THE DEAD BEGGAR.
AN ELEGY,
Addressed to a Lady, who was affected at seeing the Funeral of a nameless Pauper, buried at the Expence of the Parish, in the Church-Yard at Brighthelmstone, in November 1792.
SWELLS then thy feeling heart, and streams thine eye  O'er the deserted being, poor and old, Whom cold, reluctant, Parish Charity  Consigns to mingle with his kindred mold?
Mourn'st thou, that here the time-worn sufferer ends  Those evil days still threatening woes to come; Here, where the friendless feel no want of friends,  Where even the houseless wanderer finds an home?
What tho' no kindred croud in sable forth,  And sigh, or seem to sigh, around his bier; Though o'er his coffin with the humid earth  No children drop the unavailing tear?
Rather rejoice that here his sorrows cease,  Whom sickness, age, and poverty oppress'd; Where Death, the Leveller, restores to peace  The wretch who living knew not where to rest.
Rejoice, that tho' an outcast spurn'd by Fate,  Thro' penury's rugged path his race he ran; In earth's cold bosom, equall'd with the great,  Death vindicates the insulted rights of Man.
Rejoice, that tho' severe his earthly doom,  And rude, and sown with thorns the way he trod, Now, (where unfeeling Fortune cannot come)  He rests upon the mercies of his God.
# Elegiac Sonnets, and Other Poems, Volume 2, The Second Edition/The Miseries of War

FRAGMENT,
DESCRIPTIVE OF THE MISERIES OF WAR; FROM A POEM CALLED "The Emigrants," PRINTED IN 1793.
TO a wild mountain, whose bare summit hides Its broken eminence in clouds; whose steeps Are dark with woods; where the receding rocks Are worn with torrents of dissolving snow; A wretched woman, pale and breathless, flies, And, gazing round her, listens to the sound Of hostile footsteps:—No! they die away— Nor noise remains, but of the cataract, Or surly breeze of night, that mutters low Among the thickets, where she trembling seeks A temporary shelter—Clasping close To her quick throbbing heart her sleeping child,
All she could rescue of the innocent group That yesterday surrounded her—Escaped Almost by miracle!—Fear, frantic Fear, Wing'd her weak feet; yet, half repenting now Her headlong haste, she wishes she had staid To die with those affrighted Fancy paints The lawless soldiers' victims—Hark! again The driving tempest bears the cry of Death; And with deep, sudden thunder, the dread sound Of cannon vibrates on the tremulous earth; While, bursting in the air, the murderous bomb Glares o'er her mansion—Where the splinters fall Like scatter'd comets, its destructive path Is mark'd by wreaths of flame!—Then, overwhelm'd
Beneath accumulated horror, sinks The desolate mourner!  *********  *********  ********* The feudal Chief, whose Gothic battlements Frown on the plain beneath, returning home From distant lands, alone, and in disguise, Gains at the fall of night his castle walls; But, at the silent gate no porter sits To wait his lord's admittance!—In the courts All is drear stillness!—Guessing but too well The fatal truth, he shudders as he goes Thro' the mute hall; where, by the blunted light
That the dim Moon thro' painted casement lends, He sees that devastation has been there; Then, while each hideous image to his mind Rises terrific, o'er a bleeding corse Stumbling he falls; another intercepts His staggering feet—All! all who used to rush With joy to meet him, all his family Lie murder'd in his way!—And the day dawns On a wild raving Maniac, whom a fate So sudden and calamitous has robb'd Of reason; and who round his vacant walls Screams unregarded, and reproaches Heaven!
# Elegiac Sonnets, and Other Poems, Volume 2, The Second Edition/To Vesper

TO VESPER.
FROM THE SAME
Thou! Who behold'st with dewy eye  The sleeping leaves and folded flowers, And hear'st the night-wind lingering sigh  Thro' shadowy woods and twilight bowers; Thou wast the signal once that seem'd to say, Hillario's beating heart reproved my long delay.
I see thy emerald lustre stream  O'er these rude cliffs and cavern'd shore; But here, orisons to thy beam  The woodland chantress pours no more; Nor I, as once, thy lamp propitious hail, Seen indistinct thro' tears; confus'd, and dim, and pale.
Soon shall thy arrowy radiance shine  On the broad ocean's restless wave, Where this poor cold swoln form of mine  Shall shelter in its billowy grave, Safe from the scorn the World's sad outcasts prove. Unconscious of the pain of ill-requited Love.

