390 tary victims a little further down the river; nor indeed when a man has come several hundred miles to die, is it likely that a police-officer can prevent him. Instruction seems the only way in which these poor people can be improved, and that, I trust, they will by degrees obtain from us.

The Vidalaya is a large building divided into two courts galleried above and below, and full of teachers and scholars, divided into a number of classes, who learn reading, writing, arithmetic (in the Hindoo manner,) Persian, Hindoo law, and sacred literature, Sanscrit, astronomy according to the Ptolemaic system, and astrology! There are 200 scholars, some of whom of all sorts came to say their lessons to me, though, unhappily, I was myself able to profit by none, except the astronomy, and a little of the Persian. The astronomical lecturer produced a terrestrial globe, divided according to their system, and elevated to the meridian of Benares. Mount Meru he identified with the north pole, and under the southern pole he supposed the tortoise “chukwa” to stand, on which the earth rests. The southern hemisphere he apprehended to be uninhabitable, but on its concave surface, in the interior of the globe, he placed Padalon. He then shewed me how the sun went round the earth once in every day, and how, by a different but equally continuous motion, he also visited the signs of the zodiac. The whole system is precisely that of Ptolemy, and the contrast was very striking between the rubbish which these young men were learning in a Government esta-

xviii Inequalities depending on the third dimension, which become sensible in the theory of Mercury, disturbed by the earth [3869, &c.] §10

The inequalities depending on the second dimension, which affect the motion in latitude of the disturbed planet, introducing similar ones in the motion of the disturbing planet. These are the only inequalities in latitude, which are sensible in the planetary system, among those which depend on the product of the excentricities and inclinations [3886, &c.] §11

CHAPTER II. INEQUALITIES DEPENDING ON THE SQUARE OF THE DISTURBING FORCE 87

Development of the analytical expressions, given in § 65, 69, of the second book. They result from the influence, which the inequalities with a long period have on the terms depending on the square of the disturbing masses [3890, &c.]. The variations of the exoentricities and perihelia may introduce similar inequalities in the mean motions; but, it is proved, that the terms, which arise from these inequalities, mutually destroy each other [3906']. Hence it follows, that the mean motions and the great axes suffer no alteration by the effect of these terms [3906"] § 12

Variations of the excentricities, of the perihelia, of the nodes, and of the inclinations, arising from the second power of the disturbing masses [3908—3936] § 13, 14

These variations do not alter the relations, found in the second book, between the elements of the orbits [3964, &c.] § 15

Examination of the terms of the order of the square of the disturbing masses, which have a sensible influence on the great inequalities of Jupiter and Saturn [3970, &c.] § 16

Corrections which must be introduced in the mean motions of these two planets, in consequence of their great inequalities [4006', &c.] § 17

The coefficients of the inequalities of the planets vary, on account of the secular variations of the elements of the orbits. Method of noticing this subject [4017, &c.] § 18

CHAPTER III. PERTURBATIONS DEPENDING ON THE ELLIPTICITY OF THE SUN 161

This ellipticity gives to the perihelion of the planet a direct motion; and to the nodes of the orbit, upon the plane of the solar equator, a retrograde motion, equal to the preceding [4037', 4045']. These motions decrease rapidly as the distance from the sun increases; they are sensible only in Mercury [4046]. The sun's ellipticity, having no influence on the excentricity of the orbit, nor on the inclination, cannot alter the stability of the solar system [4046] § 18'

CHAPTER IV. PERTURBATIONS OF THE MOTIONS OF THE PLANETS, ARISING FROM THE ACTION OF THEIR SATELLITES 168

These perturbations are found by the theorems of § 10, of the second book. Their magnitudes depend on the masses of the satellites, in comparison with that of the planet, and on their elongations, as seen from the sun. They are sensible only in the theory of the earth disturbed by the moon [4054] § 19

CHAPTER V. CONSIDERATIONS ON THE ELLIPTICAL PART OF THE RADIUS VECTOR, AND ON THE MEAN MOTION OF A PLANET § 20 171

Rh blishment, and the rudiments of real knowledge which those whom I had visited the day before had acquired, in the very same city, and under circumstances far less favourable. I was informed that it had been frequently proposed to introduced an English and mathematical class, and to teach the Newtonian and Copernican system of astronomy; but that the late superintendent of the establishment was strongly opposed to any innovation, partly on the plea that it would draw the boys off from their Sanscrit studies, and partly lest it should interfere with the religious prejudices of the professors. The first of these arguments is pretty much like what was urged at Oxford, (substituting Greek for Sanscrit,) against the new examinations, by which, however, Greek has lost nothing. The second is plainly absurd, since the Ptolemaic system, which is now taught, is itself an innovation, and an improvement on the old faith of eight worlds and seven oceans, arranged like a nest of boxes.

The truth is, that even the pundit who read me this lecture, smiled once or twice very slily, and said, “our people are taught so and so,” as if he himself knew better. And Mr. Prinsep afterwards told me that learned Brahmins had sometimes said to him, that our system was the most rational, but that the other answered all their purposes. They could construct almanacs, and calculate eclipses tolerably by the one as well as the other, and the old one was quite good enough, in all conscience, to cast nativities with. Nor can we wonder at

“For love of me, I pray thee, do it not,” Hagen spake:

“Lest otherwise these warriors perchance the deed mistake

And think that I had risen, through fear, upon my feet.

For such as her and her kind I’ll never leave my seat!

“For both of us ‘twere better, methinks, to let it be.

Why should I do her honour who bears such hate to me?

Nay, that will I do never as long as I have life;

Nor care I for the hatred of royal Etzel’s wife!”

The overweening Hagen across his knees laid down

A bare and shining weapon, upon whose pommel shone

A very brilliant jasper, greener than any sward.

Kriemhilda well remember’d that it was Siegfried’s sword.

When she that sword remember’d a grief it needs must be;

The hilt of it was golden,  its sheath red broidery.

It brought to mind her sorrow; her tears began to fall;;

I ween the hardy Hagen had therefor done it all.

Upon the bench towards him  the valiant Volker drew

A fiddle-bow, a strong one, and long and mighty, too,

Which to a sword had likeness, right keen and broad of blade

The pair of doughty heroes thus sat there undismay’d.

The valiant twain so lordly seem’d, in their own conceit,

They did not deem it fitting to stand up from their seat

For fear of man or woman. Whereon, with foe-like mien,

Nigh to their feet, to greet them, came up the noble queen.

She spake: “Now tell me, Hagen, who sent to bid you here,

That riding in our country thou darest to appear?

