# A Handful of Pleasant Delights/A Sonet of two faithfull Louers, exhorting one another to be constant

A Sonet of two faithfull Louers, exhorting one another to be constant.
To the tune of Kypascie.
He famous Prince of Macedon,
whose wars increst his worthy name
Triumphed not so, when he had won
By conquest great, immortall fame,
As I reioice, reioice,
For thee, my choice, with heart and voice,
Since thou art mine,
Whom, long to loue, the Gods assigne.
¶The secret flames of this my loue,
The stars had wrought ere I was borne,
Whose sugred force my hart doth moue,
And eke my will so sure hath sworne.
that Fortunes lore, no more,
though I therefore, did life abhor[r]e:
Shall neuer make,
Forgetful dewes my heat to slake.
​¶If that I false my faith to thee,
Or seeke to chaunge for any newe:
If thoughts appeare so ill in me,
If thou thy life shall iustly rew.
Such kinde of woe, of woe:
As friende or foe, might to me showe:
Betide me than,
Or wurse, if it may hap to man.
¶Then let vs ioy in this our loue:
In spite of Fortunes wrath, my deere:
Twoo willes in one, as dooth behooue,
One loue in both, let still appeare:
And I will be, will be,
Piramus to thee, my owne Thisbie,
So thou againe,
My constant louer shalt remaine.
# A Handful of Pleasant Delights/A faithfull vow of two constant Louers

A faithfull vow of two constant Louers
To the new Rogero.
Hall distance part our loue, or daily choice of chaunge? Or sprites below, or Gods aboue, haue power to make vs straunge:
¶No nothing here on earth, that kinde hath made or wrought, Shall force me to forget, goodwill so dearely bought,
¶And for any part I vow, to serue for terme of life: Which promise may compare with her, which was Vlisses wife.
¶Which vow if I doo breake, let vengeance on me fall, Eche plague that on the earth may raigne, I aske not one, but all.
¶Though time may breede suspect, to fill your hart with toyes; And absence may a mischefe breede, to let your wished ioyes:
​¶Yet thinke I haue a troth, and honesty to keepe: And weigh the time your loue hath dwelt, within my hart so deep.
¶And peise the words I spake, and marke my countenance then: And let not slip no ernest sigh, if thou remember can.
¶At least forget no teares, that trickled downe my face: And marke howe oft I wroong your hand, and blushed all the space.
¶Remember how I sware, and strook therewith my brest: In witnesse when thou partst me fro, my heart with thee should rest.
¶Thinke on the eger lookes, full loth to leaue thy sight, That made the signes when that she list, to like no other wight.
¶If this be out of thought, yet call to minde againe, The busie sute, the much adoe, the labour and the paine,
¶That at the first I had, ere thy good will I gate; And think how for thy loue alone, I purchase partly hate.
¶But all is one with me, my heart so setled is: No friend, nor foe, nor want of wealth, shall neuer hurt in this.
​¶Be constant now therefore, and faithfull to the end? Be carefull how we both may do, to be ech others friend.
¶With free and cleane consent, two hearts in one I knit: Which for my part, I vow to keep, and promise not to flit,
¶Now let this vow be kept, exchange thy heart for mine: So shal two harts be in one breast, and both of them be thine.
# A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems/The Valley Wind

THE VALLEY WIND
By Lu Yün [fourth century A. D.]
Living in retirement beyond the World, Silently enjoying isolation, I pull the rope of my door tighter And stuff my window with roots and ferns. My spirit is tuned to the Spring-season:
At the fall of the year there is autumn in my heart.
Thus imitating cosmic changes
My cottage becomes a Universe.
# A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems/The Waters of Lung-t'ou

THE WATERS OF LUNG-T'OU
[THE NORTH-WEST FRONTIER]
By Hsü Ling [A. D. 507–583]
The road that I came by mounts eight thousand feet: The river that I crossed hangs a hundred fathoms.
The brambles so thick that in summer one cannot pass! The snow so high that in winter one cannot climb! With branches that interlace Lung Valley is dark:
Against cliffs that tower one's voice beats and echoes. I turn my head, and it seems only a dream
That I ever lived in the streets of Hsien-yang.
# A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems/The Silver Spoon

THE SILVER SPOON
While on the road to his new province, Hang-chow, in 822, he sends a silver spoon to his niece A-kuei, whom he had been obliged to leave behind with her nurse, old Mrs. Ts'ao.
To distant service my heart is well accustomed;
When I left home, it wasn't that which was difficult
But because I had to leave Miss Kuei at home —
For this it was that tears filled my eyes. Little girls ought to be daintily fed:
Mrs. Ts'ao, please see to this! That's why I've packed and sent a silver spoon;
You will think of me and eat up your food nicely!
# A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems/The Two Red Towers

