# Pastorals: Dedication to Lord Wenman

A panegyric to Sir William Wenman, Basse's patron, placed at the beginning of Basse's collection of Pastorals in imitation of Spenser. The dedication is supposed to have been written before Lord Wenman's death in 1640.
Since, (Noble Lord), your groves have been the bowers
Where Shepherds' songs not only sung have been,
But Shepherds' selves been sheltered from the powers
Of Summer's heat and blasts of Winters keen,
The gentle fruits of all these friendly hours
To climb your hand are thus ambitious seen.
For Swain is none so simple on the green
But knows these honours all so much your due,
That other claim there can be none between
Your title unto them and theirs to you.
For this, that of all Islands is the Queen,
Never Maecenas bred more nobly true:
And O what virtue more, than life to give
To verse, whereby all other virtues live ?
The famous Shepherd Collin, whom we look
Never to match, (though follow him we may
That follow sheep, and carry scrip and hook)
By just advantage of his time and way
Has placed the months in his eternal book,
All in their own due order and array;
(A Calendar to last, we cannot say
For one year, but as long as years shall be);
Yet of the week has left me every day
Virtues to sing, though in more low degree.
And could they reach, my Lord, a higher key,
Yours as the Shepherd is the songs should be.
Great merit may claim grace in Noble breast;
Favour is greatest where desert is least.
And were I not an English workman right,
That never thought his work enough well done.
These sooner had unto your noble sight
Been offered by the all-beholding Sun.
Pardon the bashful Shepherd: Tis no slight
Adventure through a world of eyes to run.
As in some Climate half a year is spun
Away by Night before the Day appeared.
And when Aurora there hath rays begun
There is again no Night for half a year;
Like that is this my Muse, who, having won
From half an age’s sleep a Morning clear
Of your aspect and favour, hopes she may
For so long Night purchase perpetual Day.
Your Lordship's very humble servant,
William Basse

Spring Morning—II
Willie,
Roget, droop not, see the spring Is the earth enamelling, And the birds on every tree Greet this mom with melody: Hark, how yonder thrustle chants it. And her mate as proudly vants it See how every stream is dress'd By her margin with the best Of Flora's gifts; she seems glad For such brooks such flow'rs she had. ​All the trees are quaintly tired With green buds, of all desired; And the hawthorn every day Spreads some httle show of May: See the primrose sweetly set By the much-lov'd violet, All the banks do sweetly cover, As they would invite a lover With his lass to see their dressing And to grace them by their pressing: Yet in all this merry tide When all cares are laid aside, Roget sits as if his blood Had not felt the quick'ning good Of the sun, nor cares to play, Or with songs to pass the day As he wont: fie, Roget, fie, Raise thy head, and merrily Tune us somewhat to thy reed: See our flocks do freely feed, Here we may together sit, And for music very fit Is this place; from yonder wood Comes an echo shrill and good, Twice full perfectly it will Answer to thine oaten quill. Roget, droop not then, but sing Some kind welcome to the spring.

The Charm
Son of Erebus and Night, Hie away; and aim thy flight Where consort none other fowl Than the bat and sullen owl; Where upon the limber grass Poppy and mandragoras With like simples not a few Hang for ever drops of dew. ​Where flows Lethe without coil Softly like a stream of oil. Hie thee thither, gentle Sleep: With this Greek no longer keep. Thrice I charge thee by my wand; Thrice with moly from my hand Do I touch Ulysses' eyes, And with the jaspis: Then arise, Sagest Greek. . . . .

The Siren's Song
Steer hither, steer your wingèd pines, All beaten mariners, Here lie Love's undiscover'd mines, A prey to passengers; Perfumes far sweeter than the best Which makes the Phœnix' urn and nest. Fear not your ships. Nor any to oppose you save our lips, But come on shore, Where no joy dies till love hath gotten more.
For swelling waves our panting breasts, Where never storms arise, Exchange; and be awhile our guests: For stars gaze on our eyes. The compass love shall hourly sing, And as he goes about the ring, We will not miss To tell each point he nameth with a kiss.
Chorus.
Then come on shore, Where no joy dies till love hath gotten more.