THE FEMALE EXILE.
WRITTEN AT BRIGHTHELMSTONE IN NOV. 1792.
NOVEMBER'S chill blast on the rough beach is howling,  The surge breaks afar, and then foams to the shore, Dark clouds o'er the sea gather heavy and scowling,  And the white cliffs re-echo the wild wintry roar.
Beneath that chalk rock, a fair stranger reclining,  Has found on damp sea-weed a cold lonely seat; Her eyes fill'd with tears, and her heart with repining,  She starts at the billows that burst at her feet.
There, day after day, with an anxious heart heaving,  She watches the waves where they mingle with air; For the sail which, alas! all her fond hopes deceiving,  May bring only tidings to add to her care.
Loose stream to wild winds those fair flowing tresses,  Once woven with garlands of gay Summer flowers; Her dress unregarded, bespeaks her distresses,  And beauty is blighted by grief's heavy hours.
Her innocent children, unconscious of sorrow,  To seek the gloss'd shell, or the crimson weed stray; Amused with the present, they heed not to-morrow,  Nor think of the storm that is gathering to day.
* Engraved by J. Neagle from a Drawing by the Right Hon. the Countess of Harborough
* The gilt fairy Ship, with its ribbon sail spreading,
* They launch on the salt Pool the tide left behind;
* Ah! victims--for whom their sad Mother is dreading
* The multiplied Miseries that wait on Mankind.
* Published May. 15th 1797 by Cadell and Davies, Strand.
The gilt, fairy ship, with its ribbon-sail spreading,  They launch on the salt pool the tide left behind; Ah! victims—for whom their sad mother is dreading  The multiplied miseries that wait on mankind!
To fair fortune born, she beholds them with anguish,  Now wanderers with her on a once hostile soil, Perhaps doom'd for life in chill penury to languish,  Or abject dependence, or soul-crushing toil.
But the sea-boat, her hopes and her terrors renewing,  O'er the dim grey horizon now faintly appears; She flies to the quay, dreading tidings of ruin,  All breathless with haste, half expiring with fears.
Poor mourner!—I would that my fortune had left me  The means to alleviate the woes I deplore; But like thine my hard fate has of affluence bereft me,  I can warm the cold heart of the wretched no more!

ANNONAY, a town of France, in the department of Ardeche, irregularly but picturesquely built on several small hills at the confluence of the rivers Canse and Deome, 37 miles south of Lyons. It contains few buildings that are worthy of notice, although an obelisk in honour of the celebrated brothers Montgolfier, inventors of the balloon, who were natives of the place, and the Gothic church oi Trachi, built in the 1 4th century, deserve to be mentioned. The manufactures of Annonay are among the most im portant in the department, the chief being those of paper, long considered to be the best in France, and glove leather, while cotton, woollen, arid silk goods are also produced. Population, 18,445.
# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Anointing

See also Anointing on Wikipedia; Anointing on Wikipedia, Anointing in the 11th Edition; and the disclaimer.
ANOINTING, the practice of pouring an aromatic oil upon the head or over the whole body, has been in use from the earliest times among Oriental nations, from whom it passed, chiefly in its ceremonial application, to the nations of the west. It served three distinct purposes, being regarded as a means of health and comfort, as a token of honour, or as a symbol of consecration. Reasoning from analogy, it seems probable that anointing was practised for sanative reasons before it became a religious ceremonial, but it is impossible to determine this with certainty. Its adoption as a sanative agent was dictated chiefly by the conditions of climate in the East. Used as it generally was in conjunction with the bath, it closed the pores, repressed undue perspiration, and so prevented loss of strength. It was also regarded as a protection against the heat of the sun, and the oil, being aromatic, counteracted disagreeable smells. The anointing of the head as a token of honour paid to guests and strangers is mentioned in Scripture (Ps. xxiii. 5; Luke vii. 46), and was customary among the Egyptians (Wilkinson's Ancient Egyptians, ii. 213), the Greeks, and the Romans. Anointing as a symbol of consecration was practised among the Jews from the time of the exodus from Egypt, as part of the ceremonial investiture with the sacred offices of prophet (1 Kings xix. 16), priest (Exod. xxix. 7), and king (1 Sam. ix. 16). It does not seem to have been essential to the consecration of a prophet, and, as each individual holder of the office of priest or king was not anointed, it has been generally inferred that in these cases it was essential only at the consecration of a new line or dynasty. The titles Messiah and Christ, both meaning anointed, are applied to our Saviour as the anti-typical prophet, priest, and king. Anointing has passed from the Jewish into the Christian economy, and finds a place in the rites of baptism, confirmation, dedication of a church, &c., as these are administered in the Roman Catholic and Episcopalian communions. Its use at coronations symbolises the idea of monarchy as a mediate theocracy. The practice of anointing the sick in the primitive church, and the dying in the Roman Catholic Church, will be found treated in the article Extreme Unction.
# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Ansbach

