Chapter XXI.
How covetousness can be conquered.
And in this case it will be the greatest victory and a lasting triumph, if, as is said, the conscience of the monk is not defiled by the possession of the smallest coin. For it is an impossibility for him who, overcome in the matter of a small possession, has once admitted into his heart a root of evil desire, not to be inflamed presently with the heat of a still greater desire. For the soldier of Christ will be victorious and in safety, and free from all the attacks of desire, so long as this most evil spirit does not implant in his heart a seed of this desire. Wherefore, though in the matter of all kinds of sins we ought ordinarily to watch the serpent’s head, yet in this above all we should be more keenly on our guard. For if it has been admitted it will grow by feeding on itself, and will kindle for itself a worse fire. And so we must not only guard against the possession of money, but also must expel from our souls the desire for it. For we should not so much avoid the results of covetousness, as cut off by the roots all disposition towards it. For it will do no good not to possess money, if there exists in us the desire for getting it.

Chapter XXII.
That one who actually has no money may still be deemed covetous.
For it is possible even for one who has no money to be by no means free from the malady of covetousness, and for the blessing of penury to do him no good, because he has not been able to root out the sin of cupidity: delighting in the advantages of poverty, not in the merit of the virtue, and satisfied with the burden of necessity, not without coldness of heart. For just as the word of the gospel declares of those who are not defiled in body, that they are adulterers in heart; so it is possible that those who are in no way pressed down with the weight of money may be condemned with the covetous in disposition and intent. For it was the opportunity of possessing which was wanting in their case, and not the will for it: which latter is always crowned by God, rather than compulsion. And so we must use all diligence lest the fruits of our labours should be destroyed to no purpose. For it is a wretched thing to have endured the effects of poverty and want, but to have lost their fruits, through the fault of a shattered will.

Chapter XIX.
A saying of S. Basil, the Bishop, directed against Syncletius.
There is current a saying of S. Basil, Bishop of Cæsarea, directed against a certain Syncletius, who was growing indifferent with the sort of lukewarmness of which we have spoken; who, though he professed to have renounced this world, had yet kept back for himself some of his property, not liking to be supported by the labour of his own hands, and to acquire true humility by stripping himself and by grinding toil, and the subjection of the monastery: “You have,” said he, “spoilt Syncletius, and not made a monk.”

## Footnotes

* ↑ Petschenig’s text has Syncletium as a proper name. Gazæus, however, thinks that it should be Syncleticum; i.e. Συγκλητικός or Senator: and in the saying of S. Basil at the close of the chapter actually reads (apparently without any ms. authority), Et Senatorem, inquit, perdidisti.

Chapter II.
How dangerous is the disease of covetousness.
But this disease coming upon us at a later period, and approaching the soul from without, as it can be the more easily guarded against and resisted, so, if it is disregarded and once allowed to gain an entrance into the heart, is the more dangerous to every one, and with the greater difficulty expelled. For it becomes “a root of all evils,” and gives rise to a multiplicity of incitements to sin.

Chapter XX.
How contemptible it is to be overcome by covetousness.
And so if we want to strive lawfully in our spiritual combat, let us expel this dangerous enemy also from our hearts. For to overcome him does not so much show great virtue, as to be beaten by him is shameful and disgraceful. For when you are overpowered by a strong man, though there is grief in being overthrown, and distress at the loss of victory, yet some consolation may be derived by the vanquished
from the strength of their opponent. But if the enemy is a poor creature, and the struggle a feeble one, besides the grief for defeat there is confusion of a more disgraceful character, and a shame which is worse than loss.
# Now westlin winds/Burns's farewel to Ayr

BURNS'S FAREWELL TO AYR.
Scenes of woe, and scenes of pleasure, Scenes that former thoughts renew, Scenes of woe, and scenes of pleasure, Now a sad and last adieu!
Bonny Doon, sae sweet at gloaming, Fare thee weel before I gang! ​Bonny Doon, where, early roaming,
First I weav'd the rustic sang!
Bowers, adieu! where love decoying, First enthrall'd this heart o' mine, There the saftest sweets enjoying——— Sweets the mem'ry ne'er shall tine!
Friends, so near my bosom ever, Ye hae rendered moments dear; But, alas ! when forced to sever, Then the stroke, oh how severe!
Friends! that parting tear reserve it, Though 'tis doubly dear to me! Could I think I did deserve it, How much happier should I be!
Scenes of woe, and scenes of pleasure, Scenes that former thoughts renew, Scenes of woe, and scenes of pleasure, Now a sad and last adieu.

