HATCHMENTS.
Or, as it was formerly written, Atchievements, are lozenge-shaped frames, usually affixed on the outside of a house, at the death of one of the heads of the household; and indicate by the form of the shield and disposition of the charges thereon, the rank to which the possessor was entitled.
Should the deceased person be a bachelor, his hatchment would be blazoned as in Fig. 191.
A spinster, as has been before stated, bears her arms on a lozenge; and her hatchment is farther distinguished from that of a bachelor by a knot of ribbons, which takes the place of a crest. Fig. 192.
Fig. 191.
Fig. 192.
Fig. 193.
On the death of a married man, his arms are impaled with those of his wife, as shown in the annexed diagram. Fig. 193. It will be noticed that the husband’s, which is the dexter side, is black, and the ​sinister side, white; implying that the widow survives. In the hatchment of a deceased wife this order is reversed, and, instead of a crest, a cherub’s head is usually placed.
A widower’s hatchment is the same as a bachelor’s, except that his late wife’s arms are impaled with his own, while a bachelor’s is always single, or quatered. In the same manner, a widow’s is distinguished from a spinster’s.
A skull over the arms denotes that the deceased person is the last of the family.
In the hatchment of a bishop, the dexter side, or that on which the arms of his see are represented, is white; and the sinister, bearing his own, is black.
The family motto is seldom used on a hatchment; in its place is commonly inscribed some legend of a religious nature, such as, ‘Resurgam,’ ‘In cœlo quies,’ &c.
It is usual to represent the hatchments of esquires and gentlemen without a helmet; but the arms of nobles are always ensigned with their proper mantling and coronet.

TINCTURES.
Shields and their charges are further distinguished by various colours, called in Heraldry tinctures, which comprise Metals, Colours, and Furs; viz.—
Metals. :
| | Heraldic term. | Abbrev. | |
| gold, | Or, | or, | Fig. 25. |
| Silver, | Argent, | arg., | Fig. 26. |
| Colours. ||||
| | Heraldic term. | Abbrev. | |
| Red, | Gules, | gu., | Fig 27. |
| Blue, | Azure, | az., | Fig. 28. |
| Black, | Sable, | sa., | Fig. 29. |
| Green, | Vert, | vert, | Fig. 30 |
| Purple, | Purpure, | purp., | Fig. 31 |
The metals and colours are represented, in engravings and on seals, in the following manner:—
    Or.—Plain, powdered with dots. Fig. 25.
    Argent.—Plain. Fig. 26.
    Gules.—Perpendicular lines. Fig. 27.
    Azure.—Horizontal. Fig. 28.
    Sable.—Horizontal and perpendicular lines crossed. Fig. 29.
    Vert.—Diagonal lines drawn from dexter to sinister. Fig. 30.
Purpure.—Diagonal lines drawn from sinister to dexter.
In addition to these tinctures, Tenne (orange) and Sanguine (murrey) are sometimes included, though they are very seldom, if ever, used in English heraldry. The former is represented by diagonal lines, drawn from the sinister to the dexter, crossed by perpendicular lines; and the latter by diagonal lines crossing each other.
The earliest example in which tinctures are represented by lines occurs in the seals attached to the death-warrant of Charles I.
Furs
Ermine.—Argent, powdered with sable 'spots.' Fig. 32.
Ermines.—Sable, powdered with argent 'spots.' Fig. 33.
Erminois.—Or, powdered with sable 'spots.' Fig. 34.
Erminites.—The same as ermine, with a red hair on each side of the black 'spots' or tails.
​Pean.—Sable, powdered with or spots. Fig. 35.
Vair is formed by a number of small bells, or shields, of one tincture, arranged in horizontal lines, in such a manner that the bases of those in the upper line are opposite to others, of another tincture, below. Fig. 36.
Countervair, the same as vair, except that the bells, placed base to base, are of the same tincture. Fig. 37.
Potent is formed of figures resembling crutch-heads, arranged in the same manner as vair. Fig. 38.
Conterpotent.—Potent, arranged similarly to countervair. Fig. 39.
The furs vair, countervair, potent, and counterpotent, are always to be blazoned argent and azure, unless otherwise specified. If the field were or, and the bells gules, it would be blazoned as vairy, or, and gules.

DIVIDING LINES.
The shield is divided by various lines drawn through it, as follows:—
The meaning of these terms will be understood by reference to the Ordinaries.
The partition lines dividing a shield are not always straight; they may assume any of the following forms:—
These last five, however, are seldom to be met with.
When a shield is blazoned as quaterly, it does not necesarily follow that it is divided into four portions. Fig. 24, for instance, would be described as quaterly of 10.
# The Grammar of Heraldry/Chapter 7

