CHAPTER I.
Preparations for a Voyage down the Indus.
Alexander now resolved to sail down the Hydaspes to the Great Sea, after he had prepared on the banks of that river many thirty-oared galleys and others with one and a half bank of oars, as well as a number of vessels for conveying horses, and all the other things requisite for the easy conveyance of an army on a river. At first he thought he had discovered the origin of the Nile, when he saw crocodiles in the river Indus, which he had seen in no other river except the Nile, as well as beans growing near the banks of the Acesines of the same kind as those which the Egyptian land produces. This conjecture was confirmed when he heard that the Acesines falls into the Indus. He thought the Nile rises somewhere or other in India, and after flowing through an extensive tract of desert country loses the name of Indus there; but afterwards when it begins to flow again through the inhabited land, it is called Nile both by the Aethiopians of that district and by the Egyptians, and ​finally empties itself into the Inner Sea. In like manner Homer made the river Egypt give its name to the country of Egypt. Accordingly when he wrote to Olympias about the country of India, after mentioning other things, he said that he thought he had discovered the sources of the Nile, forming his conclusions about things so great from such small and trivial premisses. However, when he had made a more careful inquiry into the facts relating to the river Indus, he learned the following details from the natives: — That the Hydaspes unites its water with the Acesines, as the latter does with the Indus, and that they both yield up their names to the Indus; that the last-named river has two mouths, through which it discharges itself into the Great Sea; but that it has no connection with the Egyptian country. He then removed from the letter to his mother the part he had written about the Nile. Planning a voyage down the rivers as far as the Great Sea, he ordered ships for this purpose to be prepared for him. The crews of his ships were fully supplied from the Phoenicians, Cyprians, Carians, and Egyptians who accompanied the army.
* ↑ Herodotus (iv. 44) says that the Indus is the only river besides the Nile which produces crocodiles. He does not seem to have known the Ganges.
* ↑ This was the Nelumbium speciosum, the Egyptian bean of Pythagoras the Lotus of the Hindus, held sacred by them. It is cultivated and highly valued in China, where it is eaten. The seeds are the shape and size of acorns.
* ↑ I.e. the Mediterranean.
* ↑ See Arrian, v. 6 supra. The native name of Egypt was Chem (black). Compare Vergil (Georgic. iv. 291):— Viridem Aegyptum nigrâ, fecundat arenfâ. Usque ooloratis amnis devexus ab Indis.
* ↑ This use of αμφί with the dative is instead of the Attic περί with the genitive or accusative.

CHAPTER XXIX.
Alexander Recrosses the Hydraotes and Acesines.
Then they shouted as a mixed multitude would shout when rejoicing; and most of them shed tears of joy. ​Some of them even approached the royal tent, and prayed for many blessings upon Alexander; because by them alone he suffered himself to be conquered. Then he divided the army into brigades, and ordered twelve altars to be prepared, equal in height to very large towers, and in breadth much larger than towers, to serve as thank-offerings to the gods who had led him so far as a conqueror, and also to serve as monuments of his own labours. When the altars were completed, he offered sacrifice upon them according to his custom, and celebrated a gymnastic and equestrian contest. After adding the country as far as the river Hyphasis to the dominion of Porus, he marched back to the Hydraotes. Having crossed this river, he continued his return march to the Acesines, where he found the city which Hephaestion had been ordered to fortify, quite built. In this city he settled as many of the neighbouring people as volunteered to live in it, as well as those of the Grecian mercenaries who were now unfit for military service; and then began to make the necessary preparations for a voyage down the river into the Great Sea. At this time Arsaces, the ruler of the land bordering on that of Abisares, and the brother of the latter, with his other relations, came to Alexander, bringing the gifts which are reckoned most valuable among the Indians, including some elephants from Abisares, thirty in number. They declared that Abisares himself was unable to come on account of illness; and with these men the ambassadors sent by Alexander to Abisares agreed. Readily believing that such was the case, he granted that prince the privilege of ruling his own country as his viceroy, and placed Arsaces also under his power. After arranging what tribute they were ​to pay, lie again offered sacrifice near the river Acesines. He then crossed that river again, and came to the Hydaspes, where he employed the army in repairing the damage caused to the cities of Nicaea and Bucephala by the rain, and put the other affairs of the country in order.

