Anastasia of Sirmium

ANASTASIA,
A Christian martyr of Rome, in the Dioclesian persecution. Her ​father, Prebextal, was a pagan, and her mother, Flausta, a Christian who instructed, her in the principles of her own religion. After the death of her mother, she was married to Publius Patricius, a Roman knight, who obtained a rich patrimony with her; but he no sooner discovered her to be a Christian, than he treated her harshly, confined her, and kept her almost in want of necessaries while lie spent her wealth in all kinds of extravagance. He died in the coarse of a few years, and Anastasia devoted herself to the study of the Scriptures and to works of charity, spending her whole fortune in the relief of the poor, and the Christians, by whom the prisons were then filled.
But she, and her three female servants, sisters, were soon arrested as Christians, and commanded to sacrifice to idols. Refusing to do this, the three sisters were put to death on the spot, and Anastasia conducted to prison. She was then exiled to the island of Palmaria; but soon afterwards brought back to Rome, and burned alive. Her remains were buried in a garden by Apollonia, a Christian woman, and a church was afterwards built on the spot. Anastasia suffered about A.D. 303.

ANCELOT, VIRGINIE,
Wife of the celebrated M. Ancelot, author of "Marie Padilla," and many other tragedies and dramas of great popularity, has a literary reputation little inferior to that of her husband. As an author of vaudevilles—that species of writing in which the French excel, she is regarded as having surpassed her husband; while her novels have displayed no small degree of talent. She resides in Paris, where her works are highly prized by that increasing class of novel-readers, who are willing to be amused and interested with portraitures of the bright side of nature, the good which may be found in humanity, and hoped for in the future of our race.
Madame Ancelot exhibits artistic skill in the plot of her stories; her style is unexceptionable, and above all she had the merit of purity of thought, and soundness of moral principle. The most noted of her novels are "Gabrielle," "Emerance," and "Médèrine." The first named has been included in the "Bibliothèque de' Elite," ​and has passed through several editions. The spirit and style of this work are in accordance with the sentiment of the popular English novels; those who admire Mrs. Gore's writings will find as much to amuse and interest them in "Gabrielle," with a more elevated tone of moral feeling.

ANCHITA,
Wife of Cleombrutus, king of Sparta; was mother of Pausanius, who distinguished himself at the battle of Platcæa; afterwards, by his foolish and arrogant conduct disgusted his countrymen, whom he also agreed to betray to the Persian king, on condition of receiving his daughter in marriage.

ANDROCLEA,
Celebrated for her love to her country, was a native of Thebes in Bœotia.

Antiopoenus, father of Androclea, the most illustrious person in Thebes, was not disposed to sacrifice himself. Androclea and her sister Alcis fulfilled this duty in their father|s stead; and the grateful Thebans erected the statue of a lion to their memory in the temple of Diana.

ANASTASIA, SAINT,
Several eminently pious women are known by this name. The earliest and most famous among them lived at Corinth, about the time when St. Paul preached the gospel in that city. She heard the apostle, and was seized with a firm conviction that the doctrines inculcated by that eminent disciple of Christ were true. She joined the Christian church without the knowledge of her parents and relations. Although betrothed to a Corinthian whose Interests made him hostile to the introduction of the new religion, she nevertheless suffered neither persuasion nor threats to shake her in her enthusiasm for the new faith. She prevailed even so far upon her lover as to make him resolve to become a Christian. Finally she was compelled, on account of persecution, to conceal herself in a vault. But her lover, to whom she had declared her intention of living the life of a virgin devoted to God, betrayed her retreat. Every attempt to make her recant proved fruitless. She suffered the death of a martyr; and her lover died soon afterwards, a victim to remorse and grief. Petrarch mentions her several times in his poems.

