# St. Agnes' Eve (unsourced)

Deep on the convent-roof the snows  Are sparkling to the moon: My breath to heaven like vapour goes:  May my soul follow soon! The shadows of the convent-towers  Slant down the snowy sward, Still creeping with the creeping hours  That lead me to my Lord: Make Thou my spirit pure and clear  As are the frosty skies, Or this first snowdrop of the year  That in my bosom lies.
As these white robes are soil'd and dark,  To yonder shining ground; As this pale taper's earthly spark,  To yonder argent round; So shows my soul before the Lamb,  My spirit before Thee; So in mine earthly house I am,  To that i hope to be. Break up the heavens, O Lord! and far,  Thro' all yon starlight keen, Draw me, thy bride, a glittering star,  In raiment white and clean.
He lifts me to the golden doors;  The flashes come and go; All heaven bursts her starry floors,  And strows her lights below, And deepens on and up! the gates  Roll back and far within For me the heavenly bridegroom waits,  To make me pure of sin. The Sabbaths of Eternity,  One Sabbath deep and wide- A light upon the shining sea-
 The Bridegroom with his bride!

# Shakespearean Tragedy/Note Z

Layout 2
London: Macmillan, pages 466–467
NOTE Z.
SUSPECTED INTERPOLATIONS IN MACBETH.
I have assumed in the text that almost the whole of Macbeth is genuine; and, to avoid the repetition of arguments to be found in other books, I shall leave this opinion unsupported. But among the passages that have been questioned or rejected there are two which seem to me open to serious doubt. They are those in which Hecate appears: viz. the whole of III. v.; and IV. i. 39–43.
These passages have been suspected (1) because they contain stage-directions for two songs which have been found in Middleton’s Witch; (2) because they can be excised without leaving the least trace of their excision; and (3) because they contain lines incongruous with the spirit and atmosphere of the rest of the Witch-scenes: e.g. III. v. 10 f.:
and IV. i. 41, 2:
The idea of sexual relation in the first passage, and the trivial daintiness of the second (with which cf. III. v. 34,
suit Middleton’s Witches quite well, but Shakespeare’s not at all; and it is difficult to believe that, if Shakespeare had meant to introduce a personage supreme over the Witches, he would have made her so unimpressive as this Hecate. (It may be added that the original stage-direction at IV. i. 39, ‘Enter Hecat and the other three Witches,’ is suspicious.)
​I doubt if the second and third of these arguments, taken alone, would justify a very serious suspicion of interpolation; but the fact, mentioned under (1), that the play has here been meddled with, trebles their weight. And it gives some weight to the further fact that these passages resemble one another, and differ from the bulk of the other Witch passages, in being iambic in rhythm. (It must, however, be remembered that, supposing Shakespeare did mean to introduce Hecate, he might naturally use a special rhythm for the parts where she appeared.)
The same rhythm appears in a third passage which has been doubted: IV. i. 125–132. But this is not quite on a level with the other two; for (1), though it is possible to suppose the Witches, as well as the Apparitions, to vanish at 124, and Macbeth’s speech to run straight on to 133, the cut is not so clean as in the other cases; (2) it is not at all clear that Hecate (the most suspicious element) is supposed to be present. The original stage-direction at 133 is merely ‘The Witches Dance, and vanish’; and even if Hecate had been present before, she might have vanished at 43, as Dyce makes her do.

# Shall I die?

This nine-verse love lyric was ascribed to Shakespeare in a manuscript collection of verses probably written in the late 1630s. In 1985 Gary Taylor drew attention to the attribution, leading to widespread scholarly discussion of it. The attribution is not widely accepted, with numerous scholars agreeing that authorship is not certain and the attribution unreliable.
Shall I die? Shall I fly Lover's baits and deceits sorrow breeding? Shall I tend? Shall I send? Shall I sue, and not rue my proceeding? In all duty her beauty Binds me her servant for ever. If she scorn, I mourn, I retire to despair, joining never.
Yet I must vent my lust And explain inward pain by my love conceiving. If she smiles, she exiles All my moan; if she froan, all my hopes deceiving - Suspicious doubt, O keep out, For thou art my tormentor. Fie away, pack away; I will love, for hope bids me venture.   'Twere abuse to accuse My fair love, ere I prove her affection. Therefore try! Her reply Gives me joy - or annoy, or affliction. Yet howe'er, I will bear Her pleasure with patience, for beauty Sure will not seem to blot Her deserts, wronging him doth her duty.
In a dream it did seem - But alas, dreams do pass as do shadows - I did walk, I did talk With my love, with my dove through fair meadows. Still we passed till at last We sat to repose us for pleasure. Being set, lips met, Arms twined, and did bind my heart's treasure.
Gentle wind sport did find Wantonly to make fly her gold tresses. As they shook I did look, But her fair did impair all my senses. As amazed, I gazed On more than a mortal complexion. You that love can prove Such force in beauty's inflection.   Next her hair, forehead fair, Smooth and high; neat doth lie, without wrinkle, Her fair brows; under those, Star-like eyes win love's prize when they twinkle. In her cheeks who seeks Shall find there displayed beauty's banner; O admiring desiring Breeds, as I look still upon her.
Thin lips red, fancy's fed With all sweets when he meets, and is granted There to trade, and is made Happy, sure, to endure still undaunted. Pretty chin doth win Of all their culled commendations; Fairest neck, no speck; All her parts merit high admirations.
Pretty bare, past compare, Parts those plots which besots still asunder. It is meet naught but sweet Should come near that so rare 'tis a wonder. No mis-shape, no scape Inferior to nature's perfection; No blot, no spot: She's beauty's queen in election.
Whilst I dreamt, I, exempt From all care, seemed to share pleasure's plenty; But awake, care take - For I find to my mind pleasures scanty. Therefore I will try To compass my heart's chief contenting. To delay, some say, In such a cause causeth repenting.