Thomalin.
Where is every piping lad That the fields are not yclad With their milk-white sheep? ​Tell me: is it holiday, Or if in the month of May Use they long to sleep?
Piers.
Thomalin, 'tis not too late, For the turtle and her mate Sitten yet in nest: And the thrustle hath not been Gath'ring worms yet on the green, But attends her rest. Not a bird hath taught her young, Nor her morning's lesson sung In the shady grove: But the nightingale in dark Singing woke the mounting lark: She records her love. Not the sun hath with his beams Gilded yet our crystal streams; Rising from the sea, Mists do crown the mountains' tops, And each pretty myrtle drops: 'Tis but newly day.

To England
Hail, thou my native soil! thou blessed plot Whose equal all the world affordeth not! Show me who can so many crystal rills, Such sweet-clothed valleys or aspiring hills; Such wood-ground, pastures, quarries, wealthy mines; Such rocks in whom the diamond fairly shines; And if the earth can show the like again, Yet will she fail in her sea-ruling men. From Britannia's Pastorals.

## Concurring Opinion

## Dissenting Opinion

    Burger
Supreme Court of the United States
407 U.S. 493
Peters v. Kiff, Warden
Certiorari to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
No. 71-5078. Argued: February 22, 1972 --- Decided: June 22, 1972
Petitioner contends in this habeas corpus proceeding that the systematic exclusion of Negroes from the grand jury that indicted him and the petit jury that convicted him deprived him of his rights to due process and equal protection. The Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court's denial of relief on the ground that petitioner, not being a Negro, suffered no unconstitutional discrimination.
Held: The judgment is reversed. Pp. 495-507.
441 F. 2d 370, reversed and remanded.
MR. JUSTICE MARSHALL, joined by MR. JUSTICE DOUGLAS and MR. JUSTICE STEWART, concluded that:
    1. Petitioner, under the circumstances of this case, has not abandoned his challenge to the petit jury by failing to include it in the list of questions presented by the writ of certiorari. Pp. 495-496.
    2. A State cannot, consistent with due process, subject a defendant to indictment by a grand jury or trial by a petit jury that has been selected in an arbitrary and discriminatory manner contrary to federal constitutional and statutory requirements, and regardless of any showing of actual bias, petitioner had standing to attack the systematic exclusion of Negroes from grand jury and petit jury service. Pp. 496-505.
MR. JUSTICE WHITE, joined by MR. JUSTICE BRENNAN and MR. JUSTICE POWELL, would implement the longstanding and strong policy of 18 U.S.C. § 243 against excluding qualified jurors on account of race by permitting petitioner to challenge his conviction on the ground that Negroes were arbitrarily excluded from the grand jury that indicted him. Hill v. Texas, 316 U.S. 400. Pp. 505-507.
MARSHALL, J., announced the Court's judgment and delivered an opinion, in which DOUGLAS and STEWART, JJ., joined. WHITE, J., filed an opinion concurring in the judgment, in which BRENNAN and POWELL, JJ., joined, post, p. 505. BURGER, C.J., filed a dissenting opinion, in which BLACKMUN and REHNQUIST, JJ., joined, post, p. 507.
Edward T.M. Garland argued the cause and filed a brief for petitioner.
Dorothy T. Beasley, Assistant Attorney General of Georgia, argued the cause for respondent. With her on the brief were Arthur K. Bolton, Attorney General, Harold N. Hill, Jr., Executive Assistant Attorney General, and Courtney Wilder Stanton and David L.G. King, Jr., Assistant Attorneys General.
Jack Greenberg, James M. Nabrit III, and Charles Stephen Ralston filed a brief for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc., as amicus curiae, urging reversal.

