, 
 There is no day for me to look upon ; 
 She is my essence ; and I leave to be, 
 If I be not by her fair influence 
 FosterM, illuminM, cherished, kept alive. 
 I fly not death, to fly his deadly doom : 
 Tarry I here, I but attend on death ; 
 But fly I hence, I fly away from life.

 Within these ten days if that thou be^st found 
 So near our public court as twenty miles, 
 Thou diest for it.

 If with myself I hold intelligence, 
 
 Or have acquaintance with mine own desires ; 
 
 If that I do not dream, or be not frantic, 
 
 (As I do trust I am not) then, dear uncle, 
 
 Never so much as in a thought unborn, 
 
 Did I offend your highness. 
 
 DUKE Thus do all traitors ; 
 
 If their purgation did consist in words, 
 They are as innocent as grace itself : 
 Let it suffice thee, that I trust thee not. 
 
 ROS. Yet your mistrust cannot make me a traitor ; 
 Tell me, whereon the likelihood depends. 
 
 DUKE Thou art thy father's daughter, there^s enough.

 So was I, when your highness banished him ;

 Hath not old custom made this life more sweet

 More free from peril than the envious court ? 
 Here feel we but the penalty of Adam, 
 The seasons 1 difference ; as the icy fang, 
 And churlish chiding of the winter's wind ; 
 Which when it bites and blows upon my body, 
 Even till I shrink with cold, I smile, and say, 
 This is no flattery : these are counsellors 
 That feelingly persuade me what I am. 
 Sweet are the uses of adversity ; 
 Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, 
 Wears yet a precious jewel in his head ; 
 And this our ife, exempt from public haunt,

 He is not very tall ; yet for his years he's .tall : 
 
 His leg is but so so ; and yet 'tis well :

 I have more cause to hate him than to love him : 
 
 For what had he to do to chide at me : 
 
 He said, mine eyes were black, and my hair black, 
 
 And, now I am remembered, scorn'd at me : 
 
 I marvel, why I answer'd not again : 
 
 But that's all one ; omittance is no quittance.

 Within an hour ; and pacing through the forest, 
 
 Chewing the cud of sweet and bitter fancy, 
 
 Lo, what befel ; he threw his eye aside, 
 
 And, mark, what object did present itself ! 
 
 Under an oak, whose boughs were mossM with age, 
 
 And high top bald with dry antiquity, 
 
 A wretched, ragged man, o'ergrown with hair 
 
 Lay sleeping on his back : about his neck 
 
 A green and gilded snake had wreath'd itself, 
 
 Who with head, nimble in threats, approached 
 
 The opening of his mouth ; but suddenly 
 
 Seeing Orlando, it unlink'd itself, 
 
 And with indented glides did slip away 
 
 Into a bush : under which bush's shade, 
 
 A lioness with udders all drawn dry 
 
 Lay couching head on ground, with cat-like watch 
 
 When that the sleeping man should stir : for 'tis 
 
 The royal disposition of that beast, 
 
 To prey on nothing, that doth seem as dead : 
 
 This seen, Orlando did approach the man, 
 
 And found it was his brother, his elder brother. 
 
 CEL. O, I have heard him speak of that same brother ; 
 And he did render him the most unnatural 
 That lived 'mongst men. 
 
 OLI. And well he might do so ; 
 
 For well I know he was unnatural.

 MERCHANT OF VENICE. ACT iv. Sc. l 
 
 PORTIA. ANTONIO. BASSANIO. 
 
 POR. Come, merchant, have you any thing to say ? 
 
 ANT. But little; I am arm'd, and well prepared. 
 Give me your hand, Bassanio ; fare you well ! 
 Grieve not that I am fallen to this for you ; 
 For herein fortune shows herself more kind 
 Than is her custom : it is still her use, 
 To let the wretched man outlive his wealth, 
 To view with hollow eye, and wrinkled brow, 
 An age of poverty ; from which lingering penance 
 Of such a misery doth she cut me off. 
 Commend me to your honorable wife : 
 Tell her the process of Antonio's end, 
 Say, how I lov'd you, speak me fair in death ; 
 And, when the tale is told, bid her be judge, 
 Whether Bassanio had not once a love. 
 Repent not you that you shall lose your friend, 
 And he repents not that he pays your debt ; 
 For, if the Jew doth cut but deep enough, 
 I'll pay it instantly with all my heart. 
 
 BASS. Antonio, I am married to a wife, 
 
 Which is as dear to me as life itself; 
 But life itself, my wife, and all the world

 WINTER'S TALE. ACT in. Sc. 3. 
 
 ANTIGONUS. 
 
 Come, poor babe : 
 
 I have heard, (but not believed), the spirits of the dead 
 May walk again ; if such things be, thy mother 
 Appeared to me last night ; for ne'er was dream 
 So like a waking. To me comes a creature, 
 Sometimes her head on one side, some another ; 
 I never saw a vessel of like sorrow, 
 So filled, and so becoming : in pure white robes, 
 Like very sanctity, she did approach 
 My cabin where I lay : thrice bowed before me, 
 And gasping to begin some speech, her eyes 
 Became two spouts ; the fury spent, anon 
 Did this break from her : " Good Antigonus 
 Since fate against thy better disposition 
 Hath made thy person for the thrower out 
 Of my poor babe, according to thine oath, 
 Places remote enough are in Bohemia,

 Is counted lost for ever, Perdita 
 
 I pr'ythee call't ; for this ungentle business 
 
 Put on thee by my lord, thou ne'er shalt see 
 
 Thy wife Paulina more": and so with shrieks 
 
 She melted into air. Affrighted much, 
 
 I did in time collect myself; and thought 
 
 This was so, and no slumber. Dreams are toys : 
 
 Yet, for this once, yea, superstitiously, 
 
 I will be squared by this.

 Fye, fye ! unknit that threatening unkind brow ; 
 And dart not scornful glances from those eyes, 
 To wound thy lord, thy king, thy governor. 
 It blots thy beauty, as frosts do bite the meads : 
 Confounds thy fame, as whirlwinds shake fair buds 
 And in no sense is meet or amiable. 
 A woman moved is like a fountain troubled, 
 Muddy, ill-seeming, thick, bereft of beauty ; 
 And while it is so, none so dry or thirsty

 Will deign to sip, or touch one drop of it. 
 Thy husband is thy lord, thy life, thy keeper, 
 Thy head, thy sovereign ; one that cares for thee, 
 And for thy maintenance : commits his body 
 To painful labour both by sea and land, 
 To watch the night in storms, the day in cold, 
 While thou liest warm at home secure and safe : 
 And craves no other tribute at thy hands, 
 But love, fair looks, and true obedience 
 Too little payment for so great a debt.

 Such duty as the subject owes the prince, 
 Even such a woman oweth to her husband : 
 And when she's froward, peevish, sullen, sour, 
 And not obedient to his honest will, 
 What is she, but a foul contending rebel, 
 And graceless traitor to her loving lord ? 
 I am ashanVd, that women are so simple 
 To offer war, where they should kneel for peace ;

 Hath been but for a wayward son,

 And at the pit of Acheron

 Upon the corner of the moon 
 
 There hangs a vaporous drop profound ; 
 
 I'll catch it ere it comes to ground : 
 
 And that, distilFd by magic slights, 
 
 Shall raise such artificial sprights, 
 
 As, by the strength of their illusion, 
 
 Shall draw him on to his confusion : 
 
 He shall spurn fate, scorn death, and bear 
 
 His hopes 'bove wisdom, grace, and fear :

 And thou wilt have me die assured of it. 
 Thou hid'st a thousand daggers in thy thoughts ; 
 Which thou hast whetted on thy stony heart, 
 To stab at half an hour of my life. 
 What canst thou not forbear me half an hour ? 
 Then get thee gone; and dig my grave thyself; 
 And bid the merry bells ring to thine ear, 
 That thou art crowned, not that I am dead.

 O, my son ! 
 