[A Satire against Clericalism]
The Two Red Towers North and south rise facing each other. I beg to ask, to whom do they belong?
To the two Princes of the period Chēng Yüan. The two Princes blew on their flutes and drew down fairies from the sky,
Who carried them off through the Five Clouds, soaring away to Heaven. Their halls and houses, that they could take with them. Were turned into Temples planted in the Dust of the World. In the tiring-rooms and dancers' towers all is silent and still;
Only the willows like dancers' arms, and the pond like a mirror. When the flowers are falling at yellow twilight, when things are sad and hushed. One does not hear songs and flutes, but only chimes and bells. The Imperial Patent on the Temple doors is written in letters of gold;
For nuns' quarters and monks' cells ample space is allowed. For green moss and bright moonlight — plenty of room provided;
In a hovel opposite is a sick man who has hardly room to lie down. I remember once when at P'ing-yang they were building a great man's house
How it swallowed up the housing space of thousands of ordinary men. The Immortals are leaving us, two by two, and their houses are turned into Temples;
I begin to fear that the whole world will become a vast convent.

# A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems/To a Portrait Painter who desired him to sit

TO A PORTRAIT PAINTER WHO DESIRED HIM TO SIT
You, so bravely splashing reds and blues! Just when I am getting wrinkled and old. Why should you waste the moments of inspiration
Tracing the withered limbs of a sick man? Tall, tall is the Palace of Ch'i-lin; But my deeds have not been frescoed on its walls. Minutely limned on a foot of painting silk —
What can I do with a portrait such as that?
# A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems/Woman

WOMAN
By Fu Hsüan
How sad it is to be a woman!
Nothing on earth is held so cheap.
Boys stand leaning at the door
Like Gods fallen out of Heaven.
Their hearts brave the Four Oceans,
The wind and dust of a thousand miles.
No one is glad when a girl is born:
By her the family sets no store.
When she grows up, she hides in her room
Afraid to look a man in the face.
No one cries when she leaves her home —
Sudden as clouds when the rain stops.
She bows her head and composes her face,
Her teeth are pressed on her red lips:
She bows and kneels countless times.
She must humble herself even to the servants.
His love is distant as the stars in Heaven,
Yet the sunflower bends toward the sun.
Their hearts more sundered than water and fire — A hundred evils are heaped upon her.
Her face will follow the years' changes:
Her lord will find new pleasures.
They that were once like substance and shadow
Are now as far as Hu from Ch'in. Yet Hu and Ch'in shall sooner meet
Than they whose parting is like Ts'an and Ch'ēn.

# A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems/To his Wife

TO HIS WIFE
By General Su Wu [circa 100 B. C.]
Since our hair was plaited and we became man and wife
The love between us was never broken by doubt.
So let us be merry this night together,
Feasting and playing while the good time lasts.
I suddenly remember the distance that I must travel;
I spring from bed and look out to see the time.
The stars and planets are all grown dim in the sky;
Long, long is the road; I cannot stay.
I am going on service, away to the battle-ground,
And I do not know when I shall come back.
I hold your hand with only a deep sigh;
Afterwards, tears — in the days when we are parted.
With all your might enjoy the spring flowers, But do not forget the time of our love and pride.
Know that if I live, I will come back again, And if I die, we will go on thinking of each other.
# A Hundred and Seventy Chinese Poems/Winter Night

WINTER NIGHT
My bed is so empty that I keep on waking up: As the cold increases, the night-wind begins to blow. It rustles the curtains, making a noise like the sea: Oh that those were waves which could carry me back to you!

From volume 2 of the work.
​ODÉON. A theatre near the Luxembourg in Paris, known at various times under different names. The original building, by Peyre and de Wailly, containing 1500 seats, was begun in 1773 on the site of the Hôtel de Condé, at right angles to its present position, to which it was transferred in 1779 by command of Louis XVI. It was opened in 1782 as the 'Théâtre Français,' became in 1790 the 'Théâtre de la Nation,' was burnt down March 18, 1799, and rebuilt in 1807 by Chalgrin as the 'Odéon, Théâtre de l'Impératrice,' again partially burnt March 20, 1818, but immediately restored. As an offshoot of the 'Comédie Française' ('le second Théâtre Français') it receives a subsidy from the state; but its musical relations alone concern us.
From 1808 to 1814 comedy was given at the Odéon four days in the week, and on the other three Italian opera; the chief works of Paisiello, Mozart, Salieri, Zingarelli, and Cimarosa, being produced together with those of the second-rate composers popular at the beginning of the century, Simon Mayer, Generali, Nasolini, Pavesi, etc.
In 1816 ballets were tried, but none were produced of any musical importance. From 1824 to 28 the Odéon became almost a branch of the Opéra, and took an important part in popularising the revolution of Rossini and of Weber. In 1824 the 'Barbiere di Siviglia," translated by Castil Blaze, was performed there for the first time in Paris on May 6; and on Dec. 7 'Freischütz' was produced and hissed. Castil Blaze then remodelled it to suit French taste, and as 'Robin des Bois' it reappeared on Dec. 16, and ran for 327 nights! The able conductor, Pierre Crémont (1784—1846), also a good player on the violin and clarinet, contributed much to the success of the operas given there, among which may be specified Mozart's 'Figaro' and 'Don Juan'; Rossini's 'Gazza Ladra,' 'Otello,' 'Tancredi,' and 'Donna del Lago'; Winter's 'Sacrifice interrompu'; Meyerbeer's 'Marguerite d'Anjou'; and Weber's 'Preciosa,' all in French; besides several adaptations, such as 'La Forêt de Senart,' 'Pourceaugnac,' 'Ivanhoe,' and 'Le dernier jour de Missolonghi,' set by Hérold, in which the overture alone was a success.

