# The Ramayana/Book III/Canto X: Ráma's Reply

The words that Sítá uttered, spurred By truest love, the hero heard: Then he who ne'er from virtue strayed To Janak's child his answer made: 'In thy wise speech, sweet love, I find True impress of thy gentle mind, Well skilled the warrior's path to trace, Thou pride of Janak's ancient race. What fitting answer shall I frame To thy good words, my honoured dame? Thou sayst the warrior bears the bow That misery's tears may cease to flow; And those pure saints who love the shade Of Dandak wood are sore dismayed. They sought me of their own accord, With suppliant prayers my aid implored: They, fed on roots and fruit, who spend Their lives where bosky wilds extend, My timid love, enjoy no rest By these malignant fiends distressed. These make the flesh of man their meat: The helpless saints they kill and eat. The hermits sought my side, the chief Of Brahman race declared their grief. I heard, and from my lips there fell The words which thou rememberest well: I listened as the hermits cried, And to their prayers I thus replied:  'Your favour, gracious lords, I claim, O'erwhelmed with this enormous shame That Bráhmans, great and pure as you, Who should be sought, to me should sue.' And then before the saintly crowd, 'What can I do?' I cried aloud. Then from the trembling hermits broke One long sad cry, and thus they spoke: 'Fiends of the wood, who wear at will Each varied shape, afflict us still. To thee in our distress we fly: O help us, Ráma, or we die. When sacred rites of fire are due, When changing moons are full or new, These fiends who bleeding flesh devour Assail us with resistless power. They with their cruel might torment The hermits on their vows intent: We look around for help and see Our surest refuge, Prince, in thee. We, armed with powers of penance, might Destroy the rovers of the night: But loth were we to bring to naught The merit years of toil have bought. Our penance rites are grown too hard, By many a check and trouble barred, But though our saints for food are slain The withering curse we yet restrain. Thus many a weary day distressed By giants who this wood infest, We see at length deliverance, thou With Lakshman art our guardian now.'  As thus the troubled hermits prayed, I promised, dame, my ready aid, And now--for truth I hold most dear-- Still to my word must I adhere. My love, I might endure to be Deprived of Lakshman, life, and thee, But ne'er deny my promise, ne'er To Bráhmans break the oath I sware. I must, enforced by high constraint, Protect them all. Each suffering saint In me, unasked, his help had found; Still more in one by promise bound. I know thy words, mine own dear dame, From thy sweet heart's affection came: I thank thee for thy gentle speech, For those we love are those we teach. 'Tis like thyself, O fair of face, 'Tis worthy of thy noble race: Dearer than life, thy feet are set In righteous paths they ne'er forget.'  Thus to the Maithil monarch's child, His own dear wife, in accents mild  The high-souled hero said: Then to the holy groves which lay Beyond them fair to see, their way  The bow-armed chieftain led.

# The North Star/Chapter 17

XVII “THE NORTH STAR HATH RISEN”
All slept aboard the “Alruna” that soft spring night, except the helmsman, a few oarsmen, and the king. Olaf paced the loftingen or elevated stern deck, that was to the viking ships what the “poop royal” of the continental war ships was, two hundred years later. Here the king could look down on the silent figures of the crew. The night was perfect. The sunset had thrown its crimson glory far into the darkness. The sky was aflame, the fires of heaven relighted in the reflecting waters. It was a world of warmest light, sea and sky, and in its glow stood the great king, watching the far shadowy shore of his own land. His kingdom! the brightness of his crown! the radiance of his triumph! seemed pouring a prophetic flood of dazzling beauty around him when the whole sky blushed and glowed under the Northern Light. No timid, tiny stars came out. Then one great, silver star, far up the northern heavens, broke into light and beauty, undaunted by the fervor of the crimson clouds. “The North Star!” cried Olaf aloud.
“Didst thou speak, my King?” asked the drowsy helmsman.
​Olaf silently pointed to the star, single and silvery in the red sky. “It is the North Star,” cried the sailor. “It is rising.”
“The North Star hath risen!” said Olaf.
Thorgills started in his sleep, repeating the king’s words. “The North Star hath risen! The North Star hath risen!”
Fiachtna on the deck below looked up and saw the silvery white star in a world of crimson cloud. He caught Maidoch’s arm, as she slept upon the cushions, and the girl awoke. She looked into her father’s face, and then glanced up to where he pointed. On the upper deck stood the tall figure of the king, with his shining coat of mail, his winged helmet and the glittering cross upon his breast. Just above his head rested the star. It was so fair a vision the girl fell back asleep and the old man slumbered in peace, thinking of the protecting power of this great Christian monarch.
Thorgills dreamed of all treachery conquered and the helmsman repeated over and over again: “The North Star is rising! The North Star is rising!”
Olaf looked again at the pearl-white star, and noted with quickened pulse that the outline of the shore became clearer. Then he too fell into slumber, murmuring in his happy dreams:
“My Norraway! My Norraway! Thy North Star hath risen!”

