# Lyra Davidica/The Complaint

The Complaint: Or, A Meditation for Noon.
To the Tune of, Awake my Soul.
1.
TEmptations Lord beset me round; No Place of Safety can be found: I shall a wretched Prey be made To ev'ry Lust without thy Aid.
2.
Tempted to Vanity by Dress; By Meat and Drink unto Excess. Want Anxious makes; Highminded Wealth; Disease Impatient, Wanton Health.
3.
My faithful Friends, whom most I Love, The worst of Thieves too often prove; Whilst I'm by them of Time depriv'd; Of Time, which ne'er can be retriev'd.
4.
And O yet worse, I'm rare at Rest From Wars and Conflicts in my Breast. Passion my Reason doth Invade; Reason my Faith doth Captive lead.
5.
The Good I would I oft omit; The Ill would not I commit. What in the Spirit I begin The Flesh constrains to end in Sin.
6.
After my Washing I am Stain'd; After my Conquests I am Maim'd; After Repentance Fall again; When Life's renew'd by Sin I'm slain.
7.
Soon my Devotion lags and tires, But rarely sensual Joy expires. My Vows I break; to Sin I'm bent, Tho' checkt with fear of Punishment.
8.
Ill Thoughts within my Bosom dwell; The Tongue's oft set on Fire of Hell: Seated between my Brain and Heart Both unto it ill Words impart.
9.
In this sad plight where shall I go? There's none but God can ease my Woe. His Spirit alone can guide my way; Without Him I shall ever stray.
10.
Lord, Pardon will do little good; Or ev'n thy Son's Balsamick Blood; Unless thy Spirit set me free From Sins dark Power and Slavery.
11.
Therefore make good thy Promise Lord; Thy Powerful Aid to me afford: That no Presumptuous Sin may Reign, Or ought my Innocency stain.
12.
My Appetites my Eye and Ear, My Passions anger, Hope and Fear, ​O let me watch continually, And check ev'n Lawful Liberty.
13.
Our Love, our Hope, our Faith, our Fear, The most degenerate Vices are, On Creatures plac'd, but on God set His Image in us they beget.
14.
O let my Tongue be always barr'd By Teeth and Lips that double Guard: My Words with Edge and Softness move; With pointed Truth, Foreclos'd by Love.
15.
May my chief study and delight Be in God's Word both Day and Night. Then from my God I nere shall swerve; Him ever Love, Him ever Serve.
16.
When his Blest Will's my daily Food, My daily Business doing Good, Blest shall I be whilst I have Breath, And Endless Happy after Death.
# Lyra Davidica/Martyrdom Revers'd

From Mundorum Explicatio, or the explanation of an Hieroglyphical Figure (1661), attributed to Samuel Pordage, but sometimes instead ascribed to his father John Pordage.
Martyrdom Revers'd or the Lover's flames.
Sacred flames of love divine In our hearts untainted shine Feed upon our souls and let
them to Love's burning stake be set O blest fires quickly come We're prepared for Martyrdom Blessed is the soul that dies thus to Love a Sacrifice.
2.
BLessed Jesus from thine Eye, Those thrice Sacred Flames did fly, Which now burn without controul As on the Tinder of our Soul. Blessed Fires, O consume What's prepard for Martyrdom. Blessed as the Soul that dies, Thus to Love a Sacrifice,
3.
The Etherial Flames that are Couched in the Welkin Fair; Those that crown the radiant Sun; And those that beautify the Moon, Are less fair than those that come Thus to Crown our Martyrdom. Blessed is the Soul that dies Loves unspotted Sacrifice.
4.
O how raging, yet how sweet Are those Sacred Fires, which greet Our dry Souls with flaming Kisses, Pains dispensing with our Blisses. But such Pains we wish to come, That bring us Crowns of Martyrdom. Blessed is the Soul that dies Thus to Love a Sacrifice
2.
O our Souls are all on Fire, We consume in our Desire We Desire what we Possess Water's but our Fires Increase: Those bright Fires which are come To crown our Souls with Martyrdom. Happy is the Soul that dies Loves All-willing-Sacrifice.
6.
O what lingring Death is this, Bliss inviting unto bliss. By those Tasts of Love are we But more Enamour'd of the Sea Of Abyssal Love, whence come The Flames that crown our Martyrdom. Happy is the Soul that dies Thus Loves daily Sacrifice.
7.
O what kind of Pain is this, Which is sweetest of all bliss Oh! tis Pain intolerable! Pleasure yet Unutterable Such are these blest Flames which come To crown us with Loves Martyrdom. Happy, happy Soul that dies. Thus Love's Living Sacrifice.
8.
O we cry we cannot bear Love's hot Flames, which domineer In our Souls, and yet had we Doom'd to Death far rather be, Than to lose those Flames that come To crown us with Loves Martyrdom O thrice happy Soul that dies Love's Eternal Sacrifice.
# Lyra Davidica/Spiritual Watchfulness

