# The Comrade (Coates)

As published in The Washington Herald (Washington, DC), 14 June 1918 p. 4:
The Comrade.
(Among the soldiers of France there is a widespread and touching belief that at Nancy, Soissons, Ypres and in the Argonne a Form in White has passed unharmed through shot and shell, comforting the wounded and the dying.)
Who is this in raiment white Walks across the field, Midst the terrors of the fight Bears nor sword nor shield, Stays the dying to defend, Where can come no other friend.
Who is this of whom they tell, Beautiful and grave, As from Heaven, to this Hell Come the hurt to save?— Bearing them with tenderness, Where can follow no distress?
Who is this that lifts them up As they earthward sink, Bids them, thirsting, from his cup Euthanasia drink, Opens to their closing eyes Healing visions of the skies? * * *
Is it the supreme Desire, Answering their need?— Is it Faith that doth aspire, Lifting them, indeed, Up, beyond all human strife, To its own immortal life?
Is it Hope, the deathless one, To their broken hearts Whispering of joys begun, E'en as life departs; Hope, the gift of memories Garnered at the mother's knees?
Is it, Friend and Healer, Thou— Vision pure and pale— Whom men, sorrowing, look on now, As they saw the Grail?— Is it Thou their yearnings greet, Unimaginably sweet?
On the blood-stained fields of France What the dying view Who can tell? All, all, perchance! But this much is true: There wherever pain has trod Comes the pitying love of God!

​Neales, Hon. John Bentham, M.L.C., emigrated to South Australia in June 1838, and successfully established himself as an auctioneer in Adelaide. In 1851 he was returned to the partially elective Legislative Council for North Adelaide, and took a prominent part in opposition to the scheme for the State endowment of the religious bodies. Having been re-elected he sat in the Council until responsible government was conceded, when he was returned to the first Legislative Assembly, in 1857, as one of the members for Adelaide. He was member for The Burra from 1865 to 1868, and in 1871 was elected to the new Legislative Council. He was Minister of Lands in the Hanson Government from June to July 1859, and in that of Mr. Hart from Nov. 1865 to March 1866. He died at Glenelg on July 31st, 1873, at the age of sixty-seven.
# The Dictionary of Australasian Biography/Neild, James Edward

Layout 2
​Neild, James Edward, L.S.A.(Lond.), M.D., Ch.M. (Melb.), the well-known dramatic critic, was born at Doncaster, in Yorkshire, in 1824, and is descended from an Irish family who emigrated into England in 1642. He received his early education in Leeds, and in 1843 he went to Sheffield to his uncle, a surgeon in extensive practice there, to whom he was apprenticed for five years. Subsequently he completed his medical studies at University College, London. He passed his examination in 1848, and for two years was in practice at Oulton, near Leeds. He was then for three years house surgeon of the Rochdale General Dispensary. In 1853 he went to Victoria on a visit, but ultimately decided to stay in Melbourne, where he abandoned his profession and started business as a chemist and druggist. In 1855, having always had a desire for newspaper work, he became a reporter on the Melbourne Age, then only just started. After ceasing regular connection with the Age, he contributed a good many occasional theatrical notices to that paper. In 1856 the late Mr. T. L. Bright started "My Notebook," and engaged Dr. Neild to write the theatrical notices. This having dropped, the proprietors of the Argus issued the Examiner in 1857, with Mr. T. L. Bright as its first editor, and for upwards of two years Dr. Neild wrote the theatrical criticisms under the signature of "Christopher Sly." Ultimately the Examiner, the Yeoman, and the Weekly Argus were blended into one, under the title of the Australasian, in which Dr. Neild continued to do the theatrical criticism under the signature of "Jaques," and in more recent times under the nom de plume of "Tahite." His connection with the Argus, which belongs to the same proprietary as the Australasian, commenced in 1858, and he also contributed to Melbourne Punch and other papers. In 1864 he retired from the business as a chemist which he had carried on meanwhile, and resumed the practice of his profession. Almost coincidently he accepted the editorship of the Australian Medical Journal, and began to take an active part as a member of the Medical Society of Victoria, of which in 1868 he was elected president, and of which he was subsequently ​honorary secretary. In 1864 he took the degree of M.D. in the University of Melbourne, and the following year was appointed lecturer on forensic medicine. Dr. Neild is the author of several novelettes, and has had two comediettas successfully placed upon the stage. He married in 1857 the eldest daughter of Mr. D. R. Long.

