THE QUESTION
And cherry-blossoms, and white cups, whose wine Was the bright dew, yet drained not by the day; 20 And wild roses, and ivy serpentine, With its dark buds and leaves, wandering astray; And flowers azure, black, and streaked with gold, Fairer than any wakened eyes behold.
IV.
There grew broad flag-flowers, purple pranked with white, And starry river buds among the sedge, And floating water-lilies, broad and bright, Which lit the oak that overhung the hedge With moonlight beams of their own watery light; 30 And bulrushes, and reeds of such deep green As soothed the dazzled eye with sober sheen.
V.
I made a nosegay, bound in such a way That the same hues, which in their natural bowers 35 Were mingled or opposed, the like array Kept these imprisoned children of the Hours Within my hand,—and then, elate and gay, I hastened to the spot whence I had come, That I might there present it!—Oh! to whom? 40

# The Complete Poetical Works of Percy Bysshe Shelley (ed. Hutchinson, 1914)/The Mask of Anarchy/Note by Mrs. Shelley

NOTE ON THE MASK OF ANARCHY, BY MRS. SHELLEY
Though Shelley's first eager desire to excite his countrymen to resist openly the oppressions existent during 'the good old times' had faded with early youth, still his warmest sympathies were for the people. He was a republican, and loved a democracy. He looked on all human beings as inheriting an equal right to possess the dearest privileges of our nature; the necessaries of life when fairly earned by labour, and intellectual instruction. His hatred of any despotism that looked upon the people as not to be consulted, or protected from want and ignorance, was intense. He was residing near Leghorn, at Villa Valsovano, writing The Cenci, when the news of the Manchester Massacre reached us; it roused in him violent emotions of indignation and compassion. The great truth that the many, if accordant and resolute, could control the few, as was shown some years after, made him long to teach his injured countrymen how to resist. Inspired by these feelings, he wrote the Mask of Anarchy, which he sent to his friend Leigh Hunt, to be inserted in the Examiner, of which he was then the Editor.
'I did not insert it,' Leigh Hunt writes in his valuable and interesting preface to this poem, when he printed it in 1832, 'because I thought that the public at large had not become sufficiently discerning to do justice to the sincerity and kind-heartedness of the spirit that walked in this flaming robe of verse.' Days of outrage have passed away, and with them the exasperation that would ​cause such an appeal to the many to be injurious. Without being aware of them, they at one time acted on his suggestions, and gained the day. But they rose when human life was respected by the Minister in power; such was not the case during the Administration which excited Shelley's abhorrence.
The poem was written for the people, and is therefore in a more popular tone than usual: portions strike as abrupt and unpolished, but many stanzas are all his own. I heard him repeat, and admired, those beginning
'My Father Time is old and gray,'
before I knew to what poem they were to belong. But the most touching passage is that which describes the blessed effects of liberty; it might make a patriot of any man whose heart was not wholly closed against his humbler fellow-creatures.
# The Brave

As rendered in Harper's Magazine (April 1915):
The Brave
BY FLORENCE EARLE COATES
IT is not the desert lonely,  Nor at the mast-head o'er the wave, Nor with the climbing fire ascending  Imperiled life to save, Nor on the battlefield, that only  Are found the brave!
Ah, no! Unmarked, pain's passion-flowers,  Through nights intolerably deep, They bind in silence; mutely praying—  Enduring, not to keep Their watchers wearying through the hours—  But let them sleep.
Through all the winter chill, ere morning,  O'er many a frozen trail, I wis, Fighting their course, that waiting children  Life's nurture may not miss— Against the blast they journey, scorning  As bitter kiss.
From light-towers sending forth at even  New hope, in place of old despair, Toiling in mines, in factories toiling—  But, ah! why seek, why care To name them o'er? The brave, thank Heaven!  Are everywhere!

# The Break of Day

First published in The Oxford Book of Australasian Verse edited by Walter Murdoch
The stars are pale. Old is the Night, his case is grievous, His strength doth fail.
Through stilly hours The dews have draped with love's old lavishness The drowsy flowers.
And Night shall die. Already, lo, the Morn's first ecstasies Across the sky.
An evil time is done. Again, as some one lost in a quaint parable, Comes up the Sun.
This work is in the public domain in Australia because it was created in Australia and the term of copyright has expired. According to Australian Copyright Council - Duration of Copyright, the following works are public domain:
* published non-government works whose author died before January 1, 1955,
* anonymous or pseudonymous works and photographs published before January 1, 1955, and
* government works published more than 50 years ago (before January 1, 1974).
This work is also in the public domain in the United States because it was first published outside the United States (and not published in the U.S. within 30 days), and it was first published before 1989 without complying with U.S. copyright formalities (renewal and/or copyright notice) and it was in the public domain in Australia on the URAA date (January 1, 1996). This is the combined effect of Australia having joined the Berne Convention in 1928, and of 17 USC 104A with its critical date of January 1, 1996.
Because the Australian copyright term in 1996 was 50 years, the critical date for copyright in the United States under the URAA is January 1, 1946.
This work may be in the public domain in countries and areas with longer native copyright terms that apply the rule of the shorter term to foreign works.

