# Opening the Window

Collected in Songs of Many Seasons 1862–1874 (1875)
Thus I lift the sash, so long Shut against the flight of song; All too late for vain excuse,— Lo, my captive rhymes are loose!
Rhymes that, flitting through my brain, Beat against my window-pane, Some with gayly colored wings, Some, alas! with venomed stings.
Shall they bask in sunny rays? Shall they feed on sugared praise? Shall they stick with tangled feet On the critic's poisoned sheet?
Are the outside winds too rough? Is the world not wide enough? Go, my wingèd verse, and try,— Go, like Uncle Toby's fly!

# Piracy

From Harper's Monthly Magazine, Jul 1913
Piracy
A Recitation
BY CLARENCE DAY, JR.
THE good old days of piracy, when men of various shades
Put satin on and fattened on the coast and shipping trades,
When Kidd and mighty what's-his-name were masters of the seas,
And my great-great-great-grandpapa had yours upon his knees,
Explaining that he wanted blood, and meant, by Jove, to let it—
Those good old days, I say, are gone; and gad! how I regret it.
(Repeat that after me, my friends: say, "Gad, how we regret it!")
They're gone. And yet how strange it is that piracy's taboo.
We've got the ships, we've got the sea, we've got the pirates, too.
My plumber and my tailor and that lad down at the bank—
Why shouldn't I be one myself, and make you walk the plank?
Yes, all you men shall walk the plank with bullets in your sides,
And all you girls shall cling to me and beg to be my brides.
(Repeat that after me, my dears: say, "Mayn't we be your brides?")   Ah, I'm a cold, impassive beast. Brides ain't no treat to me.
I'd rather watch my captives flop and flounder in the sea,
Where Kidd and mighty thingumbob—did I say that before?
Then I must ask you all to clap and call it an encore.
I thank you—thank you—that will do! Don't think I would rebuff
Your kindness in applauding me, but really, that's enough.
(Repeat that after me, I beg: say, "Really, that's enough.")

# Poems (David)/Anecdote of a Boy

ANECDOTE OF A BOY,
who was saved during the hurricane which happened off St. Thomas' Island, West Indies, when the royal mail steamer "Rhone" was lost, and many other vessels of different nations. Nearly all the "Rhone" crew perished from the effects of this most fearful "cyclone"; such a one not having been experienced for many, many years. (Oct. 29th, 1867.)
The Boy's Story.—Value of a Life Buoy.
John Bailey, an intelligent looking lad, living at 5, Regent street, Southampton, said,—
"When the ship 'Rhone' struck I was on deck, and jumped on the port side, and then into the water. I was then about half an hour on a piece of wood; and then I saw an ordinary seaman, named Gough, fall out of a life buoy, and I swam towards it. I was knocking about a long time, with both my ​arms through the lanyards, until it began to rain, and then I thought it was no good stopping any longer, and so I dropped off to sleep in the buoy; but I had no supper first though! I did not dream at all, and when I woke up I was near the shingle, about three quarters of a mile from the shore. I struck off for the shore, and saved myself; and then laid down, and went to sleep all night, with the life buoy for my pillow. The buoy is marked 'Rhone,' and I have brought it home with me. Of course I had nothing for my breakfast. I walked about for two or three hours on Beef Island; and then I fell in with two others, and we have come home in the "Douro."

PREFACE.
The Author, in sending forth these "trifles light as air," is anxious to offer to her readers this one fact, that they were written between the ages of eleven and seventeen. In making this confession, she is in no way desirous of extenuating their many faults, or of soliciting a more charitable criticism than they deserve. They have been called forth at the desire of many to whom they have been made known; and to those who may be good enough to peruse them she would use the words of the gentle Goldsmith:
adding these words of a later poet:
July, 1872.