# Now westlin winds/The green purse

THE GREEN PURSE.
I have a green purse and a wee pickle gow'd, A bonny piece land and planting on't, It fattens my flocks, and my barns it has stow'd, But the best thing of a's yet wanting on't; To grace it, and trace it, and gi'e me delight; To bless me and kiss me and comfort my sight, ​With beauty by day and kindness by night,
And nae mair my lane gang sauntring on't.
My Christy she's charming and good as she's fair; Her e'en and her mouth are enchanting sweet She smiles me on fire, her frowns gi'e despair : I love while my heart gaes panting wi't. Thou fairest and dearest delight of my mind, Whose gracious embraces by heaven were design'd For happier transports, and blesses resign'd, Nae langer delay the granting sweet.
For thee, bonny Christy, my shepherds and hinds, Shall carefully make the year's dainties thine, Thus freed frae laigh care while love fills our minds, Our days shall with pleasure and plenty shine, Then hear me and cheer me with soothing consent, Believe me and gi'e me no cause to lament, Since I ne'er can be happy, till thou say content, I'm pleas'd with Jamie, and he shall be mine.

NOW WESTLIN WINDS,
Now westlin winds and slaught'ring guns
Bring autumn's pleasant weather; The moorcock springs, on whirry wings, Amang the blooming heather: Now waving grain, wide o'er the plain, Delights the weary farmer;
And the moon shines bright when I rove at night To muse upon my charmer.
The patridge loves the fruitful fells, The plover loves the mountains, The woodcock haunts the lonely dells, The soaring heron the fountains; Through lofty groves the cushat roves, The path of man to shun it; The hazel bush o'erhangs the thrush, The spreading thorn the linnet.
Thus every kind their pleasure find, The savage and the tender; Some social join, and leagues combine, Some solitary wander: Avaunt! away the cruel sway, Tyrannic man's dominion; The sportsman's joy, the murd'ring cry, The flutt'ring gory pinion!
​ But, Peggy dear, the evening's clear, Thick flies the skimming swallow; The sky is blue, the fields in view
All fading green and yellow: Come, let us stray our gladsome way, And view the charms of nature, The rustling corn, the bushy thorn, And every happy creature.
We'll gently walk, and sweetly talk, Till the silent moon shine clearly; I'll grasp thy waist, and fondly press't, Swear how I love thee dearly. Not vernal show'rs to budding flow'rs, Nor autumn to the farmer, So dear can be as thou to me, My fair, my lovely charmer.

THE LASSES OF DUBLIN.
The meadows look cheerful, the birds sweetly sing So gaily they carrol the praises of Spring: Though Nature rejoices, poor Norah shall mourn, Until her dear Patrick again shall return.
Ye lasses of Dublin, ah hide your gay charms, Nor lure her dear Patrick from Norah's fond arms Though satins, and ribbands, and laces are fine, They hide not a heart with such feeling as mine.

