# A Ballad (In the manner of Rudyard Kipling)

First published anonymously in Munsey’s Magazine, vol XVI No. 6 (March 1897 )in “Literary Chat” (p. 755); it is anonymous there but Carolyn Wells (A Parody Anthology, p. 309) gives the author as Guy Wetmore Carryl, who was a staff writer at the magazine.
A Ballad (In the manner of R-dy-rd K-pl-ng)
As I was walkin' the jungle round, a-klllin' of tigers an' time, I seed a kind of an author man, a writin' a rousin' rhyme; 'E was writin' a mile a minute an' more, an' I sez to 'im: "Oo are you?" Sez 'e, "I'm a poet—'er majesty's poet—soldier an' sailor, too!" An' 'is poem began at Ipsahan an' ended In Kalamazoo; It 'ad army in it, an' navy in it, an' jungle sprinkled through—
For 'e was a poet—'er majesty's poet—soldier an' sailor, too!
An' after I met him all over the world, a doin' of things a host;
'E 'ad one foot planted in Burmah, an' one on the Gloucester coast; 'E's 'alf a sailor and 'alf a whaler, 'e's captain, cook and crew. But most a poet—'er majesty's poet—soldier an' sailor, too! 'E's often Scot an' 'e's often not, but 'is work is never through, For 'e laughs at blame, an' 'e writes for fame, an' a bit of revenue— Bein' a poet—'er majesty's poet—soldier an' sailor, too!
'E'll take you up to the Arctic zone, 'e'll take you down to the Nile, 'E'll give you a barrack ballad in the Tommy Atkins style, Or 'e'll sing you a Deepsea Chantey as the bloomin' bo'suns do— For 'e's a poet—'er majesty's poet—soldier an' sailor, too!
An' there isn't no room for others, an' there's nothin' left to do; 'E 'as sailed the main from the 'Orn to Spain, 'e 'as trampled the jungle through, An' written up all there is to write—soldier an' sailor, too!
There are manners an' manners of writin', but 'is is the proper way, An' it ain't so hard to be a bard if you 'll imitate Rudyard K.; But sea an' shore an' peace an' war, an' everything else in view— 'E 'as gobbled the lot!—'er majesty's poet—soldier an sailor, too. 'E's not content with 'is Indian 'ome, 'e's looking for regions new, In another year 'e 'll 'ave swept 'em clear, an' what 'll the rest of us do? 'E's crowdin' us out!—'er majesty's poet—soldier an' sailor too!

# A Ballad of Trees and the Master

This poem was composed by Sidney Lanier in November 1880 in Baltimore, Maryland, when he was close to the end of his life. According to the footnotes from the collection of his poems published posthumously in 1884:
    “A Ballad of Trees and the Master” was conceived as an interlude of the latest “Hymn of the Marshes, Sunrise”, although written earlier. In the author’s first copy and first revision of that Hymn, the Ballad was incorporated, following the invocation to the trees which closes with:
       And there, oh there
       As ye hang with your myriad palms upturned in the air,
       Pray me a myriad prayer.
    In Mr. Lanier’s final copy the Ballad is omitted. It was one of several interludes which he at first designed, but, for some reason, afterwards abandoned.
Into the woods my Master went,  Clean forspent, forspent. Into the woods my Master came,  Forspent with love and shame. But the olives they were not blind to Him, The little gray leaves were kind to Him: The thorn-tree had a mind to Him  When into the woods He came.
Out of the woods my Master went,  And He was well content. Out of the woods my Master came,  Content with death and shame. When Death and Shame would woo Him last, From under the trees they drew Him last: ’Twas on a tree they slew Him—last When out of the woods He came.