CHAPTER XXVIII.
Alexander Resolves to Return.
When Coenus had concluded this speech, loud applause was given to his words by those who were present; and the fact that many even shed tears, made it still more ​evident that they were disinclined to incur further hazards, and that return would be delightful to them. Alexander then broke up the conference, being annoyed at the freedom of speech in which Coenus indulged, and the hesitation displayed by the other officers. But the next day he called the same men together again in wrath, and told them that he intended to advance farther, but would not force any Macedonian to accompany him against his will; that he would have those only who followed their king of their own accord; and that those who wished to return home were at liberty to return and carry back word to their relations that they were come back, having deserted their king in the midst of his enemies. Having said this, he retired into his tent, and did not admit any of the Companions on that day, or until the third day from that, waiting to see if any change would occur in the minds of the Macedonians and Grecian allies, as is wont to happen as a general rule among a crowd of soldiers, rendering them more disposed to obey. But on the contrary, when there was a profound silence throughout the camp, and the soldiers were evidently annoyed at his wrath, without being at all changed by it, Ptolemy, son of Lagus, says that he none the less offered

# Tales of a Wayside Inn/Part Third/The Student's Tale/Interlude

Thus ran the Student's pleasant rhyme: Of Eginhard and love and youth; Some doubted its historic truth, But while they doubted, ne'ertheless Saw in it gleams of truthfulness, And thanked the Monk of Lauresheim.
This they discussed in various mood; Then in the silence that ensued Was heard a sharp and sudden sound As of a bowstring snapped in air; And the Musician with a bound Sprang up in terror from his chair, And for a moment listening stood, Then strode across the room, and found His dear, his darling violin Still lying safe asleep within Its little cradle, like a child That gives a sudden cry of pain, And wakes to fall asleep again; And as he looked at it and smiled, By the uncertain light beguiled, Despair! two strings were broken in twain.
While all lamented and made moan, With many a sympathetic word As if the loss had been their own, Deeming the tones they might have heard Sweeter than they had heard before, They saw the Landlord at the door, The missing man, the portly Squire! He had not entered, but he stood With both arms full of seasoned wood, To feed the much-devouring fire, That like a lion in a cage Lashed its long tail and roared with rage.
The missing man! Ah, yes, they said, Missing, but whither had he fled? Where had he hidden himself away? No farther than the barn or shed; He had not hidden himself, nor fled; How should he pass the rainy day But in his barn with hens and hay, Or mending harness, cart, or sled? Now, having come, he needs must stay And tell his tale as well as they.
The Landlord answered only: "These Are logs from the dead apple-trees Of the old orchard planted here By the first Howe of Sudbury. Nor oak nor maple has so clear A flame, or burns so quietly, Or leaves an ash so clean and white"; Thinking by this to put aside The impending tale that terrified; When suddenly, to his delight, The Theologian interposed, Saying that when the door was closed, And they had stopped that draft of cold, Unpleasant night air, he proposed To tell a tale world-wide apart From that the Student had just told; World-wide apart, and yet akin, As showing that the human heart Beats on forever as of old, As well beneath the snow-white fold Of Quaker kerchief, as within Sendal or silk or cloth of gold, And without preface would begin.
And then the clamorous clock struck eight, Deliberate, with sonorous chime Slow measuring out the march of time, Like some grave Consul of old Rome In Jupiter's temple driving home The nails that marked the year and date. Thus interrupted in his rhyme, The Theologian needs must wait; But quoted Horace, where he sings The dire Necessity of things, That drives into the roofs sublime Of new-built houses of the great The adamantine nails of Fate.
When ceased the little carillon To herald from its wooden tower The important transit of the hour, The Theologian hastened on, Content to be all owed at last To sing his Idyl of the Past.
# Tales of instruction: in verse and prose/The Father and Jupiter