Thou, too, who so well knowest what thou hast done to me?

Hadst thou been well adviséd thou best hadst let it be.”

“No one hath sent to fetch me,” Hagen in answer said:

“But hither to this country three warriors you bade;

My masters they are calléd, to them I service owe.

On any royal journey I scarce could fail to go.”

Said she: “Now tell me further, how was it thou didst that

For which thou hast deservéd my everlasting hate?

Thou was it who didst Siegfried, my well-loved husband, slay;

Whom I must mourn for ever until my dying day.”

He spake: “What boots that further? Of talk we have no need.

I am that selfsame Hagen who did to death Siegfried,

The mighty-handed hero. How dearly he repaid

The flouts which Dame Kriemhilda on fair Brunhilda laid!

“It is not to be doubted, O great and mighty queen,

Of all your baleful sorrows that I have guilty been.

Now be it man or woman, let them avenge who will;

Though I should then gainsay you, I’ve done you grievous ill.”

Said she: “Now hark ye, warriors, he doth not e’en deny:

That he hath work’d my sorrow! What may befall thereby

To him, ye men of Etzel, of no account I hold.”

Then look’d on one another those haughty thanes and bold.

It doubtless had befallen, whichever had begun

The strife, that these two comrades the honour would have won;

Seeing how oft in battle they gallantly had fought.

In dread the others shrank from  the deed they had in thought.

Then spake one of the warriors: “Why look ye so on me?

From what I erewhile promised I would that I were free!

For sake of no one’s largesse would I forego my life.

Ay! to our ruin go we, led by King Etzel’s wife.”

Whereafter spake another: “To that same thought I hold;

Were anyone to give me whole towers of good red gold,

I’d care not to contend with that fiddler willingly,

For dread of the swift glances that in his eyes I see.

“Hagen have I known also, and from his early youth:

Thus little can be told me about that knight, forsooth!

In two-and-twenty battles I’ve seen him, in the strife;

Whereby hath heartfelt sorrow befallen many a wife.

“On many a foray went they, he and the Spaniard,

When they were here with Etzel; ofttimes a battle hard

They fought for the king’s honour; and many such befell;

Whereof one must of Hagen much to his honour tell.

“At that time this same warrior was but a child in years,

They who were then but youngsters, how gray are now their hairs!

Now he is come to wisdom, a man of ruth is he.

And eke he wieldeth Balmung, won by foul treachery.”

With that the thing was settled,— that none should strike a blow.

Whereby the queen was stricken unto the heart with woe.

The heroes all disbanded: fearful lest death indeed

Be dealt them by the fiddler: in sooth they had good need.

Then spake anon the fiddler: “We have right plainly seen

That foemen here beset us, as we forewarn’d have been.

Now to the court return we and seek the sovrans there:

That no one, then, our masters to meet in strife may dare.

“How oft a man, faint-hearted, will let a chance slip by,

When if a friend beside him upheld him cheerfully

And with good understanding, he would not do the same.

Right many a man by forethought is saved from loss and shame.”

“Where you go I will follow,” Hagen was quick to say;

Then back into the courtyard forthwith they took their way,

Where still in grand assembly waited the knightly crowd.

And then the valiant Volker began to speak aloud

And say unto his masters: “How long here will ye stay

To let yourselves be crowded? To court ye should away,

And from the king discover what he in mind may have.”

Then might one see forgather the heroes good and brave.

The prince of Bern, Sir Dietrich, took hold of by the hand

Gunther, the mighty ruler of the Burgundian land.

Irnfried was fain with Gernot, that right bold man, to fare,

And Rüdeger went walking to court with Giselher.

Howe’er the rest companion’d, and so to court pass’d on,

Betwixt Volker and Hagen of parting there was none,

Save only in one struggle, which ended their two lives,

And caus’d sad weeping later to many noble wives.

Upon the kings attending one saw to court go then

Their nobly-born retainers, a thousand gallant men;

And sixty warriors also along with them had come;

The same that valiant Hagen had brought with him from home.

And Haward eke and Iring, a pair of chosen worth,

By one another walking, went with the sovrans forth.

Dankwart and also Wolfhart, a thane of courage rare;

These well before the others upheld their honour there.

When came the lord of Rhineland within the palace door,

Etzel, the mighty monarch refrained himself no more,

But from his seat upsprang he, seeing him entering,

A better greeting never was given by a king.

“Be welcome, my lord Gunther, and you, lord Gernot, too,

And Giselher, your brother. My zealous service true,

I have already sent you to Worms beyond the Rhine.

And all your followers also shall welcome be as mine.

“I bid a hearty welcome to you, ye knightly pair,

To Volker the right valiant and eke to Hagen there,

From me and from my lady, unto this land of mine.

She messengers in plenty hath sent ye to the Rhine.”

Hagen of Tronjé answered: “So heard I, more than once!

And had I for my masters not come unto the Huns,

Yet would I you to honour have ridden to this land.”

The noble host then kindly his guests took by the hand;

And to the seat he brought them where he himself had sat,

Then to the guests they offer’d (they busily did that),

In wide-mouth’d golden goblets, wine, mead and mulberry,

And bade to the newcomers a welcome heartily.

Then spake the royal Etzel: “I will to you confess

Naught in this world could give me a greater happiness

Than ye have given me, heroes, in coming thus to me;

Whereby the queen is also from mickle grief set free.

“And ofttimes have I marvell’d what was the fault in me—

So many guests right noble have I been wont to see—

That ye unto my country to come did never deign?

But now that I have seen you to joy is turn’d my pain.”

Said Rüdeger in answer (a knight of noble mood):

“Well may you see them gladly; their faith indeed is good,

And all my lady’s kinsfolk the same can well uphold;

They bring unto your palace full many a warrior bold.”

The even of Midsummer, at mighty Etzel’s court

These princes made their entry; and seldom hath report

Told of such royal welcome as on these chiefs he spent.

Now was it time for eating; and all to table went.

Amidst his guests more nobly a host ne’er took his seat.

For them there was abundance whereof to drink and eat,

And everything they wanted it was all ready made;

For truly of these heroes great marvels had been said.

Now was the daylight ended and night began to close.

Amid the wayworn warriors disquietude arose

For when they were to rest them and to their beds begone.

This mooted was by Hagen; and soon it was made known.

Unto the host spake Gunther: “God grant you long to live!

We now would hence to slumber; we pray thee leave to give.

We’ll come to-morrow morning if thou dost order so.”

Right pleasantly agreed he, and bade his guests to go.

One saw the people crowding the guests on every side.