Peters v. Hobby
Argued: April 19, 1955. --- Decided: June 6, 1955
Mr. Justice BLACK, concurring.
I would prefer to decide this case on the constitutional questions discussed by Mr. Justice Douglas or on some of the other constitutional questions necessarily involved. See United States v. Lovett, 328 U.S. 303, 66 S.Ct. 1073, 90 L.Ed. 1252. See my dissents in Dennis v. United States, 341 U.S. 494, 579-581, 71 S.Ct. 857, 902-903, 95 L.Ed. 1137; American Communications Ass'n v. Douds, 339 U.S. 382, 445-453, 70 S.Ct. 674, 707-711, 94 L.Ed. 925. See also my concurring opinion in Joint Anti-Fascist Refugee Committee v. McGrath, 341 U.S. 123, 142-149, 71 S.Ct. 624, 633 637, 95 L.Ed. 817. I agree that it is generally better for this Court not to decide constitutional questions in cases which can be adequately disposed of on non-constitutional grounds. See Proprietors of Charles River Bridge v. Proprietors of Warren Bridge, 11 Pet. 420, 553, 9 L.Ed. 773. But this generally accepted practice should not be treated as though it were an inflexible rule to be inexorably followed under all circumstances. See Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer, 343 U.S. 579, 584-585, 72 S.Ct. 863, 865-866, 96 L.Ed. 1153. Here, as in the Youngstown case, I think it would be better judicial practice to reach and decide the constitutional issues, although I agree with the Court that the Presidential Order can justifiably be construed as denying the Loyalty Review Board the power exercised in this case. For this reason I join the opinion of the Court. But I wish it distinctly understood that I have grave doubt as to whether the Presidential Order has been authorized by any Act of Congress. That order and others associated with it embody a broad, far-reaching espionage program over government employees. These orders look more like legislation to me than properly authorized regulations to carry out a clear and explicit command of Congress. I also doubt that the Congress could delegate power to do what the President has attempted to do in the Executive Order under consideration here. And of course the Constitution does not confer lawmaking power on the President. Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. v. Sawyer, 343 U.S. 579, 72 S.Ct. 863, 96 L.Ed. 1153.
I have thought it necessary to add these statements to the Court's opinion in order that the President's power to issue the order might not be considered as having been decided sub silentio.

# Ode on the Mammoth Cheese Weighing over 7,000 Pounds

    We have seen the Queen of cheese,
    Laying quietly at your ease,
    Gently fanned by evening breeze –
    Thy fair form no flies dare seize.
    All gaily dressed soon you'll go
    To the great Provincial Show,
    To be admired by many a beau
    In the city of Toronto.
    Cows numerous as a swarm of bees –
    Or as the leaves upon the trees –
    It did require to make thee please,
    And stand unrivalled Queen of Cheese.
    May you not receive a scar as
    We have heard that Mr. Harris
    Intends to send you off as far as
    The great World's show at Paris.
    Of the youth – beware of these -
    For some of them might rudely squeeze
    And bite your cheek; then songs or glees
    We could not sing o' Queen of Cheese.
    We'rt thou suspended from baloon,
    You'd caste a shade, even at noon;
    Folks would think it was the moon
    About to fall and crush them soon.
# Ode on the Departing Year - Coleridge (1796)/Letter

July 6th 1894
Dear Sirs
Thanks for report. Please state condition and price.
Coleridge's "Ode on the Departing Year" is one of the rarest books in modern poetical literature, only some five, or at most six, copies being known.
​It is very interesting to find another turning up now.
Yours truly

# Ode on the Departing Year - Coleridge (1796)/Lines addressed to a young man of Fortune

LINES Addressed to a young man of Fortune who abandoned himself to an indolent and causeless Melancholy.
HENCE, that fantastic Wantonness of Woe O Youth to partial Fortune vainly dear! To plunder'd Want's half-shelter'd Hovel go, Go, and some hunger-bitten Infant hear Moan haply in a dying Mother's Ear; Or when the cold and dismal fog-damps brood O'er the rank church-yard with sear elm-leaves strew'd, Pace round some Widow's grave, whose dearer Part Was slaughter'd, where o'er his uncoffin'd limbs The flocking Flesh-birds scream'd! Then, while thy Heart Groans, and thine eyes a fiercer Sorrow dims, Know (and the Truth shall kindle, thy young mind) What Nature makes thee mourn, she bids thee heal! O abject! if to sickly Dreams resign'd All effortless thou leave Earth's common-weal A prey, to the thron'd Murderers of Mankind!
S. T. Coleridge.
# Ode on the Departing Year - Coleridge (1796)/Cutting