​SALMERON Y ALFONSO, NICOLAS (1838–1908), Spanish statesman, was born at Alhama la Seca in the province of Almeria, on the 10th of April 1838. He was educated at Granada and became assistant professor of literature and philosophy at Madrid. The last years of the reign of Isabella II. were times of growing discontent with her bad government and with the monarchy. Salmeron joined the small party who advocated the establishment of a republic. He was director of the Opposition paper La Discusion, and co-operated with Don Emilio Castelar on La Democracia. In 1865 he was named one of the members of the directing committee of the Republican party. In 1867 he was imprisoned with other suspects. When the revolution of September 1868 broke out, he was at Almeria recovering from a serious illness. Salmeron was elected to the Cortes in 1871, and though he did not belong to the Socialist party, defended its right to toleration. When Don Amadeo of Savoy resigned the Spanish crown on the 11th of February 1873 Salmeron was naturally marked out to be a leader of the party which endeavoured to establish a republic in Spain. After serving as minister of justice in the Figueras, cabinet, he was chosen president of the Cortes, and then, on the 18th of July 1873, president of the republic, in succession to Pi Margall. He became president at a time when the Federalist party had thrown all the south of Spain into anarchy. Salmeron was compelled to use the troops to restore order. When, however, he found that the generals insisted on executing rebels taken in arms, he resigned on the ground that he was opposed to capital punishment (7th September). He resumed his seat as president of the Cortes on the 8th of September. His successor, Castelar, was compelled to restore order by drastic means. Salmeron took part in the attack made on him in the Cortes on the 3rd of :January 1874, which provoked the generals into closing the ​chamber and establishing a provisional military government. Salmeron went into exile and remained abroad till 1881, when he was recalled by Sagasta. In 1886 he was elected to the Cortes as Progressive deputy for Madrid, and unsuccessfully endeavoured to combine the jarring republican factions into a party of practical moderate views. On the 18th of April 1907 he was shot at, but not wounded, in the streets of Barcelona by a member of the more extreme Republican party. He died at Pau on the 21st of September 1908.

​SALOME, in Jewish history the name borne by several women of the Herod dynasty.
* Sister of Herod the Great, who became the wife successively of Joseph, Herod's uncle, Costobar, governor of Idumaea, and a certain Alexas.
* Daughter of Herod by Elpis, his eighth wife.
* Daughter of Herodias by her first husband Herod Philip. She was the wife successively of Philip the Tetrarch and Aristobulus, son of Herod of Chalcis. This Salome is the only one of the three who is mentioned in the New Testament (Matt. xiv. 3 sqq.; Mark vi. 17 sqq.) and only in connexion with the execution of John the Baptist. Herod Antipas, pleased by her dancing, offered her a reward “unto the half of my kingdom”; instructed by Herodias, she asked for John the Baptist's “head in a charger” (see Herod II. Antipas).
Salome is also the name of one of the women who are mentioned as present at the Crucifixion (Mark xv. 40), and afterwards in the Sepulchre (xvi. 1). Comparison with Matt. xxvii. 56 suggests that she was also the wife of Zebedee (cf. Matt. xx. 20–23). It is further conjectured that she was a sister of Mary the mother of Jesus, in which case James and John would be cousins of Jesus. In the absence of specific evidence any such identification must be regarded with suspicion.

# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Salmoneus

See also Salmoneus on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​SALMONEUS, in Greek mythology, son of Aeolus (king of Magnesia in Thessaly, the mythic ancestor of the Aeolian race), grandson of Hellen and brother of Sisyphus. He removed to Elis, where he built the town of Salmone, and became ruler of the country. His subjects were ordered to worship him under the name of Zeus; he built a bridge of brass, over which he drove at full speed in his chariot to imitate thunder, the effect being heightened by dried skins and caldrons trailing behind, while torches were thrown into the air to represent lightning. At last Zeus smote him with his thunderbolt, and destroyed the town (Apollodorus i. 9. 7; Hyginus, Fab. 60, 61; Strabo viii. p. 356; Manilius, Astronom. 5, 91; Virgil, Aen. vi. 585, with Heyne's excursus). Joseph Warton's idea that the story is introduced by Virgil as a protest against the Roman custom of deification is not supported by the general tone of the Aeneid itself. According to Frazer (Early History of the Kingship, 1905; see also Golden Bough, i., 1900, p. 82), the early Greek kings, who were expected to produce rain for the benefit of the crops, were in the habit of imitating thunder and lightning in the character of Zeus. At Crannon in Thessaly there was a bronze chariot, which in time of drought was shaken and prayers offered for rain (Antigonus of Carystus, Histariae mirabiles, 15). S. Reinach (Revue archéologique, 1903, i. 154) suggests that the story that Salmoneus was struck by lightning was due to the misinterpretation of a picture, in which a Thessalian magician appeared bringing down lightning and rain from heaven; hence arose the idea that he was the victim of the anger or jealousy of Zeus, and that the picture represented his punishment.