Then Volker the undaunted unto the Hunfolk cried:

“How dare ye get in front of the warriors’ very feet?

If ye will not give over with trouble ye will meet.

“A fiddle-stroke so heavy on one of you I’ll lay,

That, hath he a well-wisher, that same may rue the day.

Give place there to us warriors! ’twill be the best for you.

Folk call ye knights, but little ye have akin thereto.”

Vagg Hollow is a marshy spot on the old Roman Road near Ilchester, where "things" are seen. Merchandise was formerly fetched inland from the canal-boats at Load-Bridge by waggons this way.

"HAT do you see in Vagg Hollow, Little boy, when you go In the morning at five on your lonely drive?" "—I see men's souls, who follow Till we've passed where the road lies low, When they vanish at our creaking!

"They are like white faces speaking Beside and behind the wagon— One just as father's was when here. The waggoner drinks from his flagon, (Or he'd flinch when the Hollow is near) But he does not give me any.

"Sometimes the faces are many; But I walk along by the horses, He asleep on the straw as we job; And I hear the loud water-courses, And the drops from the trees in the fog, And watch till the day is breaking,

 to the rashers. For ours is a hungry country, if such there be in England; a place, I mean, where men must eat, and are quick to discharge the duty. The air of the moors is so shrewd and wholesome, stirring a man's recollection of the good things which have betided him, and whetting his hope of something still better in the future, that by the time he sits down to a cloth, his heart and stomach are tuned too well to say "nay" to one another.

Almost everybody knows, in our part of the world at least, how pleasant and soft the fall of the land is round about Plover's Barrows farm. All above it is strong dark mountain, spread with heath, and desolate, but near our house the valleys cove, and open warmth and shelter. Here are trees, and bright green grass, and orchards full of contentment, and a man may scarce espy the brook, although he hears it everywhere. And indeed a stout good piece of it comes through our farmyard, and swells sometimes to a rush of waves, when the clouds are on the hill-tops. But all below, where the valley bends, and the Lynn stream goes along with it, pretty meadows slope their breast, and the sun spreads on the water. And nearly all of this is ours, till you come to Nicholas Snowe's land.

But about two miles below our farm, the Bagworthy water runs into the Lynn, and makes a real river of it. Thence it hurries away, with strength and a force of wilful waters, under the foot of a barefaced hill, and so to rocks and woods again, where the stream is covered over, and dark, heavy pools delay it. There

40 farther advanced in arts and civilization than the present Indian in that region, —a people who, we may well suppose, were the ancestors of the Mexicans. Yet we see at this time little more than log-houses belonging to miserable tenants of white people. All the sugar used by the people here is obtained from the maple tree. Fossil coal is found along the banks. There is a creek pouring forth Petroleum, about one hundred miles from Pittsburg on the Alleghany, called Oil Creek, which will blaze on the application of a [20] match. This is not uncommon in countries abounding in bituminous coal. Nitre is found wherever there are suitable caves and caverns for its collection. The people here are rather boisterous in their manners, and intemperate in their habits, by what we saw and heard, more so than on the other side of the river where slavery is prohibited. Indeed slavery carries a black moral mark with it visible on those whose skins are naturally of a different colour; and Mr. Jefferson's opinion on the influence of slavery on the whites, justifies our remark.

We stopped one day and night at the flourishing town of Cincinnati, the largest city in the Western country, although laid out so recently as 1788. It is twenty miles above the mouth of the Great Miami, and four hundred and sixty-five miles below Pittsburg. It appears to great advantage from the river, the ground inclining gradually to the water. Three of us had an evidence of that by a mischievous trick for which we deserved punishment. We were staring about

Rh He had exchanged his expectation of becoming a red Indian for the equally wistful aspiration of becoming completely reconciled to life. It was his hopeless hope that some time he would have an experience that would act on his life like alchemy, turning to gold all the dark metals of events, and from that revelation he would go on his way rich with an inextinguishable joy. There had been, of course, no chance of his ever getting it. Literally there wasn't room to swing a revelation in his crowded life. First of all, at his father's death he had been obliged to take over a business that was weighted by the needs of a mob of female relatives who were all useless either in the old way, with antimacassars, or in the new way, with gold-clubs; then Kitty had come along and picked up his conception of normal expenditure, and carelessly stretched it as a woman stretches a new glove on her hand. Then there had been

14 the difficult task of learning to live after the death of his little son. It had lain on us, the responsibility, which gave us dignity, to compensate him for his lack of free adventure by arranging him a gracious life. But now, just because our performance had been so brilliantly adequate, how dreary was the empty stage!

We were not, perhaps, specially contemptible women, because nothing could ever really become a part of our life until it had been referred to Chris's attention. I remember thinking, as the parlor-maid came in with a card on the tray, how little it mattered who had called and what flag of prettiness or wit she flew, since there was no chance that Chris would come in and stand over her, his fairness red in the firelight, and show her that detached attention, such as an unmusical man pays to good music, which men of anchored affections give to attractive women.

Kitty read from the card:

 shoot wide of the mark. But about a month after the storm, as Sir Philip and Edith were talking in their accustomed manner, he pressing her to clear up his doubts, and she sadly and silently hanging down her head, her love for him prevailed, and she said at last, "Well then if it must be so, come to the back of our house tomorrow evening, at four o'clock, and wait by the door of the garden wall till I open to you. But if you die, your death will be of your own seeking, and my soul shall soon follow yours, for I am not able to live apart from you, my true knight. But if you will enter this perilous tourney, put on a surcoat of green, a green cap, and be prepared to lie closely and privily." With that she burst into tears and clung to her lover, weeping as if her heart was rent in twain. But Sir Philip was overjoyed at her words, and went to his comrade the lawyer, and told him that the Romance was getting into its last books. "And John," said he, "prepare choice skins, and cut your quills very aptly, for I will have my marriage deeds executed by you and by none else." At this the lawyer puckered up his mouth, and put his hand to his head, for musing, he conceived that rolls pertaining to other matters might have to be made out. But he willingly obtained for Sir Philip a green surcoat and cap of soft cloth; "She will make you hide among leaves," said he. "So I suppose" answered the knight, "and look you, I'll have my sword not very far from me, and if there be a burial, 'twill not be of a Meyrick of Caerwent." So, like a knight of færy, he went all in green,