 Heaven put it in thy mind to take it hence, 
 That thou might'st win the more thy father's love, 
 Pleading so wisely in excuse of it. 
 Come hither, Harry, sit thou by my bed ; 
 And hear, I think, the very latest counsel 
 That ever I shall breathe. Heaven knows, my son, 
 By what by-paths, and indirect crook'd ways, 
 I met this crown ; and I myself know well, 
 How troublesome it sat upon my head : 
 To thee it shall descend with better quiet, 
 Better opinion, better confirmation ;

 SHAKSPEARE, 
 
 For all the soil of the achievement goes 
 
 With me into the earth. It seem'd in me, 
 
 But as an honour snatch'd with boisterous hand ; 
 
 And I had many living to upbraid 
 
 My gain of it by their assistances ; 
 
 Which daily grew to quarrel, and to bloodshed, 
 
 Wounding supposed peace : all these bold fears, 
 
 Thou seest with peril I have answered ; 
 
 For all my reign hath been but as a scene 
 
 Acting that argument ; and now my death 
 
 Changes the mood : for what in me was purchased, 
 
 Falls upon thee in a more fairer sort ; 
 
 So thou the garland wear'st successively. 
 
 Yet, though thou stand'st more sure than I could do, 
 
 Thou art not firm enough, since griefs are green ; 
 
 And all thy friends, which thou must make thy friends, 
 
 Have but their stings and teeth newly ta'en out ; 
 
 By whose fell working I was first advanced, 
 
 And by whose power I well might lodge a fear 
 
 To be again displaced : which to avoid, 
 
 I cut them off; and had a purpose now 
 
 To lead out many to the Holy Land ; 
 
 Lest rest, and lying still, might make them look 
 
 Too near unto my state.

 KING. You all look strangely on me, and you most 
 You are, I think, assured I love you not. 
 
 C. J. I am assured, if I be measured rightly, 
 
 Your majesty hath no just cause to hate me. 
 
 KING. No ! 
 
 How might a prince of my great hopes forget 
 So great indignities you laid upon me ? 
 What ? rate, rebuke, and roughly send to prison 
 The immediate heir of England ? was this easy ? 
 May this be wasrTd in Lethe, and forgotten ? 
 
 C. J. I then did use the person of your father ; 
 The image of his power lay then in me ; 
 And, in the administration of his law, 
 Whiles I was busy for the commonwealth, 
 Your highness pleased to forget my place, 
 The majesty and power of law and justice, 
 The image of the king whom I presented, 
 And struck me in my very seat of judgment ; 
 Whereon as an offender to your father, 
 I gave bold way to rny authority, 
 And did commit you. If the deed were ill, 
 Be you contented, wearing now the garland,

 To have a son set your decrees at nought ; 
 To pluck down justice from your awful bench ; 
 To trip the course of law ; and blunt the sword 
 That guards the peace and safety of your person ; 
 Nay, more, to spurn at your most royal image, 
 And mock your workings in a second body. 
 Question your royal thoughts, make the case 
 
 yours ; 
 
 Be now the father, and propose a son : 
 Hear your own dignity so much profaned, 
 See your .most dreadful laws so loosely slighted, 
 Behold yourself so by a son disdain'd ; 
 And then imagine me taking your part, 
 And, in your power, soft silencing your son : 
 After this cold considerance, sentence me ; 
 And, as you are a king, speak in your state, 
 What I have done that misbecame my place, 
 My person, or my liege's sovereignty.

 And I do wish your honours may increase, 
 
 Till you do live to see a son of mine 
 
 Offend you, and obey you, as I did : 
 
 So shall I live to speak my father's words ; 
 
 " Happy am I, that have a man so bold, 
 
 " That dares do justice on my proper son ; 
 
 " And no less happy, having such a son, 
 
 " That would deliver up his greatness so 
 
 " Into the hand of justice." You committed me, 
 
 For which I do commit into your hand 
 
 Tir unstain'd sword that you have used to bear ; 
 
 With this remembrance, that you use the same 
 
 With a like bold, just, and impartial spirit, 
 
 As you have done 'gainst me. There is my hand : 
 
 You shall be as a father to my youth : 
 
 My voice shall sound as you do prompt mine ear ; 
 
 And I will stoop and humble my intents 
 
 To your well-practised wise directions. 
 
 And, princes all, believe me, I beseech you ; 
 
 My father is gone wild into his grave, 
 
 For in his tomb lie my affections ; 
 
 And with his spirit sadly I survive,

 Therefore doth heaven divide 
 The state of man in divers functions, 
 Setting endeavour in continual motion ; 
 To which is fixed as an aim or butt, 
 Obedience : for so work the honey bees ; 
 Creatures, that, by a rule in nature, teach 
 The act of order to a peopled kingdom. 
 They have a king, and officers of sorts : 
 Where some, like magistrates, correct at home ; 
 Others, like merchants, venture trade abroad ; 
 Others, like soldiers, armed in their stings, 
 Make boot upon the summer's velvet buds ; 
 Which pillage they with merry inarch bring home 
 To the tent-royal of their emperor ; 
 Who, busied in his majesty, surveys 
 The singing masons building roofs of gold ; 
 The civil citizens kneading up the honey ; 
 The poor mechanic porters crowding in 
 Their heavy burthens at his narrow gate :

 58 SHAKSPEARE. 
 
 The sad-eyed justice, with his surly hum, 
 
 Delivering o'er to executors pale 
 
 The lazy yawning drone. I this infer, 
 
 That many things, having full reference 
 
 To one consent may work contrariously ; 
 
 As many arrows loosed several ways 
 
 Fly to one mark ; 
 
 As many several ways meet in one town ; 
 
 As many fresh streams run in one self sea ; 
 
 As many lines close in the dial's centre ; 
 
 So many a thousand actions, once afoot, 
 
 End in one purpose, and be all well borne 
 
 Without defeat. Therefore to France, my liege. 
 
 Divide your happy England into four ; 
 
 Whereof take you one quarter into France, 
 
 And you withal shall make all Gallia shake. 
 
 If we with thrice that power left at home, 
 
 Cannot defend our own door from the dog, 
 
 Let us be worried ; and our nation lose 
 
 The name of hardiness, and policy.

 BED. Hung be the heavens with black, yield day to 
 
 night ! 
 
 Comets, importing change of times and states, 
 Brandish your crystal tresses in the sky ; 
 And with them scourge the bad revolting stars, 
 That have consented unto Henry's death ! 
 Henry the Fifth, too famous to live long ! 
 England ne'er lost a king of so much worth. 
 GLO. England ne'er had a king, until his time. 
 Virtue he had, deserving to command : 
 His brandish'd sword did blind men with his 
 
 beams ; 
 
 His arms spread wider than a dragon's wings ; 
 His sparkling eyes, replete with wrathful fire, 
 More dazzled and drove back his enemies, 
 Than mid-day sun, fierce bent against their 
 
 faces. 
 What should I say ? his deeds exceed all speech :

 PUCELLE. BURGUNDY. 
 
 PUC. Look on thy country, look on fertile France, 
 And see the cities and the towns defac'd 
 By wasting ruin of the cruel foe ! 
 As looks the mother on her lowly babe, 
 When death doth close his tender dying eyes, 
 See, see, the pining malady of France ; 
 Behold the wounds, the most unnatural wounds, 
 Which thou thyself hast given her woeful breast ! 
 O, turn thy edged sword another way ; 
 Strike those that hurt, and hurt not those that 
 
 help! 
 One drop of blood, drawn from thy country's 
 
 bosom, 
 Should grieve thee more than streams of foreign 
 
 gore; 
 
 Return thee, therefore, with a flood of tears. 
 And wash away thy country's stained spots !

 BUR. Either she hath bewitch'd me with her words, 
 Or nature makes me suddenly relent. 
 
 PUC. Besides, all French and France exclaims on thee, 
 Doubting thy birth and lawful progeny. 
 Who join'st thou with, but with a lordly nation, 
 That will not trust thee, but for profit's sake ? 
 When Talbot hath set footing once in France, 
 And fashion'd thee that instrument of ill, 
 Who then, but English Henry, will be lord, 
 And thou be thrust out, like a fugitive ? 
 Call we to mind, and mark but this, for proof; 
 Was not the Duke of Orleans thy foe ? 
 And was he not in England prisoner ? 
 But, when they heard he was thine enemy, 
 They set him free, without his ranson paid, 
 In spite of Burgundy, and all his friends. 
 See then ! thou fight'st against thy countrymen, 
 And join'st with them will be thy slaughter-men. 
 Come, come, return ; return, thou wand'ring lord ; 
 Charles, and the rest, will take thee in their arms.

