THE rank and file now nearly found complete,
And full enough an enemy to beat,
Young Reynold, nephew of famed Charlemain,
By chance came by: the spark they tried to gain,
And, after treating him with

At length the magick cup mas made appear;
But no way Reynold could be led to drink:
My wife, cried he, I truly faithful think,
And that's enough; the cup can nothing more;
Should I, who sleep with two eyes, sleep with four?

Slain by the Trojans, and in that long war
When of the rings the measur'd booty made
A pile so high, as Rome's historian writes
Who errs not, with the multitude, that felt
The grinding force of Guiscard's Norman steel,
And those the rest, whose bones are gather'd yet
At Ceperano, there where treachery
Branded th' Apulian name, or where beyond
Thy walls, O Tagliacozzo, without arms
The old Alardo conquer'd; and his limbs
One were to show transpierc'd, another his
Clean lopt away; a

like this
Were but a thing of nought, to the' hideous sight
Of the ninth chasm.

To
paraphrase the words of Aristotle, Sophocles purifies the affections of
pity and awe in the hearts of his audience by
representing
to them
ideal men and women suffering huge misfortunes; broken it may be
on the wheel of fortune, but not vanquished, because their heroic will
is invincible.

=--Among the small, but infinitely plentiful and therefore
very potent things to which science must pay more attention than to the
great, uncommon things, well-wishing[21] must be reckoned; I mean those
manifestations of
friendly
disposition in intercourse, that laughter of
the eye, every hand pressure, every courtesy from which, in general,
every human act gets its quality.

Universal Anthology - v04 |

the ‘thm red line’ he had more than met his match Conclusions were tried upon the
field of Waterloo, where 50,000 Britons put to flight 70,000 Frenchmen— for the Prussians, our
allies, arrived too late for the battle With a ringing British cheer our men charged down the slope
and the enemy broke and fled We now come on to the great Reform Bill of 1 832, the first of those
beneficent reforms which have made British liberty what it is and marked us off from the less
fortunate nations [etc , etc ]
The date of the book was 1888 Dorothy, who had never seen a history book
of this description before,
examined
it with a feeling approaching horror
There was also an extraordinary little ‘reader’, dated 1863 It consisted mostly
of bits out of Fenimore Cooper, Dr Watts, and Lord T ennyson, and at the end
there were the queerest little ‘Nature Notes’ with woodcut illustrations There
would be a woodcut of an elephant, and underneath m small print ‘The
elephant is a sagacious beast He rejoices m the shade of the Palm Trees, and
though stronger than six horses he will allow a little child to lead him His food
is Bananas ’ And so on to the Whale, the Zebra, and Porcupine, and the
Spotted Camelopard There were also, in the teacher’s desk, a copy of
Beautiful Joe 3 a forlorn book called Peeps at Distant Lands } and a French
phrase-book dated 1891.
