Originally published in Athenæum.
Em quanto quiz Fortuna que tivesse
While Fortune willèd that for me remain  Some grateful esp'rance of some glad content,  The joys of gentle thought a longing lent To pen life's pleasures and depaint its pain;
But Cupid, fearing lest such writ contain  Lere for the judgments Love hath never shent,  With darkling tortures 'gan my wits torment That of his treach'ry I should ne'er complain.
O ye, whom Love's obligeance may subject  To divers wills! whenso ye read thereof  Bound in one booklet cases so diverse,
(Which all be truthful; facts without defect,)  Learn that according as ye have the love,  So shall ye have the lore, of this my verse.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 149/Issue 1921/No mundo poucos annos, e cansados

Originally published in Athenæum.
No mundo poucos annos, e cansados
Few weary winters pight in worldly pale  I lived, the sport of mis'ry dour and dure;  So soon my youthful day-tide wox obscure Hardly a five poor lustres told the tale.
I ran o'er lands and o'er long seas made sail,  Seeking life's evils or to kill or cure:  But what, in fine, our fate shall not ensure Ensure no travails, ban nor bane nor bale.
Portugale mother'd me; the green, the dear Alemquer homed me, but that air pollute Which ever breathed in fleshly vase of me,
Made me the fishes' food in thee, thou brute Sea! beating Habash-coast so greedy-fere, And ah! so distant from my fair countree.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 149/Issue 1931/"My Heart Before the God of Innocence I lay me"

"My Heart Before the God of Innocence I lay me"
My heart before the God of innocence I lay me,  The tears I weep he doth behold: My sorrowing he hath healed, his shield and buckler stay me,  The wretched are his care of old.
Blest be thy name, my God, who gayest me for guerdon  Innocence and its noble pride! Thou who, to guard the sleep that must this body burden,  Wilt watch my desolate bier beside.
In life's gay feasting hall, a luckless reveller bidden  One hour I sit, one hour I die: I die, and on the grave where soon I shall be hidden  No man will come to heave a sigh.
Hail! fields I used to love: hail! hedges' leafy sweetness,  And lonely, laughing woodland prime; Heaven, canopy of earth, and nature's fine completeness,  All hail! All hail, this one last time!
Ah! long may those my friends behold your hallowed beauty,  Deaf though they be to my good-byes! May they die full of days, bewept of tender duty!  May one that loves them close their eyes!
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 149/Issue 1921/Increased Flax Culture in America

A gentleman from Marshaltown, Pennsylvania, reports that a single field of forty acres in that State has produced six hundred and seventy bushels of flax this season. This is a yield of almost seventeen bushels per acre, which is nearly double the average of former years. The Chicago Tribune remarks: "All the reports show that the present crop of flax is immense—the largest ever raised in this country. The cultivation of flax-seed has grown very fast in the past few years, though the increased acreage this season is due largely to the prices that were obtained last. The crushers will probably not find it necessary to loan seed to the farmers next spring to encourage flax culture, and it is doubtful if they will care to do so again anyway and bind the farmers to deliver the new seed to them at a fixed price. The fixed price was not on the right side of the fence this year."
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 149/Issue 1931/"Hope, Child! To-Morrow"

"Hope, Child! To-Morrow"
Hope, child! to-morrow! Hope! and then again to-morrow,  And then to-morrow still! Trust in a future day. Hope! and each morn that skies new light from dawn shall borrow,  As God is there to bless, let us be there to pray.
Our faults, poor angel mine, are cause of our affliction,  Perhaps if on our knees we rest incessant thus, When on the innocent God pours his benediction,  And the repentant, last he will remember us.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 149/Issue 1931/"My Daughter, Hence and Pray! See, Night is Stealing o'er us"

