# Source Problems in English History/Introduction

INTRODUCTION
TWENTY years ago the value of the use of sources in teaching history was generally recognized. But usually only detached fragments were employed, and these served only to interest the student and to vivify the narrative. There were a few exceptions, such as some of the numbers in the series of Translations and Reprints from the Original Sources of European History, published by the University of Pennsylvania. Even these, however, did not furnish any setting for the problem, or suggest the important questions which were to be solved. Consequently the average teacher was not able to employ such material to the best advantage.
When the first volume in this series, by Duncalf and Krey, was published, a very important advance was made. For then there was a sufficient amount of apparatus to enable teachers to use the material in a satisfactory manner. One keen reviewer wrote, “The thorough carrying out of the method even in this small field will afford critical training such as few students of history, we fear, now get in either ​school or college.” The same may be said of the present volume.
Among its strong points, three especially may be enumerated. The stress is laid upon the development of the English government, which is the most important feature to be emphasized in the study of English history. The connection between English institutions and those of New England is brought out in one of the problems. This suggests the self-evident truth that the early settlers in New England got their experience in governmental affairs not from their knowledge of or participation in the central government of England, but because they were necessarily concerned with the affairs of their own parish. This truth, although self-evident, has too frequently been lost sight of in our teaching of English history. Lastly, the connection between the present and the past is well brought out, notably in the last problem, so that the student will be led to feel that the history which he has been studying is essential for an understanding of present-day conditions.

# Sylvia the Fair

Sylvia the fair, in the bloom of fifteen, Felt an innocent warmth as she lay on the green: She had heard of a pleasure, and something she guessed By the towsing and tumbling and touching her breast: She saw the men eager, but was at a loss What they meant by their sighing and kissing so close; By their praying and whining, And clasping and twining, And panting and wishing, And sighing and kissing, And sighing and kissing so close.
"Ah!" she cried, "ah, for a languishing maid In a country of Christians to die without aid! Not a Whig, or a Tory, or Trimmer at least, Or a Protestant parson, or Catholic priest, To instruct a young virgin that is at a loss What they meant by their sighing and kissing so close; By their praying and whining, And clasping and twining, And panting and wishing, And sighing and kissing, And sighing and kissing so close."
Cupid in shape of a swain did appear; He saw the sad wound, and in pity drew near; Then showed her his arrow, and bid her not fear, For the pain was no more than a maiden may bear; When the balm was infused, she was not at a loss What they meant by their sighing and kissing so close; By their praying and whining, And clasping and twining, And panting and wishing, And sighing and kissing, And sighing and kissing so close.

# Tarantella

First published in The Daniel Baker Collegian, May 25, 1926.
Heads! Heads! Heads! Bounce on the cobble stones. Glitter of scarlets and flame of reds Crimson the road that Freedom treads, We’re rearing a fane of bones. And bare feet Weave their beat Down the red reeking street. Hell holds sway. Slay! Slay! Hate goes bellowing through the land, Crimson-hued is my gleaming brand. Kill! Kill! And my lips a-thrill With hot kisses snatched in the frenzied whirl— Raped from the lips of a noble girl. And her brother’s blood on my hand. Rage, lust, passion-hot. Prance, dance, you sans culotte. This is your hour, the height of your power, Culture, decency forgot.  Blood! Blood! The red gleams preen On yon fair maid the guillotine! Vive, vive la guillotine! Hate and slaughter, that is all; Blood to shed and heads to fall. Love is lust and good is lies,
Satan rides the eery skies. Dance and sway Whirl away Meet and kiss, it is bliss But to slay! All the world’s a gore-rimmed sea, lo, the devil laughs with glee. Come and dance then, you with me, come and caper wild and free. With red blood those fires are lit, Hades’ smoke is tinged with it. And the very skies that soar Are encrimsoned as with gore— Yon was once a baron’s head, Now it decks a pike instead. I salute ye, with my sword. Here’s to you, m’sieu le lord. Much you had of wondrous wine, Ermine coats and horses fine, Luscious lips of dainty girls, Snowy bosoms, gold and pearls, None so haughty as your sneer— Now you ride a common’s spear. Here’s to you! In hell you burn. I am on the upward turn Of the slow revolving Wheel With my reign of blood and steel. O’er my prostrate head ye strode; On my shoulder bent ye rode. You the whip-man, I the clown Till I rose to tread you down. They will rise to trample me— For the moment I am free. Through the ribs the winds may drone Now the world is all mine own. Mine to lust, to rage, to dance! Vive la Freedom! Vive la France!