See also Ansbach on Wikipedia; Ansbach on Wikipedia, Ansbach in the 11th Edition; and the disclaimer.
ANSBACH, or Anspach, originally Onolzbach, a town of Bavaria, capital of the circle of Middle Franconia, and formerly of the margraviate of Ansbach, situated on the Rezat, 25 miles S.W. of Nuremberg, and 90 N. of Munich. It is a pleasantly-built place, containing a castle, once the residence of the margraves, and still noted for the gardens that surround it; several churches, the finest of which are those dedicated to St John and St Gunibert; a gymnasium; and a picture gallery. The chief manufactures of Ansbach are woollen, cotton, and half-silk stuffs, earthenware, tobacco, cutlery, and playing cards. There is a considerable trade in grain, wool, and flax. In 1791 the last margrave of Ansbach sold his principality to Frederick William II., king of Prussia; it was transferred by Napoleon to Bavaria in 1806, an act which was confirmed by the Congress of Vienna in 1815. Population of the town, 12,635.
# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Anni

See also Ani on Wikipedia; Ani in the 11th Edition; and the disclaimer.
ANNI, or Ani, the ancient Abnicum, a ruined city of Turkey in Asia, in Armenia, situated about 25 miles E.S.E. of Kars, in a rocky ravine, past which the Arpa - Chai, a tributary of the Aras or Araxes, flows. The private houses of Anni are now little more than heaps of loose stones, but in the ruins of the public buildings there is still ample evidence of the former size and greatness of the city. Several churches, mosques, and a building which was probably the palace, as well as the massive walls of the city, are the most perfect and conspicuous remains at Anni, and exhibit many points of great architectural beauty. Anni was the capital of the Pakradian or Bagratian dynasty of Armenian kings, and under their rule reached the height of its greatness. Alp Arslan captured it in 1064, and handed it over to a tribe of Kurds, from whom it was taken by the Georgians. In 1319 an earthquake completed the misfortunes of the city, reducing it to the state in which it now exists.
# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Anodyne

See also Anodyne on Wikipedia; Anodyne and Analgesic on Wikipedia, Anodyne in the 11th Edition; and the disclaimer.
ANODYNE (α privative, and ὀδύνη, pain), denotes etymologically anything which relieves pain. The common usage of the word restricts it, however, to medicines which lessen the sensibility of the brain or nervous system, without acting directly on the cause of pain. The anodynes generally employed are opium, henbane, hemlock, tobacco, stramonium, and chloroform.
# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Annunciation

See also Annunciation on Wikipedia; Annunciation on Wikipedia, Annunciation in the 11th Edition; and the disclaimer.
ANNUNCIATION, the announcement made by the angel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary of the incarnation of Christ (Luke i. 26–38). A festival commemorative of the annunciation is kept by the church on the 25th of March. The first authentic allusions to it are in a canon of the Council of Toledo (656 A.D.), and another of the Council of Trullo (692), forbidding the celebration of all festivals in Lent, excepting the Lord's day and the Feast of the Annunciation. An earlier origin has been claimed for it on the ground that it is mentioned in sermons of Athanasius and of Gregory Thaumaturgus, but both these documents are now admitted to be spurious.
# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Anno Bom

See also Annobón on Wikipedia; Annobón on Wikipedia, Annobon in the 11th Edition; and the disclaimer.
ANNO BOM, or Annabona, a small island off the west coast of Africa, situated in lat. 1 24 S. and long. 5 35 E., 190 miles west of Cape Lopez. Its length is about four miles, its breadth two; and, rising in some parts to a. height of nearly 3000 feet above the sea, it presents a succession of beautiful valleys and steep mountains, that are covered with rich woods and luxuriant vegetation. The inhabitants, who probably amount to about 3000, are negroes, very ignorant, but professing a belief in the Roman Catholic faith. Their chief town, a village on the north east of the island, is merely a collection of rude huts, with an equally barbarous chapel. The roadstead is tolerably safe, and passing vessels frequently take advantage of it in order to obtain water and fresh provisions, of which Anno Bom contains an abundant supply. The island was dis covered by the Portuguese on the 1st of January 1473, from which circumstance it received its name, " Dia do Anno Bom," being the Portuguese term for New- Year s day. It is claimed both by Spain and Portugal, but neither of these nations exercises any authority in the island, which is governed by a native, or rather it is said by a body of five natives, each of whom holds the office of governor in turn, during the period that elapses till ten ships touch at the island.
# Encyclopædia Britannica, Ninth Edition/Anoukis