ANDREINI, ISABELLA,
Was born at Padua, in 1562. She became an actress of great fame, and was flattered by the applauses of men of wit and learning of her time. The Italian theatre was considered, in that day, a literary institution. She is described as a woman of elegant figure, beautiful countenance, and melodious voice; of taste in her profession, and conversant with the French and Spanish languages; nor was she unacquainted with philosophy and the sciences. She was a votary of the muses, and cultivated poetry with ardour and success. The Intenti academicians of Pavia, conferred upon her the honours of their society, and the title of Isabella Andreini, Comica Gelosa, Academica Intenta, detta l'Accesa. She dedicated her works to cardinal Aldobrandini, (nephew to pope Clement the Eighth,) by whom she was greatly esteemed, and for whom many of her poems were composed. In France, whither she made a tour, she met with a most flattering reception from the king, the queen, and the court. She died in 1604, at Lyons, in the forty-second year of her age. Her husband was overwhelmed with affliction at her loss, and erected a monument to her memory, in the city in which she expired, inscribed with an epitaph commemorative of her virtues. The learned strove to outdo each other in pronouncing panegyrics on her character. Even a medal was struck to commemmorate her abilities, bearing her likeness on one side, and a figure of Fame on the other, with this inscription—"Æterna Fama."
Her works are numerous, and much admired by the lovers of Italian literature; they are readily found in print.

# A Cyclopaedia of Female Biography/Anacoana

Layout 2
ANACOANA,
Or "Flower of gold," was the sister of Behechio, cacique or king of Xaragua, one of the five kingdoms into which Hayti was divided, at the time of the discovery of the island by Columbus, in 1492. She was the wife of Caonabo, a Carib, who had made himself master of another of these kingdoms, called Maquana, and was the most powerful chief of the island. Caonabo made war upon the Spaniards, and was seized and carried off by them, when his widow went to live with her brother, whose kingdom she assisted to govern. She at all times manifested great partiality for the white strangers, and was greatly pleased when a young Spanish cavalier, Don Hernando de Guevara, proposed to marry her daughter Higueymota. Obstacles were, however, thrown in the way of the marriage by Roldan, the governor of the district, who is said to have been himself enamoured of the bride elect; the suitor was ordered to leave the island, divisions ensued in which Columbus himself was implicated, and when, on the death of her brother, Anacoana succeeded to the sovereignty of his kingdom, she is reported to have detested the Spaniards as much as she formerly liked them.
In 1503, Don Nicholas de Ovando succeeded Robadilla as governor of the island, and, acting on the impression of her supposed animosity, seized the queen of Xaragua while at an entertainment to which he had invited her and the chief persons of the country, and hanged her, burning in the house in which they were assembled, the rest of the Indians. The Spanish historians generally agree in representing this ill-fated princess as "a woman of remarkable beauty and accomplishments, with an inquiring and intelligent mind, and famous among her subjects for her power of composing 'areytos,' or legendary ballads, chanted by the natives as an accompaniment to their national dances."

# A First Series of Hymns and Songs/Descriptive Songs/The Orphan Beggar

55. The Orphan Beggar.
Ah, pity, kind ladies, a poor little boy,
Whose father and mother are dead;
Who hungry and shiv'ring approaches you now,
To beg for a mouthful of bread.
Oh, think what it is to parade the wide world,
And to have neither friend nor a home;
To be rated and forc'd from each half-open'd door,
With a rudely said, "Beggar, begone!"
Yet once I was happy and cheerful as you,
My father he work'd at his mill,
My mother she busily spun at her wheel,
And we thought not of danger or ill.
But the cholera came, and my father fell sick,
My mother stood by at his death;
Then she too was seized, and within a few hours
Convulsively gasp'd her last breath.
​Ah me, what a sight for a helpless young boy,
A father and mother both dead!
Yet the hard-hearted landlord soon turn'd me adrift,
To roam and to beg for my bread.
Then pity, kind ladies, the poor orphan boy,
That has not a friend or a home;
Who is browbeat and scolded wherever he goes,
And wanders forlorn and alone.