 TAL. Open your city gates, 
 
 Be humble to us ; call my sovereign yours, 
 And do him homage as obedient subjects, 
 And I'll withdraw me and my bloody power : 
 But, if you frown upon this proffered peace, 
 You tempt the fury of my three attendants, 
 Lean famine, quartering steel, and climbing fire ; 
 Who, in a moment, even with the earth 
 Shall lay your stately and air-braving towers, 
 If you forsake the offer of their love. 
 
 GEN. Thou ominous and fearful owl of death, ' 
 Our nation's terror, and their bloody scourge ! 
 The period of thy tyranny approacheth. 
 On us thou canst not enter, but by death : 
 For, I protest, we are well fortified, 
 And strong enough to issue out and fight : 
 If thou retire, the Dauphin, well appointed, 
 Stands with the snares of war to tangle thee ; 
 On either hand thee there are squadrons pitch'd,

 Speak, thy father's care ; 
 
 Art not thou weary, John ? How dost thou fare ? 
 Wilt thou yet leave the battle, boy, and fly, 
 Now thou art seal'd the son of chivalry ? 
 Fly to revenge my death, when I am dead ; 
 The help of one stands me in little stead. 
 O, too much folly is it, well I wot, 
 To hazard all our lives in one small boat. 
 If I to-day die not with Frenchmen's rage, 
 To-morrow I shall die with mickle age: 
 By me they nothing gain, and if I stay, 
 'Tis but the shortening of my life one day :

 Can you not see? or will you not observe 
 
 The strangeness of his alter'd countenance? 
 
 With what a majesty he bears himself; 
 
 How insolent of late he is become, 
 
 How proud, peremptory, and unlike himself? 
 
 We know the time, since he was mild and affable; 
 
 And, if we did but glance a far-off look, 
 
 Immediately he was upon his knee, 
 
 That all the court admir'd him for submission. 
 
 But meet him now, and be it in the morn 
 
 When every one will give the time of day, 
 
 He knits his brow, and shows an angry eye,

 And passeth by with stiff unbowed knee, 
 Disdaining duty that to us belongs. 
 Small curs are not regarded, when they grin; 
 But great men tremble, when the lion roars; 
 And Humphrey is no little man in England. 
 First, note, that he is near you in descent; 
 And should you fall, he is the next will mount. 
 Me seemeth then, it is no policy, 
 Respecting what a rancorous mind he bears, 
 And his advantage following your decease, 
 That he should come about your royal person, 
 Or be admitted to your highness* council. 
 By flattery hath he won the commons 1 hearts, 
 And when he please to make commotion, 
 'Tis to be fear'd, they all will follow him.

 K. HEN. Aye, Margaret ; my heart is drowned with grief, 
 Whose flood begins to flow within mine eyes ; 
 My body round engirt with misery; 
 For what's more miserable than discontent? 
 Ah, Uncle Humphrey! in thy face I see 
 The map of honour, truth, and loyalty; 
 And yet, good Humphrey, is the hour to come, 
 That e'er I prov'd thee false, or fear'd thy 
 
 faith. 
 
 What lowering star now envies thy estate, 
 That these great lords, and Margaret our 
 
 Queen, 
 
 Do seek subversion of thy harmless life? 
 Thou never didst them wrong, nor no man 
 
 wrong : 
 
 And as the butcher takes away the calf, 
 And binds the wretch, and beats it when it 
 
 strays, 
 
 Bearing it to the bloody slaughter-house; 
 Even so, remorseless, have they borne him 
 
 hence. 
 
 And as the dam runs lowing up and down, 
 Looking the way her harmless young one went, 
 And can do nought but wail her darling's loss ; 
 Even so myself bewails good Gloster's call, 
 With sad unhelpful tears; and with dimm'd 
 
 eyes 
 
 Look after him, and cannot do him good ; 
 So mighty are his vowed enemies.

 KING. O Thou that judgest all things, stay my 
 
 thoughts, 
 
 My thoughts that labour to persuade my soul, 
 Some violent hands were laid on Humphrey's 
 
 life! 
 
 If my suspect be false, forgive me, God ! 
 For j udgment only doth belong to thee. 
 Fain would I go to chafe his paly lips 
 With twenty thousand kisses, and to drain 
 Upon his face an ocean of salt tears; 
 To tell my love unto his dumb deaf trunk, 
 And with my fingers feel his hand unfeeling; 
 But all in vain are these mean obsequies; 
 And, to survey his dead and earthly image, 
 What were it but to make my sorrow 
 
 greater ? 
 WAR. Come hither, gracious sovereign, view this 
 
 body.

 KING. That is to see how deep my grave is made ; 
 
 For, with his soul, fled all my worldly solace, 
 For seeing him I see my life in death. 
 
 WAR. As surely as my soul intends to live 
 
 With that dread King, that took our state upon 
 
 him 
 
 To free us from his Father's wrathful curse, 
 I do believe that violent hands were laid 
 Upon the life of this thrice-famed duke. 
 
 SUFF. A dreadful oath, sworn with a solemn tongue. 
 What instance gives Lord Warwick for his vow? 
 
 WAR. See, how the blood is settled in his face ! 
 Oft have I seen a timely-parted ghost, 
 Of ashy semblance, meagre, pale, and bloodless, 
 Being all descended to the labouring heart; 
 Who, in the conflict that it holds with death, 
 Attracts the same for aidance 'gainst the enemy ; 
 Which with the heart there cools, and ne'er 
 
 returneth 
 
 To blush and beautify the cheek again. 
 But, see, his face is black, and full of blood; 
 His eyeballs further out than when he lived, 
 Staring full ghastly, like a strangled man ; 
 His hair uprear'd, his nostrils stretched with 
 struggling;

 And tugg'd for life, and was by strength subdued. 
 Look, on the sheets, his hair, you see, is sticking; 
 His well-proportioned beard made rough and

 Like to the summer's corn by tempest lodged. 
 It cannot be, but he was murderM here; 
 The least of all these signs were probable.

 The army of the queen hath got the field, 
 My uncles both are slain in rescuing me; 
 And all my followers to the eager foe 
 Turn back, and fly, like ships before the wind, 
 Or lambs pursued by hunger-starved wolves; 
 My sons God knows what hath bechanced them: 
 But this I know, they have demeaned themselves 
 Like men born to renown, by life, or death. 
 Three times did Richard make a lane to me; 
 And thrice cried Courage, father ! fight it out ! 
 And full as oft came Edward to my side 
 With purple falchion, painted to the hilt

 In blood o^ those that had encounter'd him; 
 And when the hardiest warriors did retire, 
 Richard cried Charge, and give no ground! 
 And cried A crown, or else a glorious tomb! 
 A sceptre, or an earthly sepulchre! 
 With this we charged again: but out, alas, 
 We bodged again; as I have seen a swan 
 With bootless labour swim against the tide, 
 And spend her strength with overmatching waves. 
 Ah, hark ! the fatal followers do pursue, 
 And I am faint, and cannot fly their fury; 
 And were I strong, I would not shun their fury. 
 The sands are numbered that make up my life: 
 Here must I stay, and here my life must end.

 That I must yield my body to the earth, 
 
 And, by my fall, the conquest to the foe. 
 
 Thus yields the cedar to the axe's edge, 
 
 Whose arms gave shelter to the princely eagle, 
 
 Under whose shade the ramping lion slept: 
 
 Whose top-branch overpeer'd Jove spreading tree, 
 
 And kept low shrubs from winter's powerful wind. 
 
 These eyes, that now are dimm'd with death's black veil, 
 
 Have been as piercing as the mid-day sun, 
 
 To search the secret treasons of the world; 
 
 The wrinkles in my brows, now fill'd with blood, 
 
 Were liken'd oft to kingly sepulchres; 
 
 For who liv'd king, but I could dig his grave? 
 
 And who durst smile, when Warwick bent his brow ? 
 