# Tar and Feathers

Oh! the circus swooped down On the Narrabri town, For the Narrabri populace moneyed are; And the showman he smiled At the folk he beguiled To come all the distance from Gunnedah.
But a juvenile smart, Who objected to "part", Went in on the nod, and to do it he Crawled in through a crack In the tent at the back, For the boy had no slight ingenuity.
And says he with a grin, "That's the way to get in; But I reckon I'd better be quiet or They'll spiflicate me," And he chuckled, for he Had the loan of the circus proprietor.
But the showman astute On that wily galoot Soon dropped -- you'll be thinking he leathered him -- Not he; with a grim Sort of humourous whim, He took him and tarred him and feathered him.
Says he, "You can go Round the world with a show, And knock every Injun and Arab wry; With your name and your trade On the posters displayed, The feathered what-is-it from Narrabri.
Next day for his freak By a Narrabri Beak, He was jawed with a deal of verbosity; For his only appeal Was "professional zeal" -- He wanted another monstrosity.
Said his Worship, "Begob! You are fined forty bob, And six shillin's costs to the clurk!" he says. And the Narrabri joy, Half bird and half boy. Has a "down" on himself and on circuses.

# Tarantella (Belloc)

Tarantella
By H. BELLOC
Do you remember an inn, Miranda? Do you remember an inn? And the tedding and the spreading Of the straw for a bedding, And the fleas that tease in the High Pyrenees, And the wine that tasted of tar? And the cheers and the jeers of the young muleteers (Under the dark of the vine veranda)? Do you remember an inn, Miranda? Do you remember an inn? And the cheers and the jeers of the young muleteeers Who had n't got a penny, And who were n't paying any, And the hammer at the doors and the din? And the hip! hop! hap! Of the clap Of the hands to the twirl and the swirl Of the girl gone chancing, Glancing, Dancing, Backing and advancing, Snapping of a clapper to the spin Out and in— And the ting, tong, tang, of the guitar! Do you remember an inn, Miranda? Do you remember an Inn?
Never more; Miranda, Never more. Only the high peaks hoar And Aragon a torrent at the door. No sound In the walls of the halls where falls The tread Of the feet of the dead to the ground. No sound; But the boom Of the far waterfall like doom.

CHAPTER XXIII.
Battles with the Aspasians.
Alexander now took command of the shield-bearing guards, the Companion cavalry with the exception of ​those who had been joined with Hephaestion's division, the regiments of what were called foot-Companions, the archers, the Agrianians and thfe horse-lancers, and advanced with them into the land of the Aspasians, Gnraeans and Assacenians. Marching by a mountainous and rough road along the river called Choes, which he crossed with difficulty, he ordered the main body of his infantry to follow at leisure; while he himself took all the cavalry, and 800 of the Macedonian infantry whom he mounted upon horses with their infantry shields, and made a forced march, because he had received information that the barbarians who inhabited that district had fled for safety into the mountains which extend through the land and into as many of their cities as were strong enough to resist attack. Assaulting the first of these cities which was situated on his route, he routed, at the first attack without any delay, the men whom he found drawn up in front of the city, and shut them up in it. He was himself wounded by a dart which penetrated through the breastplate into his shoulder; but the wound was only a slight one, for the breastplate prevented the dart from penetrating right through his shoulder. Leonnatus and Ptolemy, son of Lagus, were also wounded. Then he encamped near the city at the place where the wall seemed most easy to assault. At dawn on the following day the Macedonians easily forced their way through the first wall, as it had tiot been strongly built. The city had been surrounded with a double wall. At the second wall the barbarians stood their ground for a short time; but when the scaling ladders were now being fixed, and the defenders were being wounded with darts from all sides, they no longer stayed; but rushed through the gates out of the ​city towards the mountains. Some of them were killed in the flight and the Macedonians, being enraged because they had wounded Alexander, slew all whom they took prisoners. Most of them, however, escaped into the mountains, because they were not far from the city. Having levelled this city with the ground, he marched to another, named Audaca, which he got possession of by capitulation. He left Craterus there with the other commanders of the infantry to capture all the remaining cities which would not yield of their own accord, and to set the affairs of the whole country in such order as he should find most convenient under the circumstances.