YOUNG FOX.
Ho! brother Fox, dost hear what I say?
Hey for the coppice-wood down in the vale!
The hunt and the hounds are coming this way,
Hey for the coppice-wood down in the vale!
Chorus.
Heigho, heigho! hey for the coppice-wood,
Hey for the coppice-wood down in the vale!
Heigho, heigho! hey for the coppice-wood,
Hey for the coppice-wood down in the vale!
The master, I know him, old Timothy Sheen,
Hey for the coppice-wood down in the vale!
And the field that is with him, in scarlet and green,
Hey for the coppice-wood down in the vale!
Heigho, &c.
I've seen him just now, in his hunting array,
His dogs all about, on the scent of their prey.
Now should they but find us here under the rocks,
OLD FOX.
Why then if they're coming, we'd best make away,
And leave them to find such sport as they may.
And if they've a mind to be riding all day,
N.B. The Burden, "Hey for," &c. is repeated after each line; and the Chorus, "Heigho," &c. at the end of each couplet.
# A First Series of Hymns and Songs/Descriptive Songs/The Shepherd's Song

Excerpted from A Pastoral Ballad, 1755.
7. The Shepherd's Song.
My banks they are furnished with bees,
Whose murmur invites one to sleep;
My grottoes are shaded with trees.
And my hills are white over with sheep.
I seldom have met with a loss,
Such health do my fountains bestow;
My fountains all bordered with moss,
Where the hare-bell and violet grow.
Not a pine in my grove is there seen,
But with tendrils of woodbine is bound;
Not a beech's more beautiful green,
But a sweet briar entwines it around. ​Not my fields in the prime of the year
More charms than my cattle unfold;
Not a brook that is limpid and clear,
But it glitters with fishes of gold.

The daisies have shut up their sleepy red eyes,
The bees and the insects and birds are at rest.
O Lady-bird, Lady-bird, fly away home!
The glow-worm is lighting his glittering lamp;
The dew's falling fast, and your fine speckled wings
Will be moisten'd and wet with the close-clinging damp.
O Lady-bird, Lady-bird, fly away home!
The sweet little fairy bells tinkle afar;
Make haste, or they'll catch you and harness you fast
With a gossamer cobweb to Oberon's car.

37. The Last Rose of Summer.
The last rose of summer
Is faded and fled,
The leaves that adorn'd her
Are dying or dead;
The autumn is coming,
And, strong in its blast,
Will open for winter
A passage at last.
Oh, how to my spirit
It seemeth to say,
Thus too is thy summer
Fast fading away;
And the things that thou lovest,
Though beautiful now,
And the friends thou hast chosen.
Are fragile as thou.
​Dost thou covet a summer
More certain of bliss?
Go seek thee a country
Far brighter than this;
Where the joys thou hast lost, thou
Shalt never deplore,
And the friends thou hast chosen
Shall quit thee no more.
# A First Series of Hymns and Songs/Descriptive Songs/The Little Butterfly-Catcher

51. The Little Butterfly-Catcher.
When first I went, a little miss,
To school in Lincolnshire,
Oh, weary were the dull long days
For many a tedious year, ​Until I had my hoop and net,
As you shall quickly hear;
Oh, they're my delight, when the sun shines bright,
In the season of the year.
To rove a truant gay and free
Across the open moor,
And chase the painted butterflies
As they fly from flow'r to flow'r;
To wave about my nice green net,
And run I know not where:
Oh! 'tis my delight, as the sun shines bright,
In the season of the year.
Full many a gay bright butterfly
I caught with stealthy bound,
And oft I pull'd them limb from limb,
And left them on the ground,
And never thought how cruel 'twas
Their little wings to tear:
Oh! 'twas my delight, as the sun shone bright,
In the season of the year.
But roving once across the moor,
A truant free and gay,
The sober dame who ruled the school
Did chance to pass that way;
And spying me, full loud did cry,
Young miss, what brings you here?
Oh! 'twas small delight, as the sun shone bright,
To stand and quake for fear.
​So I was whipp'd and sent to bed,
That the rest might learn to fear,
And duly keep the good dame's rules
For the sequel of the year;
And chase no more gay butterflies,
Or their little wings to tear:
Still! 'tis my delight, when the sun shines bright,
