SCOLIA
The early lyric poetry of the Greeks was made up largely of songs composed for different occasions,—marriages, funerals, celebrations of victories and the like. An important class of these were "banquet songs,"—scolia, or catches, sung as the wine-cup passed around,—which every Athenian was assumed to be ready to sing.
Of these the most celebrated in ancient times was the following, attributed to Callistratus.
A SCOLION OF CALLISTRATUS
Harmodius and Aristogeiton conspired to slay Hipparchus and his elder brother Hippias, tyrant of Athens, during the procession at the Panathenaic festival in 514 B. c. Through a mistake they succeeded in killing only Hipparchus. Harmodius was put to death at once by the tyrant's guard, and Aristogeiton soon after. After the expulsion of Hippias in 510 B. c, Harmodius and Aristogeiton became the most popular of Athenian heroes, and through a false view of their act were celebrated as the deliverers of Athens.
In a wreath of myrtle I'll wear my glaive,
Like Harmodius and Aristogeiton brave, Who, striking the tyrant down, Made Athens a freeman's town.
Harmodius, our darling, thou art not dead! 5
Thou liv'st in the isles of the blest, 't is said, With Achilles first in speed. And Tydides Diomede.
​In a wreath of myrtle I'll wear my glaive,
Like Harmodius and Aristogeiton brave, 10 When the twain on Athena's day Did the tyrant Hipparchus slay.
For aye shall your fame in the land be told,
Harmodius and Aristogeiton bold, Who, striking the tyrant down, 15 Made Athens a freeman's town.
Translated by John Conington.
A SCOLION OF HYBRIAS THE CRETAN
My wealth 's a burly spear and brand,
And a right good shield of hides untanned, Which on my arm I buckle:
With these I plough, I reap, I sow,
With these I make the sweet vintage flow, 5
And all around me truckle.
But your wights that take no pride to wield
A massy spear and well-made shield, Nor joy to draw the sword:
O, I bring those heartless, hapless drones, 10 Down in a trice on their marrow-bones.
To call me king and lord.
Translated by Thomas Campbell.
THE SWALLOW SONG
In ancient times as well as modern, the swallow was regarded as the harbinger of spring. Every year boys went from house to house in Rhodes, announcing the welcome arrival of this bird, and begging gifts in return for their good news. This is the song that they sang.
She is here, she is here, the swallow!
Fair seasons bringing, fair years to follow! Her belly is white, Her back black as night! From your rich house 5 Roll forth to us
Tarts, wine, and cheese: Or if not these, Oatmeal and barley-cake
The swallow deigns to take. 10
What shall we have? or must we hence away? Thanks, if you give; if not, we'll make you pay! The house-door hence we '11 carry; Nor shall the lintel tarry;
From hearth and home your wife we'll rob; 15 She is so small,
To take her off will be an easy job!
Whate'er you give, give largess free!
Up! open, open to the swallow's call!
No grave old men, but merry children we! 20
Translated by John Addington Symonds.
# Masterpieces of Negro Eloquence/Preface

It seems eminently fitting and proper in this year, the fiftieth anniversary of the Proclamation of Emancipation that the Negro should give pause and look around him at the things which he has done, those which he might have done, and those which he intends to do. We pause, just at the beginning of another half century, taking stock of past achievements, present conditions, future possibilities.   In considering the literary work of the Negro, his pre-eminence in the field of oratory is striking. Since the early nineteenth century until the present time, he is found giving eloquent voice to the story of his wrongs and his proscriptions. Crude though the earlier efforts may be, there is a certain grim eloquence in them that is touching, there must be, because of the intensity of feeling behind the words.   Therefore, it seems appropriate in putting forth a volume commemorating the birth of the Negro into manhood, to collect some few of the speeches he made to help win his manhood, his place in the economy of the nation, his right to stand with his face to the sun. The present volume does not aim to be a complete collection of Negro Eloquence; it does not even aim to present the best that the Negro has done on the platform, it merely aims to present to the public some few of the best speeches made within the past hundred years. Much of the best is lost; much of it is hidden away in forgotten places. We have not always appreciated our own work sufficiently to preserve it, and thus much valuable material is wasted. Sometimes it has been difficult to obtain good speeches from those who are living because of their innate modesty, either in not desiring to appear in print, or in having thought so little of their efforts as to have lost them.   The Editor is conscious that many names not in the table of contents will suggest themselves to the most casual reader, but the omissions are not intentional nor yet of ignorance always, but due to the difficulty of procuring the matter in time for the publication of the volume before the golden year shall have closed.   In collecting and arranging the matter, for the volume, I am deeply indebted first to the living contributors who were so gracious and generous in their responses to the request for their help, and to the relatives of those who have passed into silence, for the loan of valuable books and manuscripts. I cannot adequately express my gratitude to Mr. John E. Bruce and Mr. Arthur A. Schomburg, President and Secretary of the Negro Society for Historical Research, for advice, suggestion, and best of all, for help in lending priceless books and manuscripts and for aid in copying therefrom.   Again, we repeat, this volume is not a complete anthology; not the final word in Negro eloquence of to-day, nor yet a collection of all the best; it is merely a suggestion, a guide-post, pointing the way to a fuller work, a slight memorial of the birth-year of the race.