 to the appointed place, by a door in a high wall; and sat down on the grass, with his hand on his sword, looking somewhat grimly on it, for Master Torlesse had put him to great inconvenience and trouble, and he would have relished no task better than that of piercing this sour old devil to the heart. It was on occasions of this kind that Sir Philip's jaws shut tight down, and his brows and moustache went up, and between ourselves I should have preferred to let him alone, if I had seen him in such a mood, for to speak the truth when he was in the humour, and his teeth were clenched, he would have fought all the hosts of hell. Requiem aeternum, he was a true son of Gwent and a very perfect knight. But when the dials marked four of the afternoon, Sir Philip heard a gentle rustle at his back, and looking up he saw the door slowly open, and his lady standing with a pale face, beckoning to him. Then did Sir Philip enter, and found himself in a thick grove of trees, growing close to one another, and after that with one long and solemn kiss they had kissed each other's lips, she set him in his place, where he could lie down and look through the leaves, and forwithforthwith [sic] left him, telling him not to stir nor make a sound, on peril of his life. And for the next hour or two the knight had full leisure allotted him, wherein to meditate on this strange case, and what he was to see that should explain his sweetheart's foreknowledge of the storm. As for the garden he found it ordinary enough, in nothing different from other closes, unless for one or two flowers of exceeding sweet fragrance

 and rare beauty, the which he had never seen before. But when he had turned over everything in his mind a good many times, and was feeling puzzled, weary, and very thirsty, he saw a tall old man, grey-bearded and hawk-nosed, come into the midst of the pleasaunce from the house, the same being in fact Master Torlesse, and his habit was a dark brown cloak with long hanging sleeves of tawny yellow, a black undervest, and a yellow cap on his head, shaped like a cap of maintenance, having on the front of it a jewell in silver, being the image of an eagle holding a serpent in its beak. And in his right hand was a long black wand, and from his baldrick hung a sword, and what Sir Philip saw afterwards you will find in the chests of the Court In Banco Domini of the old Lordship and Grand Seigneury of Burgavenny. The which parchments are marked on the outside "In the affair of the pardon of Philippus Meyrick de Caerwent, Miles Auratus, for the murder of Mauritius called Torlesse, a man of unknown lineage and estate." And as I myself, by the favour of the Clerk, have seen these strange documents, have indeed fingered them and held them under my nose for many hours together till I seemed to hear an ancient law-man reciting and droning the dim old story in my ears, I will make an abbreviature and digest of it for you using as far as I can the phrase of the original. The which beginneth somewhat as follows. In the year of our Saviour MCCCLXXII, the forty-fifth year of our Sovereign Lord King Edward third of that name since the Conquest, the fourth of our Lord

And Prior Clement the above-named ecclesiastic, being honourably received by us, and we having allowed him to plead in the place of the Canon Ambrosius, he has humbly sued that a pardon shall be made out, granted, and published to the person named Philip Meyrick, a knight, who, having been delivered into the hands of our Master Sergeant, is now in the prison of the Court, and there awaits his trial on the ground that he did violently and maliciously take away the life of a certain Maurice Torlesse, an inhabitant of this town, unduly, unlawfully, feloniously and against the peace of our Lord Jehan, third of that name. And we having consented to receive this petition and to hear testimony and witness upon it, so that, if it may be, it shall be supported, buttressed, and firmly established out of the mouths of several persons, who have professed themselves willing to give evidence before us, Guillaume de Oskington, on this behalf; we have caused

Whilst spake the fiddle-player so wrathfully his mind,

The valiant Hagen turn’d him, and gave a glance behind

Said he: “The gallant minstrel hath warn’d you properly

Ye heroes of Kriemhilda back to your homes go ye.

“The plan ye are devising will not come off, I trow.

Come back to-morrow morning if ye have aught to do,

And leave us weary strangers this night to rest in peace;

I ween that heroes ever so do in such-like case.”

Anon the guests were taken into a roomy hall,

Which found they well provided, to suit the warriors all,

With richly furnish’d bedsteads, that were both wide and long.

The while Dame Kriemhild plotted to do them grievous wrong.

Right goodly mats from Arras all round about were spread,

Of bright-hued wool-stuffs woven; and many a cover-bed

Wrought of Arabian samite, the finest that might be;

Whereon were borders broider’d that shone right gloriously.

The coverlets of ermine did many a man espy,

And others of black sable, whereunder they might lie

And pass the night in comfort until the dawn of day.

A king and all his courtiers so softly never lay.

“O woe, for this night’s sojourn!” so spake young Giselher

“And woe for all my comrades who hither with us fare!

Howbeit that my sister so kind a bidding gave,

By cause of her, I fear me, we all our deaths shall have.”

 HE HURKAS were young married people and all that was known about them was that they had a fine establishment. They lived in the finest street in Prague, their rooms occupied a whole story and were full of everything which, according to current notions, is indispensable to comfort. As to Pan Hurka it was thought that he was a millionaire. His name headed all public subscriptions with a considerable sum: he took part in every new scheme both in word and deed, he was a railway shareholder, he set afloat a coal-mining company and among his nobler passions must be reckoned a fondness for gambling at cards in which pursuit he showed himself a model gentleman.

About his particular business but little was known. Some said he lived on his capital, others as broker and money-lender, and people in general agreed that he was the owner of mines, and a farm somewhere or other, and took it for granted that he had plenty of everything. Company enough was invited by the Hurkas, not indeed very select as to taste or education but such as makes pretentions to luxurious evening entertainments, and the guests of the Hurkas always went away thoroughly contented. People there were indeed who calculated the money squandered at these festivities, but above these, as water above a stone, always closed the plausible truism that one cannot live like that without the wherewithal.

There were, however, people independent of the Hurkas and with long memories, among whom it was pretty generally admitted that Pan Hurka was a crafty charlatan and that those games and mines existed more in his imagination and in his wishes than in reality and that he was in truth so stretching the last thread that he might pick up a wealthy bride, but these murmurers were silenced one and all when the rich bride appeared and not long after her marriage came in for a large property, for both her parents died and she was an only daughter and sole heiress. After this occurrence everything was ascribed to Pan Hurka with perfect certainty of which he had given himself out to be possessor, public opinion endowed him with mines and farms and added also everything beforehand of which, perhaps, at a later date it would have been glad to find him possessed.