The FATHER & JUPITER, a Fable.
Know then this Truth, (enough for Man to know) VIRTUE alone is happineſs below.
THE man to Jove his ſuit preferr'd; He begg'd a wife; his prayer was heard, Jove wonder'd at his bold addreſſing, For how precarious is the bleſſing! A wife he takes.And now for heirs Again he worries heaven with prayers. Jove nods aſſent.Two hopeful boys And a fine girl reward his joys. Now more ſolicitous he grew, And ſet their future lives in view; He ſaw that all reſpect and duty Were paid to wealth, to pow'r and beauty.
Once more, he cries, accept my prayer. Make my lov'd progeny thy care: Let my firſt hope, my fav’rite boy, All fortune's richeſt gift's enjoy. My next with ſtrong ambition fire, May favour teach him to aſpire, 'Till he the ſtep of power aſcend, And courtiers to their idol bend. With ev'ry grace, with every charm, My daughter's perfect features arm. If Heav'n approve, a father's bleft, Jove ſmiles, and grants his full requeſt.
​The firſt, a miſer at the heart, Studious of ev'ry griping art, Heaps hoards on hoards with anxious pain, And all his life devotes to gain. He feels no joy, his cares increaſe, He neither wakes nor fleeps in peace, In fancy'd want, (a wretch complete) He ſtarves, and yet he dares not eat.
The next to ſudden honours grew, The thriving art of courts he knew; He reach'd the height of power and place, Then fell the victim of diſgrace.
Beauty with early bloom ſupplies His daughter's cheek, and points her eyes; The vain coquette each ſuit diſdains, And glories in her lover's pains. With age ſhe fades, each lover flies, Contemn’d, forlorn, ſhe pines and dies,
When Jove the father's grief ſurvey'd, And heard him heaven and fate upbraid, Thus ſpoke the God.By outward ſhow Men judge of happineſs and woe; Shall ignorance of good and ill Dare to direct th' eternal will? Seek virtue; and of that poſſeſt, To providence reſign the reſt.

# Tales of a Wayside Inn/Part Third/The Theologian's Tale/Interlude

"A pleasant and a winsome tale,": The Student said, "though somewhat pale And quiet in its coloring, As if it caught its tone and air From the gray suits that Quakers wear; Yet worthy of some German bard, Hebel, or Voss, or Eberhard, Who love of humble themes to sing, In humble verse; but no more true Than was the tale I told to you."
The Theologian made reply, And with some warmth, "That I deny; 'T is no invention of my own, But something well and widely known To readers of a riper age, Writ by the skilful hand that wrote The Indian tale of Hobomok, And Philothea's classic page. I found it like a waif afloat Or dulse uprooted from its rock, On the swift tides that ebb and flow In daily papers, and at flood Bear freighted vessels to and fro, But later, when the ebb is low, Leave a long waste of sand and mud."
"It matters little," quoth the Jew; "The cloak of truth is lined with lies, Sayeth some proverb old and wise; And Love is master of all arts, And puts it into human hearts The strangest things to say and do."
And here the controversy closed Abruptly, ere 't was well begun; For the Sicilian interposed With, "Lordlings, listen, every one That listen may, unto a tale That 's merrier than the nightingale; A tale that cannot boast, forsooth, A single rag or shred of truth; That does not leave the mind in doubt As to the with it or without; A naked falsehood and absurd As mortal ever told or heard. Therefore I tell it; or, maybe, Simply because it pleases me."

A Parable against PERSECUTION.
Let not this weak unknowing hand Preſume thy bolts to throw, And deal damnation round the land, On each I judge thy foe.
AND it came to paſs after thefe things, that Abraham ſat in the door of his tent, about the going down of the ſun. And behold a man bent with age, coming from the way of the wilderneſs leaning on a ſtaff. And Abraham aroſe, and met him, and ſaid unto him, Turn in, I pray thee, and wash thy feet, and tarry all night; and thou ſhalt ariſe early in the morning and go on thy way. And the man ſaid, Nay; for I will abide under this tree. But Abraham preſſed him greatly: ſo he turned, and they went into the tent: and Abraham baked unleavened bread, and they did eat. And when Abraham ſaw that the man bleſſed not God, he ſaid unto him, Wherefore doſt thou not worſhip the moſt high God, Creator of heaven and earth? And the man anſwered and faid, I do not worſhip thy God, neither do I call upon his name; for I have made to myſelf a god, which abideth always in my houſe, and provideth me with all things. And Abraham's zeal was kindled againſt the man; and he aroſe and fell upon him, and drove him forth with blows into the wilderneſs. And God called unto Abraham, ſaying, Abraham, where is the ​⟨stranger?⟩ And Abraham anſwered and ſaid, ⟨Lord⟩, he would not worſhip thee, neither ⟨would⟩ he call upon thy name; therefore have ⟨I⟩ driven him out from before my face into ⟨the⟩ wilderneſs. And God ſaid, Have I borne ⟨with⟩ him theſe hundred and ninety and eight ⟨years⟩, and nouriſhed him, and clothed him, ⟨notwithſtanding⟩ his rebellion againſt me; ⟨and⟩ couldſt not thou, who art thyſelf a ⟨ſinner⟩, bear with him one night?