"My Daughter, Hence and Pray! See, Night is Stealing o'er us"
My daughter, hence and pray! see, night is stealing o'er us, Golden the planet dawns to pierce the clouds before us:  Grey mist now veils the hills — ah! faint, ah! vague are they; And scarce one distant wheel rolls through the shadows. Listen! All seek their rest at home, and where the highways glisten,  The trees to evening winds shake out the dust of day.
And twilight, opening forth night's realm the stars that hideth, Bids each bright orb declare where each in light abideth;  The gradual fringes red in western skies decay; Like silver in the shade, the night of waves is showing; Furrows, and hedge, and wood, all indistincter growing,  Until the traveller misdoubts him of the way.
The day for evil is, for weariness and anger. Pray: for the night is here serene in calm and languor!  The shepherd old, the winds through ruinous towers that sweep, The waterpools, the flocks, with hoarse and broken bleating, All suffer, all complain. The land at length is treating  Her long fatigue to love, to worship and to sleep.
And angels at this hour unfold to babes their treasures, The while we haste away to seek our empty pleasures,  And little children now, with eyes upturned above, Bared feet and folded hands, upon the pavement praying, All at this selfsame hour, one selfsame prayer are saying;  Pray God forgive our sins — "our Father," God of love!
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 149/Issue 1931/Autumn Leaves

Autumn Leaves
Before the songs I joy in singing, So young, such wafts of perfume bringing,  Endured the brunt the world allows, Far from the crowd and all its crushing, Ah! how they bloomed, a garland blushing,  How green and fragrant, on my brows!
Now torn from off the tree that beareth, Flowers which the blighting northwind teareth,  — Like a dream's leavings pitiable — They wander, scattered hither and thither, In dustiness and mud to wither,  At the winds' and the waters' will.
And like dead leaves in autumn showered, I see them, of their bloom deflowered,  Blown all along the barren lea; The while a crowd that presses round me, And treads to earth the wreath that crowned me,  Goes laughing at the naked tree.
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 149/Issue 1921/Signs of Spring

Signs of Spring
I. Though meadows still are sere, and hillsides dun, Nor in the forest any bud is seen, Yet the wet moss beneath the oak is green, Where gleams with kindlier ray the setting sun, And through the trees the distant hills are fair, Touched with a tint of spring's ethereal blue; In sunny pastures streaks of emerald hue Show where a brook is wandering slowly there. And sudden, on a soft and starless night, The myriad voices of the insect world Wake from their winter sleep with new delight, And a far river, with its waters whirled, Doth wildly rush, loosed from its icy chain, Turbulent, glad — and spring has come again!
 II. Come to the woods, the soft and balmy air, Blows upward from the south, and wooes us sweet, And since spring is abroad, come, let us greet The beauty of her presence everywhere. Come to the forest, where the oak-trees stand Like giant patriarchs through the changing year, The autumn leaves are rustling pale and sere Among their branches, — yet a flowery hand I see beneath them; ah! what secrets sweet, And little tenderest blossoms do unfold Here in this spot beside the oak-trees old, Like fair young children, tired from their play, Who seek for shelter, I behold to-day A vision of wind-flowers blowing at their feet!
# Littell's Living Age/Volume 149/Issue 1921/The Highland Tartan

Originally published in Blackwood's Magazine.
The Highland Tartan
Dear to each Highland soldier's heart  The Tartan of his clan, Symbol of glory and of pride  To every Highland man, Whether he dwell 'mid Athole's hills,  Or where the winding Tay, By Birnam's glens and forests fair,  To ocean wends its way; Or nearer to the northern star,  Where snows the mountain crown, And towering over silver lakes,  Stern peaks of granite frown.
In every country, far or near,  Where Highland men are known, The Tartan plaid is greeted still  With homage all its own. Still to the pibroch's stirring strains  On many a foreign shore, The Highland clans press nobly on  To victory, as of yore. True to traditions of the past,  True to their ancient fame, May Caledonia's children add  Fresh glories to her name.

# Letters of John Huss Written During His Exile and Imprisonment/Letter 16, To John of Chlum

LETTER XVI.
TO THE SAME.
My keepers have already taken themselves away. I am no longer supplied with food, and I am ignorant of the fate that awaits me in my prison. I implore you to go with the other Nobles to the Emperor, to induce him to put an end to my captivity, that he fall not, on account of me, into sin and confusion. I beseech you also to come and see me with our Nobles of Bohemia, for it is necessary that I should speak with you. Noble Seignior John, go and speedily find the Emperor with the Seignior Wenceslaus and all the others; it would be dangerous to wait: it is important for me that it should be done as soon as possible. Come quickly, and learn the other things which I desire you to do. I fear that the Grand Master of the Papal Court may carry me away with him this night, for he has remained ​to-day at the monastery. The Bishop of Constance has written to me that he would not treat any affair with me. The cardinals have done the same.
If you love the unfortunate Huss, take care the king gives me guards of his own court, and that he delivers me from prison this evening.
Written in prison on Sunday evening.
My noble lord, delay not!

