THE MAN WHO COULD WRITE
Shun—shun the Bowl! That fatal, facile drink Has ruined many geese who dipped their quills in 't; Bribe, murder, marry, but steer clear of Ink Save when you write receipts for paid-up bills in 't. There may be silver in the "blue-black"—all I know of is the iron and the gall.
BOANERGES BLITZEN, servant of the Queen, Is a dismal failure—is a Might-have-been. In a luckless moment he discovered men Rise to high position through a ready pen.
Boanerges Blitzen argued therefore—"I, With the selfsame weapon, can attain as high." Only he did not possess when he made the trial, Wicked wit of C-lv-n, irony of L—l.
[Men who spar with Government need, to back their blows, Something more than ordinary journalistic prose.]
Never young Civilian's prospects were so bright, Till an Indian paper found that he could write: Never young Civilian's prospects were so dark, When the wretched Blitzen wrote to make his mark.
Certainly he scored it, bold, and black, and firm, In that Indian paper—made his seniors squirm, Quoted office scandals, wrote the tactless truth— Was there ever known a more misguided youth?
When the Rag he wrote for praised his plucky game, Boanerges Blitzen felt that this was Fame; When the men he wrote of shook their heads and swore, Boanerges Blitzen only wrote the more:
​ Posed as Young Ithuriel, resolute and grim, Till he found promotion didn't come to him; Till he found that reprimands weekly were his lot, And his many Districts curiously hot.
Till he found his furlough strangely hard to win, Boanerges Blitzen didn't care a pin: Then it seemed to dawn on him something wasn't right— Boanerges Blitzen put it down to "spite";
Languished in a District desolate and dry; Watched the Local Government yearly pass him by; Wondered where the hitch was; called it most unfair.
That was seven years ago—and he still is there!

THE OLDEST SONG
For before Eve was Lilith.—Old Tale.
"THESE were never your true love's eyes. Why do you feign that you love them? You that broke from their constancies, And the wide calm brows above them!
This was never your true love's speech. Why do you thrill when you hear it? You that have ridden out of its reach The width of the world or near it!
This was never your true love's hair,— You that chafed when it bound you Screened from knowledge or shame or care, In the night that it made around you!"
"All these things I know, I know. And that's why my heart is breaking!" "Then what do you gain by pretending so?" "The joy of an old wound waking."

The Outlaws
1914
Through learned and laborious years They set themselves to find Fresh terrors and undreamed-of fears To heap upon mankind.
All that they drew from Heaven above Or digged from earth beneath, They laid into their treasure-trove And arsenals of death:
While, for well-weighed advantage sake, Ruler and ruled alike Built up the faith they meant to break When the fit hour should strike.
They traded with the careless earth, And good return it gave: They plotted by their neighbour's hearth The means to make him slave.
When all was ready to their hand They loosed their hidden sword, And utterly laid waste a land Their oath was pledged to guard.
Coldly they went about to raise To life and make more dread Abominations of old days, That men believed were dead.
​They paid the price to reach their goal Across a world in flame; But their own hate slew their own soul Before that victory came.

THE PRAYER
# Rudyard Kipling's Verse, Inclusive Edition, 1885-1918/The Prairie

The Prairie
I see the grass shake in the sun for leagues on either hand, I see a river loop and run about a treeless land— An empty plain, a steely pond, a distance diamond-clear, And low blue naked hills beyond. And what is that to fear?"
"Go softly by that river-side or, when you would depart, You'll find its every winding tied and knotted round your heart. Be wary as the seasons pass, or you may ne'er outrun The wind that sets that yellowed grass a-shiver 'neath the Sun."
​"I hear the summer storm outblown—the drip of the grateful wheat. I hear the hard trail telephone a far-off horse's feet. I hear the horns of Autumn blow to the wild-fowl overhead; And I hear the hush before the snow. And what is that to dread?"
"Take heed what spell the lightning weaves—what charm the echoes shape— Or, bound among a million sheaves, your soul shall not escape. Bar home the door of summer nights lest those high planets drown The memory of near delights in all the longed-for town."
"What need have I to long or fear? Now, friendly, I behold My faithful seasons robe the year in silver and in gold. Now I possess and am possessed of the land where I would be, And the curve of half Earth's generous breast shall soothe and ravish me!"
# Rudyard Kipling's Verse, Inclusive Edition, 1885-1918/The Pro-Consuls