# The Adventures of Pinocchio (1904)/Chapter 6

It was a horrible night. It thundered very heavily and it lightened as if the heavens would take fire, while an ugly wind whistled savagely and raised an immense cloud of dust.
Pinocchio was afraid of thunder and lightning, but his hunger was greater than his fear. In a few hundred jumps he arrived at the edge of the town, out of breath, with his tongue hanging out on his chin, just like a hunting dog. But he found the town all dark and deserted. The stores were closed; the doors of the houses were shut and the windows were bolted; there was not even a dog in the streets; it appeared as if the town were dead.
Then Pinocchio despairingly pulled a doorbell of one of the houses and rang it with all his might, saying to himself, “Some one will come.”
Soon a cross old man with a nightcap on his head looked out of a window and cried: “What do you want at this hour?”
​“Will you please give me a little bread?”
“Wait there, and I will return immediately,” replied the old man, believing that he had to deal with some of the bad boys who go around at night worrying people by ringing their bells. After half a minute the window opened again and the same old man said to Pinocchio, “Come under the window and hold your hat.”
Pinocchio, who had not yet a hat, approached and was nearly drowned by a great deluge of water that the old man poured down on him from a large bucket.
He returned home like a drowned rat, weak from hunger and tired out; and because he had not enough strength to stand upright, he fell into a chair and rested his feet on the stove that was filled with burning shavings, and fell asleep. But while he slept, his feet, which were of wood, took fire and slowly became cinders. But Pinocchio snored away just as if his feet belonged to some one else.
He was awakened the next morning by some one who had knocked at the door.
“Who is there?” he asked, yawning and rubbing his eyes.
“It is I,” replied a voice.
That voice was the voice of Geppetto.

ALL'S WELL.
Sweet-voicèd Hope, thy fine discourse Foretold not half life's good to me; Thy painter, Fancy, hath not force To show how sweet it is to be! Thy witching dream And pictured scheme To match the fact still want the power; Thy promise brave From birth to grave Life's boon may beggar in an hour ​Ask and receive,—'tis sweetly said; Yet what to plead for know I not; For Wish is worsted, Hope o'ersped, And aye to thanks returns my thought. If I would pray, I've nought to say But this, that God may be God still; For Him to live Is still to give, And sweeter than my wish his will.
O wealth of life beyond all bound! Eternity each moment given! What plummet may the Present sound? Who promises a future heaven? Or glad, or grieved, Oppressed, relieved, In blackest night, or brightest day, Still pours the flood Of golden good, And more than heartfull fills me aye.
My wealth is common; I possess No petty province, but the whole; What's mine alone is mine far less Than treasure shared by every soul. Talk not of store, Millions or more,— Of values which the purse may hold,— But this divine! I own the mine Whose grains outweigh a planet's gold.
I have a stake in every star, In every beam that fills the day; All hearts of men my coffers are, My ores arterial tides convey; The fields, the skies, And sweet replies Of thought to thought are my gold-dust,— The oaks, the brooks, And speaking looks Of lovers' faith and friendship's trust.
Life's youngest tides joy-brimming flow For him who lives above all years, Who all-immortal makes the Now, And is not ta'en in Time's arrears: His life's a hymn The seraphim Might hark to hear or help to sing, And to his soul