# Letters of John Huss Written During His Exile and Imprisonment/Letter 2, To Zawyssius, his Calumniator

LETTER II.
TO ZAWYSSIUS, HIS CALUMNIATOR.
Grace to you and peace from our Lord Jesus Christ. It has come to my ears that you have accused me of heresy. If this be true, send me word, and you shall know then, by the grace of God, what is the faith which I confess, which I defend, which I do not dissemble in the shade, but which I profess as becomes a true Christian. And, would to God that your eyes might be opened as to the manner in which, for nearly thirty years, you have shorn your flock in Praschatitz. Where do you dwell? How do you labour? How do you feed your flock? You have forgotten these words of the Lord:—“Wo unto the shepherds, who only care for themselves, and do not feed their sheep!” Tell me, I pray you, are you penetrated with that part of the gospel of Christ, which says—“The good shepherd goeth before his sheep, and his sheep follow him; for they know his voice.” The time will come when you must render an account of your sheep and of your numerous benefices, concerning which it is said in your own ordinances, that he who can live upon one, cannot retain another without committing a mortal sin.
​Meditate, then, on these things, and accuse not your neighbour of heresy. If you know him to be a heretic, you ought to warn him, according to the Apostle’s precept, a first and a second time; if he refuse to listen to you, avoid him; and even should you be chosen to condemn him, still you must demonstrate by the Scriptures, that you condemn him justly, and deliver over his books to the flames.
I write you these few lines, to warn you fraternally, according to the precept of Christ, which tells us:—“If thy brother has just sinned, warn him in secret.” Receive, then, my words, my brother, and declare, if you have thus spoken of me. Prove that I am a heretic, and I will, with humility, correct myself, and you shall receive a reward for having rescued a man from error. Nevertheless, I hope by the grace of Almighty God, that my faith in our Lord Jesus Christ is as great as yours, and that I am not less prepared to die for it with humility.

LETTER XVII.
TO THE SAME.
[He tells him of the consolation which he has received in prison.]
I have received great consolation from the visit of the Bohemian noblemen, but I was much distressed at not having been permitted to see you. Master Christian has left the city, bearing the message of Seignior Henry, ​and also of Master Jessenitz. I think the Council is much agitated on account of the Pope’s flight. In all things executed, or to be executed, God should be consulted before human reason. This is what they have not done, and it is why ******* If God grants me a happy issue I will not forget this faithful friend; but if my death is only deferred, it is to you I recommend him.
I have discovered that the Seignior William is my friend; return him thanks for me.
I saw Wenceslaus Duba shedding tears when he spoke to me, and the Seignior Mozka shewed me all the kindness of a friend.
* ↑ Hist. et Monum. Johann. Huss, Epist. Iv.
* ↑ The regret thus expressed by Huss would lead to the presumption that this letter, like the preceding, was addressed to John of Chlum, whose name is not found among those of the Seigniors and friends of John Huss, mentioned by the latter as having visited him in prison.
* ↑ Here the text is deficient.
* ↑ It is probable that this friend, whom he does not name, is the one to whom he has already alluded in several preceding letters.

LETTER XIV.
TO THE SAME.
My good Seignior, endeavour to obtain a Bible for me, and send it by this excellent man; and if Peter, your secretary, has any ink, let him give me some, with a few pens and an inkstand.
I have no news of my Polish servant, nor of Master Cardinal; I have learned only that your noblemen are here with the Emperor; wherefore, I conjure you to entreat his Majesty in my favour, and in the name of Almighty ​God, who has so generously bestowed his gifts upon him, and on account of the justice and truth which ought to be made manifest for the honour of God and the advancement of his Church; beseech his Majesty to deliver me from my chains, that I may be enabled to dispose of myself, and appear before a public assembly. Learn that I have been very ill, and have been obliged to take remedies, but that I am now better. Salute, I pray you, the Bohemian noblemen who are at the King’s court.
