gertrude von der wart
Her hands were clasp'd, her dark eyes raised, The breeze threw back her hair; Up to the fearful Wheel she gazed; All that she loved was there! The night was round her clear and cold, The holy heaven above, Its pale stars watching to behold The might of earthly love.
​And bid me not depart, she cried, My Rudolph; say not so; This is no time to quit thy side; Peace—peace—I cannot go. Hath the world aught for me to fear, When death is on thy brow? The world—what means it?—mine is here; I will not leave thee now!
I have been with thee in thine hour Of glory and of bliss; Doubt not its memory's living power, To strengthen me through this. And thou, mine honour'd lord and true, Bear on, bear nobly on; We have the blessed heaven in view, Whose rest shall soon be won."
And were not these high words to flow From woman's breaking heart? Through all that night of bitterest woe, She bore her lofty part. But oh! with such a glazing eye, With such a curdling cheek, Love, love, of mortal agony, Thou only, thon shouldst speak!
The wind rose high, but with it rose Her voice that he might hear; Perchance that dark hour brought repose To happy bosoms here. While she sat pining with despair, Beside his tortured form, And pouring her deep soul in prayer, Forth on the rushing storm.
​She wiped the death-dumps from his brow, With her pale hands and soft. Whose touch upon the late chords low, Had still’d his heart so oft. She spread her mantle o’er his breast; She bathed his lips with dew; And on his cheek such kisses press’d, As hope and joy ne’er knew.
Oh! lovely are ye, Love and Faith, Enduring to the last! he had her meed, one smile in death, And his worn spirit pass’d. While even as o’er a martyr’s grave, She knelt on that sad spot; And, weeping, bless’d the God who gave Her strength to forsake it not!

# Theatrical speaker/On the Downfall of Poland

on the downfall of poland.
O sacred Truth, thy triumph ceased a-while, And hope, thy sister, eeased with thee to smile When leagued Oppression poured to Northern wars Her whiskerer pandours and fieree hussars, Waved her dread standard to the breeze of morn Pealed her loud drum, and twanged her trumpet horn; Tumultuous horror brooded o'er her van, Presaging wrath to Poland—and to man;
Warsaw's last champion, from her height survey'd Wide o'er the fields a waste of ruin laid,— 'O Heavens,' he cried, 'my bleeding country save,' Is there no hand on high to shield the brave? Yet, though destruction sweeps these lovely plains Rise, fellow men, our country yet remains, By that dread name, we wave the sword on high, And swear for her to live --with her to die;"
He said, and on the rampart heights arrayed His trusty warriors, few, but undismay'd: Firm paced and slow, a horrid front they form, Still as the breeze, but dreadful as the storm, Low, murmuring sound along their banner fly, Revenge or death.—The watchword and reply Then pealed the notes, omnipotent to charm, And the loud tocsin tolled their last alarm.
In vain-alas, in vain ye gallant few, From rank to rank your vollied thunder flew; O, bloodiest pieture in the book of time, Samartia fell, unwept, without a crime. ​Found not a generous friend, a pitying foe, Strength in her arms, nor mercy in her woe, Dropt from her nerveless grasp the shutterd spear Closed her bright eye, and crubed her high career; Hope, for a season, bad the world farewell, And freedom shrieked—as Kosciusko fell.
The sun went down, nor ceased the carnage there, Tumultuous murder shook the midnight air— On Prague's proud arch the fires of ruin glow— His blood-dyed waters murmuring far below, The storm prevails, the ramparts yeilds away— Bursts the wild cry of horror and dismay, Hark, as the mouldering piles with thunder fall, A thousand shrieks for hopeless mercy call: Earth shook—red meteors flash along the sky, And conscious nature shuddered at the cry.
O righteous Heaven, ere Freedom found a grave, Why slept the sword, omnipotent to save, Where was thine arm, O Vengeance, where thy rod, That smote the foes of Zion and of God? That crushed proud Ammon, when his iron car Was yoked in wrath, and thundered from afar? Where was the storm that slumbered till the host Of blood stained Pharaoh left their trembling coast, Tiren bade the deep in wild commotion flow And heaved on ocean on their march below?
Departed spirits of the Mighty dead, Ye that at Marrthon and Leucra bled, ​Friends of the world, restore your swords to man Fight in his sacred cause, and lead the van; Yet for Samatia's tears of blood atone, And make her arm puissant as your own. Oh, once again to Freedom's cause return, The Patriot Tell—the Bruce of Bannockburn.