Although not part of the original document, the letter is included in the scan and has been transcribed for its historical interest.
Many of the first editions of the writings of S. T. Coleridge are of very considerable scarcity, but the most uncommon of all is a thin quarto pamphlet of sixteen pages, entitled, "Ode | on the | Departing Year. | By S. T. Coleridge. [Quotation from Æschylus] | Bristol; | Printed by N.Biggs, | and sold by J. Parsons, Paternoster-row, London. | 1796." Of this brochure no copy is believed to have appeared for either public or private sale during the last eighteen years; and indeed, only three examples in all were until quite recently known to Coleridge specialists. One of these is in the Rowlant Library, the possession of Mr. Frederick Locker-Lampson; a second is preserved in the British Museum—both being sadly "cut." Such being the case, the pamphlet has naturally been the object of keen search on the part of hunters after bibliographical rarities.
But a short while since a copy came to light, and was sold by Messrs. Sotheby, Wilkinson and Hodge on April 18 (the third day of the Buckley sale) for £21 10s., a by no means unreasonable price. It was bound up in a volume of old quarto tracts, amongst which was an example of Coleridge's "Fears in Solitude," Bristol, 1798; and also a very poor and much dilapidated copy of Wordsworth's "An Evening Walk," London, 1793. The volume was bought upon commission for Mr. Thomas J. Wise. And now another specimen has been unearthed. It was discovered by a fortunate individual who espied it lurking in a bundle of old books and tracts which was sold, with other lots, in the Romney sale at Christie's on Thursday last. It was not separately catalogued, and therefore passed almost unnoticed, and was knocked down for the modest sum of £4 3s., a splendid bargain for its lucky finder, who generously passed it on to his friend Mr. Wise. Both copies are in first-rate condition, being fresh and clean, with the leaves entirely untrimmed.

237 U.S. 432
Pennsylvania Railroad Company v. Keystone Elevator & Warehouse Company
Argued: April 26, 1915. --- Decided: May 10, 1915
This is a suit by the defendant in error to recover reasonable compensation for services rendered in handling grain through its elevators. The plaintiff proved to the satisfaction of the referee to whom the parties agreed to submit the case that 35 cents a ton, the rate demanded, was a reasonable rate. To meet this the defendant offered to prove that Harvey C. Miller owned 93.6 per cent of the plaintiff's stock; that he also was a member of the firm of L. F. Miller & Sons, for which 90 per cent of the plaintiff's business now in question was done; that the grain handled came from other states over the defendant's lines; that competitors of L. F. Miller & Sons received grain from the same point at the same rate, but did not have any elevator, perform any elevator service, or receive compensation for such service; that the plaintiff's books showed that the plaintiff and Harvey C. Miller had received from the payments already made by the defendant and consignees the actual cost of the services rendered, with a reasonable profit, the defendant contending that further payment would be contrary to the act to regulate commerce; and finally an opinion and order of the Interstate Commerce Commission of later date than the service rendered and the bringing of this suit. This evidence was rejected and the supreme court of Pennsylvania sustained the referee, rightly observing that the one question before him was what the plaintiff's services were reasonably worth. 246 Pa. 336, 92 Atl. 340.
There was no complaint that the rate was unreasonable, but only a wrong conception of the grounds upon which an advantage might be pronounced undue. There was no offer to prove that L. F. Miller & Company were using the plaintiff as a tool for the purpose of obtaining a rebate. The offer did not go far enough to bring in the act of Congress, and was not made in an effort to prove that an unreasonable rate was charged.
Writ of error dismissed.