THE PRO-CONSULS
THE overfaithful sword returns the user His heart's desire at price of his heart's blood. The clamour of the arrogant accuser Wastes that one hour we needed to make good. This was foretold of old at our outgoing; This we accepted who have squandered, knowing, The strength and glory of our reputations, At the day's need, as it were dross, to guard The tender and new-dedicate foundations Against the sea we fear—not man's award.
They that dig foundations deep, Fit for realms to rise upon, Little honour do they reap Of their generation, Any more than mountains gain Stature till we reach the plain.
With no veil before their face Such as shroud or sceptre lend— Daily in the market-place, Of one height to foe and friend— They must cheapen self to find Ends uncheapened for mankind.
Through the night when hirelings rest, Sleepless they arise, alone, The unsleeping arch to test And the o'er-trusted corner-stone, 'Gainst the need, they know, that lies Hid behind the centuries.
Not by lust of praise or show Not by Peace herself betrayed— Peace herself must they forego Till that peace be fitly made; And in single strength uphold Wearier hands and hearts acold.
On the stage their act hath framed For thy sports, O Liberty! Doubted are they, and defamed By the tongues their act set free, While they quicken, tend and raise Power that must their power displace.
​Lesser men feign greater goals, Failing whereof they may sit Scholarly to judge the souls That go down into the pit, And, despite its certain clay, Heave a new world towards the day.
These at labour make no sign, More than planets, tides or years Which discover God's design, Not our hopes and not our fears; Nor in aught they gain or lose Seek a triumph or excuse.
For, so the Ark be borne to Zion, who Heeds how they perished or were paid that bore it? For, so the Shrine abide, what shame—what pride— If we, the priests, were bound or crowned before it?
# Royal Naval Biography/Pettman, Thomas

THOMAS PETTMAN, Esq. [Post-Captain of 1823.]
Was born at Sandwich, of which borough his father is a magistrate. He obtained the rank of lieutenant. Mar. 19th, 1805 ; and commanded the boats of the Dreadnought 98, bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Thomas Sotheby, at the recapture of a Spanish merchant ship, under the following disastrous circumstances, Sept. 9th, 1810.
On the 7th of that month, the Dreadnought fell in with the Snapper schooner, and was informed by her commander that a ship was amongst the rocks on the west side of Ushant. On the morning of the 8th, Vice-Admiral Sotheby made sail towards that spot, and, in the evening, discovered the object of his search in a small creek, surrounded by rocks, but apparently not so well protected as to prevent her being taken possession of. The Dreadnought then stood off, without shewing the least appearance of intending an attack, until night, when she again bore up. On the 9th, at 5 a.m., seven boats were manned, armed, and sent away under the command of Lieutenant Pettman, who proceeded to the ​attack, constantly galled, as he approached, by a heavy fire of small arms, and two 4-pounder field-pieces on the beach. On nearing the vessel, he perceived a number of French soldiers leaving her in the greatest confusion, some of whom were drowned in attempting to reach the shore. Nothing could exceed the ardour displayed by the officers and boats’ crews, who soon obtained possession; but, unfortunately, during the time that they were bringing their prize out, a most destructive fire was opened upon them by several hundred troops, situated on a precipice, and secure from any attack that could be made upon them by so small a party. Two boats, with three men in them, being shot adrift, drove on shore during the heat of the action, and were taken possession of by the enemy: the launch, in endeavouring to rescue them, had several men wounded. The loss on the part of the British was Mr. Henry B. Middleton, master’s-mate, Mr. William Robinson, midshipman, three sailors, and three marines, killed; Lieutenants Henry Elton and Stewart Blacker, Messrs. George Burt and Henry Dennis, midshipmen, eighteen sailors, and six marines, wounded; five seamen and one marine missing. The French privateer by which this ship had been taken, was lying about a mile distant, but did not offer any opposition to the boats, and, in consequence of the severe loss they sustained. Lieutenant Pettman did not deem it proper to attack her. The prize, thus dearly purchased, proved to be the Maria Antonio, from Teneriffe, with a cargo of barilla, bound to London.
The gallant conductor of the above enterprise was made a commander, June 15th, 1814 appointed to assist Captain George Fowke in the superintendence of the Ordinary at Sheerness, about June 1822; and promoted to post rank, Sept. 5th, 1823. He died in the summer of 1828.
# Royal Naval Biography/Philips, James Robert