See also Anuket on Wikipedia; Anuket on Wikipedia; and the disclaimer.
ANOUKIS, or Anaka, the name of an Egyptian goddess, one of the contemplar or companion goddesses of Khnum or Chnoumis. Her name meant “the Clasper” or “Embracer.” She belonged to the “triad of Elephantine,” formed of Khnum or Chnoumis, Sati or Satis—the Egyptian Hera or Juno, “the sunbeam”—and herself. As Sati personified the upper world or hemisphere, and wore the white crown upon her head, so Anoukis wore the red crown, emblem of the lower world or hemisphere. She personified Hestia or Vesta, and had the crown surmounted by a tiara of feathers, similar to those of the Pulusata, or supposed Pelasgi, and Tsakkaru, or Teucri, as if she had been a goddess of these nations. Some have compared her name to that of the Phœnician goddess Onga. It rarely appears in the texts and monuments, although it is occasionally seen. Statuettes of Anoukis are of the greatest rarity, if, indeed, they occur.—Champollion, Panth. Egypt; Wilkinson, Mann. and Cust., v. p. 26; Rosellini, Mon. d. Cult., ii.; Letronne, Recherches, pp. 345-6.

Ammonite, the usual name of the descendants of Ammon, the son of Lot (Genesis 19:38). From the very beginning (Deuteronomy 2:16-20) of their history till they are lost sight of (Judges 5:2), this tribe is closely associated with the Moabites (Judges 10:11; 2Chr 20:1; Zephaniah 2:8). Both of these tribes hired Balaam to curse Israel (Deuteronomy 23:4). The Ammonites were probably more of a predatory tribe, moving from place to place, while the Moabites were more settled. They inhabited the country east of the Jordan and north of Moab and the Dead Sea, from which they had expelled the Zamzummims or Zuzims (Deuteronomy 2:20; Genesis 14:5). They are known as the Beni-ammi (Genesis 19:38), Ammi or Ammon being worshipped as their chief god. They were of Semitic origin, and closely related to the Hebrews in blood and language. They showed no kindness to the Israelites when passing through their territory, and therefore they were prohibited from "entering the congregation of the Lord to the tenth generation" (Deuteronomy 23:3). They afterwards became hostile to Israel (Judges 3:13). Jephthah waged war against them, and "took twenty cities with a very great slaughter" (Judges 11:33). They were again signally defeated by Saul (1 Samuel 11:11). David also defeated them and their allies the Syrians (2 Samuel 10:6-14), and took their chief city, Rabbah, with much spoil (2 Samuel 10:14; 12:26-31). The subsequent events of their history are noted in 2 Chronicles 20:25; 26:8; Jeremiah 49:1; Ezekiel 25:3,6. One of Solomon's wives was Naamah, an Ammonite. She was the mother of Rehoboam (1 Kings 14:31; 2Chr 12:13).
The prophets predicted fearful judgments against the Ammonites because of their hostility to Israel (Zephaniah 2:8; Jeremiah 49:1-6; Ezekiel 25:1-5,10; Amos 1:13-15).
The national idol worshipped by this people was Molech or Milcom, at whose altar they offered human sacrifices (1 Kings 11:5,7). The high places built for this idol by Solomon, at the instigation of his Ammonitish wives, were not destroyed till the time of Josiah (2 Kings 23:13).

Amon, builder.
(1.) The governor of Samaria in the time of Ahab. The prophet Micaiah was committed to his custody (1 Kings 22:26; 2Chr 18:25).
(2.) The son of Manasseh, and fourteenth king of Judah. He restored idolatry, and set up the images which his father had cast down. (Zephaniah 1:4; 3:4,11) refers to the moral depravity prevailing in this king's reign.
He was assassinated (2 Kings 21:18-26: 2Chr 33:20-25) by his own servants, who conspired against him.
(3.) An Egyptian god, usually depicted with a human body and the head of a ram, referred to in Jeremiah 46:25, where the word "multitudes" in the Authorized Version is more appropriately rendered "Amon" in the Revised Version. In Nahum 3:8 the expression "populous No" of the Authorized version is rendered in the Revised Version "No-amon". Amon is identified with Ra, the sun-god of Heliopolis.
(4.) Nehemiah 7:59.