# Theatrical speaker/Outalissi's Death Song

RECITATIONS.
outalissi's death-song.
And I could weep;"—the Oneyda chief His descant wildly thus begun; But that I may not stain with grief The death-song of my father's son! Or bow his head in woe; For, by my my wrongs and by my wrath; To-morrow Areouski's breath, That fires yon heaven with storms of death, Shall light us to the foe: And we shall share, my Christian boy, The foeman's blood, the avenger's joy;
But thee, my flower, whose was given By milder genii o'er the deed, The spirit of the whiteman's heaven Forbid not thee to weep,:— Nor will the Christian host, Nor will thy father's spirit grieve, To see thee, on the battle's eve, Lamenting, take a' mournful leave Of her who loved thee most: She was the rainbow to thy sight! Thy sun—thy heaven—of lost delight!
​To-morrow let us do or die!— But when the bolt of death is hurl'd, Ah! whither then with thee to fly, Shall Outalissi roam the world?— Seek we thy once loved home?— The hand is gone that cropp'd its flowers! Unheard their clock repeats its hours! Cold is the hearth within their bowers! And should we thither roam, Its echoes, and its empty tread, Would sound like voices from the dead!
Or shall we cross yon mountains blue, Whose streams my kindred nation quaff'd, And by my side, in battle true, A thousand warriors drew the shaft?— Ah there, in desolation, cold, The desert-serpent dwells alone, Where grass o'ergrow each mouldering bone, And stones themselves to ruin grown, Like me, are death-like old Then seek we not their camp—for there— The silence dwells of my despair!
But hark, the trump!—to morrow thou In glory's fires shall dry thy tears! Even from the land of shadows now My father's awful ghost appears Amidst the clouds that round us roll! He bids my soul for battle thirst— He bids me dry—the last!—the first! The only tears that ever burst From Outalissi s soul Because I may not stain with grief The death-song of an Indian chief."

# Theatrical speaker/How-d'ye-do and Good-bye

how d'ye-do, and good-bye.
One day Good-bye met How-d'ye-do, Too close to shun saluting; But soon the rival sisters flew From kissing to disputing.
Away!" says How-d'ye-do," your mine Appals my cheerful nature; No name so sad as yours is seen In sorrow's nomenclature.
Where'er I give one sunshine hour Your cloud comes in to shade it; Where'er I plant one bosom's flower, Your mildew drops to fade it.
Ere How-d'ye-do has turned each tongue To 'hope's delighted measure, Good bye in friendship's ear has rung The knell of parting pleasure!
From sorrows past, my chemic skill Draws smiles of consolation; While you, from present joys, distill The tears of separation."
Good-bye replied, "Your statement's true, And well your cause you've pleaded; But, pray, who'd think of How-d'ye-do, Unless Good-by preceded!
Without my prior influence, Could yours have ever flourish'd; And can your hand one flower dispense, But those my tears have nuorish'd?
​How oft,—if at the court of love Concealment is the fashion,— When How-d'ye-do has fail'd to move, Good-bye reveals the passion?
How oft, when Cupid's fires decline,— As every heart remembers, One sigh of mine, and only mine, Revives the dying embers?
Go, bid the timid lover choose, And I'll resign my charter, If he for ten kind How-d'ye do's, One kind Good-bye would barter!
From love and friendship's kindred source We both derive existence; And they would both lose half their force Without one joint assistance.
'Tis well the world our merit knows, Since time, there's no denying, One half in How-d'ye-doing goes, And t'other in Good-bying.

# Theatrical speaker/Death of Marmion

the death of marmion.
With fruitless labour, Clara bound And strove to staunch, the gushing wound The Monk, with unavailing cares, Exhausted all the Church's prayers. Ever, he said, that, close and near, A lady's voice was in his ear, And that the priest he could not hear, For that she ever sung.
​"In the lost battle, borne down by the flying, Where mingles war's rattle with groans of the dying!" So the notes rung;— "Avoid thee, fiend!—with cruel hand, Shake not the dying sinner's sand, Oh! look, my son, upon yon sign Of the Redeemer's grace divine; Oh! think no faith and bliss:— By many a death-bed I have been, And many a sinner's parting seen, But never aught like this."
The war, that for a space did fail, Now trebly thundering swell'd the gale, And-Stanley! was the cry;— A light on Marmion's visage spread, And fired his glazing eye: With dying hand, above his head He shook the fragment of his blade, And shouted "Victory; Charge, Chester, charge! On, Stanely, on!" Were the last words of Marmion.

