# Can she excuse my wrongs

* information about this edition.
* sister projects: Wikipedia article, Wikidata item.
Published in 1597 in a setting by the composer John Dowland, these anonymous lyrics have been attributed to the Earl of Essex. The theme and images of the lyrics are those of the stereotypical Petrarchan lover, although it has been suggested that there is a political subtext.
Can she excuse my wrongs with Virtue's cloak? Shall I call her good when she proves unkind? Are those clear fires which vanish into smoke? Must I praise the leaves where no fruit I find?
No no: where shadows do for bodies stand, Thou may'st be abus'd if thy sight be dim. Cold love is like to words written on sand, Or to bubbles which on the water swim.
Wilt thou be thus abused still, Seeing that she will right thee never? If thou canst not o'ercome her will The love will be thus fruitless ever.
Was I so base, that I might not aspire Unto those high joys which she holds from me? As they are high , so high is my desire: If she this deny, what can granted be?
If she will yeld to that which reason is, It is Reason's will that Love should be just. Dear make me happy still be granting this, Or cut off delays if that die I must.
Better a thousand times to die, Than for to live thus still tormented: Dear, but remember it was I Who for thy sake did die contended.

BENJAMIN WEBSTER.
This veteran actor had earned a great reputation many years ago. His name will go down to future generations of playgoers as that of one who was a master of the art of embodying on the stage every variety of character. No man has played with success in a greater number of characters than the proprietor of the Adelphi.
THE GOVERNOR.
​lessee, retired, Mr. Webster took his place, and for sixteen years was lessee of that house. At the end of that time Mr. Buckstone took it, and Mr. Webster devoted himself exclusively to the Adelphi.
In 1858 he rebuilt that theatre, an old and inconvenient house, and raised in its stead one of the most complete and well-constructed houses in London. The Haymarket owes its position to his energy and liberality. He spent 2000l. a-year on English authors at a time when, as now, there was a cry that everything worth seeing was cribbed from the French. Knowles, Bulwer, and Jerrold supplied him with plays; and Macready, Phelps, Wallack, Warde, Farren, Reeve, Buckstone, Charles Mathews, Power, Helen Faucit, Mrs. Glover, Mrs. Warner, and Mrs. Stirling, illustrated them. Not least in this list of 'all the talents' was Benjamin Webster himself. It has been said of him, that 'his motley assumptions remind us of a crowd of Hogarth's. In looking back over all the years of his career, the mass is overpowering. Though each face is individual old age and youth, fops and vulgarians, Cockneys and countrymen, misers and gamblers, blacklegs and priests; Welshmen, Scotchmen, and Dutchmen; negroes, Jesuits, and Jews—their habiliments would form the wardrobe of a theatre.' Perhaps his greatest impersonation, out of all the characters he assumed, was that of Robert Landry, in the 'Dead Heart.' This was a wonderful delineation of character; and the scene in which Robert recovers his memory, after many years' incarceration in the Bastille, is as fine a piece of acting as ever was seen on the English stage. Old playgoers, too, will recall with delight his George Darville, his Richard Pride, and his Tartuffe. In all his characters, he entered heart and soul into the author's meaning, and the spectator was lost in the reality of the scene.
One other feature of Mr. Webster's career deserves notice; it is his connection with the Royal Dramatic College. This valuable institution he has from the first assisted with his purse and his labour, and has always done all he could to help it on to its present usefulness to decayed members of the profession.
Mr. Webster's very long connection with the stage has caused him to be looked upon as a sort of Nestor among actors; his friends, private and professional, looking up to him as 'the Governor.'
# Cartoon portraits and biographical sketches of men of the day/A. C. Swinburne