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Offertorium

From volume 2 of the work.
​OFFERTORIUM (Fr. Ofertoire). A portion of a Psalm, or Verse from some other part of Holy Scripture, sung by the Choir, at High Mass, immediately after the Credo, during the time occupied by the Priest in making ready the Oblations, and offering them upon the Altar.
A proper Offertorium is appointed for every Festival and Feria in the year, except Good Friday and the Saturday in Holy Week; and the Plain Chaunt Melodies adapted to the entire series are contained in the Gradual. As these Melodies are rarely long enough to fill up the interval which must necessarily elapse before the priest is ready to begin the Sursum Corda, they are usually supplemented, either by a Motet—as in the Pontifical Chapel—or by a grand Voluntary on the Organ. Palestrina provided for this contingency by setting the special forms for all the Sundays and most of the principal Festivals in the year in the Motet style, for five Voices, and publishing them in the year 1593 in two books, entitled 'Offertoria totiusanni.' But when the appointed words have already been sung in Plain Chaunt, it is not at all de rigueur that they should be repeated in the Motet which follows, provided this be an appropriate one for the Festival. It is, indeed, in this part of the Mass that the Motet, properly so called, finds its strongest raison d'étre; and a rich store of compositions, well adapted to the end in view, has been bequeathed to us by the Great Masters of the 15th and 16th centuries. [See Motet.]
Among the so-called Motets of the modern school, a few are specially entitled Offertories; but these differ in no respect from the ordinary 'Motet' with Instrumental Accompaniment. Many very popular Offertoires, in the form of Organ Voluntaries, will be found among the works of modern French Composers. Among the best are those of Lefebure Wely, Batiste, and Mons. Widor, the talented organist of S. Sulpice.

Charles Tulloh , born about 1785, is son of the late Lieut. John Tulloh, R.N., and brother of Retired Commander Wm. Izod Tulloh, R.N.
This officer entered the Navy, 17 Nov. 1799, as a Supernumerary, on board the Dictator 64, armée en flûte, Capt. Hardy. He served next, from Jan. 1800 until April, 1802, as A.B. and Midshipman, in the Redoubt 20, Capt. Jas. Keith Shephard, at the Nore; in May of the latter year he joined the Hussar 33, Capt. Philip Wilkinson, stationed in the Bay of Biscay; he was employed, from 1803 until Jan. 1806, in the Terrible 74, Capt. Lord Henry Paulet, on the coasts of France and Spain; and in the following Sept. he was received by Sir John Duckworth on board his flag-ship the Royal George 100. On 14 Feb. 1807, when about to enter the Dardanells, he assisted in a boat under the present Sir Nesbit Josiah Willoughby, and was nearly destroyed, in an attempt to save the crew of the Ajax 74, at the time in flames. He was afterwards, previously to the re-passage of the Dardanells, engaged in a disastrous affair with the Turks on the island of Prota. On 15 Aug. 1808, at which period the Royal George had been for some time employed in the West Indies, he was promoted to the rank of Lieutenant. His succeeding appointments were, chiefly on the Home station – 31 Aug. 1808, to the Cordelia 10, Capt. Thos. Fortescue Kennedy, part of the expedition sent in 1809 to the river Scheldt, where his health, from serving in flat-boats, became much impaired – 10 Jan. 1810 after an interval of half-pay, to the Scipion 74, bearing the flag of Hon. Robt. Stopford – 25 Aug. followmg, to the St. Fiorenzo 36, troop-ship, Capt. Hon. Edmund Sexten Pery Knox – 8 June, 1811, for seven months (he had invalided from the St Fiorenzo in the preceding April), to the Abercromby 74, Capt. Wm. Chas. Fahie – and, 8 April, 1812, to the Britomart 10, Capts. W. B. Hunt and Robt. Bidden (now Carre). While attached to the Scipion he served at the blockade of Rochefort, and aided in cutting out different vessels laden with naval stores from under Rochelle. On the death, at Heligoland, of Capt. Hunt of the Britomart, the command of that vessel devolved upon him, and he was sent with her to North Yarmouth. On his arrival he was ordered to the Baltic to assist in conducting to England the Russian fleet, of 17 sail of the line; a service which he accordingly performed. Having been refitted at Sheerness, the Britomart was joined by Capt. Riddell; with whom Mr. Tulloh proceeded off the Texel. He was subsequently, in a violent storm, blown to sea; his health again suffered; and he lost the sense of hearing. He therefore, about Oct. 1813, invalided; and on 27 Oct. 1845 he accepted his present rank.