Spiritual Watchfulness. Mache dich meine Geist bereit.
O my Soul Wth prayers & cries Watch & ready make thee Lest approaching by Surprise th'evil time o'er Take thee. For a while
Satan's Wile hampers many Pious loost to tempt and try Us.
2.
FIrst take care thy self to rouse From Sin's Sleep enchanting; Torments great such heavy Brows Will not long be wanting. Least mishaps And Death traps Seize thee time mispending, Unawares Offending.
3.
Wake for Jesus otherwise Cannot thee Enlighten. Rouse thee e're the true Light flies Which thy Lamp should brighten. Grant he will Graces still; But bids us that have them Look to him that gave them.
4.
Watchful be left Satan's Craft Should surprise thee sleeping. Since his Darts more swift than shaft Fly the Winds out stripping. God let's all Such Saints fall, Into woes and weeping, Who are guardless sleeping.
5.
Lest the World should thee constrain, Watch with fear and trembling; Lest she to herself regain Thee by her dissembling. Strict Watch set; And ne'er let Treach'rous Conversation Int' Association.
6.
Also watch thy self within, Flesh and Spirit ever; Lest thro' Carelesness and Sin God withdraw his Favour. Mortal Dust's Full of Lnsts, Of it self short sighted, In its Pride delighted.
7.
But upon thy Watch Tow'r pray Taking no denyals, That the Lord would take away Sins which caule thy Tryals. Which depress And distress, And so sleepy make thee, That Death may o'er take thee.
8.
God will humbly be ador'd E'er he does Relieve us. With our Cries he'll be implor'd, That he may retreive us. Evermore By his Pow'r Conquer Sin and Evil, World, and Flesh, and Devil.
9.
All things must however turn To the best and ease us; If to him we pray and mourn Thro' his dear Son Jesus; For ye know He'll bestow On us Grace exceeding, Thro' Christ's Interceding.
​Still let's watch, and cry, and pray, And with hast prepare us; Else the Evil Time and Day Quickly will ensnare us. God's Just Doom Is e'en come To try ev'ry Creature; And Dissolve all Nature

# Lehnbeuter v. Holthaus/Opinion of the Court

* Court Documents
* Case Syllabus
* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
105 U.S. 94
Lehnbeuter v. Holthaus
A comparison of the drawing which is appended to patent No. 8814, with cut No. 34 of the Holthaus Circular, which it is admitted represents show-cases manufactured and sold by the defendants, during and since January, 1877, makes it clear that the latter is a servile copy of the former, excepting a slight inclination backwards, hardly perceptible to the naked eye, of the glass constituting the front of the elevated portions of the case. We think, therefore, that the infringement is clearly established.
The attempt to prove that the complainants were not the first inventors of the design covered by their letters-patent has entirely failed. The only evidence offered on this branch of the defence are the publications designated as Maws' Price Current and the Wiegal Catalogue. The first of these bears date in 1869, and the latter in 1872. After a careful search through both, we have been unable to find any design for a show-case which remotely resembles that described in the complainants' patent.
The design patented by the complainants differs essentially from any other which has been called to our attention. It is not covered by the other patents which are set out in the record. Whether it is more graceful or beautiful than older designs is not for us to decide. It is sufficient if it is new and useful.
The patent is prima facie evidence of both novelty and utility, and neither of these presumptions has been rebutted by the evidence. On the contrary, they are strengthened. No anticipation of the design is shown, although the attempt has been made to prove anticipation. The fact that it has been infringed by defendants, is sufficient to establish its utility, at least as against them. Whitney v. Mowry, 4 Fish. Pat. Rep. 207.
Our conclusion is that the complainants have a valid patent which the defendants have infringed. The decree of the Circuit Court dismissing their bill must, therefore, be reversed, and the cause remanded for further proceedings in conformity with this opinion; and it is
So ordered.
MR. JUSTICE GRAY did not sit in this case, nor take any part in deciding it.