# A Biographical Dictionary of the Celebrated Women of Every Age and Country/Arragon, (Tullia of)

ARRAGON, (TULLIA OF) a Neapolitan Lady, celebrated for her erudition, understanding, and poetical talents. Flourished about 1550.
Was born at Naples, but carried to Rome in her infancy, and brought up in that city with the greatest care. When very young, the study of polite literature, and exercising a happy talent for poetry, which she possessed, formed her highest enjoyments. She soon became known, and was early classed with the most illustrious of the learned. She afterwards passed several years at Venice, where her society was much courted by all people of merit or science. She wrote many miscellaneous poems, which appeared at first scattered in several different collections, but were collected and published at Venice, in 1547. They carry marks of genius and a sprightly imagination, and are much praised for purity of stile.
She was persuaded by some of her literary acquaintance, to write a treatise on the infinity of love, Dell Infinita d'Amor, which was printed at Venice. She there also composed a poetical romance, called the Unfortunate, Il Meschino, which perhaps may be called an epic poem. The hero wanders, like Telemachus, from place to place, in search of his father. This work, of which the stile was much praised, had not much success. It was said to be translated from a Spanish Romance; but is now belieed to be an old Italian poem, new written and better versified. Honourable mention of Tullia is ​made by many Italian writers, but more particularly by the famous Girolamo Muzio, who was deeply in love with her, and esteemed her highly. In the third book of his letters, he speaks much of the good qualities and virtues of this ingenious lady; and his most beautiful poems are written in her praise, under the fictitious names of Tyrrhenia and Thalia.

This lady, whose knowledge and virtue were celebrated from a child, was the first that sought to bring back the simplicity of manners and self-denial which were known in cloisters, at their first institution. She herself gave the example of disinterestedness humility, and obedience, and wrought such a happy change in her sisterhood, that she was sent for, at the age of twenty, to Maubisson, to reform that great abbey, where she remained five years. It was here she became acquainted with Francis de Sales, afterwards canonized, who held her in high esteem. On her return to Port Royal, her assiduities never relaxed till her death. Her sister Catherine Agnes was a nun also, and author of two little books, Le Chapelet secret du Saint Sacrament, and l'Image de la Religieuse parfaite et imparfaite. The first was censured by the Sorbonne, as liable to mislead the ignorant. She died 1671, aged 77. She had been 72 years a nun, so that she must have taken the veil at the age of five years, which seems an absurdity.

In order to enjoy the advantage of the university, she put on man's apparel, and followed every course; as a student she soon took the highest standing in her college, and at the gaining of her degree received the laurel crown. She afterwards studied law, and obtained the title of Doctor, and the privilege of wearing the professional robe. Her eloquence was very much esteemed, as well as her learning and piety.

GRANT, ANNE,
Whose maiden name was Mac Vicar, was born at Glasgow, in February, 1755. When a child, she went with her father, who was an officer in the British army, to America, and spent some time in the interior of New York. While residing near Albany, Miss Mac Vicar was introduced to the notice of Madame Schuyler, wife, or widow rather, of Colonel Philip Schuyler; and to this "American lady," the English maiden, afterwards Mrs Grant, acknowledges she owed "whatever of culture her mind received." She returned to Scotland in 1768, and in 1779 married the Rev. Mr. Grant, of Laggan, by whom she had several children. On the death of her husband, in 1801, being obliged to resort to her pen for subsistence, she wrote "The Highlanders, and other Poems," "Memoirs of an American Lady," "Letters from the Mountains," "Essays on the Superstitions of the Highlands of Scotland," etc. She died on the 7th. of November, 1838, at Edinburgh, where she resided during the latter part of her life, and where she was the centre of a large circle of accomplished and literary people. From 1825 tin her death she enjoyed a royal pension of one hundred pounds yearly, which, with the emoluments derived from her writings. and some liberal bequests, rendered her quite independent.

GREEN, FRANCES HARRIET,
Whose maiden name was Whipple, was born in Smithfield, Rhode Island, America. Her family is one of the most honourable in the state, and some of the members have displayed uncommon talents. While very young she shewed a decided genius, and poetry was her first production. A number of her fugitive pieces appeared from 1832 to 1836. Her first prose work was "Memoirs of Eleanor Elbridge"—a coloured woman—which was very successful. The next book was a singular one to emanate from a woman's mind—"The Mechanic," addressed to operatives. This appeared in 1841; and in 1844, she published "Might and Right," an historical sketch of the doings of the two political parties during the attempts to form a new constitution for the State of Rhode Island. In the following years she wrote for the "Reform Periodicals," so called, ​principally; and in 1848, became editress of a magazine, "The Young People's Journal," in the hope of "combining the gems of science with the flowers of literature." Mrs. Green is an original and often a powerful writer. Her poetry is marked in its character, "The Dwarf's Story" is passionate and thrilling; some of her descriptive poems are exceedingly beautiful, and all are imbued with the warm earnest spirit of the seeker after good.
