The author is probably William Edward Maxwell

## ANTIQUITIES OF PROVINCE WELLESLEY.

Col. James Low, who was for many years Superintendent in charge of Province Wellesley, makes the following reference to this subject in his "Dissertation on the soil and agriculture of Penang and Province Wellesley," published in Singapore in 1836.
"While employed several years ago in exploring the ruins of an ancient Boudhist temple in Province Wellesley,—an account of which I have promised to the Asiatic Society of Calcutta—I obtained a small coffee-pot which had been carefully built up with bricks at the depth of four or five feet. The lid was firmly baked, but on being handled, the vessel crumbled, nearly to pieces—within it was found the figure of a fowl constructed of thin silver wire, which also fell to pieces on being handled. But the bill and feet were perfect, bring made of an alloyed metal, chiefly gold."
The writer gives no clue as to the whereabouts of this ancient Buddhist temple, but I imagine it to have been one of those singular mounds of shells which are to be met with in the north of Province Wellesley not far from the Muda river. They are composed of sea-shells of the kind called kepah and karang (cockles) by the Malays, though they are situated at some distance from the sea. No other shells of the kind are to be found near the place, I believe. I have been told by Malays in Province Wellesley that one of these mounds was opened and explored by Col. Low. If the others, left perfect by him, have escaped destruction at the hands of Chinese limeburners, they will probably be worth examination and description. "Goa kepah" (shell-cave), a place in the neighbourhood, no doubt takes its name from these mounds. I do not know if Col. Low carried out his intention of describing the results of his exploration. I have searched through the only volumes of the proceedings of the Asiatic Society of Calcutta to which I have access (vols. I, II and III.), but I have found no paper on the subject.
At the foot of Bukit Mertajam, on the South side, there is a block of granite on which some rude characters have been traced. The Malays call it batu surat, the rock of the writing. I believe that the inscription has never been deciphered and that the character has not been identified. When I saw it last (in 1874), it was difficult in places to detect the ancient inscription on the rugged face of the rock, its faint lines contrasting strangely with the deeply-ent initials of Col. Low on the same boulder.

SKETCH.
The warrior went forth in the morning light,— Waved like a meteor his plume of white, Scarce might his gauntleted hand restrain The steed that snorted beneath the rein; Yet curbed he its pride, for upon him there Gazed the dark eye of his ladye fair. She stood on the tower to watch him ride,— The maiden whose hand on his bosom had tied The scarf she had worked,—she saw him depart With a tearless eye, though a beating heart; But when the knight of her love was gone, She went to her bower to weep alone. The warrior past,—but first he took At the castle-wall one parting look, And thought of the evening when he should bring His ladye his battle offering; Then like a thought he dashed o'er the plain, And with banner and brand came his vassal train. It was a thrilling sound to hear The bugle's welcome of warlike cheer; It was a thrilling sight to see The ranks of that gallant company: Many were there stately and tall, But Edith's knight was the first of all.— —The day is past, and the moonbeams weep O'er the many that rest in their last cold sleep; Near to the gashed and the nerveless hand Is the pointless spear and the broken brand; The archer lies like an arrow spent, His shafts all loose and his bow unbent; Many a white plume torn and red, Bright curls rent from the graceful head, Helmet and breast-plate scattered around, Lie a fearful show on the well-fought ground;
While the crow and the raven flock overhead To feed on the hearts of the helpless dead, Save when scared by the glaring eye Of some wretch in his last death agony.—  Lighted up is that castle wall, And twenty harpers wait in the hall; On the board is mantling the purple wine, And wreaths of white flowers the maidens twine; For distant and faint is heard the swell Of bugles and voices from yonder dell,— The victors are coming: And by the tower Had Edith watched for the midnight hour.  Oh, that lone sickness of the heart, Which bids the weary moments depart, Yet dreads their departing; the cross she held fast, And kissed off the tears—they are come at last! But has not the bugle a plaining wail, As the notes of its sadness come on the gale? Why comes there no shout of the victors' pride, As red from the battle they homewards ride? Yet high o'er their ranks is their white banner borne, While beneath droops the foeman's, blood-stained and torn. Said not that young Warrior thus it should be When he talked to his Edith of victory? Yet, Maiden, weep o'er thy loneliness, Is not yon dark horse riderless? She flew to the gate,—she stood there alone,— Where was he who to meet her had flown? The dirge grew plain as the troop came near,— They bear the young Chieftain cold on his bier!