CHAPTER XX.
Magnanimous Treatment of the Family of Darius.
In relation to this subject there is a story current, that soon after the battle which was fought at Issus between ​Darius and Alexander, the eunuch who was guardian of Darius's wife escaped and came to him. When Darius saw this man, his first inquiry was, whether his children, wife, and mother were alive? Ascertaining that they were not only alive, but were called queens, and enjoyed the same personal service and attention which they had been accustomed to have with Darius, he thereupon made a second inquiry, whether his wife was still chaste? When he ascertained that she remained so, he asked again whether Alexander had not offered any violence to her to gratify his lust? The eunuch took an oath and said: "O king, thy wife is just as thou didst leave her; and Alexander is the best and most chaste of men." Upon this Darius stretched his hands towards heaven and prayed as follows:— "King Zeus, to whom power has been assigned to regulate the affairs of kings among men, do thou now protect for me especially the empire of the Persians and Medes, as indeed thou didst give it to me. But if I am no longer king of Asia according to thy behest, at any rate do thou hand over my power to no other man but Alexander." Thus not even to enemies, I ween, are chaste actions a matter of unconcern. Oxyartes, hearing that his children were in the power of Alexander, and that he was treating his daughter Roxana with respect, took courage and came to him. He was held in honour at the king's court, as was natural after such a piece of good fortune.
* ↑ Cf. Herodotus, i. 131; Curtius, iv. 42. The Persians called this god Ormuzd.

CHAPTER XXII.
Alexander Reaches the River Cabul, and Receives the Homage of Taxiles.
After performing this exploit, Alexander himself went to Bactra; but sent Craterus with 600 of the cavalry Gompanions and his own brigade of infantry as well those of Polysperchon, Attalus, and Alcetas, against Catanes and Austanes, who were the only rebels still remaining in the land of the Paraetacenians. A sharp battle was fought ​with them in which Craterus was victorious; Catanes being killed there while fighting, and Austanes being captured and brought to Alexander. Of the barbarians with them 120 horsemen and about 1,500 foot soldiers were killed. When Craterus had done this, he also went to Bactra, where the tragedy in reference to Callisthenes and the pages befell Alexander. As the spring was now over, he took the army and advanced from Bactra towards India, leaving Amyntas in the land of the Bactrians with 3,500 horses and 10,000 foot. He crossed the Caucasus in ten days and arrived at the city of Alexandria, which had been founded in the land of the Parapamisadae when he made his first expedition to Bactra. He dismissed from office the governor whom he had then placed over the city, because he thought he was not ruling well. He also settled in Alexandria others from the neighbouring tribes and the soldiers who were now unfit for service in addition to the first settlers, and commanded Nicanor, one of the Companions, to regulate the affairs of the city itself. Moreover he appointed Tyriaspes viceroy of the land of the Parapamisadae and of the rest of the country as far as the river Cophen. Arriving at the city of Nicaea, he offered sacrifice to Athena and then advanced towards the Cophen, sending a herald forward to Taxiles
* ↑ This term is a Persian word meaning mountaineers. The tribe mentioned here lived between the rivers Oxus and Jaxartes, on the borders of Bactria and Sogdiana.
* ↑ Curtius (viii. 17) says Alexander took with him 30,000 select troops from all the conquered provinces, and that the army which he led against the Indians numbered 120,000 men.
* ↑ This is the Indian Caucasus, or mount Parapamisus, now called Hindu-Koosh.
* ↑ The Cophen is now called Cabul. Nicaea was probably on the same site as the city of Cabul. Others say it is Beghram. The Greek word Satrapes denotes a Persian viceroy. It is a corruption of a word meaning court-guardian, in the Behistun Inscriptions written Khshatrapa. See Rawlinson's Herod., i. 192.
* ↑ Curtius (viii. 43) says that Taxiles was the title which the king of this district received. His name was Omphis.
* ↑ A district between the rivers Indus and Attock. Its capital, Peucela, is the modern Pekheli.
* ↑ The brigade of Clitus still bore the name of its commander after his death. Cf. Arrian, vii. 14 infra.

She was distinguished for her beauty and accomplishments, having received a Grecian education. By her he had a son named Heracles. See Plutarch (Alex., 21). She and her son were put to death by Polysperchon, B.C.309.