* Opinion of the Court
United States Supreme Court
250 U.S. 195
Macleod v. New England Telephone & Telegraph Company
Argued: May 5 and 6, 1919. ---
The petitioners, composing the Public Utilities Commission of the state of Massachusetts, filed their bill against the respondent to compel it to enforce certain telephone rates for intrastate business established in conformity to the state law and to forbid the putting into effect of conflicting rates fixed by the Postmaster General in a schedule by him established and the enforcement of which he had ordered.
On the petition and answers the case was reserved for the consideration of the Supreme Judicial Court where it was finally decided. The court in a lucid opinion, speaking through Mr. Chief Justice Rugg, having after full consideration reached the conclusion that the Postmaster General was empowered by the law of the United States to fix the schedule of rates complained of and that the telephone company was authorized by such law to put in effect and enforce such rates even though in doing so the rate established by the Public Service Commission of the state was disregarded, held that the suit was virtually one against the United States which the court was without power to entertain and entered a decree of dismissal for want o jurisdiction. But the form of the decree thus entered affects in no way the control and decisive result, upon every issue in the case, of the ruling this day announced in the Dakota Central Telephone Case, 250 U.S. 163, 39 Sup. Ct. 507, 63 L. Ed. --. It follows, therefore, that in this case our decree must be and is one of affirmance.
Affirmed.
Mr. Justice BRANDEIS dissents.

# Letters Written during a Short Residence in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark/Letter XXV

There is a pretty little French theatre at Altona, and the actors are much superior to those I saw at Copenhagen. The theatres at Hamburg are not open yet, but will very shortly, when the shutting of the gates at seven o'clock forces the citizens to quit their country houses. But, respecting Hamburg, I shall not be able to obtain much more information, as I have determined to sail with the first fair wind for England.
The presence of the French army would have rendered my intended tour through Germany, in my way to Switzerland, almost impracticable, had not the advancing season obliged me to alter my plan. Besides, though Switzerland is the country which for several years I have been particularly desirous to visit, I do not feel inclined to ramble any farther this year; nay, I am weary of changing the scene, and quitting people and places the moment they begin to interest me. This also is vanity!
# Mahatma Gandhi, his life, writings and speeches/Speech at the Nellore Conference

REPLY TO NELLORE CONFERENCE
[Replying to a complimentary Resolution moved at the Madras Provincial Conference at Nellore, Mr. Gandhi said]:—
It was an accident that this Resolution followed on two Resolutions, one with reference to his revered master and the other with reference to the noble Viceroy to whom a fitting tribute had been paid by the President. He was there free to acknowledge the indebtedness of his countrymen in South Africa to the noble Viceroy. If his wife and he were worthy of anything that had been said on this platform and on many a platform, he had repeated, and he was there again to repeat, that they owed all to the inspiration they derived from Indian sources, for it was Mr. Gokhale, his love, and his message, that had been his guiding star, and would still remain his guiding star. He would appeal to them not to spoil him and his wife by taking away from the services they had to render by overpraising them. He would make this simple, ​but humble, appeal. Let what he and his wife had done in South Africa be buried there. Their countrymen in South Africa would know what had been done. It was impossible for any one, much less for them, to trade on any reputation made in South Africa. He feared that by overpraising them, they might raise enormous expectations about him and his wife that they might in the end, he would not say it was hardly likely, meet with disappointment.
# Mahatma Gandhi, his life, writings and speeches/Sir Henry Cotton

SIR HENRY COTTON
Sir. Henry Cotton said that they had met that afternoon to give a cordial send-off to one who had earned by the labours and self-sacrifice over a very long period of years the esteem of every Englishman. It only remained for them to wish Mr. Gandhi a favourable journey to his native land and to congratulate him upon the triumphs he had achieved. Nor did they forget Mrs. Gandhi—hear, hear—who had also suffered in the good cause. Those labours and those sacrifices were over. Mr. Gandhi had practically won the battle he had been fighting and was returning to India to resume as they all hoped, the practice of his profession under happier auspices than it had been his fate to enjoy in South Africa, and to meet the thousands of his countrymen by whom his name would never be forgotten. (Cheers).
# Mahatma Gandhi, his life, writings and speeches/Sir P. M. Mehta

By SIR P. M. MEHTA
Mr. Gandhi was a great believer in reason and in argument. He called him an unpractical man, and with all the admiration he had for Mr. Gandhi he disagreed with him on this point. He asked for too little (Laughter). If he had asked for the full rights of every Indian for access to the British dominions and had stuck to the full demand he might have got something, (Laughter). It was a great blunder, but it showed the reasonable character of the campaign led. by Mr. Gandhi. He was again at the old game. What was the result? No one would listen to him, and still Indians in South Africa were asked to practice moderation!