MARKS OF CADENCY, OR DIFFERENCES.
All the sons of a family being equally entitled to bear their paternal arms, some mark is required by which they may be distinguished from each other.
In the early days of heraldry, differences were effected by a variety of arbitrary methods, such as changing the tincture of the original coat, adding or suppressing some minor charge, enclosing the shield within a bordure, &c.; but as by this means much confusion and uncertainty were necessarily engendered, in the reign of Richard II. a simpler plan was devised, that of adding certain recognised devices to the paternal coat, styled differences, or marks ​of cadency. Thus the eldest son bears the same arms as his father, differenced with a label, or file, which may be either of three or five points, or lambeaux, but usually the former. Fig. 177.
The second son differences his arms with a crescent. Fig. 178.
Fig. 177.
Fig. 178.
The third son differences his arms with a mullet. Fig. 158.
The fourth son differences his arms with a martlet, which is a bird without feet or beak. Fig. 179.
The fifth son differences his arms with an annulet, or small ring. Fig. 176.
The sixth son differences his arms with a fleur-de-lys. Fig. 136.
The seventh son differences his arms with a rose. Fig. 137.
The eighth son differences his arms with a cross moline. Fig. 60.
Fig. 179.
Fig. 180.
The ninth son differences himself with a double quatrefoil. Fig. 180.
​Should the eldest son himself have a son, he would bear his father’s arms differenced by a label, to show that he was of the first house; and on that label there would be charged another label, showing that he was the first son of that house. Again, the fourth son bears, as we have seen, a martlet for difference. His fifth son would, therefore, charge an annulet on his father’s martlet, thereby implying that he was the fifth son of the fourth house.
The members of the Royal family difference their arms with a silver label of three points, charged with some distinguishing mark specially assigned to them by the sovereign. Thus Prince Alfred bears on the first and third points of his label, an anchor az.; on the middle point, a cross gu. Prince Arthur, a cross gu., between 2 fleurs-de-lys az. The Princess Royal, a rose between 2 crosses gu, &c. The Prince of Wales, of course, bears his label plain.
As marks of cadency are merely accidental differences, and do not form an integral part of the arms, it is permissible to charge metal on metal, or colour on colour. A field gu., therefore, differenced with a label az., would not be considered false heraldry.
This method of showing the seniority of the different branches of a family was formerly, and still ought to be, strictly observed, though at the present day it is very much neglected.
# The Improvisatrice; and Other Poems/Love, Hope, and Beauty

LOVE, HOPE, AND BEAUTY.
Love may be increased with fears,  May be fanned with sighs, Nurst by fancies, fed by doubts;  But without Hope it dies! As in the far Indian isles  Dies the young cocoa-tree, Unless within the pleasant shade  Of the parent plant it be: So Love may spring up at first,  Lighted at Beauty's eyes;— But Beauty is not all its life,  For without Hope it dies.
# The Improvisatrice; and Other Poems/Sappho’s Song

SAPPHO'S SONG.
Farewell, my lute!—and would that I  Had never waked thy burning chords! Poison has been upon thy sigh,  And fever has breathed in thy words.   Yet wherefore, wherefore should I blame  Thy power, thy spell, my gentlest lute? I should have been the wretch I am,  Had every chord of thine been mute.   It was my evil star above,  Not my sweet lute, that wrought me wrong;
It was not song that taught me love,  But it was love that taught me song.   If song be past, and hope undone,  And pulse, and head, and heart, are flame; It is thy work, thou faithless one!  But, no!—I will not name thy name!   Sun-god, lute, wreath are vowed to thee!  Long be their light upon my grave— My glorious grave—yon deep blue sea:  I shall sleep calm beneath its wave!
Florence! with what idolatry  I ’ve lingered in thy radiant halls, Worshipping, till my dizzy eye  Grew dim with gazing on those walls,
Where Time had spared each glorious gift By Genius unto Memory left! And when seen by the pale moonlight, More pure, more perfect, though less bright, What dreams of song flashed on my brain, Till each shade seemed to live again; And then the beautiful, the grand, The glorious of my native land, In every flower that threw its veil Aside, when wooed by the spring gale; In every vineyard, where the sun, His task of summer ripening done, Shone on their clusters, and a song Came lightly from the peasant throng;— In the dim loveliness of night, In fountains with their diamond light,
In aged temple, ruined shrine, And its green wreath of ivy twine;— In every change of earth and sky, Breathed the deep soul of poesy.    As yet I loved not;—but each wild, High thought I nourished raised a pyre For love to light; and lighted once By love, it would be like the fire The burning lava floods that dwell In Etna’s cave unquenchable.
One evening in the lovely June,  Over the Arno’s waters gliding, I had been watching the fair moon  Amid her court of white clouds riding;—
I had been listening to the gale,  Which wafted music from around, (For scarce a lover, at that hour,  But waked his mandolin’s light sound),— And odour was upon the breeze, Sweet thefts from rose and lemon trees.   They stole me from my lulling dream,  And said they knew that such an hour Had ever influence on my soul,  And raised my sweetest minstrel power. I took my lute,—my eye had been Wandering round the lovely scene, Filled with those melancholy tears, Which come when all most bright appears,
And hold their strange and secret power, Even on pleasure’s golden hour. I had been looking on the river, Half-marvelling to think that ever Wind, wave, or sky, could darken where All seemed so gentle and so fair: And mingled with these thoughts there came  A tale, just one that Memory keeps— Forgotten music, still some chance  Vibrate the chord whereon it sleeps!
# The Improvisatrice; and Other Poems/Manmadin, the Indian Cupid