 Lo, now my glory smear' d in dust and blood ! 
 
 My parks, my walks, my manors that I had, 
 
 Even now forsake me; and of all my lands 
 
 Is nothing left*me but my body's length ! 
 
 Why, what is pomp, rule, reign, but earth and dust?

 Have I a tongue to doom my brother's death, 
 And shall that tongue give pardon to a slave ? 
 My brother killed no man, his fault was thought, 
 And yet his punishment was bitter death. 
 Who sued to me for him ? who, in my wrath, 
 KneeFd at my feet, and bade me be advis'd ? 
 Who spoke of brotherhood ? who spoke of love ? 
 Who told me how the poor soul did forsake 
 The mighty Warwick, and did fight for me ? 
 Who told me, in the field at Tewkesbury, 
 When Oxford had me down, he rescued me, 
 And said, " Dear brother, live, and be a king ? " 
 Who told me, when we both lay in the field, 
 Frozen almost to death, how he did lap me 
 Even in his garments ; and did give himself, 
 All thin and naked, to the numb cold night ? 
 All this from my remembrance brutish wrath 
 Sinfully pluck'd, and not a man of you 
 Had so much grace to put it in my mind ;

 Who prays continually for Richmond's good : 
 
 So much for that The silent hours steal on, 
 
 And flaky darkness breaks within the east. 
 In brief, for so the season bids us be, 
 Prepare thy battle early in the morning ; 
 And put thy fortune to the arbitrement 
 Of bloody strokes, and mortal staring war. 
 I, as I may, (that which I would, I cannot,) 
 With best advantage will deceive the time, 
 And aid thee in this doubtful shock of arms: 
 But on thy side I may not be too forward, 
 Lest, being seen, thy tender brother George 
 Be executed in his father's sight. 
 Farewell : the leisure, and the fearful time 
 Cuts off the ceremonious vows of love, 
 And ample interchange of sweet discourse, 
 Which so long sunder'd friends should dwell 
 
 upon ; 
 
 God give us leisure for these rites of love ! 
 Once more, adieu : Be valiant, and speed well !

 When I come hither, I was lord high constable, 
 And Duke of Buckingham; now poor Edward Bolum: 
 Yet I am richer than my base accusers, 
 That never knew what truth meant : I now seal it, 
 And with that blood will make them one day groan fbr't.

 Who first raised head against usurping Richard, 
 Flying for succour to his servant Banister, 
 Being distressed, was by that wretch betray 'd, 
 Amd without trial fell ; God's peace be with him ! 
 Henry the Seventh succeeding, truly pitying 
 My father's loss, like a most royal prince, 
 Restored me to my honours, and, out of ruins, 
 Made my name once more noble. Now his son,

 Fell by our servants, by those men we lov'd most ; 
 
 A most unnatural and faithless service ! 
 
 Heaven has an end in all ; yet, you that hear me, 
 
 This from a dying man receive as certain: 
 
 Where you are liberal of your loves and counsels, 
 
 Be sure, you be not loose ; for those you make friends, 
 
 And give your hearts to, when they once perceive 
 
 The least rub in your fortunes, fall away 
 
 Like water from ye, never found again 
 
 But where they mean to sink ye. All good people, 
 
 Pray for me ! I must now forsake ye; the last hour 
 
 Of my long weary life is come upon me. 
 
 Farewell : 
 
 And when you would say something sad, 
 
 Speak how I fell. I have done; and 
 
 God forgive me !

 KING HENRY VIII. ACT in. Sc. 2. 
 
 WOLSEY. 
 
 Farewell, a long farewell, to all my greatness ! 
 This is the state of man; to-day he puts forth 
 The tender leaves of hope, to-morrow blossoms, 
 And bears his blushing honors thick upon him: 
 The third day comes a frost, a killing frost ; 
 And when he thinks, good easy man, full surely 
 His greatness is a ripening nips his root, 
 And then he falls, as I do. I have ventured, 
 Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders, 
 These many summers in a sea of glory ; 
 But far beyond my depth : my high-blown pride 
 At length broke under me; and now has left me, 
 Weary, and old with service, to the mercy 
 Of a rude stream, that must for ever hide me. 
 Vain pomp and glory of this world, I hate ye; 
 I feel my heart new opened : Oh ! how wretched 
 Is that poor man that hangs on princes' favours .'

 That sweet aspect of princes, and our ruin, 
 More pangs and fears than wars or women have ; 
 And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer, 
 Never to hope again.

 ALC. My lords, then, under favour, pardon ine, 
 If I speak like a captain. 
 
 Why do fond men expose themselves to battle, 
 And not endure all threatenings? sleep upon it, 
 And let the foes quietly cut their throats 
 Without repugnancy ? but if there be 
 Such valour in the bearing, what make we 
 Abroad ? why then, women are more valiant, 
 That stay at home, if bearing carry it; 
 And th' ass, more captain than the lion; the felon 
 Loaden with irons, wiser than the judge, 
 If wisdom be in suffering. O my lords,

 As you are great, be pitifully good: 
 
 Who cannot condemn rashness in cold blood ? 
 
 To kill, I grant, is sin's extremest gust; 
 
 But, in defence, by mercy 'tis most just.

 But who is man, that is not angry? 
 
 Weigh but the crime with this.

 But wherefore do you hold me here so long ? 
 What is it that you would impart to me ? 
 If it be aught toward the general good, 
 Let honour in one eye, and death i' the other, 
 And I will look on both indifferently : 
 For let the gods so speed me, as I love 
 The name of honour more than I fear death. 
 CAS. I know that virtue to be in you, Brutus, 
 
 As well as I do know your outward favour. 
 
 Well, honour is the subject of my story 
 
 I cannot tell, what you and other men 
 
 Think of this life ; but, for my single self, 
 
 I had as lief not be, as live to be 
 
 In awe of such a thing as myself. 
 
 I was born free as Caesar ; so were you : 
 
 We both feel as well ; and we can both 
 
 Endure the winters, as well as he. 
 
 For once, upon a raw and gusty day, 
 
 The troubled Tyber chafing with her shores, 
 
 Caesar said to me, " Dar'st thou, Cassius, now 
 
 Leap in with me into this angry flood, 
 
 And swim to yonder point ?" Upon the word 
 
 Accouter'd as I was, I plunged in, 
 
 And bade him follow : so, indeed, he did.

 The torrent roar'd ; and we did buffet it 
 
 With lusty sinews ; throwing it aside 
 
 And stemming it with hearts of controversy. 
 
 But ere we could arrive the point proposed, 
 
 Caesar cried, Help me, Cassius, or I sink. 
 
 I, as JEneas, our great ancestor, 
 
 Did from the flames of Troy upon his shoulder 
 
 The old Anchises bear, so from the waves of Tyber 
 
 Did I the tired Caesar : and this man 
 
 Is now become a god ; and Cassius is 
 
 A wretched creature, and must bend his body, 
 
 If Caesar carelessly but nod on him.

 To be exalted with the threatening clouds : 
 But never till to-night, never till now, 
 Did I go through a tempest dropping fire. 
 Either there is a civil strife in heaven ; 
 Or else the world, too saucy with the gods, 
 Incenses them to send destruction. 
 
 CIC. Why, saw you any thing more wonderful ? 
 
 CAS. A common slave (you know him well by sight,) 
 Held up his left hand, which did flame, and burn, 
 Like twenty torches join'd : and yet his hand, 
 Not sensible of fire, remained unschorchM. 
 Besides, (I have not since put up my sword,) 
 Against the Capitol, I met a lion, 
 Who glar'd upon me, and went surly by, 
 Without annoying me : and there were drawn 
 Upon a heap a hundred ghastly women, 
 Transformed with their fear ; who swore, they saw 
 Men, all in fire, walk up and down the streets. 
 And, yesterday, the bird of night did sit, 
 Even at noon-day, upon the market-place, 
 Hooting, and shrieking. When these prodigies 
 Do so conjointly meet, let not men say, 
 These are their reasons, They are natural ; 
 For, I believe, they are portentous things 
 Unto the climate that they point upon.

 CASS. A very pleasing night to honest men. 
 