# Poems (David)/An Incident on board the "London"

AN INCIDENT ON BOARD THE "LONDON."
When this unfortunate ship was lost, the Captain implored one of the Midshipmen, then on his first voyage, to spring into the boat; being overcome with terror, his only reply was "I cannot do so, I must stay and die with you!" (11th January, 1866.)
# Pindar and Anacreon/Anacreon/Ode 59

ODE LIX.—ON HIMSELF.
Methought, in sleep's delightful trance, I saw Anacreon advance;
The tuneful Teian, skill'd to sing The lays of love on warbling string. I hasten'd to his kind embrace, And kiss'd his sweetly smiling face. Though somewhat old, he seemed to wage Successful war with spiteful age: For love still beam'd in each bright eye, And from his lips there seem'd to fly Sweet gales of rich and rosy wine, Which shed a fragrance quite divine. His slow and staggering steps were stay'd By laughing Cupid's kindly aid. The garland that intwined his hair The bard unbound and bade me wear. Anacreon's burning soul it breathed, And I with it my brows enwreathed. E'er since my heart is doom'd to prove The pleasing pains of lasting love.
# Pindar and Anacreon/Anacreon/Ode 6

ODE VI.—THE BANQUET.
With glowing wreaths of roses crown'd, We'll pass the cheerful goblet round; But with no squeamish, modest sips, The cup shall kiss our thirsty lips. And see, to grace the festive hour, The maiden seeks our shelter'd bower, Whose pretty, slender foot well suits The music of the soft-toned lutes; While ivy wreath'd, her thyrsus fair She rustles through the yielding air. And hark! a fair-hair'd youth begins, And as he wakes the warbling strings
His liquid voice breathes odours round, And mingles with the melting sound. With golden locks, young Cupid see, And Bacchus, young and fair as he; With these is lovely Venus too, Who hastes to join the sportive crew; While we old men can scarce refrain To live the life we loved again.
* ↑ A custom seems to be here alluded to which is still common in Turkey; at the entertainments of persons of consequence dancing girls, called almas, are hired to amuse the company by their performances.
* ↑ The thyrsus was a spear encircled with ivy, and sometimes with vine leaves, and was carried by those who attended the feasts in honour of Bacchus.
* ↑ The following extract may perhaps elucidate this passage: "The summer is already far advanced in this part of the world; and, for some miles round Adrianople, the whole ground is laid out in gardens, and the banks of the rivers are set with rows of fruit trees, under which all the most considerable Turks divert themselves every evening; not with walking, that is not one of their pleasures; but a set party of them choose out a green spot, where the shade is very thick, and there they spread a carpet, on which they sit drinking their coffee, and are generally attended by some slave with a fine voice, or that plays on some instrument."—Lady Montague's Letters. Letter to Mr. Pope from Adrianople, April 1st, 1717.
# Pindar and Anacreon/Anacreon/Ode 9

ODE IX.—ON A DOVE.
Pretty pigeon, tell me, pray, Whither speeding, whence away? Breathing balmy odours round, Where thy fluttering pinions sound? Who despatch'd thee through the air? What commission dost thou bear? "Anacreon, the blithe and gay, The master dear whom I obey, Sent me swift from yonder grove To seek the lady of his love. I dare not tell the name she bears, But beauty's sweetest smile she wears: Possess'd of every pleasing art, She reigns supreme o'er every heart. Fair Venus sold me to the bard, A little hymn the fix'd reward.
So now the poet's page am I, His courier through the pathless sky; And sometimes, as you see me now, The bearer of some tender vow. He thinks, perhaps, he pleases me, By saying I shall soon be free; But though I should the boon obtain, His willing slave I'll still remain. For, ah! I do not wish to roam, Or quit my sweet, my happy home, Far flying over hill and plain My wretched, rustic food to gain; Or shivering on some tree to stay, And coo the cheerless hours away: For now I feast on dainty bread, And by the hands I love am fed; And when the cup has pressed his lip, His sweet delicious wine I sip; And when my heart is light and gay, I sometimes little frolics play; Upon his shoulder take my place, And with my wings o'erspread his face. Or if to sleep my humour suit, I perch upon his warbling lute, And by his careful hand caress'd, By softest sounds am lull'd to rest. I've told you all—begone! adieu! And let me now my flight pursue. Nay, friend, no longer urge my stay, For I have prated like a jay."
* ↑ To understand this ode properly, we must remember that it was a custom among the ancients, when they undertook long journeys, and were desirous of sending back any news with uncommon expedition, to take tame pigeons along with them. When they thought proper to write to their friends, they let one of these birds loose, with letters fastened to its neck: the bird, once released, would never cease its flight till it arrived at its nest and young ones. The same custom is still common among the Turks and other Eastern nations
* ↑ It is impossible not to admire the address and delicacy of this indirect compliment to his own writings. Venus, the goddess of beauty, and mother of the Graces, is represented as being willing to purchase a little hymn of his composing at the price of one of her favourite doves. This passage is cited by Fawkes as a proof that Anacreon wrote hymns in honour of the gods: but be this as it may, it is certain that few fragments have reached us, and those of doubtful authority.
# Pindar and Anacreon/Anacreon/Ode 56