MANMADIN, THE INDIAN CUPID,
FLOATING DOWN THE GANGES.*
There is a darkness on the sky, And the troubled waves run high, And the lightning flash is breaking, And the thunder peal is waking; Reddening meteors, strange and bright, Cross the rainbow's timid light, As if mingled hope and fear, Storm and sunshine, shook the sphere.
Tempest winds rush fierce along, Bearing yet a sound of song; Music's on the tempest's wing, Wafting thee, young Manmadin! Pillowed on a lotus flower, Gathered in a summer hour, Rides he o'er the mountain wave Which would be a tall ship's grave! At his back his bow is slung, Sugar-cane, with wild bees strung,— Bees born with the buds of spring, Yet with each a deadly sting;— Grasping in his infant hand Arrows in their silken band, Each made of a signal flower, Emblem of its varied power;
Some formed of the silver leaf Of the almond, bright and brief, Just a frail and lovely thing, For but one hour's flourishing; Others, on whose shaft there glows The red beauty of the rose; Some in spring's half-folded bloom, Some in summer's full perfume; Some with withered leaves and sere, Falling with the falling year; Some bright with the rainbow-dyes Of the tulip's vanities; Some, bound with the lily's bell, Breathe of love, that dares not tell Its sweet feelings; the dark leaves Of the esignum, which grieves
Droopingly, round some were bound; Others were with tendrils wound Of the green and laughing vine,— And the barb was dipp'd in wine. But all these are summer ills, Like the tree whose stem distils Balm beneath its pleasant shade In the wounds its thorns have made. Though the flowers may fade and die, 'Tis but a light penalty. All these bloom-clad darts are meant But for a short-lived content!— Yet one arrow has a power Lasting till life's latest hour— Weary day and sleepless night, Lightning gleams of fierce delight,
Fragrant and yet poisoned sighs, Agonies and ecstasies; Hopes, like fires amid the gloom, Lighting only to consume! Happiness one hasty draught, And the lip has venom quaffed. Doubt, despairing, crime and craft, Are upon that honied shaft! It has made the crowned king Crouch beneath his suffering; Made the beauty's cheek more pale Than the foldings of her veil; Like a child, the soldier kneel Who had mocked at flame or steel; Bade the fires of genius turn On their own breasts, and there burn;
A wound, a blight, a curse, a doom, Bowing young hearts to the tomb! Well may storm be on the sky,} And the waters roll on high,} When Manmadin passes by. } Earth below and heaven above Well may bend to thee, oh Love!
* ↑ *Camdeo, or Manmadin, the Indian Cupid, is pictured in Ackermann's pretty work on Hindostan in another form. He is riding a green parrot, his bow of sugar-cane, the cord of bees, and his arrows all sorts of flowers; but one alone is headed, and the head covered with honey-comb.
* ↑ as noted in the Literary Gazette, this should read 'ocynum'
# The Improvisatrice; and Other Poems/On a Star

ON A STAR.
Beautiful Star that art wandering through The midnight ocean's waves of blue! I have watched since thy first pale ray Rose on the farewell of Summer's day,— From thy first sweet shine on the twilight hour, To thy present blaze of beauty and power! Would I could read my destiny, Lovely and glorious Star, in thee! Yet why should I wish?—I know too well What thy tablet of light would tell!
What, oh! what could I read there, But the depths of Love's despair,— Blighted feelings, like leaves that fall The first from April's coronal,— Hopes like meteors that shine and depart— An early grave, and a broken heart!
SONG.
Farewell!—and never think of me  In lighted hall or lady's bower!
Farewell!—and never think of me
 In spring sunshine or summer hour!—
But when you see a lonely grave,
 Just where a broken heart might be,
With not one mourner by its sod,  Then—and then only—think of me!

# The Improvisatrice; and Other Poems/Song of the Hunter’s Bride

SONG OF THE HUNTER'S BRIDE.
Another day—another day,
 And yet he comes not nigh; I look amid the dim blue hills,
 Yet nothing meets mine eye.
I hear the rush of mountain-streams
 Upon the echoes borne; I hear the singing of the birds,
 But not my hunter's horn.
The eagle sails in darkness past,
 The watchful chamois bounds; But what I look for comes not near,—
 My Ulric's hawk and hounds.
Three times I thus have watched the snow
 Grow crimson with the stain The setting sun threw o'er the rock,
 And I have watched in vain.
I love to see the graceful bow
 Across his shoulder slung,— I love to see the golden horn
 Beside his baldric hung.
I love his dark hounds, and I love
 His falcon's sweeping flight; I love to see his manly cheek
 With mountain-colours bright.
I've waited patiently, but now
 Would that the chase were o'er; Well may he love the hunter's toil,
 But he should love me more.
Why stays he thus?—he would be here
 If his love equalled mine; Methinks had I one fond caged-dove
 I would not let it pine.
But, hark! what are those ringing steps
 That up the valley come?
I see his hounds,—I see himself,—  My Ulric, welcome home!