# The Braw Wooer

    Last May, a braw wooer cam doun the lang glen,
    And sair wi’ his love he did deave me;
    I said, there was naething I hated like men—
    The deuce gae wi’m, to believe me, believe me;
    The deuce gae wi’m to believe me.
    He spak o’ the darts in my bonie black e’en,
    And vow’d for my love he was diein,
    I said, he might die when he likèd for Jean—
    The Lord forgie me for liein, for liein;
    The Lord forgie me for liein!
    A weel-stocked mailen, himsel’ for the laird,
    And marriage aff-hand, were his proffers;
    I never loot on that I kenn’d it, or car’d;
    But thought I might hae waur offers, waur offers;
    But thought I might hae waur offers.
    But what wad ye think?—in a fortnight or less—
    The deil tak his taste to gae near her!
    He up the Gate-slack to my black cousin, Bess—
    Guess ye how, the jad! I could bear her, could bear her;
    Guess ye how, the jad! I could bear her.
    But a’ the niest week, as I petted wi’ care,
    I gaed to the tryst o’ Dalgarnock;
    But wha but my fine fickle wooer was there,
    I glowr’d as I’d seen a warlock, a warlock,
    I glowr’d as I’d seen a warlock.
    But owre my left shouther I gae him a blink,
    Lest neibours might say I was saucy;
    My wooer he caper’d as he’d been in drink,
    And vow’d I was his dear lassie, dear lassie,
    And vow’d I was his dear lassie.
    I spier’d for my cousin fu’ couthy and sweet,
    Gin she had recover’d her hearin’,
    And how her new shoon fit her auld schachl’t feet,
    But heavens! how he fell a swearin, a swearin,
    But heavens! how he fell a swearin.
    He beggèd, for gudesake, I wad be his wife,
    Or else I wad kill him wi’ sorrow;
    So e’en to preserve the poor body in life,
    I think I maun wed him to-morrow, to-morrow;
    I think I maun wed him to-morrow.

​Selby, Prideaux, Secretary of the Bank of Australasia, of the ancient family of the Selbys of Biddleston, Northumberland, through the Selbys of Beal, co. Durham, is the eldest son of George William Selby, by his marriage with Miss Penelope Earles, and was born in London, Dec. 9th, 1834. He arrived in Victoria with his parents by the ship China, May 2nd, 1840. Mr. Selby, sen., engaged in pastoral pursuits, and was one of the pioneers of the Anderson's Creek District, but removed to the Western District, whence he returned to Melbourne during the excitement which followed the gold discoveries in Victoria. Here he attained a high position in commercial and financial circles, and died at South Yarra, August 18th, 1890, at the advanced age of eighty-five years. The subject of this notice joined the service of the Bank of Australasia in 1858, was appointed manager at Dunedin, N.Z., in 1868, accountant Melbourne in 1870, Travelling Inspector in 1876, Secretary (chief officer in London) in 1879. He has contributed articles on the Theory of Taxation to the Melbourne Review, and to the Journal of the Bankers Institute, London, and is otherwise known as an independent thinker on economical subjects. Mr. Selby was married at Christchurch, South Yarra, on August 31st, 1864, to Rose Anne, daughter of John Wise.
# The Dictionary of Australasian Biography/Searle, Henry Ernest

​Searle, Henry Ernest, champion sculler of the world, was born at Grafton, N.S.W., on July 14th, 1866. He won a race at Chatsworth when eighteen, but his first public performance of any importance was at Grafton in 1888, when he won a two-mile race against Hearn, of New Zealand, and Christian Neilson, of his own colony. The same year he made his first appearance on the champion course at Parramatta, N.S.W., when he defeated both Wulf and Stanbury, the latter in 19 minutes 53 seconds. He repeated his conquest of Christian Neilson over the same course in Sept. 1888; and having challenged Kemp, who had succeeded Beach as champion of the world, beat him easily on Oct. 27th of the same year in 22 minutes 44 seconds. Hanlan having declined to tempt fortune by entering the lists against him, he went to England on May 9th, 1889, and met O'Connor, the champion oarsman of America, on the Thames championship course on Sept. 9th, and vanquished him easily in 22 minutes 42 seconds. After being generally lionised, he set out on his return voyage to Sydney. On the passage he sickened of typhoid fever, and died at Williamstown, Vict., on Dec. 10th, 1889. The reception which would have been extended to him personally was given to his remains on their arrival in Sydney, his funeral being one of the largest and most influentially attended ever witnessed in the colony.
