     summary: 'tis to glory we steer, To add something more to this wonderful year: To honour we call you, not press you like slaves: For who are so free as the sons of the waves? Hearts of oak are our ships, Gallant tars are our men; We always are ready: Steady, boys, steady! Hearts of oak, etc. Britannia triumphant, her ships sweep the sea; Her standard is Justice-- her watchword, Be free!

     summary: The old days are full of dead old loves of ours, Born as a rose, and briefer born than she; Couldst thou not watch with me? IX Could two days live again of that dead year, One would say, seeking us and passing here, _Where is she?_ and one answering, _Where is he?_ What far delight has cooled the fierce desire That like some ravenous bird was strong to tire On that frail flesh and soul consumed with flame, But left more sweet than roses to respire, Villon, our sad bad glad mad brother's name? ENVOI Prince of sweet songs made out of tears and fire, A harlot was thy nurse, a God thy sire; Shame soiled thy song, and song assoiled thy shame.

     summary: Ah that such sweet things should be fleet, Such fleet things sweet! In sign of sweet things taken hence; Yea, for their sake and in death's favour Things of sweet shape and of sweet savour We yield them, spice and flower and wine; Yea, costlier things than wine or spices, Whereof none knoweth how great the price is, And fruit that comes not of the vine.

     summary: The transformation on which the story turns is found also in Chaucer's _Wife of Bath's Tale_, in Gower's tale of _Florent and the King of Sicily's Daughter_; (_Confessio Amantis_, Book I.) in the ballad of _King Henry_ (page 147 of this volume); and in an Icelandic saga of the Danish king Helgius, quoted by Scott in his illustrations to _King Henry, Minstrelsy_, iii. 274. This ballad was communicated to Sir Walter Scott, (_Minstrelsy_, iii. 195,) by Mr. William Laidlaw, who took it down from recitation.

In like manner, William Malmesbury, speaking of a Danish king's assuming the profession of a scald, expresses it by _professus_ mimum; which was another name given to the minstrels in middle latinity.[1109]

     summary: Before that Sir Thomas Overbury, in his Character of a Milkmaid, had written: She dares go alone and unfold her sheep in the night, and fears no manner of ill, because she means none: yet, to say truth, she is never alone, she is still accompanied with old songs, honest thoughts, and prayers, but short ones. He had been zealously engaged that winter going about among his ancient musical friends collecting old songs for me, when he caught a chill and died.

Then home rode the abbot of comfort so cold, And he mett his shepheard a going to fold: How now, my lord abbot, you are welcome home; What newes do you bring us from good King John? Sad newes, sad newes, shepheard, I must give; That I have but three days more to live:

     summary: Then Gordon swarved the maine-mast tree, He swarved it with might and maine; But Horseley with a bearing arrowe, Stroke the Gordon through the braine; And he fell unto the haches again, And sore his deadlye wounde did bleed: Then word went through Sir Andrews men, How that the Gordon hee was dead. Hadst thou been fond, he had been false, And left thee sad and heavy; For young men ever were fickle found, Since summer trees were leafy.

Crazy pacifists, like myself, may find it almost unbearably bitter to think that on each side of various frontiers young men were being trained to sing themselves to death, in a struggle which was hideously impersonal, a struggle of machinery, in which the only winners were the armament manufacturers.