# The Records of the Federal Convention of 1787/Volume 3/Appendix A/CCCXIV

​ⅭⅭⅭⅩⅣ. Gouverneur Morris to Timothy Pickering.
Morrisania, December 22d, 1814.
While I sat in the Convention, my mind was too much occupied by the interests of our country to keep notes of what we had done. Some gentlemen, I was told, passed their evenings in transcribing speeches from shorthand minutes of the day. They can speak positively on matters, of which I have little recollection. My faculties were on the stretch to further our business, remove impediments, obviate objections, and conciliate jarring opinions. All which I can now do is to ask myself what I should do were questions stated anew; for, in all probability, what I should now do would be what I then did, my sentiments and opinions having undergone no essential change in forty years.
Propositions to countenance the issue of paper money, and the consequent violation of contracts, must have met with all the ​opposition I could make. But, my dear Sir, what can a history of the Constitution avail towards interpreting its provisions. This must be done by comparing the plain import of the words, with the general tenor and object of the instrument. That instrument was written by the fingers, which write this letter. Having rejected redundant and equivocal terms, I believed it to be as clear as our language would permit; excepting, nevertheless, a part of what relates to the judiciary. On that subject, conflicting opinions had been maintained with so much professional astuteness, that it became necessary to select phrases, which expressing my own notions would not alarm others, nor shock their selflove, and to the best of my recollection, this was the only part which passed without cavil.

​ⅭⅭⅭⅩⅨ. Autobiography of William Few.
At the time appointed for the meeting of the Convention at Philadelphia, a full representation of all the States convened in the State House, and chose G. Washington for their President, and commenced their business, but they had to encounter incalculable difficulties. The modification of the State Rights, the different interests and diversity of opinions seemed for some time to present obstacles that could not be surmounted. After about three weeks deliberation and debating, the Convention had serious thoughts of adjourning without doing anything. All human efforts seemed to fail. Doctor Franklin proposed to appoint a chaplain and implore Divine assistance, but his motion did not prevail. It was an awful and critical moment. If the Convention had then adjourned, the dissolution of the union of the States seemed inevitable. This consideration no doubt had its weight in reconciling clashing opinions and interests. It was believed to be of the utmost importance to concede to different opinions so far as to endeavor to meet opposition on middle ground, and to form a Constitution that might preserve the union of the States. On that principle of accommodations the business progressed, and after about three months’ arduous labor, a plan of Constitution was formed on principles which did not altogether please anybody, but it was agreed to be the most expedient that could be devised and agreed to.

​ⅭⅭⅭⅩⅡ. John W. Eppes to James Madison.
Cumberland Near Ca-Ira Nov. 1. 1810
My absence from Chesterfield prevented my receiving your letter until a few days since—
When the papers relating to the proceedings of the convention were put into my hands for the purpose of being copied Mr. Jefferson was very particular in his charge—I understood from him perfectly that it was a trust entirely confidential—The particular and confidential manner in which he entrusted them to me prevented my making the smallest extract from any part of them—and so careful was I of preserving sacred a document the importance of which to posterity I could not but feel, that I never suffered the papers to mix either with my own or any others entrusted to my care—They were kept in a Trunk in which whenever I ceased writing they were replaced and each original as copied was returned with the copy to Mr. Jefferson—
I remember among the papers one headed “plan of a constitution by Colo: Hamilton”—it was on smaller paper than your copy and fastened with a pin to one of the leaves of the original—Whether it was in your hand writing or Colo: Hamiltons I do not remember—I remember its features & that after copying it I fastened it again with the same pin—I still think that by turning carefully over the original you will find the paper fastened with a pin to one of the sheets—
I have but few papers remaining of those I possessed in Philadelphia—As you requested it I have carefully gone through them—I was certain however prior to the search that it was utterly impossible from the precautions I took in consequence of Mr Jeffersons charge that any paper belonging to your manuscript could be mixed with mine—For years after the copy was taken so far did I consider the whole transaction on my part confidential that I did not even consider myself at liberty to mention that a copy of the ​debates of the convention existed—It was not until within a few years since when I found the fact known to others through yourself and Mr. Jefferson that I thought it unnecessary to impose on myself the same rigid silence—I should as a member of the community deeply deplore the loss of the paper as it contains proof clear as holy writ that the idol of the Federal party was not a Monarchist in Theory merely, but the open zealous and unreserved advocate for the adoption of the monarchical system in this Country—Your evidence however of the fact will be sufficient with posterity; and that you will find among the originals a paper headed in the way I mention containing his plan of Government as suggested to you I have no doubt—

​ⅭⅭⅭⅩⅠ. James Madison to Thomas Jefferson.
Montpelier July 17. 1810.
Among the papers relating to the Convention of 1787. communicated to you, that copies in your hands might double the security agst. destructive casualties, was a delineation of Hamilton’s plan ​of a Constitution in his own writing. On looking for it among the Debates &c, which were returned to me, this particular paper does not appear. I conclude therefore, that it had not then been copied, or was at the time in some separate situation. I am very sorry to trouble you on such a subject, but being under an engagement to furnish a Copy of that project, I must ask the favor of you to see whether it be not among your papers; & if so, to forward it by the mail.