 our clerk to write down the matter of their depositions, so that the truth of this affair may be the more clearly known and understanded. And in the first place has come before us John of Gloucester, a lawyer of the Chancery of this Lordship, who has read to the Court the relation of this affair taken down by him in cursive characters from the lips of Sir Philip Meyrick, to the which document Sir Philip Meyrick has affixed his seal in token that it is the truth. And in this deed is shown how the petitioner having become enamoured of Mistress Edith Torlesse. (Here I shall leave out a page, for we have heard all this before) and that after he had lain hidden in the grove, as he conceives for the space of two hours, he saw the late Maurice Torlesse come into the garden and stand in the midst thereof, holding in his hand a long wand, the which is now in the keeping of the court. And he affirms that up to this time it was as fine and as dry a day, as he had ever seen, and that there were no clouds to be made out from one side of heaven to the other. But he states that Maurice Torlesse, standing in the midst of the close, first struck the earth with his wand, then throwing up both his hands, with the palms turned out and open. Forthwith the ground began to tremble and shake, and to heave up and down, sending out evil vapours, which curled in wreaths and floated in the air. Then Maurice Torlesse struck the earth a second time, pronouncing with a loud voice the name Sabiao; and the earth shook more violently, and in the one place piled itself into the similitude of

 With these general sentiments Pan Hurka was very content, and as we have seen, did everything in his power to cause it to strike deep root in the grounds of faith. Every one found a warm welcome at his home, he borrowed money, he lent it out at interest, Christians and Jews gave the hand of friendship to one another under his roof, and what matters if there were more Jews than Christians?

Pani Hurka, whom her husband called Caroline or, more shortly, Karla had not chosen Hurka as her husband for love’s sake. She had had in her youth a romance with a young brewer, a citizen son of Prague whom she had adored with all the warmth of a girlish heart. Brewer Havel loved her with genuine affection and it must be admitted that they were made for another. People even said that they would form a pair to realize the dream of an artist. But Havel did not suit Karla’s parents because he was a brewer and, “you know, my dear, anything but refined”, so when Pan Hurka knocked at their door and began to give an account of his far-reaching plans and bold speculations they soon bowed Havel out of the house and became partisans of Pan Hurka. It caused Karla many a sleepless night and many a salt tear but the daughter was finally overruled by her parents’ persistency and when, not long after, Havel, out of pique as it was said, married some one else, Karla almost mechanically gave her hand to Hurka. Havel had tasted the honey and Hurka had only got wife and money.

We cannot say that Karla would have made her first lover an exemplary wife. In Hurka’s home she had not hitherto given a thought to her special calling, or if she gave it a thought it was more in connection with Havel’s home than her own. Complete indifference ruled in her own establishment and she was mistress only so far as Hurka was master. For the rest he might undertake what he chose, he might look about for anything to please her, he might prepare her any sort of pleasant surprise—she shared in his amusements with as much spiritual warmth as a third person might have done to whom he had given an account of them.

She received visitors because it was the custom, she was in society not because she felt a need of diversion but because she could not excuse herself and she conversed with people not because her heart prompted her but because she had ears and could not help herself. Pan Hurka was well aware of his wife’s state of mind and nothing leads me to suppose that he took much

 mountains, and in another fell as it were into valleys; and springs of water burst forth and flowed between the hills like to brooks and rivers. Then was the bare earth covered with grass and trees and cornfields, and whilst the wizard continually uttered invocations (which the petitioner does not recollect, for he professes not to be a clerk, and affirms moreover that with this wild monstrous work his brain was muddled) slowly was built up in a valley below a bare round hill, twice the height of an ant-hill, the walls of a town, and the houses of it, and without one gate was a castle, and without the other gate a quire. Then the mansions and churches and farmsteads and cabins appeared on the face of the country around, and cattle and horses and sheep were made, and last of all men and women walking through the town, or labouring in the fields. Then did Sir Philip Meyrick perceive that he saw before him in little, the likeness of the town of Abergavenny; and the hills were the Blorenge, and Skirrid, and Sugar Loaf, and the streams the Honthy and Gavenny and Uske. But as he beheld this wonder the wreaths of accursed smoke, which came forth from the earth, began to mix with one another, and to gather together, and spread out above the earth, like clouds, and to drift across the mountains, as Maurice Torlesse continually waved his wand above them. Then did they change to a black colour, and seemed like ink, and the wizard smote the earth, where it resembled the cleft of the Great Skirrid, and flame gushed out from the end of the wand and ran all along the clouds as it had

 pains to cure her of it. He was complete master at home, no one stood in his way, he might even speculate with her fortune, according to his inclination, he might play at cards all night, he might be at home or not as he pleased. Even the servants did not grumble at their mistress. She never scolded them, she did not tire them with many orders nor was she too particular about their work. Everything appeared as it really went on, there were no subterfuges; no one had to complain of the mistress nor did any one really love her, and the lady bore with them all.

It was a condition of married life such as we see frequently. Tenderness was not yet developed in Karla. She did not live with her husband in any sort of intimacy, and if her husband was at home, it seemed as natural to her as that day should follow night, if he went away she was as little apprehensive about him as about the coming of night.

Formality ruled her world: she felt no pressing wants and the warmth of her conjugal affection was no greater than her appetite for the fifth course at table. She enjoyed it but she did not need it.

Karla’s intelligence was moreover such as we frequently find. She was cultivated because it is necessary to be so and people expect something of the sort. Neither Karla’s parents nor her instructors nor herself understood what is the true substance of a cultivated mind. Her instructors developed in her a series of merely mechanical accomplishments, spiritual warmth and earnestness slept like the combustible matter in a piece of wood, when it is taken out of the fire. She learnt to read and read—but only because there were books in the world: if there had not been any she would not have yearned for them. She took a walk in her books so to speak—like an indifferent man in a fine country. If you ask him what he has seen in it, he will tell you that there are trees in it and also grass.

A rose is a rose to him because it is not called a nettle, a butterfly is a butterfly to him because it flutters over the wild flowers in a manner different from a bird.