 CASC. Who even knew the heavens menace so? 
 
 CASS. Those that have known the earth so full of faults. 
 For my part, I have walk'd about the streets, 
 Submitting me unto the perilous night ; 
 And thus unbraced, Casca, as you see, 
 Have barM my bosom to the thunder-stone. 
 And when the cross blue lightning seeni'd to open 
 The breast of heaven, I did present myself 
 Even in the aim and very flash of it. 
 
 CASC. But wherefore did you so much tempt the heavens? 
 It is the part of men to fear and tremble, 
 When the most mighty gods, by tokens, send 
 Such dreadful heralds to astonish us. 
 
 CASS. You are dull, Casca ; and those sparks of life 
 That should be in a Roman, you do want, 
 Or else you use not : you look pale, and gaze, 
 And put on fear, and cast yourself in wonder, 
 To see the strange impatience of the heavens ; 
 But if you would consider the true cause,

 Why all these things change from their ordinance; 
 
 Their natures, and pre-formed faculties,

 And we are governed with our mothers 1 spirits ; 
 Our yoke and sufferance shew us womanish. 
 
 CASC. Indeed, they say, the senators to-morrow 
 Mean to establish Caesar as a king ; 
 And he shall wear his crown by sea and land, 
 In every place save here in Italy. 
 
 CASS. I know where I will wear this dagger then ; 
 Cassius from bondage will deliver Cassius. 
 Therein ye gods, ye make the weak most strong, 
 Therein ye gods you tyrants do defeat : 
 Nor strong tower, nor walls of beaten brass, 
 Nor airless dungeon, nor strong links of iron, 
 Can be retentive to the strength of spirit : 
 But life being weary of these worldly bars, 
 Never lacks power to dismiss itself. 
 If I know this, know all the world besides, 
 That part of tyranny that I do bear 
 I can shake off at pleasure.

 The evil that men do lives after them ; 
 
 The good is oft interred with their bones ; 
 
 So let it be with Caesar ! The noble Brutus 
 
 Hath told you Caesar was ambitious : 
 
 If it were so, it was a grievous fault, 
 
 And grievously hath Caesar answer 1 d it. 
 
 Here, under leave of Brutus, and the rest, 
 
 (For Brutus is an honourable man ; 
 
 So are they all, all honourable men) 
 
 Come I to speak in Caesar ''s funeral. 
 
 He was my friend, faithful and just to me: 
 
 But Brutus says he was ambitious ; 
 
 And Brutus is an honourable man. 
 
 He hath brought many captives home to Rome, 
 
 Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill : 
 
 Did this in Caesar seem ambitious ? 
 
 When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept : 
 
 Ambition should be made of sterner stuff: 
 
 Yet Brutus says he was ambitious ; 
 
 And Brutus is an honourable man. 
 
 You all did see, that, on the Lupercal, 
 
 I thrice presented him a kingly crown, 
 
 Which he did thrice refuse. Was this ambition ? 
 
 Yet Brutus says he was ambitious ; 
 
 And sure he is an honourable man.

 CLE. I dreamed there was an emperor Antony ; 
 O, such another sleep, that I might see 
 But such another man ! 
 
 DOL. If it might please you 
 
 CLE. His face was as the heavens ; and therein stuck 
 A sun, and moon ; which kept their course, and 
 
 lighted 
 
 The little O, the earth. 
 
 DOL. Most sovereign creature 
 
 CLE. His legs bestrid the ocean ; his rear'd arm 
 Crested the world : his voice was property 'd 
 As all the tuned spheres, and that to friends ; 
 But when he meant to quail, and shake the orb, 
 He was as rattling thunder. For his bounty, 
 There was no winter in 't ; an autumn 'twas, 
 That grew the more by reaping : his delights 
 Were dolphin-like ; they strew'd his back above 
 The element they lived in : in his livery 
 Walk'd crowns, and crownets ; realms and islands 
 
 were 
 As plates drop't from his pocket.

 Hail, Rome, victorious in thy mourning weeds ! 
 So, as the bark, that hath discharged her fraught, 
 Returns with precious lading to the bay, 
 From whence at first she weighed her anchorage, 
 Cometh Andronicus, bound with laurel boughs, 
 To resalute his country with his tears ; 
 
 Tears of true joy for his return to Rome 
 
 Thou great defender of this Capitol, 
 Stand gracious to the rites that we intend ! 
 Romans, of five and twenty valiant sons, 
 Half of the number that king Priam had, 
 Behold the poor remains, alive, and dead ! 
 These that survive, let Rome reward with love ;

 To come betwixt our sentence and our power : 
 (Which nor our nature nor our place can bear,) 
 Our potency made good, take thy reward. 
 Five days we do allot thee, for provision 
 To shield thee from diseases of the world ; 
 And, on the sixth, to turn thy hated back 
 Upon our kingdom : if, on the tenth day fol-

 Thy banish'd trunk be found in our dominions, 
 The moment is thy death. Away ! by Jupiter,

 I'll call them back again to comfort me : 
 
 Nurse ! What should she do here ? 
 
 My dismal scene I needs must act alone. 
 
 Come, phial. 
 
 What if this mixture do not work at all ? 
 
 Must I of force be married to the county ? 
 
 No, no ; this shall forbid it ; lie thou there. 
 
 [Laying down a dagger. 
 What if it be a poison, which the friar 
 Subtly has ministered to have me dead ; 
 Lest in this marriage he should be dishonoured, 
 Because he married me before to Romeo ? 
 I fear it is ; and yet, methinks it should not, 
 For he hath still been tried a holy man ;

 I will not entertain so bad a thought 
 
 How if, when I am laid into the tomb, 
 
 I wake before the time that Romeo 
 
 Come to redeem me ? there's a fearful point ! 
 
 Shall I not then be stifled in the vault, 
 
 To whose foul mouth no healthsome air breathes in, 
 
 And there die strangled ere my Romeo comes ? 
 
 Or, if I live, is it not very like, 
 
 The horrible conceit of death and night, 
 
 Together with the terror of the place 
 
 As in a vault, an ancient receptacle, 
 
 Where, for these many hundred years, the bones 
 
 Of all my buried ancestors are packM ; 
 
 Where bloody Tybalt, yet but green in earth, 
 
 Lies festering in his shroud ; where, as they say, 
 
 At some hours in the night spirits resort ; 
 
 Alack, alack ! it is not like, that I, 
 
 So early waking, what with loathsome smells, 
 
 And shrieks like mandrakes torn out of the earth, 
 
 That living mortals, hearing them, run mad ; 
 
 O ! if I wake, shall I not be distraught, 
 
 Environed with all these hideous fears ? 
 
 And madly play with my forefathers' joints 
 
 And pluck the mangled Tybalt from his shroud ?

 Why art them yet so fair ? shall I believe 
 That unsubstantial death is amorous ; 
 And that the lean abhorred monster keeps 
 Thee here in dark to be his paramour ? 
 For fear of that I will still stay with thee ; 
 And never from this palace of dim night 
 Depart again ; here, here will I remain 
 With worms that are thy chamber maids ; O here 
 Will I set up my everlasting rest, 
 And shake the yoke of inauspicious stars 
 
 From this world-wearied flesh Eyes look your last ! 
 
 Arms take your last embrace ! and lips, O you 
 The doors of breath, seal with a righteous kiss 
 A dateless bargain to engrossing death ! 
 Come, bitter conduct, come, unsavoury guide ! 
 Thou desperate pilot, now at once run on 
 The dashing rocks thy sea-sick weary bark ! 
 Here's to my love ! O, true apothecary ! 
 Thy drugs are quick Thus with a kiss I die.