SONG.
Yes, still truly thine! Ah, they never Love knew
Who drew him with wings of the Iris' hue;
Love is still the same, changeless, 'mid smiles and 'mid tears,
The anchor for hope, and the shelter for fears.
Thy fate may be darkness,—I ask but to share
The sting of each sorrow, the cloud of each care;
Thy brow may be sad, but the shade there will be
More dear than the smile of another to me.
They bid me fly from thee, and say that thy love
Is like the false fetters they throw round the dove;
But the chain thou hast linked is more precious to me Than liberty, if it divides me from thee.
Howe'er rough thy path, that path I can bear,—
A dungeon were brightness if thou too wert there;
Like oil to the lamp is thy love to my heart,—
’Tis life to be near thee, and death if we part!

‘Twas sweet to look upon thine eyes,
 As they looked answering to mine own;
'Twas sweet to listen to thy sighs,
 And hear my name on every tone,
'Twas sweet to meet in yon lone glen
 While smiles the heart's best sunshine shed;
Twas sweet to part and think again
 The gentle things that each had said.
But all this sweetness was not worth
 The tears that dimm'd its after light,—
Love is a sweet star at its birth,
 But one that sets in deepest night.—L. E. L.

Air,—Tam Glen.
My heart is not light as when first, love,
 That fond heart confided to thee,
The passion-flowers which thou hast nurst, love,
 Are flowers of sadness to me.
Thou hast been to me as the spring gale, love,
 That wooes the young bloom to unfold;
But when once its caresses prevail, love,
 The warm sigh it breathed will grow cold.
Alas, when the heart is once won, love,
 It is not held dear as before;
When the race has in triumph been run, love,
 The prize is thought precious no more.
Farewell! thou hast trifled with me, love,
 Yet for thee is my very last sigh;
She who trusted so fearless to thee, love,
 Can but weep o'er thy falsehood, and die.

MY HARP!
Come, gentle harp, and let me hold
 Communion with thy melody,
And be my tale of sorrow told
 To thee, my harp, and only thee.
There are who marvel I should twine
 My wreath of flowers, whose bloom is gone;
And wonder hand so light as mine
 Should linger but on sorrow's tone.
They say that life, to one so young,
 Must be a sweet and sunny view;
They know not how my soul has clung
 To hope, and found that hope untrue;
They know not that a smile for me
 Is but the feigning masquer's art,—
That each low note I draw from thee
 Is the sad echo of my heart.

SONGS OF LOVE.
Farewell, farewell! Of this be sure,
 Since thou art false to me,
For all the world I'd not endure
 What I have felt for thee.
Oh never may I feel again
 What once I felt for thee, love;
Never will thou be dear again
 As once thou wert to me, love.
There was a time when not a shade
 Could rest on aught about thee;
Now the young heart thou hast betrayed,
 Alas has learnt to doubt thee.
I will not bid thee call to mind
 The sweet hopes thou hast banished,—
Why should the lamp remain behind
 When the flame it fed has vanished?
Why should I picture to thy view
 The feelings thou hast blighted?
Or bid thee think how fond, how true
 The bosom thou hast slighted?
As the poor bird is left to pine
 We once could fondly cherish, So when my heart replied to thine,
 'Twas coldly left to perish.
Go, false one! bask in other eyes,
 Some one may then deceive thee,
And thou wilt know the tears, the sighs,
 That come when fond dreams leave thee.
Farewell! each sweet link of the heart
 Thy falsehood now must sever;
Go! cruel, faithless as thou art,—
 Farewell, farewell for ever!

ORIGINAL POETRY. EXTRACTS FROM MY POCKET BOOK. SONG.
Oh do not talk to me of love,
 'Tis deepest cruelty to me;
Why throw a net around the bird
 That might be happy, light and free.
It may be sport to win a heart,
 Then leave that heart to pine and die;
The vows which now my bosom rend
 May not cost you one single sigh.
The love which is as life to me,
 Is but a simple toy to you;
The falsehood at which you but smile
 Is death to one so fond, so true.
Then do not talk to me of love,
 My heart is far too warm for thine;
Go, and 'mid pleasure's lights and smiles,
 Heed not what clouds and tears are mine.

Air,— Here’s health to ane I loo dear.
Farewell to my first dream of love,
 The bark of hope is wrecked:
Twas hard in its first upswinging
 The young bird's flight should be checked,
But, Allan, thou art faithless to me,
 But, Allan, thou art faithless to me;
The peace of that heart for ever is lost
 That dares confide in thee, Allan,
Thy love's the false ore that glistens
 In the deceiving mine,—
The treasures we find are but dross
 When the search is in hearts like thine, Allan.
I’ll trust the winds in their anger,
 I'll trust the dark rolling sea,—
And hope for repose and shelter,
 Ere I’ll put faith In thee, Allan.