JAMES ROBERT PHILIPS, Esq. [Post-Captain of 1807.]
A son, we believe, of the late Mr. Philips, Master R.N. whom we have heard described as a very respectable officer.
The subject of this sketch is said to be a native of Scarborough, and we first find him serving as a Midshipman on board the Majestic 74, bearing the flag of Vice-Admiral Caldwell, by whom he was made a Lieutenant, into the same ship, on the Leeward Islands’ station, in Dec, 1705. His next ​appointment was to the Beaulieu of 40 guns, in which frigate he witnessed the defeat of Admiral de Winter, by the heroic Duncan, off Camperdown, Oct. 11, 1797.
At the close of that memorable conflict, Lieutenant Philips took charge of the Monnikendam, a Dutch 40, which ship had been engaged by the Monmouth 64, and was finally taken possession of by the Beaulieu. In her he had the misfortune to be wrecked on a sand near West Capel, and himself and his people were consequently taken prisoners.
From this period we have no certain information respecting Lieutenant Philips until his appointment to the Centurion of 50 guns. The gallant manner in which he defended that ship, when attacked by a French squadron under Mons. Linois, Sept. 18, 1804, has been fully described at p. 875, et seq. of Vol. II. part II. His commission as a Commander bears date Mar. 15, 1805.
In June, 1806, Captain Philips was appointed to the Bonetta of 14 guns, and ordered to act as commander of the Gannet 16, at Sheerness, until the arrival there of the former sloop, then absent on convoy service. During the remainder of that year, he was principally employed escorting merchantmen to and from the German rivers; and, in 1807, we find him accompanying Captain Collard to the Baltic, where he continued affording protection to the trade passing up und down that sea, until his promotion to post rank, Oct. 13, 1807. He was superseded in the command of the Bonetta, on his return from Copenhagen, at the close of the same year, and has not since held any appointment.
Lieutenant John Alexander Philips, R.M.A. brother to the subject of this sketch, served as a Midshipman under Captain (now Sir William) Hargood, on the glorious 21 Oct. 1805; and subsequently as Master’s Mate of the Lionetta, which vessel he left in order to join the royal marines, 1806.

Third, and eldest surviving son of Lord Arden, by Margaretta Elizabeth, eldest daughter of Sir Thomas Spencer Wilson, Bart.
This officer was born on the 15th March, 1794; made lieutenant, June 7, 1814; advanced to the rank of commander, June 13, 1815; and posted, Dec. 7. 1818. He served in one of the boats of the Tigre 80, Captain Benjamin Hallowell, at the capture and destruction of a French convoy in the Bay of Rosas, Nov. 1, 1809; and commanded those of the Tenedos frigate, Captain Hyde Parker, in a successful expedition up the Penobscot river. North America, in Sept. 1814. We lastly find him commanding the Infernal bomb, at the battle of Algiers.

Mr. Justice BLACK concurs in the opinion and judgment of the Court, but he would make it absolutely clear to the Supreme Court of Texas that so far as the federal constitutional question is concerned its judgment is set aside only for the purpose of giving the petitioner a trial, and that if a trial is given the case should not be dismissed.