​Murray-Prior, Hon. Thomas Lodge, M.L.C., Chairman of Committees of the Legislative Council, Queensland, son of Lieut.-Colonel Thomas Murray-Prior, 11th Hussars, who was at the battle of ​Waterloo, by his second wife, Eliza, daughter of W. A. Skynner, of Moor Hall, Berkshire. He was born on Nov. 13th, 1819, at Wells, Somerset, and was educated under Rev. Wm. Drury at Brussels, Monsieur Giron at Reading, and Dr. Burney at Gosport. He emigrated to Sydney, arriving in May 1839; subsequently he proceeded to Queensland, and ultimately became first Departmental Postmaster-General for the colony, a position which he held for about five years. After the separation of the colony from New South Wales he was Postmaster-General in the second Herbert Ministry from July 21st to August 7th, 1866, and held the same office in the Mackenzie Ministry from Aug. 15th, 1867, to Nov. 25th, 1868. He was reappointed Postmaster-General in the Palmer Ministry on May 3rd, 1870, and held the post till Jan. 8th, 1874. On all of these occasions Mr. Murray-Prior represented the Government in the Legislative Council, to which he was appointed on Feb. 22nd, 1866. Mr. Murray-Prior succeeded the Hon. D. F. Roberts as Chairman of Committees on July 31st, 1889. He was married first, at South Creek, Sydney, N.S.W., on Sept. 3rd, 1846, to Matilda, daughter of Thomas Harpur, of Cecil Hills, Liverpool, in that colony (who died on Nov. 25th, 1868); and, secondly, at Ryde, Parramatta River, N.S.W., on Dec. 18th, 1872, to Nora Clarina, daughter of Robert Johnstone Barton, of Boree, Nevang, N.S.W.

# The Dictionary of Australasian Biography/Nevill, Right Rev. Samuel Tarratt

Layout 2
​Nevill, Right Rev. Samuel Tarratt, D.D., Bishop of Dunedin, New Zealand, son of Jonathan and Mary Nevill, was born at Nottingham in 1837. He was educated at St. Aidan's and at Magdalen College, Cambridge, where he graduated B.A. (second class Natural Science Tripos) in 1865, and M.A. in 1868, being created D.D. in 1871. He was ordained deacon in 1860 and priest in 1861. From 1860 to 1862 he was curate of Scarisbrick, Lancashire, and rector of Shelton, Staffordshire, from the latter year till 1871, when he accepted the bishopric of Dunedin. He was consecrated in the pro-cathedral, Dunedin, by the Primate (Harper) of Dunedin and Bishops Suter of Nelson, Hadfield of Wellington, and Williams of Waiapu. Dr. Nevill has twice since revisited England to attend the Lambeth Conferences. He was married at Heavitree, Devon, in 1863, to Miss M. S. C. Penny. When rector of Shelton the Bishop held a certificate of the Science and Art Department of South Kensington qualifying him to instruct candidates for examination under the Department, and was thus instrumental in laying the foundation of the career of some who have attained positions of eminence. The branch of the Nevill family to which the Bishop belongs had been for many generations settled in Suffolk, but the Bishop's great-grandfather having assisted Count Zinzendorf in the establishment of the Moravians in London and Ockbrook, Derbyshire, married Elizabeth Thring, of Badminton, whose son, J. B. Nevill, married Millicent de Terrot, anglicised Tarratt, of a Huguenot family mentioned by Smiles ("Huguenots in England"), of which family the late Bishop of Edinburgh, Dr. Terrot, was a member.