# Masterpieces of Greek Literature (1902)/Tyrtaeus

Layout 2
TYRTAEUS
Milton says that it is the function of the poet "to inbreed and cherish in a great people the seeds of virtue and public civility." On this ground, if on no other, Tyrtaeus deserves the title of poet. He was general of the Spartans during the Second Messenian war, in the seventh century before Christ, and by his patriotic verses aroused in his fellow citizens increased courage and spirit in battle, and a larger devotion to the State in peace. His songs were long sung about the Spartan camp fires.
MARTIAL ELEGY
How glorious fall the valiant, sword in hand, In front of battle for their native land! But oh! what ills await the wretch that yields, A recreant outcast from his country's fields! The mother whom he loves shall quit her home, 5 An aged father at his side shall roam; His little ones shall weeping with him go, And a young wife participate his woe; While scorned and scowled upon by every face, They pine for food, and beg from place to place. 10
Stain of his breed! dishonoring manhood's form, All ills shall cleave to him: affliction's storm Shall blind him wandering in the vale of years, Till, lost to all but ignominious fears, ​He shall not blush to leave a recreant's name, 15 And children, like himself, inured to shame. But we will combat for our fathers' land, And we will drain the life-blood where we stand, To save our children.—Fight ye side by side, And serried close, ye men of youthful pride, 20 Disdaining fear, and deeming light the cost Of life itself in glorious battle lost.
Leave not our sires to stem the unequal fight, Whose limbs are nerved no more with buoyant might; Nor, lagging backward, let the younger breast 25 Permit the man of age (a sight unblest) To welter in the combat's foremost thrust, His hoary head dishevelled in the dust, And venerable bosom bleeding bare. But youth's fair form, though fallen, is ever fair, 30 And beautiful in death the boy appears, The hero boy, that dies in blooming years: In man's regret he lives, and woman's tears; More sacred than in life, and lovelier far, For having perished in the front of war. 35
Translated by Thomas Campbell.

Proclamation: Changing the Boundary Line Between Randolph and St. Clair Counties
March 25, 1803
Sundrie petitions having been presented to the Governor, from a number of the Citizens of the County of Randolph, Complaining of the great distance from the seat of justice of their county, and praying that the line dividing the ​ties of Randolph and St. Clair may be so altered as to annex them to the latter, the Governor Issued a proclamation, declaring the line seperating the Counties of Randolph and St. Clair [Illinois] shall begin on the Mississippi River four miles and thirty-two chains south of the point where the present division line intersects the Mississippi Bottom, thence by a direct line to the Sinkhole Springs, thence by a line north sixty degrees East until it intersects a north line running from the great Cave on the Ohio River [Cave-in-rocks], and the alterations and boundaries so established shall take place from and after the first day of May next. (Abstract)
# Messages and Letters of William Henry Harrison/Proclamation: Convening the First Session of the Territorial Legislature

Proclamation: Convening the First Session of the Territorial Legislature, January 10, 1801
Executive Journal of Indiana Territory, 2
The Governor Issued a proclamation for the meeting of the legislature, and requiring the attendance of the judges of the territory, on Monday the 12th of this instant at St. Vincennes for the purpose of adopting and publishing such laws, as the ​exigencies of the government may require, and for the performance of such other acts and things as may be deemed necessary and conformable to the ordinances and laws of Congress, for the government of the territory.
* ↑ The references to the Executive Journal are to the printed version in Indiana Historical Society Publications. III, No. 3 (1900). The original pagination is cited as therein given. Although the act setting off Indiana Territory was approved May 7, 1800, and Governor Harrison was appointed May 13. he did not arrive in the new Territory until early in the next year. Meanwhile the necessary measures for the administration of the Territory were taken by Secretary John Gibson. The Executive Journal, kept by the secretary, begins with these words, under date of July 4, 1800: "This day the government of Indiana Territory commenced." The issuance of the proclamation of January 10, 1801, is the first evidence we have of Harrison's presence at Vincennes. The last preceding entry in the Executive Journal is dated November 5, 1800. The proclamation no doubt was read to the three judges who with the governor constituted the territorial legislature. The text of this proclamation has not been found.
* ↑ The three judges were William Clark, chief justice. Henry Vander Burgh, second judge, and John Griffin, third judge. Clark died at Vincennes. November 11, 1802; Vander Burgh died at Vincennes April 12, 1812. December 23, 1805 President Jefferson nominated Griffin "judge of the territory of Michigan, agreeably to his own desires, as is represented." (Executive Journal U. S. Senate.) Waller Taylor was appointed judge April 14, 1806. Benjamin Parke was appointed in place of Thomas Terry Davis April 21, 1808. Davis was appointed February 4, 1803 on the death of Clark.