Mr. Justice WHITE, concurring.
I join the opinion of the Court, understanding its remand of the cause 'for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion' to leave open the ultimate question whether Texas must dismiss the criminal proceedings against the petitioner. The Texas court's erroneous reliance on the fact of incarceration elsewhere prevented it from reaching the other facets of this question, which may now be adjudicated in the manner permitted by Texas procedure.

Smith v. Hooey
Argued: Dec. 11, 1968. --- Decided: Jan 20, 1969
Separate opinion of Mr. Justice HARLAN.
I agree that a State may not ignore a criminal accused's request to be brought to trial, merely because he is incarcerated in another jurisdiction, but that it must make a reasonable effort to secure his presence for trial. This much is required by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, and I would rest decision of this case on that ground and not on 'incorporation' of the Sixth Amendment's speedy-trial provision into the Fourteenth. See my opinion concurring in the result in Klopfer v. North Carolina, 386 U.S. 213, 226, 87 S.Ct. 988, 995, 18 L.Ed.2d 1 (1967).
I believe, however that the State is entitled to more explicitness from us as to what is to be expected of it on remand than what is conveyed merely by the requirement that further proceedings not be 'inconsistent with this opinion.' Must the charges against petitioner be dismissed? Or may Texas now secure his presence and proceed to try him? If petitioner contends that he has been prejudiced by the nine-year delay, how is this claim to be adjudicated?
This case is one of first impression for us, and decides a question on which the state and lower federal courts have been divided. Under these particular circumstances, I do not believe that Texas should automatically forfeit the right to try petitioner. If the State still desires to bring him to trial, it should do so forthwith. At trial, if petitioner makes a prima facie showing that he has in fact been prejudiced by the State's delay, I would then shift to the State the burden of proving the contrary.

Smith v. Illinois
Argued: Dec. 7, 1967. --- Decided: Jan 29, 1968
Mr. Justice HARLAN, dissenting.
We granted certiorari in this case believing that it presented with requisite clarity the issue whether a defendant in a state criminal trial may constitutionally be denied on cross-examination of a principal state witness the right to question such witness as to his actual name and address. Were I still of the view, after examination of the record, that this case clearly presents that question, I would concur in the Court's judgment on due process, but not on Sixth Amendment 'incorporation,' grounds. The record, however, raises serious doubt that this petitioner was denied any information that he did not already here, thus either rendering the error harmless or at least making the issue inappropriate for constitutional adjudication.
The State's witness identified himself as 'James Jordan.' Apparently knowing that this was not his real or his only name, defense counsel asked Jordan whether that was his correct name, and received a negative reply. Further inquiry was disallowed by the trial judge as to both the witness' name and address. Later, however, defense counsel said of the witness 'I represented him before, I know him.' Still later, when asked by defense counsel on direct examination how long he had known James Jordan, the defendant replied, 'I'd say a new years or so, casualty.' The defendant also indicated that he knew Jordan to be a narcotics addict, and that he knew that Jordan was acquainted with a person whose legal name he knew to be Herbert Simpson.
In the face of these developments, the Court's suggestion that perhaps the defense nevertheless did not know Jordan's name or address is, to say the least, exceedingly dubious. At no point did defense counsel, or defendant, state that he lacked the requested information, nor did counsel pursue the point with any vigor after the State's objections to the questions; he simply turned to another series of questions without suggesting any way in which his attempt to present a defense had been prejudiced. The inference seems to me patent that counsel was asking routine questions, to which he already knew the answers, and that his failure to get answers in court was of no consequence.
I would not reverse a state conviction on a record so opaque, indeed one savoring of a disingenuous constitutional contention. Cf. Rescue Army v. Municipal Court, 331 U.S. 549, 67 S.Ct. 1409, 91 L.Ed. 1666; Poe v. Ullman, 367 U.S. 497, 81 S.Ct. 1752, 6 L.Ed.2d 989. I would therefore dismiss the writ as improvidently granted.
