It is it huge gray tower, that has stood the brunt of ages, and is still in good preservation. A great flight of steps leads to the interior. lii the armoury, a Gothic hail, idled with wealionti of riotous kends, is still above:, hanging against the wall, a Suit of armour that once belotsgeJ to J4111e1„ Fllllll Ilrllee 11 Stair e aa e conducts to a astir of •partenenia of faded inagniticeoce, bong with gobelia tapes's", which formed JlllllCs'S primn. " The whole history of this amicable lieft.1001: tuMite Prater, is highly romantic, adsiAlllo' . o l ,ll known to need particular relation; •a i. teen tender age of eleven, he was sent f home Istifitiiii father Robert Third, and destined foe the French court, to be reared wider there ut the Freiech Meowed., secure front the treachery and danger that stirs rounded the royal house of Scotland. It was his mishap, in the course of his voyage, to fall into the hands of the E.slish, awl lie was detasiord prisoner by Henry IV. nutwitlistauding that a truce existed between the two countries. " The intelligence of capture, coming in the train of many burrows and diameters. proved fatal to his unhappy father. The news, we we told, was brought to him while at snapper, and did ao over. whelm him with grief, that h e c a l a l mos t rea dy to give up the ghost into the hands of the servants that attended him. But being carried to his bed chamber, he abstained !runs all food , and iu three days died of hspaiger sad grief at Rothesoy. " James lla, *sod to ceptierity for 11 years; lerstohough ow re .or personal liberty, h e wo stii i treated with , ( ,respect due to his rank. Care was taken to instruct him to all the brineches of us-,/tal knowledge cnitivisted at that period ; wed to give him those mental will personal accomplish ments deemed proper fur a Nimes.. " Perhaps, in this respect. his imprisonment w a s an advantage. as it enabled him to apply himself the more exclusively to his improvement, and quietly to imbibe that rich fund of knowledge, feud to cherish tlime elegant tastes, which have given such a lustre 10 hie memory. The picture drawn of him in ere ly life. by the Scottish historians, it. highly captivating, and arms rather the deecrip bon of ti hero of romance, than a clviracter of real h is t or y. lie was well learnt, we are told. to fight with the sword. to jouet, to touriray, to Wrestle, to Sill a n d dakce; lie wa• an expert snedicitwr ; right crafty in playing both at lute uil harp, and sins. diy other nestaiiiiients of music; and was expert in gratirmirr, oratory, and poetry, t , With this Cl/111himinisoss 1.1 1•111111 y mid delicate accomplislimenes, lining him to shine both in active% sod elegant life, and calculated to give hien an in tense relish for joyous existence, it must have been a severe trial, iii an age of bustle Heal chivalry, to pew the spring time of has years in monotonous captivity. " Some minds corrode stai grow inactive, under the loan( personal liberty ; others, morbid and ir reliable ; but it is the liable of the pftet till become tender and imaginative in the !towlines.. of confine ment. He besiquets upott tile 'Riney of his own thoughts ; and, like the captive fated, pouts forth lits soul in melody— " Have you not men the aightingale? A pilgrims Fouled into a cage ; H o w doth she 'Alma live wooled taie, 1u that her kmely hermitage? Even thou her charming turtudy Jolla prove. That all her Loughs are trees, her cage a grove. " Indeed, it is the divine attribute of the iniagi tuition, that it is irrepressible, uncoolimble; that when the real world is ►hut out, it can cleat's* world for itself, mud, with a necromantic poser, can con jure up glorious shapes cud forms, and brilliant vi sions, to make solitude populous, sr.d irradiate the gloom of she dungeon. Such was she world of pomp and pageant that lived around Tam, its his &stub' cell at Ferrara, when Ise conceived the splen did scenes of his Jerusalem ; and we may consider the King's Quair, composed by James, tioritig his captivity at IVitidsor, as &souther of those beautiful breaking; forth of the soul from the restraint and gloom of the prison -house. The subject of the poem is his love for the Lady Jane Beaufort, slaughter of the Farl of Somerset.

The poem is a rich effusion of feeling end fancy ; full of the descriptive vein which characterises the poetry of that day. and sobered cud sweetened by the most simple and natural reflectious.

It is curious, too, to get at the history of a Monarch's heart, and find the simple affections of human nature throbbing under the ermine. But James had learnt to be a poet before he was a King; he was schooled in ad versity, and reared us the company of his own thoughts. " Monarchs have seldom time to parley with their hearts, or meditate their minds into poetry; and had James been brought up amidst the adttlatioo and gaiety of a court, we should never have had such a poem as the Quisir. " In his first canto, lot makes several allusions to his misfortunes, and Isis wearisome impriaon. anent. They are extremely natural and touching, and perhaps are rendered snore toncning by their simple brevity. They Contrast finely with those elaborate and iterated complaints, whielt we some ' s meet in poetry, the effusions of morbid minds sickening order miseries of their own creiting, and venting their bitterness on an unoffetidusg world. James speaks of his privation* with acute sensibility; hut, leaving mentioned them, passes on, as if his manly mind di-iiamed to Limit over un avoidable calamities. When swell a spirit breaks forth into complaint, we are aware how great must be the suffering that extorts the murmur. We sympathise with James, a romantic, active, and ac complished Prince, cut off in the lustihood of youth, from all the enterprise and noble uses of life, as we do with Milton. alive to nil the beauties of 'suture and glories of art, when he_breathes forth Isrief hut deep-toned lamentations over his perpe tual blindness. From a passage its the first canto, we find, that the favourite book of James, while lii prison, was &tints' Consolations of Philosophy,, a work popular among,. 'tens of that day, and which had beets tra tty his great predecessor Chaucer. Aud, Intl ,it would be difficult to tied, out of the 113efeli writing., a mote admirable text book for meditation under misfortune. It is the legacy of a iisible aid inducing spirit, purified by sorrow amid suffering, beternitliiiig to all its sue. CCONOrt in calamity the stores of eloquent but sim ple reasoning, by which it was enabled to bear up aphid the various ills of life, It is a talisman which the unfortunate may ',treasure up in his /boson; or, like the good ICleg James, lay it up on • his nightly pillow. si At what period of his durance he fell in lose t wilding; Lady Asa is uncertain ; but frout that moinent,it i•Polibilfilfe, lie !mug up philosophy and became poetical. The descrupt lull of less first her is picturesque. and given with great beauty of detail ; he was in the midst of one of, hisidig, of . ly weariness, despairing. as he suyt; of all joy and remedy. Fur thud of thought, nod sou-begune,. he wandered to the window to e‘a•.cli the passers. by, and gaze out upon Ilse world, ili a p oor so l ace of the captive. The window l o oked forth op ,„ • small garde's, which lay ut the foot of the tower; , it was a quiet sheltered PliOl, adorned with arbours and greets alleys, and protected from the passing gaze by trees and ban iilltlis hedges, " Now was there made fast by the tower's wall, A video faire, and in the corns rs Si An arbour green, wills "rendes tong and small, Railed about, and so with tries bevel Wit. all the place, and hawthorn hedges keel, 'Flute 4r, was mote walkyn; thete 1., bye, 'Bust might within seam any night espye. • u Ss thick she Aryl% nail the 15,,, green, Ileshaded all the alleys that there were, And midi,* of terry arbour might be strut, The sharp, giros, sweet juniper.