Literary Gazette, 15th March 1823, Page 171 (cont.)
Portrait of a Girl, in the British Gallery, by T. Stewardson.
I do but give faint utterance to the thoughts
That curled her coral lip, and filled her eyes With laughing malice.
In truth, dear Love, 'twas a fitting gift
 The gift which you gave to me:
A spring-flower wreath, whose short sweet life
 Is like love's life with thee.
You are a gay and a gallant love,
 The wooer that woman likes best,
With a heart that roves like that eastern bird
 Whose pinions are never at rest.
Never was lover more suited to me;
 My heart is yet lighter than thine;
Did it change like the vane with each wind that blows,  It could not change oftener than mine.
Some Cupids have wings of the butterfly's plume,
 While some have the wings of the dove;
The first is the Cupid most fitting for me—
 I could not wear the willow for love.
I care not for falsehood, I can be false too;
 Lose one love, there are others in plenty;
And if that my lover should dare break one vow,
 To punish him I can break twenty. L. E. L.

VOCABULARY REVIEW • THE SUBJUNCTIVE IN INDIRECT QUESTIONS
429. Review the word lists in §§ 517, 518.
430. When we report a statement instead of giving it directly, we have an indirect statement. (Cf. § 414.) So, if we report a question instead of asking it directly, we have an indirect question.
| Direct Question | Indirect Question |
| Who conquered the Gauls? | He asked who conquered the Gauls |
a. An indirect question depends, usually as object, upon a verb of asking (as petō, postulō, quaerō, rogō) or upon some verb or expression of saying or mental action. (Cf. § 420.)
431. Compare the following direct and indirect questions:
| Ubī est Rōma? Where is Rome? | a. | Rogat ubi sit Rōma He asks where Rome is |
| Ubī est Rōma? Where is Rome? | b. | Rogāvit ubi esset Rōma He asked where Rome was |
| Caesarne Gallōs vīcit? Did Cæsar conquer the Gauls? | a. | Rogat num Caesar Gallōs vīcerit He asks whether Cæsar conquered the Gauls |
| Caesarne Gallōs vīcit? Did Cæsar conquer the Gauls? | b. | Rogāvit num Caesar Gallōs vīcisset He asked whether Cæsar had conquered the Gauls |
a. The verb in a direct question is in the indicative mood, but the mood is subjunctive in an indirect question.
b. The tense of the subjunctive follows the rules for tense sequence.
c. Indirect questions are introduced by the same interrogative words as introduce direct questions, excepting thatyes-or-no direct questions (cf. § 210) on becoming indirect are usually introduced by num, whether.
432. Rule. Indirect Questions. In an indirect question the verb is in the subjunctive and its tense is determined by the law for tense sequence.

VOCABULARY REVIEW • THE DATIVE OF PURPOSE, OR END FOR WHICH
435. Review the word lists in §§ 521, 522.
436. Observe the following sentences:
* Explōrātōrēs locum castrīs dēlēgērunt, the scouts chose a place for a camp.
* Hoc erat magnō impedīmentō Gallīs, this was (for) a great hindrance to the Gauls.
* Duās legiōnēs praesidiō castrīs relīquit, he left two legions as (lit. for) a guard to the camp.
In each of these sentences we find a dative expressing the purpose or end for which something is intended or for which it serves. These datives are castrīs, impedīmentō, and praesidiō. In the second and third sentences we find a second dative expressing the person or thing affected (Gallīs and castrīs). As you notice, these are true datives, covering the relations of for which and to which. (Cf. § 43.)
437. Rule. Dative of Purpose or End. The dative is used to denote the purpose or end for which, often with another dative denoting the person or thing affected.

REVIEW OF THE GERUND AND GERUNDIVE, THE INFINITIVE, AND THE SUBJUNCTIVE
455. The gerund is a verbal noun and is used only in the genitive, dative, accusative, and ablative singular. The constructions of these cases are I.general the same as those of other nouns (§§ 402; 406.1).
456. The gerundive is a verbal adjective and must be used instead of gerund + object, excepting in the genitive and in the ablative without a preposition. Even in these instances the gerundive construction is more usual (§ 406.2).
457. The infinitive is used: I.As in English.
a. As subject or predicate nominative (§ 216).
b. To complete the predicate with verbs of incomplete predication (complementary infinitive) (§ 215).
c. As object with subject accusative after verbs of wishing, commanding, forbidding, and the like (§ 213). ​II. In the principal sentence of an indirect statement after verbs of saying and mental action. The subject is in the accusative (§§ 416, 418, >419).
458. The subjunctive is used:
* To denote purpose (§§ 349, 366, 372).
* To denote consequence or result (§§ 385, 386).
* In relative clauses of characteristic or description (§ 390).
* In cum clauses of time, cause, and concession (§ 396).
* In indirect questions (§ 432).