# Now westlin winds/The beds of roses

THE BEDS OF ROSES.
As I was a walking one morning in May, The small birds were singing delightful and gay, There with my true love did often sport and play, Down among the bonny Beds of Roses.
My pretty brown girl come sit on my knee, For there's none in the world I can fancy but thee; Nor will I ever change my old love for a new, So my pretty brown girl do not leave me.
​My daddy and mammy, they often us'd to say,
That I was naughty boy and us'd to run away; If they bid me go to work I wou'd sooner go to play, Down amongst the bonny Beds of Roses.
If I had ten thousand bright guineas laid in store, I would give it all to the girl I adore, I would give it all, and twice as much more, And a chariot of gold to ride in.
No nymph on the plain with my love can compare, With a comb set with diamonds I'll plait up her hair; Of all love enjoyments, my love she will share, Down amongst the bonny Beds of Roses.
No creature on earth is so happy as me, While my charming young girl is set on my knee, A smile or a kiss brings fresh pleasure to me, Down amongst the bonny Beds of Roses.
My daddy may fret and my mammy may frown, For to walk with my true love I'll venture alone, Fast lock'd in my arms, all one love we will own, Down amongst the bonny Beds of Roses.
If ever I marry, I'll marry in May, When the flow'rs are springing, delightful and gay, Then my true love and I will dance, sing and play Down amongst the bonny Beds of Roses.
Then away to the church we will walk with an air, Kind Hymen proclaim us to be the happy pair, Her bosom I'll press, and her chains I will wear, Down amongst the bonny Beds of Roses.
​As I was a walking one morning in the Spring,
The Winter going out and the Summer coming in The cuckow sang cockow, you're welcome here again And I pray you stay among the green bushes.

# Now westlin winds/The rigs o' barley

IT WAS UPON A LAMMAS NIGHT,
It was upon a Lammas night, When corn-rigs were bonnie, Beneath the moon’s unclouded light, I hied awa to Annie; The time flew by wi' tentless heed, Till, 'tween the late and early Wi' sma' persuasion she agreed To see me through the barley.
The sky was blue, the wind was still, The moon was shining clearly. I set her down, wi' right good-will, ​Amang the rigs o' barley:
I kent her heart was a' my ain, I lov'd her most sincerely; I kiss'd her o'er and o'er again Amang the rigs o' barley.
I lock'd her in my fond embrace, Her heart was beating rarely; My blessing on that happy place Amang the rigs o' barley!
But by the moon and stars so bright That shone that night so clearly, She ay shall bliss that happy night, Amang the rigs o' barley.
I hae been blythe wi' comrades dear, I hae been merry drinkin', I hae been joyfu' gath'ring gear, I hae been happy thinkin': But a' the pleasures e'er I saw, Though three times doubled fairly That happy night was worth them a' Amang the rigs o' barley.

Epistle XXII.
To Peter, Bishop.
Gregory to Peter, Bishop of Aleria in Corsica.
Inasmuch as in the isle of Corsica, at the place Nigeunum, in the possession which is called Cellas Cupias belonging to the holy Roman Church, which by the providence of God we serve, we have ordered to be founded a basilica, with a baptistery, to the honour of the blessed Peter, Prince of the apostles, and of Laurentius the martyr, we therefore hereby exhort thy Fraternity to proceed at once to the aforesaid place, and with observance of the venerable solemnities of dedication to consecrate solemnly the aforesaid church and baptistery. Deposit also reverently the holy relics (sanctuaria) which you have received.

Epistle II.
To the Clergy and People of Ravenna.
Gregory to the clergy and people of the Church of Ravenna.
We have been informed that certain men, instigated by the malignant spirit, have wished to corrupt your minds by false speech with regard to the reputation of our brother and fellow-bishop Marinianus; saying that this our brother venerates the holy synod of Chalcedon less than becomes him. On this head both he himself in person will satisfy you all of the integrity of his faith, and we fully testify that, having been nursed from his cradle in the bosom of the holy Universal Church, he has held the right preaching of the faith with the attestation of his life. For he venerates the holy Nicene synod in which Arius, the Constantinopolitan, in which Macedonius, the first Ephesine, in which Nestorius, and the holy Chalcedonian, in which Dioscorus and Eutyches were condemned. And if any one presumes ever to speak anything against the faith of these four synods and against the tome and definition of pope Leo of holy memory, let him be anathema. Accordingly, receiving the fullest satisfaction, love ye your pastor in entire charity with a pure heart, that the intercession of the same your pastor, poured out purely before God, may avail to your profit.

## Footnotes

* ↑ See above, V. 48, note 3.
* ↑ The ground of this charge against Marinianus was doubtless his acceptance of the condemnation of the “Three Chapters” by the fifth council, which condemnation, notwithstanding Rome’s approval of it, was still objected to in many quarters as contravening the council of Chalcedon. See I. 16, note 3; IV. 2, note 1; IV. 38, 39; XIV. 12.