In the most beautiful gallery he sees only frames, painted canvass. He pauses before a picture because people are talking about it and many are standing before it. He who has not soul sees soul nowhere and where the mind has no innate loftiness, neither Tiziano nor Michelangelo can win a hearing. Karla’s cultivation was like that of many a girl and woman. They know more or less, but no one cares to talk about it with them. Their

 been lightning, and a noise of thunder began to sound, and the clouds poured forth a storm of rain upon the earth. But whilst all this was being done in little by art magic and devilish contrivance, the same was being performed in great, and in truth a very terrible storm of rain and thunder had fallen on Abergavenny, and the church bells were set ringing, at the sound whereof the wizard laughed aloud, and smote his clouds asunder so that he might look down upon the town and see here a burnt mansion, here a heap of ruins, and here a man scorched and blackened with the forking fire, or struggling for his life in the flood. But as he gazed thus, it is supposed that he must have glanced at his own garden, and so have seen Sir Philip Meyrick hiding amidst the trees; for without more ado, he drew his sword, and rushed furiously towards him, leaving the storm to take care of itself. And the petitioner deposeth that seeing this dreadful wizard coming thus with sword in hand, he was in some dismay, not for fear of his adversary's arm, but for terror of his art; and also because he was an old grey beard, whom to kill would bring no honour nor worship. Yet, seeing no choice in the matter, and not wishing to die by hands so vile and abominable, he called upon the Heavenly Host and especially upon his patron St. Philip the Apostle, and drawing his sword, went forth against Maurice Torlesse, and had need of all his capacity, or else he affirms he would have been pierced through at the first onset. But never has he had so bitter a fight, in any battle oversea against knights of renown

 and fame, mighty warriors clad cap-a-pé in steel harness, as against this old man, for the sword of him seemed to dart from all quarters at once, and ever sought to home within his heart. And in this fight Sir Philip Meyrick received ten grievous wounds, some of which did put his life in danger, but at last, he suddenly stepped back, and with all the hatred of his soul whirling his sword aloft cleft the wizard from top to toe, so that he died not long after. And at the death of him all his fantastic device of mountains and streams and the walled town seemed to melt away, and the clouds also as they appeared, in thin wreaths; and at that time the veritable storm of heaven ceased to rage. And this he professes is the whole truth of the matter, no more and no less, wherefore he craves of his liege Lord Jehan, third of that name, misericorde and pardon, for that the late Maurice Torlesse was a right foul and pestilent wizard, to send whom to his eternal torment of hell-fire was well done and thankworthy. And here endeth the relation and prayer of Sir Philip Meyrick, Knight of Caerwent; the which deed we have read and inspected, and declare that it is duly signed, sealed, witnessed, and attested.

Next have come before us, Guillaume de Oskington, Masters Robin Pyatt and Samuel Owen, surgeons, who state that they have had experience in sword cuts, spear thrusts, hacks, stabs, and the like wounds, having been in the wars oversea against the French and Spaniards. And they declare themselves to be competent persons, sufficiently

“Now let your mind be easy,” Hagen the thane answer’d:

I will from now till morning myself keep watch and ward;

And well I swear to guard you until the break of day.

Till then be all untroubled; then, save himself who may!”

Then bow’d they all before him and gave him thanks therefore,

And to their beds betook them: nor was it long before

Laid down in rest and slumber was every goodly man.

To don his arms the hero— Hagen the bold—began.

Then up and spake the minstrel, Volker the gallant thane:

“If thou dost not disdain it, then, Hagen, I am fain

To-night to keep guard with thee, until the morning break.”

Right heartily the hero his thanks to Volker spake:

“Now God in Heaven reward you, Volker, my comrade true!

To none in all my troubles save only unto you

Would I for aidance turn me, if need should e’er befall.

One day I will repay you, if Death do not forestall.”

Then in their shining raiment they twain their bodies clad,

And each of them his buckler upon his forearm had.

They went without the castle to stand the gateway by,

And there the guests they guarded: ’twas done right faithfully.

Volker the ever-ready then from his arm unbraced

His shield—it was a good one— which ’gainst the wall he placed.

Back to the hall he hasten’d, and there his fiddle seized,

And as became a hero, his friends therewith he pleased.

 cultivation is like the playing of an indifferent actor. If you catch a few words you will soon know all the rest down to the last full stop. The actor himself does not know why he is made to talk as he does, his soul has no share in it all and his tones. are bristling with disgust: in place of soul memory plays the part.

Even Karla knew more or less, but just as a sleeping person hears a lively conversation—he hears the words but he does not understand their meaning. To know much is not happiness: but how we know something, how we ourselves add to it—in this lies the true test of knowledge. Karla visited the theatre, like others; she clapped, when she heard others clap. And when she went out of the theatre she was as little purified and exalted as when she entered.

That holy instinct which opens its thousand doors of inward life to a woman’s heart, the spring tide of feeling and of all sweet scents, with which the zephyrs of a gentle mind disport themselves: she had indeed some conception of it once, when the passion for Havel inspired her with the full breath of a warm spring. But this spiritual insight did not last long, the lamp was extinguished and if memory sometimes melted in the light of that dawning, it only vaguely smote her with a dim desire for the truth.

Even Havel was enshrined more in her memory than her soul and when she saw that fate had for ever separated him from her, she preserved him indeed in memory but was not constrained to tears.

With all her indifference, however, she felt extremely lonely and would have been unhappy had she been capable of feeling unhappiness. She was not herself alone to blame, the age in which she was brought up was at fault. If they had taught her less and striven rather to awaken her sleeping soul she would have even acquired more knowledge. She would also have acquired the power of self-analysis, and that is a priceless treasure in adversity. He is not happy who is merely incapable of feeling his unhappiness. Those who are incapable of great suffering are incapable of great pleasure. We delight in tragedies because they render us capable of the highest pleasure. Only the stunted generation of Karla’s contemporaries and with it Karla herself objected to seeing tragedy because everything turned out dolefully.

Karla’s spiritual inheritance was to her what alms are to a beggar. Do not blame her, she had many like her. They were

 a whole generation who vainly warmed themselves in the sunshine of art. At the moment certainly, they felt themselves touched by something agreeable, but when they turned away it was winter in their hearts again. They were a whole generation who considered artists a mere beggarly caste. How poor would have been that generation, if art had not unrolled before them its treasures! Karla belonged to that beggarly age though she never begged for alms. Her education had taught her certain movements that she might not be unattractive, it had taught her certain rules that she might know when she was to blush, but instruction never so came home to her that she could be her own instructor. They taught her even to sketch a little that she might have patterns for embroidery. They taught her a little music, because the piano when properly handled gives out a pleasant sound.

But with it all Karla never once caught the fire of enthusiasm, with it all her spirit continued poor and narrow, without parents, without roof, without home, without clothing, and without warmth. She even learnt something of rhetoric, but as many others learn, the phrases were indeed in her as in grammarians, she got them by rote with the printer’s errors and no fire of enthusiasm breathed upon them to kindle them into life. Her very thoughts moved only in a set circle of phrases and in that grass-grown bed no single flower expanded into beauty or originality.

