Warfield v. Chaffe
This action was commenced in the Fourteenth District Court in and for the Parish of Ouachita, La., to recover the amount due upon a note made by Mrs. Warfield, the plaintiff in error, to W. J. Q. Baker, and by him indorsed to the plaintiffs below,-John Chaffe & Brother,-and also to enforce a vendor's privilege. Judgment was asked for the amount claimed to be due upon the note, and also for 'fifteen dollars costs of stamping.' Attached to the petition was a copy of the note, bearing date May 3, 1867; below which was the following: 'Original act duly stamped and cancelled by collector of Third District of Louisiana, this third day of September, 1872.-F. A. Hall, D'y Recorder.'
Mrs. Warfield answered the petition; and, among other defences, she insisted that there were not any revenue-stamps on the note when it went into the hands of the plaintiffs, and that they had no authority to put stamps upon it. She thus, by the pleadings, tendered an issue of fact.
The principal contest between the parties was as to the plaintiffs' title to the note; and W. J. Q. Baker was permitted to intervene in his own behalf, and to insist that he was the owner.
At the trial in the District Court, no question as to the stamping of the note appears to have been presented or decided: certainly no testimony was offered on either side in respect to it. All the testimony in the case appears to be incorporated in the record. Judgment having been given against Mrs. Warfield and Baker in the District Court, they each appealed to the Supreme Court, where the judgment was affirmed in July, 1874. In the opinion of the court, which comes here as part of the record, the only reference to the question of stamps which appears is as follows: 'The objection that the note was not stamped, not having been made when it was received in evidence, cannot now be considered.'
In the petition presented to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the State for the allowance of this writ, it is stated, for the first time in the case, that the defendant, Mrs. Warfield, claimed the privilege, right, and immunity of being relieved and exempted from all liability on the note or obligation sued on, under the laws of the United States requiring such instruments to be stamped to give them validity at the time the instrument sued upon was executed; and the decision of the Supreme Court of the State denied the claim.
The record sent here from the Supreme Court does not disclose any such claim. The petition for the allowance of the writ in this court is not part of the record of the court below. We act only upon that record; and that does not show that any Federal question was either presented by the pleadings or upon the trial in the District Court, or decided by the Supreme Court.
Writ of error dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

# Waltzing Matilda

* information about this edition.
* related portals: Australian poetry, Song lyrics, Sheet music.
* sister projects: Wikipedia article, Commons category, Wikidata item.
Folk song by Banjo Paterson, written in 1895, widely considered Australia's national song. It tells the story of an itinerant worker (a "swagman") making a drink of tea at a bush camp and stealing a sheep to eat. When police officers come to arrest him, he drowns himself in a small watering hole (a "billabong").
Oh there once was a swagman camped in the billabong, Under the shade of a Coolibah tree, And he sang as he looked at the old billy boiling, Who’ll come a’waltzing Matilda with me
Who’ll come a’waltzing Matilda my darling Who’ll come a’waltzing Matilda with me Waltzing Matilda and leading a water-bag Who’ll come a’waltzing Matildta with me
2nd Verse
Down came a jumbuck to drink at the billabong, Up jumped the swagman & grabbed him with glee, And he said as he put him away in the tucker bag “You’ll come a’waltzing Matilda with me”!—
Chorus: “You’ll come” etc
3rd Verse
Down came the squatter a’riding his thoroughbred, Down came policemen, one, two and three, “Whose is the jumbuck you’ve got in the tucker bag? You’ll come a’waltzing Matilda with we.”
Chorus: “You’ll come” etc
4th verse
But the swagman he up & he jumped in the water-hole Drowning himself by the Coolibah tree, And his ghost may be heard as it sings by the billabong Who’ll come a’waltzing Matilda with me.
Chorus: “Who’ll come” etc

Nemesis
By H. P. Lovecraft
Thro' the ghoul-guarded gateways of slumber, Past the wan-moon'd abysses of night, I have liv'd o'er my lives without number, I have sounded all things with my sight; And I struggle and shriek ere the daybreak, being driven to madness with fright.
I have whirl'd with the earth at the dawning, When the sky was a vaporous flame; I have seen the dark universe yawning Where the black planets roll without aim, Where they roll in their horror unheeded, without knowledge or lustre or name.
I have drifted o'er seas without ending, Under sinister grey-clouded skies That the many-fork'd lightning is rending, That resound with hysterical cries; With the moans of invisible daemons that out of the green water rise.
I have plunged like a deer thro' the arches Of the hoary primordial grove, Where the oaks feel the presence that marches And stalks on where no spirit dares rove, And I flee from a thing that surrounds me, and leers thro' dead branches above.
I have stumbled by cave-riddled mountains That rise barren and bleak from the plain, I have drunk of the frog-foetid fountains That ooze down to the marsh and the main; And in hot curs'd tarns I have seen things I care not to gaze on again.
I have scann'd the vast ivy-clad palace, I have trod its untenanted hall, Where the moon writhing up from the valleys Shows the tapestried things on the wall; Strange figures discordantly woven, that I cannot endure to recall.
I have peer'd from the casement in wonder At the mouldering meadows around, At the many-roof'd village laid under The curse of a grave-girdled ground; And from rows of white urn-carven marble I listen intently for sound.
I have haunted the tombs of the ages, I have flown on the pinions of fear Where the smoke-belching Erebus rages; Where the jokuls loom snow-clad and drear: And in realms where the sun of the desert consumes what it never can cheer.
I was old when the Pharaohs first mounted The jewel-deck'd throne by the Nile; I was old in those epochs uncounted When I, and I only, was vile; And Man, yet untainted and happy, dwelt in bliss on the far Arctic isle.
Oh, great was the sin of my spirit, And great is the reach of its doom; Not the pity of Heaven can cheer it, Nor can respite be found in the tomb; Down the infinite aeons come beating the wings of unmerciful gloom.
Thro' the ghoul-guarded gateways of slumber, Past the wan-moon'd abysses of night, I have liv'd o'er my lives without number, I have sounded all things with my sight; And I struggle and shriek ere the daybreak, being driven to madness with fright.