​ⅭⅭⅭⅧ. James Madison to Noah Webster.
Washington, Oct. 12, 1804.
When the convention as recommended at Annapolis took place at Philadelphia, the deputies from Virginia supposed, that as that state had been first in the successive steps leading to a revision of the federal system, some introductory propositions might be expected from them. They accordingly entered into consultation on the subject, immediately on their arrival in Philadelphia, and having agreed among themselves on the outline of a plan, it was laid before the convention by Mr. Randolph, at that time governor of the state, as well as member of the convention. This project was the basis of its deliberations; and after passing through a variety of changes in its important as well as its lesser features, was developed and amended into the form finally agreed to.

​ⅭⅭⅬⅠ. Abraham Baldwin in the House of Representatives.
February 12, 1790.
Mr. Baldwin was sorry the subject had ever been brought before Congress, because it was of a delicate nature as it respected some of the States. Gentlemen who had been present at the formation of this Constitution could not avoid the recollection of the pain and difficulty which the subject caused in that body. The members from the Southern States were so tender upon this point, that they had well nigh broken up without coming to any determination; however, from the extreme desire of preserving the Union, and obtaining an efficient Government, they were induced mutually to concede, and the Constitution jealously guarded what they agreed to. If gentlemen look over the footsteps of that body, they will find the greatest degree of caution used to imprint them, so as not to be easily eradicated; but the moment we go to jostle on that ground, I fear we shall feel it tremble under our feet. Congress have no power to interfere with the importation of slaves beyond what is given in the ninth section of the 1st article of the Constitution; everything else is interdicted to them in the strongest terms. If we examine the constitution, we shall find the expressions relative to this subject cautiously expressed, and more punctiliously guarded than any other part, “The migration or importation of such persons shall not be prohibited by Congress.” But least this should not have secured the object sufficiently, it is declared, in the same section, “That no capitation or direct tax shall be laid, unless in proportion to the census;” this was intended to prevent Congress from laying any special tax upon negro slaves, as they might, in this way, so burthen the possessors of them as to induce a general emancipation. If we go on to the fifth article, we shall find the first and fifth clauses of the ninth section of the first article restrained from being altered before the year 1808.

​ⅭⅭⅠⅠ. George Mason to Thomas Jefferson.
Virginia, Gunston-Hall May 26th. 1788.
I make no Doubt that You have long ago received Copys of the new Constitution of Government, framed last Summer, by the Delegates of the several States, in general Convention, at Philadelphia. Upon the most mature consideration I was capable of, and from Motives of sincere Patriotism, I was under the Necessity of refusing my Signature, as one of the Virginia Delegates; and drew ​up some general Objections; which I intended to offer, by way of Protest; but was discouraged from doing so, by the precipitate, & intemperate, not to say indecent Manner, in which the Business was conducted, during the last week of the Convention, after the Patrons of this new Plan found they had a decided Majority in their Favour; which was obtained by a Compromise between the Eastern & the two Southern States, to permit the latter to continue the Importation of Slaves for twenty odd Years; a more favourite Object with them, than the Liberty and Happiness of the People.

​ⅭⅭⅬⅢ. Tench Coxe to James Madison.
Philada. March 31, 1790—
I will mention to you confidentially that great pains have been heretofore taken to restrain Applications to the general Government on the subject of the slave trade. A very strong paper was drawn & put into my hands to procure the signature of Dr. Franklin to be presented to the federal convention—I enclosed to the Dr. with my opinion that it would be a very improper season & place to hazard the Application considering it as an over zealous act of honest men.

​ⅭⅭⅭⅩⅩⅩⅧ. Charles Pinckney in the House of Representatives.
February 13, 1821.
Mr. Speaker, there are many reasons which make it incumbent on me not to suffer this question, which I consider the final one on the acceptance or rejection of the constitution of Missouri, and her admission into the Union, to pass without presenting my views on the subject to the House. These reasons are, the importance of the question itself, the great interest the State I represent, in part, has in it, and, not among the least, the frequent calls made upon me in this House, and references in the other, as to the true meaning of the second section of the fourth article of the Constitution of the United States, which it appears, from the Journal of the General Convention that formed the Constitution, I first proposed in that body. …
​I say it is not, in my judgment, unconstitutional, for the following reasons, in which I mean briefly to answer to the call that has been made upon me: It appears by the Journal of the Convention that formed the Constitution of the United States, that I was the only member of that body that ever submitted the plan of a constitution completely drawn in articles and sections; and this having been done at a very early state of their proceedings, the article on which now so much stress is laid, and on the meaning of which the whole of this question is made to turn, and which is in these words: “the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities in every State,” having been made by me, it is supposed I must know, or perfectly recollect, what I meant by it. In answer, I say, that, at the time I drew that constitution, I perfectly knew that there did not then exist such a thing in the Union as a black or colored citizen, nor could I then have conceived it possible such a thing could have ever existed in it; nor, notwithstanding all that has been said on the subject, do I now believe one does exist in it.