 Yet here Laertes ! aboard, aboard, for shame, 
 The wind sits in the shoulder of your sail, 
 And you are staid for : there, my blessing with you ; 
 And these few precepts on thy memory 
 See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue, 
 Nor any unproportioned thought his act. 
 Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar. 
 The friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, 
 Grapple them to thy soul with hooks of steel ; 
 But do not dull thy palm with entertainment 
 Of each new hatched, unfledged comrade. Beware 
 Of entrance to a quarrel : but, being in, 
 Bear it that the opposer may beware of thee. 
 Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice : 
 Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment. 
 Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy, 
 But not expressed in fancy ; rich not gaudy :

 THE. Now, proud contemner 
 
 Of us and of our gods, tremble to think 
 It is not in the Power thou serv'st to save thee. 
 Not all the riches of the sea, increased 
 By violent shipwrecks, nor the unsearch'd mines, 
 (Mammon's unknown exchequer,) shall redeem thee: 
 And therefore, having first with horror weighed 
 What 'tis to die, and to die young ; to part with 
 All pleasures and delights : lastly, to go 
 Where all antipathies to comfort dwell ; 
 Furies behind, about thee, and before thee ; 
 And, to add to affliction, the remembrance 
 Of the Elysian joys thou might' st have tasted, 
 Hadst thou not turn'd apostate to those gods 
 That so reward their servants ; let despair 
 Prevent the hangman's sword, and on this scaffold 
 Make thy first entrance into hell.

 Death, looking on her constancy, would forget 
 The use of his inevitable hand.

 That gloriest in having power to ravish 
 A trifle from me I am weary of! 
 What is this life to me ? not worth a thought ; 
 Or, if it be esteem 'd, 'tis that I lose it 
 To win a better : even thy malice serves 
 To me but as a ladder to mount up 
 To such a height of happiness, where I shall 
 Look down with scorn on thee, and on the world ; 
 Where, circled with true pleasures, placed above 
 The reach of death or time, 'twill be my glory 
 To think at what an easy price I bought it.

 I am no God, nor like him could foresee 
 His cruel thoughts and cursed purposes : 
 Nor would the sun at my command forbear 
 To make his progress to the other world, 
 Affording to it one continued light. 
 Nor could my breath disperse those foggy mists, 
 Covered with which, and darkness of the night, 
 Their navy, undiscern'd, without resistance, 
 Beset our harbour ; make not that my fault, 
 Which you in justice must ascribe to fortune. 
 But if that, nor my former acts, nor what 
 I have deliver'd, can prevail with you 
 To make good my integrity and truth, 
 Rip up this bosom, and pluck out the heart 
 That hath been ever loyal. 
 
 Thou searcher of men's hearts, 
 And sure defender of the innocent, 
 (My other trying sins awhile not look'd on,) 
 If I in this am guilty, strike me dead, 
 Or by some unexpected means confirm 
 I am accus'd unjustly.

 MAL. S. Who trained thee up to arms but I ? Who 
 
 taught thee 
 
 Men were men only when they durst look down 
 With scorn on death and danger, and contemn'd 
 All opposition, till plumed Victory 
 Had made h6r constant stand upon their helmets? 
 Under my shield thou hast fought securely, 
 As the young eaglet, cover'd with the wings 
 Of her fierce dam, learns how and where to prey. 
 All that is manly in thee, I call mine ; 
 But what is weak and womanish, thine own. 
 And what I gave, since thou art proud, un- 
 grateful, 
 
 Presuming to contend with him to whom 
 Submission is due, I will take from thee. 
 Look, therefore, for extremities ; and expect not 
 I will correct thee as a son, but kill thee 
 As a serpent swollen with poison ; who, surviving 
 A little longer, with infectious breath, 
 Would render all things near him, like himself,

 Now give me leave, 
 
 My hate against thyself, and love to him 
 Freely acknowledged, to give up the reasons 
 That made me so affected : In my wants 
 I ever found him faithful ; had supplies 
 Of men and monies from him ; and my hopes, 
 Quite sunk, were, by his grace, buoy'd up again 
 He was, indeed, to me, as my good angel 
 To guard me from all dangers. I dare speak, 
 Nay, must and will, his praise now, in as high 
 And loud a key as when he was thy equal. 
 The benefits he sow'd in me, met not 
 Unthankful ground, but yielded him his own 
 With fair increase, and I still glory in it.

 But promise to himself as much as may 
 Be hoped for from a nephew. And 'twere weakness 
 In any man to doubt that Giovanni, 
 Trained up by your experience and care 
 In all those arts peculiar and proper 
 To future greatness, of necessity 
 Must in his actions, being grown a man, 
 Make good the princely education 
 Which he derived from you.

 To the utmost of my power, the trust the duke 
 Committed to me, and with joy perceive

 Instructing those that teach him ; making use,

 Amazes such as hear him : horsemanship, 
 
 And skill to use his weapon, are by practice 
 
 Familiar to him : as for knowledge in

 If it be true, 
 
 Dread sir, as 'tis affirmed, that every soil, 
 Where he is well, is to a valiant man 
 His natural country, reason may assure me 
 I should fix here, where blessings beyond hope, 
 From you, the spring, like rivers flow unto me. 
 If wealth were my ambition, by the queen 
 I am made rich already, to the amazement 
 Of all that see, or shall hereafter read 
 The story of her bounty ; if to spend 
 The remnant of my life in deeds of arms, 
 No region is more fertile of good knights, 
 From whom my knowledge that way may be better'd, 
 Than this, your warlike Hungary ; if favour, 
 Or grace in court could take me, by your grant, 
 Far, far beyond my merit, I may make 
 In yours a free election ; but, alas ! sir, 
 I am not mine own, but by my destiny

 I am flesh and blood, as you are, sensible 
 Of heat and cold, as much a slave unto 
 The tyranny of my passions, as the meanest 
 Of my poor subjects. The proud attributes, 
 By oil-tongued flattery imposed upon us, 
 As sacred, glorious, high, invincible, 
 
 The deputy of heaven, and in that 
 
 Omnipotent, with all false titles else, 
 
 Coin'd to abuse our frailty, though compounded, 
 
 And by the breath of sycophants applied,

 They will prevent my words and tears : if not,

 With grief, work upon such as have changed natures 
 
 With the most savage beast ? Blest, blest be ever 
 
 The memory of that happy age, when justice 
 
 Had no guards to keep off wrong'd innocence 
 
 From flying to her succours, and, in that, 
 
 Assurance of redress ! where now, Romont, 
 
 The damnM with more ease may ascend from hell, 
 
 Than we arrive at her. One Cerberus there 
 
 Forbids the passage, in our courts a thousand, 
 
 As loud and fertile-headed ; and the client

 Must hope for no access : why should I, then, 
 
 Attempt impossibilities ; you, friend, being 
 
 Too well acquainted with my dearth of means

 Hail ! holy earth, whose cold arms do embrace 
 The truest man that ever fed his flocks 
 By the fat plains of fruitful Thessaly. 
 Thus I salute thy grave ; thus do I pay 
 My early vows and tribute of mine eyes 
 To thy still loved ashes ; thus I free 
 Myself from all ensuing heats and fires 
 Of love ; all sports, delights, and jolly games 
 That shepherds hold full dear, thus put I off; 
 Now no more shall these smooth brows be girt 
 With youthful coronals, and lead the dance ; 
 No more the company of fresh fair maids 
 And wanton shepherds be to me delightful, 
 Nor the shrill pleasing sound of merry pipes 
 Under some shady dell, when the cool wind 
 Plays on the leaves ; all be far away, 
 Since thou art far away, by whose dear side

 How often have I sat, crown'd with fresh flowers 
 For summer's queen, whilst every shepherd's hoy 
 Puts on his lusty green, with gaudy hook, 
 And hanging scrip of finest cordevan. 
 But thou art gone, and these are gone with thee, 
 And all are dead but thy dear memory.

 I have a boy, 
 
 Sent by the gods, I hope, to this intent, 
 Not yet seen in the court. Hunting the buck, 
 I found him sitting by a fountain's side, 
 Of which he borrowed some to quench his thirst, 
 And paid the nymph again as much in tears. 
 A garland lay him by, made by himself, 
 Of many several flowers, bred in the bay, 
 Stuck in that mystic order, that the rareness 
 Delighted me : but ever when he turn'd 
 His tender eyes upon 'em, he would weep, 
 As if he meant to make 'em grow again.

 Seeing such pretty helpless innocence 
 
 Dwell in his face, I asked him all his story. 
 
 He told me that his parents gentle died, 
 
 Leaving him to the mercy of the fields, 
 
 Which gave him roots ; and of the crystal springs, 
 
 Which did not stop their courses; and the sun, 
 
 Which still, he thankM him, yielded him his light. 
 