Epistle XXIV.
To Marinianus, Bishop.
Gregory to Marinianus, Bishop of Ravenna.
We have received by the deacon Virgilius
the letter of your Fraternity, in which you inform us that certain of the clergy and people have cried out that it is contrary to the laws and canons that the cause between your Church and the abbot Claudius should be examined and decided here. But, had they paid attention to ecclesiastical order and to the persons between whom the case is pending, they would by all means have abstained from needless complaint; especially as the cause could not be pleaded there, where the aforesaid abbot has complained of having endured injustice from your predecessor and of still suffering from it. For the objection might perhaps have been made if he had not appealed to a superior authority, and sought to have the rights of his case determined before it. Nay, but dost thou not thyself know that the case which arose on the part of the presbyter John against John of Constantinople, our brother and fellow-bishop, came before the Apostolic See, and was decided by our sentence? If, then, a cause was brought under our cognizance from that city where the prince is, how much more should an affair between you have the truth about it ascertained and be terminated here? But as for you, let not the words of foolish men there move you, and believe not that through us any detriment to your Church is caused. For, if you will enquire of the servant of God Secundinus your deacon and of Castorius our notary, you will learn from them how your predecessor had already desired to arrange this case. But your Fraternity has done wisely in sending persons hither for this business, and in not listening to vain words. Now we trust in Almighty God that this cause may be terminated in a way well-pleasing to God, so that no room may be left for renewed complaint and that neither party may be aggrieved unjustly. The sword which our most beloved son Peter, then deacon and guardian (defensor) in your parts, had left for us with your predecessor, please to send to us by the servant of God Secundinus, and Castorius the notary, the bearers of these presents.

* ↑ See III. 53, note 9, and reff there. It seems from what Gregory here says, that it was not in the East only, but also in Italy, at Ravenna, that the authority of the Roman See met with opposition, perhaps mainly on the ground of Ravenna having been an Imperial city, and being still the seat of the Exarch of Italy. Cf. III. 57, note 4.

To Theotistus.
Gregory to Theotistus, kinsman of the Emperor.
We know that the Christianity of your Excellency is always intent on good works and therefore we provide for you occasions for reaping reward, which you are certain to be glad of, so that we by so providing may have a share in your merits.
We therefore inform you that John the presbyter, the bearer of these presents, has come out free from those by whom he had been accused. For having, according to his request held a council, and subjected his faith to a subtle scrutiny, we found him guiltless of any wrong confession. And, inasmuch as he appeared to be, by the mercy of God, a professor and follower of the right faith, we absolved him by our definite sentence; especially as his accusers professed that they did not know what the heresy of the Marcionists, which they spoke of, was. On this account, saluting you with paternal affection, we request you to protect him with the grace of your favour. And, lest any one hereafter should be disposed to afflict him to no purpose, or in any way to cause him annoyance in this matter, let the advocacy of your Excellency so protest and defend him—and this the more instantly in consideration of your own reward—that no unjust affliction may any more consume him, and that the Creator and Redeemer of the human race, whom you worship with a sincere confession, may recompense your action in this behalf among your many good works. The month of October. Indiction 14.

To John, Bishop.
Gregory to John, Bishop of Syracuse.
Moved by the benevolence of the Apostolic See and by the order of ancient custom, we have thought fit to grant to thy Fraternity, who art known to have received the office of government in the Church of Syracuse, the use of the pallium; that is, at such times and in such manner as thou knowest without doubt that it was used by thy predecessor; nevertheless admonishing thee that, as thou rejoicest in having received from us the use of this decoration for the honour of thy priestly office, so also by probity of manners and deeds thou strive to adorn the office thou hast received unto our glory in Christ. For thus wilt thou be conspicuous for decorations mutually answering to each other, if with this habit for the body the excellence also of thy mind agrees.
For all privileges which are known to have been granted formerly to thy Church we confirm by our authority, and decree that they shall remain inviolate.