# Theatrical speaker/Parody on Lord Ullin's Daughter

parody on 'lord ullin's daughter.
A weaver, unto Paisley bound, Cries 'Coachman, coachman tarry, And I will gi'e you eighteenpence, Me on the road to carry.'
Now wha be ye the road wad pass, This dreadfu' snawy weather? 'Oh! I'm a weaver frae the 'Shaws— My wab is on my shouther.'
And fast ahint your coach I've ran, Twa miles and mair thegither, And if ye dinna tak me on The snaw soon will me smother.
Outspake the hardy coachman then— 'Get ye upon the dicky; It is na for your eighteenpence, But out o' love I tak ye;
'And by my word, my weaver lad' In faith, we mauna tarry; For see, the snaw is very deep,' I'll drive, and that wi' fury.'
By this the snaw storm did increase The Leddies they were shriekin' The snaw-flakes cam and filled their mouths When they attempted speaking.
​But as the storm did fast increase, And as the wreaths did gather, The weaver's bundle had unloosed, And fa'en frac aff his shouther.
When, sore dismayed, through storm and shade, His loss he did discover, He left the coach, and sought in vain His bundle to recover.
'Come back! come back!' he cried in grief Through storm his voice did sound ill At lenth he stood, and wept, and cried, My bundle! O my bundle!
Twas vain; the snaw had covered o'er The wab, his view preventin' The coach drave on-the weaver stood Alane, his case lamentin',

# Thornburg v. Gingles/Concurrence White

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
* Concurring Opinions White O'Connor
* Concurrence/Dissent Stevens
​ JUSTICE WHITE, concurring.
I join Parts I, II, III-A, III-B, IV-A, and V of the Court's opinion and agree with JUSTICE BRENNAN's opinion as to Part IV-B. I disagree with Part III-C of JUSTICE BRENNAN's opinion.
JUSTICE BRENNAN states in Part III-C that the crucial factor in identifying polarized voting is the race of the voter and that the race of the candidate is irrelevant. Under this test, there is polarized voting if the majority of white voters vote for different candidates than the majority of the blacks, regardless of the race of the candidates. I do not agree. Suppose an eight-member multimember district that is 60% white and 40% black, the blacks being geographically located so that two safe black single-member districts could be drawn. Suppose further that there are six white and two black Democrats running against six white and two black Republicans. Under JUSTICE BRENNAN's test, there would be polarize voting and a likely § 2 violation if all the Republicans, including the two blacks, are elected, and 80% of the blacks in the predominantly black area vote Democratic. I take it that there would also be a violation in a single-member district that is 60% black, but enough of the blacks vote with the whites to elect a single black candidate who is not the choice of the majority of black voters. This is interest-group politics rather than a rule hedging against racial discrimination. I doubt that this is what Congress had in mind in amending § 2 as it did and it seems quite at odds with the discussion in Whitcomb v. Chavis, 403 U.S. 124, 149-160 (1971). Furthermore, on the facts of this case, there is no need to draw the voter/candidate distinction. The District Court did not and reached the current result except, in my view, with respect to District 23.

United States Supreme Court
122 U.S. 535
Thorn Wire Hedge Company v. Fuller
This is a writ of error brought under section 5 of the act of March 3, 1875,c. 137, (18 St. 470,) for the review of an order of the circuit court remanding a suit which had been removed from the district court of Freeborn county, Minnesota. The facts are these: Cassius D. Fuller and Burt G. Patrick, citizens of Minnesota, doing business as hard were merchants in the city of Albert Lea, began the suit October 12, 1886, against Jacob Larson, sheriff of the county, for trespass, in taking possession of their stock of goods, and destroying their business. The sheriff answered November 13, 1886, to the effect that his taking was under the authority of an execution issued upon a judgment in the same court in favor of the Thorn Wire Hedge Company, an Illinois corporation, against George A. Patrick, and that the goods were the property of the execution debtor, which had been transferred by him to Fuller & Patrick, the plaintiffs, in fraud of the rights of his creditors.
On the same day the Thorn Wire Hedge Company, J. W. Calkins, Aaron K. Stiles, and Gary G. Calkins, intervened as defendants in the action, and filed an answer, substantially the same in all respects as that of the sheriff, with the following in addition: 'That in making the levy of said execution, and in selling the said property under the same, the said sheriff [Larson] acted under the express direction of said intervenor, the Thorn Wire Hedge Company, and upon indemnity furnished him by said Thorn Wire Hedge Company, with said intervenors, J. W. Calkins, Aaron K. Stiles, and Gary G. Calkins, as sureties and bondsmen, according to the statute in such case made and provided, and in that behalf said intervenors acted, * * * i thout any malice or want of probable cause or intent to wrong anybody, and solely with intent to obtain payment of a just debt due from said George A. Patrick, and out of the property which he owned and had attempted to cover up, but which really belonged to him; * * * that, by reason of said facts, said intervenors, the Thorn Wire Hedge Company, J. W. Calkins, Aaron K. Stiles, and Gary G. Calkins, acting under the statute in such case made and provided, are the parties primarily liable for the acts and doings of said defendant Jacob Larson, and as such are interested in the matters in litigation in this action, and in the success of the defendant therein, and in resisting the claim of the plaintiffs therein. Wherefore said Thorn Wire Hedge Company, J. W. Calkins, Aaron K. Stiles, and Gary G. Calkins intervene in this action, and pray that said plaintiffs take nothing by this action.'