 Then took he up his garland, and did shew 
 
 What every flower, as country people hold, 
 
 Did signify ; and how all, ordered thus, 
 
 Expressed his grief: and, to my thoughts, did read 
 
 The prettiest lecture of his country art 
 
 That could be wish'd : so that, methought, I could 
 
 Have studied it. I gladly entertained 
 
 Him who was glad to follow; and have got 
 
 The trustiest, loving'st, and the gentlest boy 
 
 That ever master kept. Him will I send 
 
 To wait on you, and bear our hidden love.

 For kind and loving hast thou always been. 
 The griefs of private men are soon allayed, 
 But not of kings. The forest deer, being struck, 
 Runs to a herb that closeth up the wounds ; 
 But when the imperial lion's flesh is gored, 
 He rends and tears it with his wrathful paw, 
 And highly scorning that the lowly earth 
 Should drink his blood, mounts up to th 1 air. 
 And so it fares with me, whose dauntless mind 
 Th 1 ambitious Mortimer would seek to curb ; 
 And that unnatural queen, false Isabel, 
 That thus hath pent and mur'd me in a prison ; 
 For such outrageous passions cloy my soul, 
 As with the wings of rancour and disdain 
 Full oft am I soaring up to high heav'n 
 To plain me to the gods against them both. 
 But when I call to mind I am a king, 
 Methinks I should revenge me of the wrongs 
 That Mortimer and Isabel have done. 
 But what are kings, when regiment is gone, 
 But perfect shadows in a sunshine day ? 
 My nobles rule, I bear the name of king.

 KING. Methought, Archimagus, as I was praying 
 
 I' the temple near the sea, ray queen, my sons, 
 Daughters, and train of my nobility, 
 Prostrate before the altar, on the sudden 
 The roof did open, and from heaven a flame 
 Descending on the images of our gods, 
 Began to burn the sacred brows ; from which 
 Many deformed worms and hideous serpents 
 Came crawling forth, and leaped unto our throats, 
 Where, with their horrid circles and embrace, 
 We were almost strangled ; in this fright, me- 
 
 thought 
 
 We fled out of the temple, and as soon 
 We saw a pale man coming from the sea, 
 Attended by a tribe of reverend men, 
 At whose approach the serpents all unchained 
 Themselves, and leaving our imprisoned necks, 
 Crept into the earth : straight all that were with 
 
 me, 
 
 As I had been the prodigy, forsook me, 
 My wife, my children, lords, my servants all,

 Must submit too, humble myself to him,

 This way the noise was, if mine ear be true, 
 My best guide now : methought it was the sound 
 Of riot and ill-managed merriment, 
 Such as the jocund flute, or gamesome pipe, 
 Stirs up among the loose unlettered hinds ; 
 When for their teeming flocks, and granges full, 
 In wanton dance they praise the bounteous Pan, 
 And thank the gods amiss. I should be loth 
 To meet the rudeness and swillM insolence 
 Of such late wassailers : yet, oh ! where else

 With this long way, resolving here to lodge 
 
 Under the spreading favour of these pines, 
 
 Slept, as they said, to the next thicket side, 
 
 To bring me berries, or such cooling fruit 
 
 As the kind hospitable woods provide. 
 
 They left me then, when the grey-hooded even 
 
 Like a sad votarist in palmer's weed, 
 
 Rose from the hindmost wheels of Phoebus' wain.

 I had not thought to have unlocked my lips 
 In this unhallowed air, but that this juggler 
 Would think to charm my judgment, as my eyes, 
 Obtruding false rules pranked in reason's garb. 
 I hate when vice can bolt her arguments, 
 And virtue has no tongue to check her pride. 
 Impostor ! do not charge most innocent nature 
 As if she would her children should be riotous 
 With her abundance ; she, good cateress,

 And hold the dictate of spare temperance : 
 
 If every just man that now pines with want 
 
 Had but a moderate and beseeming share 
 
 Of that which lewdly pampered luxury 
 
 Now heaps upon some few with vast excess, 
 
 Nature's full blessings would be well dispensed, 
 
 In unsuperfluous even proportion, 
 
 And she no whit encumbered with her store ;

 His praise due paid : for swinish gluttony 
 
 Ne'er looks to heaven amid his gorgeous feast, 
 
 But with besotted, base ingratitude, 
 
 Crams and blasphemes his feeder : shall I go on ? 
 
 Or, have I said enough ? To him that dares 
 
 Arm his profane tongue with contemptuous words 
 
 Against the sun-clad power of chastity, 
 
 Fain would I something say, yet to what end ? 
 
 Thou hast not ear nor soul to apprehend 
 
 The sublime notion and high mystery 
 
 That must be uttered to unfold the sage 
 
 And serious doctrine of virginity ; 
 
 And thou art worthy that thou should'st not know 
 
 More happiness than this thy present lot.

 Courted by all the winds that hold them play,

 Through what variety of untried being, 
 
 Through what new scenes and changes must we pass ? 
 
 The wide, the unbounded prospect lies before me, 
 
 But shadows, clouds, and darkness rest upon it. 
 
 Here will I hold. If there's a power above, 
 
 (And that there is all nature cries aloud 
 
 Through all her works,) He must delight in virtue, 
 
 And that which He delights in must be happy :

 And I will tell thee in a few plain words, 
 How he deserved that best, that glorious title. 
 'Tis nought complex, 'tis clear as truth and virtue. 
 He loved his people, deenVd them all his children, 
 The good exalted and depressed the bad : 
 He spurned the flattering crew, with scorn rejected 
 Their smooth advice, that only means themselves, 
 Their schemes to aggrandize him into baseness ; 
 Well knowing that a people in their rights 
 And industry protected, living safe 
 Beneath the sacred shelter of the laws, 
 Encourag'd in their genius, arts, and labours, 
 And happy each as he himself deserves, 
 Are ne'er ungrateful. With unsparing hand 
 They will for him provide : their filial love 
 And confidence are his unfailing treasury, 
 And every honest man his faithful guard.

 4. How shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange 
 land ?

 204 PSALM CXXXVII. 
 
 5. If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right 
 hand forget her cunning. 
 
 6. If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave 
 to the roof of my mouth : if I prefer not Jerusalem 
 in my mirth. 
 
 7- Remember the children of Edom, O Lord, in 
 the day of Jerusalem, how they said, Down with it, 
 down with it, even to the ground. 
 
 8. O daughter of Babylon, wasted with misery; 
 yea, happy shall he be that rewardeth thee, as thou hast 
 served us. 
 
 9. Blessed be he that taketh thy children, and 
 throweth them against the stones. 
 
 II. SAMUEL, i. 19. 
 
 19. The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high 
 places : how are the mighty fallen ! 
 
 20. Tell it not in Gath, publish it not in the 
 streets of Askelon ; lest the daughters of the Philistines 
 rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph. 
 
 21. Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, 
 neither let there be rain upon you, nor fields of offerings :

 II. SAMUKL 1. 
 
 for there the shield of the mighty is vilely cast away, 
 the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed 
 with oil. 
 
 22. From the blood of the slain, from the fat of 
 the mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, 
 and the sword of Saul returned not empty. 
 
 23. Saul and Jonathan were lovely and pleasant in 
 their lives, and in their death they were not divided : 
 they were swifter than eagles, they were stronger than 
 lions. 
 
 24. Ye daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who 
 clothed you in scarlet, with other delights, who put on 
 ornaments of gold upon your apparel. 
 
 25. How are the mighty fallen in the midst of 
 the battle! O Jonathan, thou wast slain in thy high 
 places. 
 
 26. I am distressed for thee, my brother Jonathan : 
 very pleasant hast thou been unto me : thy love to me 
 was wonderful, passing the love of women. 
 
 27- How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of 
 war perished !

 But it is difficult to learn of every man 
 
 Both the soul and the thought and sentiment, before that 
 
 He shall be seen engaged both in the offices and the laws. 
 
 For to me, whosoever directing the whole city 
 
 Lays not hold of the best counsels, 
 
 But from any fear keeps close his tongue, 
 
 (He) appears both now and long since to be most base. 
 