ODE LVI.—ON HIS OLD AGE.
Alas! my youth, my joys have fled, The snows of age have bleach'd my head. Tedious, toothless, trembling age, Must now alone my thoughts engage! Adieu, ye joys which once I knew— To life, to love, to all, adieu! Henceforth, unhappy! doom'd to know Tormenting fears of future wo! Oh! how my soul with horror shrinks Whene'er my startled fancy thinks Of Pluto's dark and dreary cave, The chill, the cheerless, gaping grave! When death's cold hand has closed these eyes And stifled life's last struggling sighs, In darkness and in dust must I, Alas! for ever—ever lie!
* ↑ It is supposed by many that the five following odes were not written by Anacreon; but, as Barnes admits them into his edition, and they are given in most other translations, it was thought proper to insert them here.
* ↑ Let the reader contrast this exclamation of the despairing heathen philosopher, with the exulting language of "Paul the aged"—when ready to be offered, and the time of his departure at hand.
# Pindar and Anacreon/Anacreon/Ode 60

ODE LX.—ON THE SPRING.
How sweet through sunny meads to stray, With Flora's rich profusion gay, While Zephyr breathes its softest sighs, And mingled perfumes round us rise! How sweet beneath the secret shade, By the vine's broad foliage made, With some loved fair to pass the day, And talk th' unheeded hours away!
THE END.
# Pindar and Anacreon/Anacreon/Ode 8

ODE VIII.—ON HIS DREAM.
Peaceful slumbering through the night, On a purple couch reclined, Dreams of joy and visions bright Bacchus sent to charm my mind.
Methought I join'd in rapid race With flying nymphs a sportive crew, And urging on with swiftest pace, Still kept the lovely game in view.
While youths, as young Lyæus fair, With jealous hate, and envy stung, Who saw my joy, but could not share Reviled me as I pass'd along.
A kiss I claim'd—my promised prize; But as on pleasure's brink I seem, The vision fled my cheated eyes: I woke, and lo! 'twas all a dream!
Then lonely, sad, and angry too, To find my high-raised hopes were vain,
The dear delusion to renew, I sigh'd, and sunk to sleep again.
* ↑ For the different metre of this ode, and of some others in the collection, I have only to remark that I have deviated from the usual Anacreontic measure for the sake of variety.
* ↑ Lyæus is a name given to Bacchus. It is derived from a Greek verb, signifying to loosen or free, and is, from the circumstance of wine freeing the mind from anxiety, appropriately assigned to him.
* ↑ There is a similar passage in one of Ovid's epistles; in that from Sappho to Phaon, so beautifully translated by Pope. I have transcribed it, in order that the reader may have the pleasure of comparing them:— "Oh, night, more pleasing than the brightest day, When fancy gives what absence takes away, And dress'd in all its visionary charms, Restored my fair deserted to my arms! But when with day the sweet delusions fly, And all things wake to life and joy, but I, As if once more forsaken, I complain, And close my eyes, to dream of you again."
# Pindar and Anacreon/Anacreon/Ode 55

ODE LV.—THE LOVER'S MARK.
The courser bears a brand of fire, To mark his owner, or his sire; The turban, twisted round his brows, The fiery foreign Parthian shows; And I by instinct sure can tell The lover's mark—I know it well: For love in vain concealment tries, The soul peeps through the telltale eyes.
* ↑ The tiara worn by the ancient Parthians resembled the modern turban. Addison has translated from Dionysius the following description of the situation and manners of this ancient people:— "Beyond the Caspian straits those realms extend, Where circling bows the martial Parthians bend. Versed only in the rougher arts of war, No fields they wound, nor urge the shining share; No ships they boast to stem the rolling tide, Nor lowing herds o'er flow'ry meadows guide: But infants wing the feather'd shaft for flight, And rein the fiery steed with fond delight. On every plain the whistling spear alarms, The neighing courser, and the clang of arms; For there no food the little heroes taste Till warlike sweat has earn'd the short repast."
* ↑ The eyes, the windows of the soul, are notorious telltales of what is passing within.
