CARTANDIS,
This is but a variation of the name Cartismandua, and the history of the queen to whom it was applied "forms a striking episode in the life of Maximus the Roman, who ruled in Britain in the fourth century. She was the" wife of Eugenius, the first King of Scots, a princess of the blood royal of Wales, and is cited as an instance of connubial affection."
Thus, says Mrs. Hall, in her interesting work on "the Queens before the Conquest," to which we are much indebted.
Eugenius having been slain in a battle fought against Maximus, who had invaded Scotland, his remains were consigned to the earth under another form of religion than that of his sorrowing widow, who, distressed with apprehension for the repose of his soul, remained constantly on the spot of his burial, occupying herself with prayers and devotions in behalf of his departed spirit. While she and some other noble ladies, like herself bereaved and distressed, were thus performing what they considered to be a pious duty, they were rudely interrupted by the Picts, who insisted on their obeying the edict of banishment from that part of the kingdom, promulgated by Maximus against the Scotch; accompanying their demands with insult and violence. Cartandis having complained to the conqueror of this usage, he out of compassion for grief and misfortunes, determined to protect her, and punish her molesters, and did so, notwithstanding that it nearly caused a breach with his Pictish allies, who insisted that she should be sent out of the country. She was suffered to remain to choose her own residence, and a maintenance was assigned to her commensurate with her royal birth and dignity.

CAROLINE MARIA,
Wife of Ferdinand the First, King of the two Sicilies, daughter of the Emperor Francis the First, and of Maria Theresa, born August 13th., 1752; an ambitious and intelligent woman, but, unfortunately, without firmness of character. According to the terms of her marriage contract, the young queen, after the birth of a male heir, was to have a seat in the council of state; but her impatience to participate in the government would not allow her to wait for this event, previous to which she procured the removal of the old minister, Sanucci, who possessed the confidence of the king and of the nation, and raised a Frenchman, named Acton, to the post of prime minister, who ruined the finances of the state by his profusion, and excited the hatred of all ranks by the introduction of a political inquisition. The queen, too, drew upon herself the dislike of the oppressed nation by co-operating in the measures of the minister; and banishment and executions were found insufficient to repress the general excitement.
The declaration by Naples against France (1768) was intended to give another turn to popular feeling; but the sudden invasion of the French drove the reigning family to Sicily. The revolution of Cardinal Ruffo in Calabria, and the republican party in the capital, restored the former rulers in 1799. The famous Lady Hamilton now exerted the greatest influence on the unhappy queen, on her husband, on the English ambassador and Admiral Nelson, and sacrificed more victims than Acton and Vanini had formerly done. After the battle of Marengo, 12,000 Russians could not prevent the conquest of Naples by the French, and the formation of a kingdom out of the Neapolitan dominions for Joseph, (Bonaparte, who was afterwards succeeded in the same by Joachino, (Murat.) The queen was not satisfied with the efforts which the English made for the restitution of the old dynasty, and thereupon quarrelled with Lord Bentinck, the British General in Sicily, who wished to exclude her from all influence in the government. She died in 1814, without having seen the restoration of her family to the throne of Naples.

MURASAKI SHIKIBU
Meguri-aite Mishi ya sore tomo Wakanu ma ni Kumo gakure nishi Yowa no tsuki kana.
MURASAKI SHIKIBU
I wandered forth this moonlight night, And some one hurried by; But who it was I could not see,— Clouds driving o’er the sky Obscured the moon on high.
This lady lost her mother when very young, and her father, the minister Toyonari Fujiwara, married again. Her skill at composing verses caused her stepmother to become jealous, and the latter treated her with great cruelty. She married Nobutaka, a nobleman, and the following verse was written by her daughter. She is famous in Japanese literature as the authoress of Genji Monogatari, a historical work in fifty-four sections, which she wrote in the monastery of Ishiyama, near Kyōto. She was one night taking a moonlight stroll on her verandah and caught sight of her lover; but, though she barely recognized him, the Kokinshiu, from which the verse is taken, adds that you are to understand that her reputation was overshadowed from that moment, like the moon behind the clouds. She died in the year 992.
Sore tomo can mean either ‘though I glanced at him’, or else (wakanu, I did not recognize) ‘that friend’.

KO-SHIKIBU NO NAISHI
Ohoye yama Ikuno no michi no Tohokereba Mada fumi mo mizu Ama-no-Hashidate.
LADY-IN-WAITING KO-SHIKIBU
So long and dreary is the road, That I have never been To Ama-no-Hashidate; Pray, how could I have seen The verses that you mean?
Koshikibu was the daughter of the writer of verse No. 56, and early became known as a poetess. The story goes, that she was suspected of getting help from her mother in composing poetry; and on one occasion, during the absence of the latter at Ama-no-Hashidate, she was selected to take part in a poetical contest at Court. A day or two before the event a nobleman laughingly asked her, if she was not expecting a letter from her mother, hinting that she would otherwise be unable to produce a poem good enough for the contest, and she, touching his sleeve, improvised the above verse. The original brings in not only Ama-no-Hashidate, a picturesque bay in the Province of Tango, but also two other proper names, Mount Ohoye and Ikuno, which are on the road there from Kyōto; but this the translation fails to do.
The last couplet can mean ‘I have not walked to or seen Ama-no-Hashidate’, and also, ‘I have not seen any letter from Ama-no-Hashidate.’