A. C. SWINBURNE.
Mr. Swinburne, who was born at Holmwood in Surrey in 1843, received his education at Eton and Oxford. He left the University without taking a degree, and in 1861 published his first poems—'The Queen Mother,' and 'Rosamond.'
These first efforts were not received with much favour either by the critics or by the general public; but, four years afterwards, the publication of 'Atalanta in Calydon' at once placed the young and ardent poet in the first rank among our living bards.
He was enabled to dispute the laurels with Browning and Tennyson. The feeling and inspiration of the 'Atalanta' are thoroughly Greek, and it is written in rich yet simple English, artfully elaborated into most liquid verse.
There is no poet whose verses are more beautifully liquid and flowing than Mr. Swinburne's, and this quality is quite distinctive of him. His power of rhyming is wonderful. 'Sestina,' the poem published in the early part of 1872, bears witness to this, as there are only two rhymes all through it.
Subsequently to the publication of 'Atalanta in Calydon,' Mr. Swinburne produced (in 1865) 'Poems and Ballads.' However beautiful many of the poems in this volume were, their charm was destroyed by others which were neither wholesome nor good.
Of late, Mr. Swinburne has turned over a new leaf, and all his recently published verses are as unobjectionable in matter as they are poetic in inspiration and finished in execution. Whatever else may be urged against Mr. Swinburne's writings, it can never be denied that they are the productions of a true poet.
A TRUE POET.

# Cards spiritualized, or, The pack of cards transformed into a Bible, almanack, and prayer-book/Mr Dodd's Sermon on Malt

Mr Dodd's curious Sermon on MALT.
Dearly beloved,
LET me crave your serious attention, for I am a little man come at a short warning, to preach a brief sermon to a thin audience, in an unworthy pulpit. Now beloved my tex is MALT; which I cannot divide into sentences, because it contains none, nor yet into words, it being but one nor into syllables, for it is upon the whole but one monosyllable: I must therefore, and necessity obliges me, divide into letters, which I find in my text to be four only, viz M, A, L, T. M, my beloved, is Moral; A is Allegorical; L is Literal; T is Theological The Moral is well set to teach you drunkards good manners; therefore, M, my Masters; A, All of you ​L, Listen; T, to my Text. The Allegorical, that is when one thing is spoke of, and another thing meant. Now the thing spoken of is Malt; but the thing meant is the oil of Malt, or what is vulgarly called strong beer; which ye drunkards make, M, Meat; A, Apparel; L Liberty; T, Treasure The Literal is according to the Letter, M, Much; A, Ale; L, Little; T, Thrift. Much ale, little thrist The Theological is according to the effects it produceth; which I find in my text to be of two kinds: first in this world; secondly, in the world to come. First, in this world, the effects are, in some, M, Murder; in others, A, Adultery; in all, L, Looseness of Life; and, in many, T, Treason. Secondly, in the world to come, the effects are, in some, M, Misery; in others, A, Anguish; in some, L, Lamentation; and, in all, T, Torment.
Wherefore, my first use shall be exhortation, I say, M, my Masters; A, All of you; L, Leave off your, T, Tipling; or, secondly, by way of denunciation, I say, M, my Masters; A, All of you; L, Look for; T, Torment So much for this time on my text, only by way of conviction, take this: all drunkards are the annoyance of modesty, the trouble of civility, the pests of society, the spoil of wealth, the destruction of reason, the brewer’s agents, the alehouse’s benefactors, their wives’ sorrow, their children’s shame, the beggar’s companions the constable’s trouble, their neighbour’s laughing stock, walking swill-tubs, the devil’s vassals, pictures of beasts, and monsters of men.
Say well and do well, ends both with a letter, Say well is good, but do well is better.

# Care

Should the lone wanderer, fainting on his way, Rest for a moment of the sultry hours And though his path through thorns and roughness lay, Pluck the wild rose or woodbine's gadding flowers; Weaving gay wreaths beneath some sheltering tree, The sense of sorrow he awhile may lose; So have l sought thy flowers, fair poesy So charmed my way with friendship and the muse.
But darker now grows life's unhappy day, Dark with new clouds of evil yet to come: Her pencil sickening fancy throws away And weary hope reclines upon the tomb; And points my wishes to that tranquil shore Where the pale spectre care pursues no more.