May 1862; Governor of Newfoundland, April 1864; Governor of British Columbia, June 1869; Lieut-Governor of Natal, May 1872; and Governor of South Australia in June 1873. This post he held in remarkably quiet times till Jan. 1877, when he left the colony to assume the Governorship of Jamaica, where he remained till 1883. In that year he was transferred to Queensland, where he assumed office in November. In 1888 he became involved in a dispute with the Premier, Sir Thomas McIlwraith, in regard to the exercise of the prerogative of pardon, and in the result his views were not sustained by the Colonial Office. Sir Anthony, who died at Brisbane whilst still Governor, on Oct. 9th, 1888, married first, in 1854, Christiana Elizabeth, daughter of Hon.

# The Fate of Adelaide, a Swiss Romantic Tale; and Other Poems/Castle Building

CASTLE BUILDING.
You may smile at the fanciful structures I rear,
 And say, that my castles are built but on sand; Like bubbles, that on the blue waters appear,
 That sparkle, invite, and then sink from the hand.
When my spirit is tracing some bright and new sphere,  As light as the moment, when joy gave it birth;
Would you stop her gay pinion, and chain her down here
 To reality's region—a plodder on earth?
Tho' time, as its shadows and sorrows pass by,
 Darkens many a tint, fancy brighten'd in vain; Their shade it will flit, like the clouds o'er the sky,
 And the picture be colour'd as gaily again.
Unlike the Pactolus, which glisten'd of old,
 But whose waves have exhausted their own brilliant store; The fountain of hope is still sparkling with gold,
 And often applied to, but proffers the more.
# The Fate of Adelaide, a Swiss Romantic Tale; and Other Poems/Corinna

CORINNA.
She stood alone; but on her every eye
Dwelt in mute ravishment; her long black hair
Flew loose upon the gale, but half confin'd
By the light veil and wreathes of braided rose,
Shading her bosom's matchless ivory,
And fell upon the lyre, like hyacinths
Twin'd fancifully round; a pensive shade
Was on the brightness of her deep blue eyes,
Where the sweet tenderness of woman's glance
Softened the minstrel's fire that sparkled there.— The song arose; it was just such a strain
The soft Erato wakes, when she would sing
Of loveliness, and love by sorrow shaded;
Her voice (the Syren's is not sweeter, when
She breathes her music to calm moonlight seas,)
Was fraught with tender feelings, and called forth
An answering harmony within the heart;
And even when it ceas'd, the list'ner's ear,
Thrill'd with its wild and witching melody.
She stood, like some fair creature of the skies,
In mild unconscious beauty, and her eyes
Sunk to their timid station on the ground:
Her cheek was delicately pale; but when
They placed the laurel crown upon her brow,
Her face was mantled by a burning blush,
Bright, beautiful, like summer's glowing eve,
Such as young Psyche wore, when Love first taught
His own sweet language.
# The Fate of Adelaide, a Swiss Romantic Tale; and Other Poems/Answer to

ANSWER TO ———
Twine not the cypress round my harp—
It wears too dull a shade for me;  Light as the flowers  Of April bowers,
The wreath that encircles my harp must be.
If you will twine a wreath for me,
Twine it of blooms that vanish soon;
 Let each fair hue  Be wet with dew,
But dew that will pass in the smile of noon.
Light is the spirit of my harp—
Twas love and hope first wak'd its strain;
 Awhile sorrow's wings
 May o'ershadow the strings—
They soon will answer to mirth again.
Oh! were it mine to choose the notes,
That should unto my harp belong,
 They should be gay,  As the sky lark's lay,
With one sweet breath of the nightingale's song.
# The Fate of Adelaide, a Swiss Romantic Tale; and Other Poems/Curtius