THE MOTHER OF THE MINISTER OF STATE

The real name of this lady was Taka, and her son’s name was Korechika Fujiwara. She lived about A.D. 1004, and it is supposed that this verse was written in a fit of jealousy against her husband; she is shown in the picture all alone at home bewailing her lot.

IZUMI SHIKIBU
My life is drawing to a close, I cannot longer stay, A pleasant memory of thee I fain would take away; So visit me, I pray.
This lady was the daughter of Masamine Ōye, and the wife of Michisada Tachibana, Governor of the Province of Izumi, hence her name; and also was the mother of the author of verse No. 60. She lived about the latter end of the tenth century, and was one of the lady poets who gave distinction to that period. The verse was addressed to her husband or lover just before her death, and in the illustration we see her on her deathbed, with two servants in the foreground.

AKAZOME EMON
Waiting and hoping for thy step, Sleepless in bed I lie, All through the night, until the moon, Leaving her post on high, Slips sideways down the sky.
This writer is again a lady; she is said to have addressed the verse to Michinaga Fujiwara, who held the office of Regent under the Emperor Ichijō (A.D. 987–1011) and his two successors. Regent here must be understood not exactly as a temporary or vice Emperor, but rather as the Emperor’s confidential adviser, and the official through whom all communications were made. Notice the moon in the illustration just disappearing behind the hill.

ISE NO TAIU
Inishie no Nara no Miyako no Yaezakura Kyō kokonoe ni Nioi nuru kana.
THE LADY ISE
The double cherry trees, which grew At Nara in past days, Now beautify this Palace, and Their blossoms all ablaze Perfume the royal ways.
The Lady Ise was another of the famous literary women, that distinguished the Imperial Court at the end of the tenth century; she was associated with the Province of Ise, from which she gets her name. Nara was the capital city from A.D. 709 to 784, after which the Court moved to Kyōto. It is related, that during the reign of the Emperor Ichijō (A.D. 987–1011) a nobleman presented him with a spray of the eight-petalled cherry trees that grew at Nara; the Emperor was so delighted, that he had the trees, or perhaps cuttings from them, brought to Kyōto, and this verse commemorates the event.
Kokonoe (Palace) really means ‘ninefold’, and refers to the nine enclosures of the Imperial Residence; it is here contrasted with yaezakura, the eightfold or double cherry blossom.

CHŪ-NAGON YAKAMOCHI

THE IMPERIAL ADVISER YAKAMOCHI
When on the Magpies’ Bridge I see The Hoar-frost King has cast His sparkling mantle, well I know The night is nearly past, Daylight approaches fast.
The author of this verse was Governor of the Province of Kōshū, and Viceroy of the more or less uncivilized northern and eastern parts of Japan; he died A.D. 785. There was a bridge or passageway in the Imperial Palace at Kyōto called the Magpies’ Bridge, but there is also an allusion here to the old legend about the Weaver and Herdsman. It is said, that the Weaver (the star Vega) was a maiden, who dwelt on one side of the River of the Milky Way, and who was employed in making clothes for the Gods. But one day the Sun took pity upon her, and gave her in marriage to the Herdboy (the star Aquila), who lived on the other side of the river. But as the result of this was that the supply of clothes fell short, she was only permitted to visit her husband once a year, viz. on the seventh night of the seventh month; and on this night, it is said, the magpies in a dense flock form a bridge for her across the river. The hoar frost forms just before day breaks. The illustration shows the Herdboy crossing on the Bridge of Magpies to his bride.

THE FIRST ADVISER OF STATE KINTŌ
This waterfall’s melodious voice Was famed both far and near; Although it long has ceased to flow, Yet still with memory’s ear Its gentle splash I hear.
This poet was the father of the writer of verse No. 64, and was a member of the Fujiwara family at the zenith of their power; he was a great statesman and scholar, and died in the year 1041. The verse was written in praise of a waterfall that had been made by the orders of the Emperor Saga early in the ninth century, but which had by this time ceased to exist; and the illustration well shows the watercourse now run dry.

SEI SHŌ-NAGON
Yo wo komete Tori no sorane wa Hakaru tomo Yo ni Ausaka no Seki wa yurusaji.
THE LADY SEI
Too long to-night you’ve lingered here, And, though you imitate The crowing of a cock, ’twill not Unlock the tollbar gate; Till daylight must you wait.
The Lady Sei, Shō-nagon being merely a title, was the daughter of the writer of verse No. 42, and the authoress of Makura-no-Sōshi, or ‘A story book to keep under one’s pillow’; she was, with the writer of verse No. 57, one of the greatest of Japanese authors. She was a lady-in-waiting at Court, and retired to a convent in the year 1000. This verse has reference to the Chinese story of Prince Tan Chu, who was shut up with his retainers in the town of Kankokkan; the city gates were closed from sunset to cockcrow, but during the night one of the Prince’s followers so successfully imitated the crowing of a cock, that the guards, thinking it was daybreak, opened the gates, and the fugitives escaped under cover of the darkness. It is related, that the Emperor once noticed Lady Sei admiring the freshly fallen snow, and asked ‘How is the snow of Korohō?’ She at once raised the window curtain, showing that she recognized the allusion to the verse ‘The snow of Korohō is seen by raising the curtain’.