The fashionable maxims of that generation had but little profundity, and it is to be understood that Karla did not rise above her generation. The maxims of utility ruled supreme, and therefore people were advised only to read books from which it was possible to draw some definitive advantage. Girls might only find amusement in books with which they could conclude a holy alliance. Patriotism entered into their programme that they might feel themselves somebodies and cut a pretty figure in the world: female virtue was preserved because without it there was some difficulty in procuring a husband. The spiritual ties uniting society were weighed in the balance and measured by the ell: if nobleness did not come under the shopkeepers’ measure it was assumed to be of little general utility with mercenary minds; people went to church and paraded themselves triumphantly before the world because they had been to church. They felt the brotherhood of race, but only as people of one castle, against all others they fortified and barricaded themselves.

 learned in the ancient physical authors, and have produced for our satisfaction divers parchments the which we have read and find them sufficient witness and surety for the aptness of these persons. Who declare that they have made examination of the body of Sir Philip Meyrick, and have found upon it ten wounds, being about the head, midriff, arms and breast, and they declare that five of these wounds are grievous and should have been mortal, had not the blood of the wounded man been pure and uncorrupted, and his strength very great. And they have also examined the body of the late Maurice Torlesse, and find that it was cleft into two equal parts by a most admirable and artificial stroke, the which no bone or sinew could resist. And they have found no other wound upon the dead man, from his head to his feet. But craving the indulgence and consideration of the Court, they have prayed us to look favourably upon the accused knight, saying that a man who cuts so clean is too good for the axe or halter, since there are no traces of bungling or awkwardness about his handiwork.

Next has come before us Mistress Edith Torlesse, the sweetheart of Sir Philip Meyrick, who has shown us how this affair came about, confirming in all respects the words of the knight. And having lifted her veil, at our desire, she has answered all such questions as we have thought fit to put her, in a modest and maidenly manner; only with great difficulty confessing her father to have been a man in all respects malicious and cruel, but could say nothing

 as to his parentage, nor from whence he came at the first, for she knew nought on these matters. And having been interrogated by us, as to how she knew when her father was about to do these works of the devil, she has replied that from his laughter and glee she ever knew when he had this operation in his mind. And being further questioned by us, for what cause was it that her father would not give her in marriage, or allow her to meddle with love affairs, the which, obiter dicendo, we Guillaume de Oskington affirmed to be the natural, fit, and laudable employment for so rare a beauty and perfect grace of maidenhood; she has answered to us, not without blushes, that it was for fear lest her lover might come to be informed of her father's practices, and so bring him to ruin. And hereupon we have ended our interrogation, and have had this maiden honourably escorted back to her own house.

And lastly has come before us Dom. Anthony Flambard, a Canon of the Cathedral Church of St. Paul, in the City of London; an ecclesiastic well acquainted with the Canon Law, and a very sound and capable divine. Who, having read all the depositions relating to this affair of the murder of Maurice called Torlesse, and having talked at length with Sir Philip Meyrick and Mistress Edith Torlesse, has come to a thorough understanding of the matter; and has declared to us the whole nature and essence of the incantations whereby storms and tempests are drawn down to earth. And all his opinions and doctrines he has confirmed and maintained out of Holy Writ, the holy Fathers and

title: Page:The Chronicle of Clemendy.pdf/299


text:
Page:The Chronicle of Clemendy.pdf/300

 Doctors of the Church, and out of the works of learned men of the Universities of Salamanca and Padua; so that in all of what he has said there are no mistakes at all. And he declares that this operation and invocation of tempests is done by means of devils and fiends of hell, and that it is a foul sin and shame in any Christian man to do such works. Wherefore he is of opinion (speaking with all submission toward my Lord Jehan de Hastings, third of that name, and this honourable Court) that Maurice Torlesse was fitly punished by the hands of Sir Philip Meyrick. Though he declares that he would this accursed wizard could have been taken alive and delivered into the hands of Holy Church, that a fit punishment might have been meted out to him, who was not worthy of so knightly a death.

And we, Guillaume de Oskington, having received authority from my Lord Jehan, third of that name, Baron of Burgavenny, Earl of Pembroke, Lieutenant of Acquitaine, and Lord Marcher of Wales, in this behalf, for that our Lord aforesaid is now beyond seas in the service of our Lord the King; and having power in this affair either to give doom of death or life whichever shall seem good to us; having duly gone through all the evidence that could be brought before us, and having examined Sir Philip Meyrick of Caerwent, both publickly and privily, have determined to grant the petition of Clement la Touche, Prior of the Convent of St. Mary, the same being proctor for the Canon Ambrosius, as is aforesaid. And we have

title: Page:The Chronicle of Clemendy.pdf/300


text:
Page:The Chronicle of Clemendy.pdf/301

 therefore caused a pardon to be made out in the form accustomed and sealed with the Great Seal of my Lord Jehan; and have decreed that Sir Philip Meyrick shall be forthwith enlarged from his captivity and be no more in the custody of our Master Sergeant; and that no fines nor amercements of any kind be taken from him, on this behalf, neither now, nor hereafter.

So the old record ends, and under the name of the good judge is the great waxen seal of the Barons of Burgavenny; which in those days was strong enough to open dungeons and shut them, to kill or to save. Hence it was that Sir Philip and Edith were brought together before the altar of the conventual church of St. Mary's, and became the bravest couple in all Gwent. And the first thing that Sir Philip did, after he had received Maurice Torlesse his estate by right of his wife, was to bear a thousand pieces of gold to the Prior, that the roodscreen and loft, with a fair rood and images of St. Mary and St. John, might be forthwith executed, the which was done so sumptuously and honestly that there was not another to compare with it in all the Marches of Wales. And every year Sir Philip made an oblation of a hogshead of French wine to the monastery, and he made build also the chapel of St. Philip, having an altar of alabaster, and a shrine adorned with jewells, and stories annealed in the window o'er the altar: and this he did because the saint had succoured him in his great necessity. And here he and his wife were buried, when they had lived for long years together happily and

title: Page:The Chronicle of Clemendy.pdf/301

Page:The Chronicle of Clemendy.pdf/302

 their last day was done, and a glorious tomb was made over them carved with images, and coat armour, very specially and decently cut out. But all this chapel, has since been ruined and prophaned by wicked men, on whose heads may God's curse alight, both here and hereafter. But the Prior Clement la Touche said to the Cellarer "Next time, Brother Toricellus, have a little more faith." In such wise was renewed again the house of Meyrick, and so firmly established that it hath never been more prosperous than now. But you see how foolishly the old wizard conducted his affairs, and what an ass he was to think he could subdue the God of Love, and shut his doors upon lovers. It was this folly of his that brought death and dishonour to him at last; for I daresay that if he had behaved like a sensible man, and treated Sir Philip courteously and honourably, his son-in-law would have looked over his little eccentricities and let him die in peace. But I suppose he would have made him live a good way off, because a father-in-law who deals in storms and is in the habit of pumping thunder, is by no means a desirable neighbour. However I dare say everything happened for the best, and certainly Sir Philip and his sweetheart got on very well without this unpleasant old personage, who not content with being a wizard, must needs be also a fool. But let all of us ever serve our Liege Lord Love, and worship him with a perfect worship; swearing still by the Ladies and the Peacock.