CURTIUS.
There is a multitude, in number like The waves of the wide ocean; and as still As are those waters, when the summer breeze Sleeps on the moveless billow; there is awe On every countenance; and each does stand
In gasping breathlessness, as terror chain'd The life pulse down; or, as they deem'd, a sound Might call down new destruction on their heads— The sun look'd smiling from his clear blue throne, And nature seem'd to gladden in the ray; When suddenly a cloud came over heaven,
A black and terrible shadow, as the gloom
Of the destroying angel's form; the wind
Swept past with hollow murmur; and the birds
Ceasing their song of joyfulness, with mute,
And quick, and tremulous flight, for shelter sought!
Fear was on every living thing: the earth
Trembled as she presag'd some coming ill;
The voice of thunder spake; and in the midst
Of that proud city, in the midst of Rome,
The ground was riven in twain; and in the spot,
Where human steps had but so lately been,
There yawn'd a fearful gulf, dark as the powers
Of hell were gather'd there—no eye might scan
That fathomless abyss; the augur's voice
Hath told the will of heaven—nought may close
That gulf of terror, till it is the grave
Of all Rome holds most precious. Then came forth
A youthful warrior—"What is dear to Rome,
But patriot valour? Ye infernal Gods,
Who now look wrathful from your deep abodes,
Behold your ready sacrifice!" He comes,
Arm'd as for battle, save no plumed helm
His black hair presses: he is on the steed
Which has so often borne him to the field.—
Young Curtius came, but with a brow as firm,
And cheek unchang'd, as he was wont to wear,
When he essay'd the glorious strife of men;
Pride glanced upon his eye—but pride that seem'd
As a remembrance of the higher state
In which aspiring spirits move; whose thoughts
Of avarice, indolence, and selfish care,
The chains of meaner ones, have given way
Before the mighty fire of the high soul—
Whose hope is immortality, whose steps
Are steps of flame, on which the many gaze,
But dare not follow. He on moment paus'd, And cast a farewell look on all around. How beautiful must be the sky above,
And fair the earth beneath, to him who gives
A lingering look, and knows it is his last!—
Then onward urg'd his courser.—— Hark! a voice, A wild shriek rings upon the air: he turn'd,
And his glance fell on her, his own dear love.
She rush'd upon his bosom silently,
As if her life were in that last embrace.
All was so still around, that every sob,
And the heart's throb of agony, were heard.
He clasp'd her, without power to soothe her grief,
But press'd her coral lip—did never flower
Yield fresher incense forth!—and kiss'd away
The tears on her pale cheek, then on her gaz'd.—
All his deep feeling, anguish, high resolves,
And love intense, were in that passionate glance.
He clasp'd her wildly, and his dark eye swam
In tenderness; but he has nerv'd his soul—
He has spurr'd on—and the dread gulf is clos'd!

ADDRESSED TO —
The bee, when varying ﬂowers are nigh, On many a sweet will careless dwell; Just sips their dew, and then will ﬂy Again to its own cherish'd cell. Thus, tho' my heart by fancy led, A wanderer for awhile may be; Yet, soon returning whence it ﬂed, Comes but more fondly back to thee.

# The Fate of Adelaide, a Swiss Romantic Tale; and Other Poems/Answer

ANSWER.
The wreath you gave me, love, is dead,
The bloom is from the roses fled;
A blight is o'er the myrtle shed,
 The violets are withering.
Ah! who that gaz'd upon them now,
Saw each dry leaf, each faded glow,
 Could deem them worth the gathering!
The vows you breathed me, love, were dear;
They fell like music on my ear,   But left behind a sigh, a tear—
 For they were but deceiving.
And who, that thought upon them now,
Would deem each heartless, broken vow,
 Had e'er been worth believing?
Fond dreams, like summer flowers, fall,
And wither'd leaves and thorns are all
They leave their memory to recall,  So quickly have they perished;
And love that could so soon depart,
That open'd but to chill the heart,  Will not be long time cherished.
# The Fate of Adelaide, a Swiss Romantic Tale; and Other Poems/Choice

LOVE'S CHOICE.
[From the same.]
Too long the daring power of love Had braved the angry gods above: His doom is seal'd—the doom of heaven— Love may not hope to be forgiven. They took away his bow of gold, And from his eyes the veil unroll'd; His rose-wreathed quiver is unbound; His sparkling darts bestrew the ground. But Venus wept—can such sweet rain From beauty's eyes e'er fall in vain? Jove gaz'd on Cytherea's tear, And own'd his sentence too severe. "Well, let the boy one treasure keep; The one he may most dearly prize, That let him chuse." Love ceas'd to weep, And caught the veil that blinds his eyes.