# Cardwell v. Americal River Bridge Company

* related portals: Supreme Court of the United States.

United States Supreme Court
113 U.S. 205
Cardwell v. Americal River Bridge Company
The American river is a branch of the Sacramento river in California. It is entirely within the state, and navigable for small steam-boats and barges from its mouth to the town of Folsom, a distance of 30 miles. By its junction with the Sacramento river, vessels starting upon it can proceed to the bay of San Francisco, and thence to adjoining states and foreign countries. It is therefore a navigable water of the United States, and, as such, is under the control of the general government in the exercise of its power to regulate foreign and interstate commerce, so far as may be necessary to insure its free navigation.
The defendant is a corporation organized under the laws of California, and, pursuant to the authority conferred by an act of its legislature, has constructed a bridge over the American river, of 20 feet in width and 300 feet in length, which is used as a roadway, across the stream. Its floor is about 14 feet above extreme low water, and about 5 feet above extreme high water; and the bridge is without a draw or opening for the passage of vessels. Steam-boats and other craft are therefore obstructed by it in the navigation of the river.
The complainant alleges that he is the owner of a large tract of land, bordering on the river, below Folsom, and raises many tons of grain each year; that he is also the owner of a steam-boat and other vessels by which he could ship his grain down the river but for the obstruction caused by the bridge; that there are also large quarries of granite on his land sufficient to supply the markets of Sacramento and San Francisco for years, and also large deposits of cobble-stone which have a value for paving, and, but for the obstruction, he could ship the granite and cobble-stone by his vessels and sell them at a profit, whereas the expense of sending them by rail or other means open to him are such as to deprive him of all profit on them. He therefore files his bill against the company, and prays that it may be enjoined from maintaining the bridge across the river until a draw shall have been placed in it sufficient to allow steam-boats, vessles, and water-craft, capable of navigating the stream, to pass and repass, freely and safely. A demurrer to the bill was sustained, and the bill dismissed, and the case is brought here on appeal.

# Catholic Encyclopedia (1913)/Belfry

From volume 2 of the work.
The upper part of the tower or steeple of a church, for the reception of the bells; or a detached tower containing bells, as the campanile of the Italians. The term is sometimes applied to the timber frame by which the bells are supported; also to the room or loft in the tower of a church, from which the bells are rung. Originally it denoted a tower in which sentinels were placed to ring bells and thus give notice of the approach of the enemy, or a tower used in besieging a fortified place; it was of wood and movable. In England the bell-tower usually forms a part of the church, but it is sometimes detached from it, as at Evesham, Worcestershire, and Berkeley, Gloucestershire; Chichester cathedral, Sussex, etc. At Pembridge, in Herefordshire, there is a detached belfry built entirely of wood, the frame in which the bells are hung arising from the ground, with merely a casing of boards.
In Belgium, one of the earliest architectural expressions of the newly acquired independence (12th century) was the erection of a belfry. The right of possessing a bell was one of the first privileges in all old charters, not only as a symbol of power, but as a means of calling the community together. The tower, too, in which the bell was hung was a symbol of power in the Middle Ages; the first care of every enfranchised community was to erect a "tower of pride" proportionate to its importance. The tower was generally the record-office of the city. All these uses have passed away, and most of the belfries have either fallen into neglect or been appropriated to other purposes. Of those remaining the oldest seems to be that of Tournay, a fine tower, though it is a good deal altered and its effect destroyed by modern additions. The belfry at Ghent was commenced in 1183, but the stonework was only completed in 1337. In 1376 a wooden spire was placed upon it, making the height 237 feet. This spire was recently taken down in order to complete the tower according to the original design, which, like that of most of the unfinished buildings of Belgium has been carefully preserved. When finished it will be about 300 feet in height, and one of the finest belfries in the country.