So did Nick Leonard bring his tale of the Lady of the

 Lattice to an end; and we clapped our hands, for we had relished it mightily all through, and thought it might compare with the story of Abergavenny told by Master Ambrose. The musicians praised it also to excess, for they had not heard anything quite like this before; though I should suspect that some fine strokes were lost upon them. And while we were discussing and pointing out to these good fellows the beauties and Silurian wisdom of the relation, we began to wonder at the marvellous art and grammar of the old wizard, who was able to perform such a magistery. All of us agreed that there is no such work done in our days, and Mosca said, "If you, sir, had not so clearly and evidently shown the matter to us, I should have thought this a thing impossible to men." "Why, signor," answered Nick, "you must know that it is not altogether of faith to believe the story, though I myself credit it entirely; as I do everything set forth and approved by the good judge Guillaume; and he it is plain believed every word of Sir Philip's deposition, or else had not granted him pardon. But I must in honesty tell you there is another account of the affair done at the House with the Lattice; the source of which is the mouths of evil-speakers, who are always ready to spit upon dead men's graves and to defile honourable families. These fellows tell us that Sir Philip was a profligate and idle rascal, my sweet Edith a harebrained foolish wench, and Maurice Torlesse an honest grave gentleman, who with much ado tried to keep his daughter a virtuous woman. And they declare that Sir

Beneath the doorway sat he upon a seat of stone;

A braver fiddle-player in sooth had ne’er been known.

With such sweet-sounding music upon the strings he play’d,

That all the high-born strangers their thanks to Volker paid.

The sweet clang of his viol made all the house resound.

His strength and skill together right excellent were found.

More softly and more sweetly to fiddle he began,

And lull’d upon their couches full many a troubled man.

And when they all were sleeping, and he thereof was sure,

The thane took up his buckler upon his arm once more,

And went outside the chamber before the tower to stand,

To guard the sleeping strangers against Kriemhilda’s band.

When halfway spent the night was, or earlier it might be,

The gallant Volker, watching, a shining helm could see

Far off amid the darkness. ’Twas one of Kriemhild’s men,

Who all to do a mischief unto the guests were fain.

Then spake the fiddle-player: “My friend, Sir Hagen, there,

Together it is fitting that we this trouble share.

I’ve seen some folk in armour before the house but now,

Else I am much mistaken, they’ll set on us, I trow.”

“Then hold thy peace,” quoth Hagen, “and let them nearer come.

Or ever they can see us, our swords will have struck home

And split their helmets for them, with double-handed might.

We’ll send them back to Kriemhild, methinks, in sorry plight!”

 Philip murdered the poor man in cold blood, and with his sweetheart concocted all the strange story of the incantation, because the elder would not give this rakish wastrel his daughter. But who would credit such an idle story? None I believe but a foolish, malicious personage, whose heart was galled with the dignity and worship of a right illustrious, honourable and ancient house. However 'tis of no more use to get warm and use strong language concerning this matter than any other; for trust me, gentlemen, all things are solved by sitting still, and not by walking about with cheeks puffed out with big words. Come Tom, spit out a tale, but by the Dogstar and the full moon in glory, let's have no more of your devilish alchemists or any theological tales or records." The good Rubrican was hurt by this address, for he had a great notion of his story of Caldicot, the which he considered a moral and profitable relation; however he suffered the insult to pass and stroked his stomach softly for a few seconds, then put his finger to his nose, and thus began.

One of the Hunnish warriors had soon enough espied

That guarded was the doorway; how suddenly he cried:

“The matter we intended,  in sooth will not go well.

T see the fiddle-player standing as sentinel!

“A brightly polish’d helmet upon his head hath he

Of pure, hard-temper’d metal, and strong, and blemish-free.

His hauberk’s rings are glowing as fiery embers would.

By him stands also Hagen: the guests have watchmen good.”

Forthwith they turn’d them backwards. When Volker that espied,

Again to his companion in wrathful voice, he cried:

“Now let me from the palace after the warriors go;

Of Dame Kriemhilda’s liegemen somewhat I fain would know.”

“Nay, do it not,” said Hagen; “TI pray you by my love!

These ever-ready warriors,  if from the house you move,

Would with their swords, I doubt not, bring you such straits to face,

That I should have to help you, were ’t death to all my race.

“For whilst we two together are busy in the fray,

Some two or four among them will to the house away,

And quickly force an entrance, and some foul mischief do

Unto our sleeping comrades, which we shall ever rue.”

Then Volker spake in answer: “Let it be settled so;

But that I’ve seen them coming at least we’ll let them know,

So Kriemhild’s men hereafter shall never dare deny

That they would fain against us have wrought vile treachery.”

With that, towards them Volker sent forth a lusty shout:

“Ye nimble knights, in armour why go ye thus about?

Ye warriors of Kriemhilda, if ye on foray ride,

Myself and my companion ye should have at your side!”

No word there came in answer. Then wrathful wax’d his mood:

“Fie on ye, skulking rascals!” shouted the hero good;

“Would ye have caught us sleeping, and murder’d every one?

So foul a deed on heroes hath never yet been done.”

Unto the queen right truly was told how lucklessly

Her messengers had prosper’d. Good cause for grief had she.

Then otherwise contrived she: so cruel was her mood;

By which ere long to perish were heroes bold and good.

“So cold I feel my armour:” quoth Volker presently,

“Methinks the night is wearing and soon will ended be;

I mark that by the breezes; ’twill very soon be day.”

Then many a man awoke they who still in slumber lay.

The morning light broke over the guests within the hall.

Hagen began on all sides the warriors to call,

To know if to the Minster to matins they would fare.

Meanwhile, in Christian fashion, the bells were chiming clear.

 * Provided, That when such improvements are to federally owned facilities, such funds may be provided in advance on a non-reimbursable basis to an entity operating affected transferred works or may be deemed non-reimbursable for non-transferred works;

 * Provided further, That the calculation of the non-Federal contribution shall provide for consideration of the value of any in-kind contributions, but shall not include funds received from other Federal agencies;

 * Provided further, That the cost of operating and maintaining such improvements shall be the responsibility of the non-Federal entity;