 And whosoever esteems a friend greater than his own 
 
 country, 
 
 Him I hold in no place. 
 By laws such as this I increase this city. 
 
 II. 
 
 For no bad device has sprung up to men 
 Like money this both destroys cities, 
 This banishes men from their homes, 
 This teaches and changes good minds 
 Of men to set themselves to base deeds.

 A worse guest than this into this abode. 
 
 Who, first of all, seeing our master grieving 
 
 Came in, and endured to pass the gates. 
 
 And then, not at all received quietly 
 
 The ordinary attentions, after learning the calamity. 
 
 But if we did not bring any thing, urged us to bring it. 
 
 And now indeed I entertain in the house (plur.) 
 
 As guest, a crafty knave, and some thief.

 There is not to children a more noble privilege than this, 
 Than to be born from a virtuous and good Father. 
 And to marry from among the good. But who being

 That he should leave a disgrace to his children for the 
 
 sake of pleasure.

 For high birth repels calamity 
 More than ignoble birth. For we having fallen 
 Into the extreme of evil have found as friends 
 And relations these who of so great inhabited

 And you to the children and approach near.

 And I will speak, not having any reproach for men, 
 
 But shewing the kindness of what things I gave. 
 
 Who first indeed, though seeing saw in vain, 
 
 Though hearing heard not, but like the phantoms 
 
 Of dreams, for a long time 
 
 Confounded all things promiscuously, and neither knew 
 
 Brick houses turned towards the Sun, nor wood-working, 
 
 But lived buried beneath, like little ants 
 
 In the sunless recesses of caves. 
 
 And there was to them no sign neither of winter 
 
 Nor of flowery spring, nor sure (sign) of fruitful summer. 
 
 But without judgment they conducted every thing, 
 
 Until at length I shewed to them the risings 
 
 Of the stars, and the settings hard to be determined.

 But I do not however wish to grieve you in your evils.

 Nor yet did I think that your proclamations availed so 
 
 much, 
 
 That the unwritten and unsubvertible laws of the gods

 For thus O son it is right to have in mind, 
 
 That all things stand after a father's will. 
 
 For on this account men boast having begotten 
 
 Obedient children to have them in their houses, 
 
 That they may both repay the enemy with evils 
 
 And may honor the friend on an equality with the father. 
 
 But whosoever begets unprofitable children 
 
 What other thing can you say that he does, but that he 
 
 begets 
 Troubles to himself, and much ridicule to his enemies?

 Do you know mortal affairs, what nature they have ? 
 I think indeed not : for whence (should you) ? but hear

 If he shall live to the coining morrow. 
 For the condition of fortune is obscure, whither it will

 But one of the daughters love will sooth, so as not

 To say, and you by learning will gain nothing.

 Be persuaded, hold out to an old woman

 But neither am I a lover of this sentiment, 
 
 Nor ever would I dare it with another doing it. 
 
 And as a proof of these things, in the one case, going to 
 
 Delphi 
 Enquire if I have told you truly the things spoken by 
 
 the oracle: 
 
 In the next case if you find me with the augur 
 Plotting any thing in common, slay me, not by a single 
 Vote, but a double, convicting me both by my own and 
 
 yours. 
 But by an unfounded opinion do not accuse me without 
 
 proof, 
 
 For it is not right without cause either to esteem 
 The bad good, nor yet the good bad. 
 For to cast out a good friend I consider the same 
 As to cast away one's own life, which one loves most. 
 But in time you shall know these things safely, since 
 Time alone shews the just man, 
 But the bad you may learn even in one day.

 (Four Senarii.) But neither does any die after re- 
 ceiving in his bosom many wounds, if life's goal be not

 (Five.) Now had it indeed been possible by weeping 
 (part.) to cure ills, and to raise the dead by tears, gold 
 had been a poorer possession than lamentation, (inf. with 
 art.) But now, old man, this is impracticable (e^a>, with 
 adv.) to bring to light one hidden in the tomb. 
 
 VI. 
 
 (Six.) Never must we felicitate the fortunes of a 
 prosperous man, until his life is now fully finished, and 
 he is dead. For in a brief and small time the gift of 
 evil fortune is wont to destroy all wealthy prosperity, 
 when it suffers change (^/meOicrrrj/uLi) and the gods will 
 this. 
 
 VII. 
 
 (Four.) Why do you praise this? for every man 
 intoxicated is the slave of passion and void of under- 
 standing, and after rashly venting violent language 
 (much tongue) is wont to hear unwillingly the words 
 which he willingly spake. 
 
 VIII. 
 
 (Eight.) How revolves my fate on the god's subtle 
 wheel, and changes its character: as the moon's face can- 
 not abide two nights in the same shape; but from in- 
 visible she first comes forth youthful, brightening and 
 filling up her countenance; and when she is seen in her 
 noblest guise (lit. noblest of herself) she falls away 
 again and comes to nothing.
 
 IN GREEK TRAGIC SENARII. 279 
 
 IX. 
 
 (Four.) For by a man's judgment cities are well 
 administered and a house well, and it is very strong for 
 war : for one wise counsel vanquishes the numerous 
 hands, and with a multitude ignorance is a greater evil. 
 
 X. 
 
 (Four.) There are three virtues, son, which it be- 
 hoves you to exercise ; to honour both the gods and the 
 parents who begat you and the common laws of Greece ; 
 and doing these things, you shall ever have the noblest 
 crown of glory. 
 
 XI. 
 
 (Two.) To all the unfortunate or ill used there is a 
 refuge, honest friends. 
 
 XII. 
 
 (Three.) But I am aware what I suffer, and this is 
 no small evil : for to have no knowledge (inf. with art.) 
 of one's disease (part, accus.) contains some pleasure, and 
 in misfortunes ignorance is gain. 
 
 XIII. 
 
 (Six.) Whatever man, well possessed of substance, 
 (/3ios) with negligence passes by and leaves his house- 
 hold affairs, (/cara) and delighted by melodies runs after 
 this continually, will become profitless (apyos) to his 
 family and city, and to his friends a nobody; for the 
 character ((jfri/crts) is gone when any is the slave of sweet 
 pleasure.

 (Four.) If the god should give me Nestor's (adj.) 
 melody and (that) of the Phrygian Antenor, I could not 
 fill a leaky (person) (^17 ffTeywv), pouring wise words 
 on an unwise man. 
 
 XV. 
 
 (Six.) Do ye think ye could govern a land, if all 
 the people dwelt (TroXtTevo/iAcu) poor without rich men? 
 Good and evil cannot be asunder, but there is a certain 
 commixture, for things to be well. For what a poor 
 man has not, a rich gives, and what we rich do not 
 possess, we attain by employing (part.) the poor. 
 
 XVI. 
 
 (Ten.) Let us go now, boys, to the schools of the 
 wise, seminaries of liberal education (/UOI/O-IKJ?). You 
 ought to add something (to your knowledge) continually 
 day by day, as long as it may be allowed (ee//xi) to 
 learn better things. Now a boy knows how to do any 
 evil without teaching (7r/oot/ca), learning from his own 
 self with no trouble ; but good things he is not wont to 
 remember, even if he receive an instructor, but acquires 
 them with difficulty. Guard against (^tAacrcro/uat) these 
 things then, O youths, with much toil, giving yourselves 
 to the instructions of the wise. 
 
 XVII. 
 
 (Five.) Danaus, the father of fifty daughters, after 
 leaving the Ethiopian land and the Nile's stream, came
 
 IN GREEK TRAGIC SENARII. 281 
 
 to Argos and colonized the city of Inachus, and made a 
 custom that those before named Pelasgiots should be 
 called throughout Greece Danaans. 
 
 XVIII. 
 
 (Three.) I hear that Lydian and Bactrian maidens 
 dwelling beside the river Halys worship the Tmolian 
 goddess Diana through the laurel-shaded grove. 
 
 XIX. 
 
 (Five.) Whatever mortal hath not experienced love, 
 knows not the bond of necessity ; whom I obeying, being 
 thus mastered, have set forth on this journey. For this 
 god both makes the weak to be strong, and the helpless 
 to find a resource.