# Wat'ry god (1)/The Nymph's Reply

THE NYMPH'S REPLY.
IF that the world and love were young, And truth in every ſhepherd's tongue, Theſe pretty pleaſures might me move, To live with thee, and be thy love. But time drives flocks from field to fold, When rivers rage, and rocks grow cold, And Philomel becometh dumb, And all complain of cares to come.
The flow'rs do fade, and wanton fields, To wayward winter reck’ning yields; A honey tongue and heart of gall, May pleaſures turn to ſorrows all: Thy gowns, thy ſhoes, thy beds of roſes, Thy cap, thy kirtle, and thy poſies, Soon break, ſoon wither, ſoon forgotten, In folly ripe, in reaſon rotten.
Thy beds of ſtraw, and ivy buds, Thy coral claſps, and amber ſtuds, All theſe in me no means can move, To come to thee and be thy love. But could love laſt, and love ſtill breed, Had joys no date, nor age no need; Then theſe delights my mind might move, To live with thee, and be thy love.

# Wessex Poems and Other Verses/To an Orphan Child

TO AN ORPHAN CHILD
A WHIMSEY
AH, child, thou art but half thy darling mother's; Hers couldst thou wholly be, My light in thee would outglow all in others; She would relive to me. But niggard Nature's trick of birth Bars, lest she overjoy, Renewal of the loved on earth Save with alloy.
The Dame has no regard, alas, my maiden, For love and loss like mine— No sympathy with mind-sight memory-laden; Only with fickle eyne. To her mechanic artistry My dreams are all unknown, And why I wish that thou couldst be But One's alone!
# Wessex Poems and Other Verses/To a Lady

TO A LADY
OFFENDED BY A BOOK OF THE WRITER'S
NOW that my page upcloses, doomed, maybe, Never to press thy cosy cushions more, Or wake thy ready Yeas as heretofore, Or stir thy gentle vows of faith in me:
Knowing thy natural receptivity, I figure that, as flambeaux banish eve, My sombre image, warped by insidious heave Of those less forthright, must lose place in thee.
So be it. I have borne such. Let thy dreams Of me and mine diminish day by day, And yield their space to shine of smugger things; Till I shape to thee but in fitful gleams, And then in far and feeble visitings, And then surcease. Truth will be truth alway.

VALENCIENNES
(1793)
By Corporal Tullidge. See "The Trumpet-Major"
In Memory of S. C. (Pensioner). Died 184-
WE trenched, we trumpeted and drummed, And from our mortars tons of iron hummed Ath'art the ditch, the month we bombed The Town o' Valencieën.
'Twas in the June o' Ninety-dree (The Duke o' Yark our then Commander beën) The German Legion, Guards, and we Laid siege to Valencieën.
This was the first time in the war That French and English spilled each other's gore; —God knows what year will end the roar Begun at Valencieën!
'Twas said that we'd no business there A-topperèn the French for disagreën; However, that's not my affair— We were at Valencieën.
Such snocks and slats, since war began Never knew raw recruit or veteràn: Stone-deaf therence went many a man Who served at Valencieën.
Into the strects, ath'art the sky, A hundred thousand balls and bombs were fleën; And harmless townsfolk fell to die Each hour at Valencieën!
And, sweatèn wi' the bombardiers, A shell was slent to shards anighst my ears: —'Twas nigh the end of hopes and fears For me at Valencieën!
They bore my wownded frame to camp, And shut my gapèn skull, and washed on cleän, And jined en wi' a zilver clamp Thik night at Valencieën.
"We've fetched en back to quick from dead; But never more on earth while rose is red Will drum rouse Corpel!" Doctor said O' me at Valencieën.
"Twer true. No voice o' friend or foe Can reach me now, or any livèn beën; And little have I power to know Since then at Valencieën!
I never hear the zummer hums O' bees; and don't know when the cuckoo comes; But night and day I hear the bombs We threw at Valencieën. . . .
As for the Duke o' Yark in war, There be some volk whose judgment o' en is meän; But this I say—'a was not far From great at Valencieën.
O' wild wet nights, when all seems sad, My wownds come back, as though new wownds I'd had; But yet—at times I'm sort o' glad I fout at Valencieën.
Well: Heaven wi' its jasper halls Is now the on'y Town I care to be in. . . . Good Lord, if Nick should bomb the walls As we did Valencieën!
1878-1897.