# Tales from the Arabic/Haroun er Reshid and the Woman of the Barmecides

First-level story.
HAROUN ER RESHID AND THE WOMAN OF THE BARMECIDES.
They tell that Haroun er Reshid was sitting one day to do away grievances, when there came up to him a woman and said to him, “O Commander of the Faithful, may God accomplish thine affair and cause thee rejoice in that which He hath given thee and increase thee in elevation! Indeed, thou hast done justice and wrought equitably.” Quoth the Khalif to those who were present with him, “Know ye what this woman meaneth by her saying?” And they answered, “Of a surety, she meaneth not otherwise than well, O Commander of the Faithful.” “Nay,” rejoined Haroun; “she purposeth only in this an imprecation against me. As for her saying, ‘God accomplish thine affair!’ she hath taken it from the saying of the poet, ‘When an affair is accomplished, its abatement beginneth. Beware of cessation, whenas it is said, “It is accomplished.”’ As for her saying ‘God cause thee rejoice in that which He hath given thee,’ she took it from the saying of God the Most High, ‘Till, whenas they rejoiced in that which they were given, we ​took them suddenly and lo, they were confounded!’ As for her saying, ‘God increase thee in elevation!’ she took it from the saying of the poet, ‘No bird flieth and riseth up on high, but, like as he flieth, he falleth.’ And as for her saying, ‘Indeed, thou hast done justice and wrought equitably,’ it is from the saying of the Most High, ‘[If ye deviate or lag behind or turn aside, verily, God of that which ye do is aware;’ and] ‘As for the transgressors,’ they are fuel for hell[-fire].’”
Then he turned to the woman and said to her, “Is it not thus?” “Yes, O Commander of the Faithful,” answered she; and he said, “What prompted thee to this?” Quoth she, “Thou slewest my father and my mother and my kinsfolk and tookest their goods.” “Whom meanest thou?” asked the Khalif, and she replied, “I am of the house of Bermek.” Thens aid he to her, “As for the dead, they are of those who are past away, and it booteth not to speak of them; but, as for that which I took of wealth, it shall be restored to thee, yea, and more than it.” And he was bountiful to her to the utmost of munificence.

# Tales from the Arabic/Ibn es Semmak and Er Reshid

First-level story.
IBN ES SEMMAK AND ER RESHID.
It is related that Ibn es Semmak went in one day to Er Reshid and the Khalif, being athirst, called for drink. So his cup was brought him, and when he took it, Ibn es Semmak said to him, “Softly, O Commander of the Faithful! If thou wert denied this draught, with what wouldst thou buy it?” “With the half of my kingdom,” answered the Khalif; and Ibn es Semmak said, “Drink and God prosper it to thee!” Then, when he had drunken, he said to him, “If thou wert denied the going forth of the draught from thy body, with what wouldst thou buy its issue?” “With the whole of my kingdom,” answered Er Reshid: and Ibn es Semmak said, “O Commander of the Faithful, verily, a kingdom that weigheth not in the balance against a draught [of water] or a voiding of urine is not worth the striving for.” And Haroun wept.

United States Supreme Court
198 U.S. 141
Steigleder v. McQuesten
Argued: April 14, 1905. --- Decided: April 24, 1905
The bill filed in the circuit court by the plaintiff, McQuesten, alleged her to be 'a citizen of the United States and of the state of Massachusetts, and residing at Turner's Falls, in said state,' while the defendants, Steigleder and wife, were alleged to be 'citizens of the state of Washington, and residing at the city of Seattle, in said state.'
The object of the suit was to obtain a decree adjudging defendants to be trustees for the plaintiff in respect of certain real estate in King county, state of Washington. The defendants demurred to the bill for want of equity. The demurrer was overruled, and the defendants answered, without making any issue as to the citizenship of the parties, but denying the alleged trust, and averring that there had been a final settlement between the parties before the institution of the suit in respect of all the matters in dispute.
The cause was referred to a master, and, after proof was taken, the defendants moved the court to dismiss the suit for want of jurisdiction, the reason assigned in the motion being only that the plaintiff was, and for a long time prior to the commencement of the suit had been, a 'resident' of the state of Washington, which the defendants were 'residents' of the same state.
The motion to dismiss was denied, and the case went to a decree in favor of the plaintiff upon the merits.
The defendants were granted an appeal directly to this court, the question of jurisdiction being certified.
Messrs. John E. Humphries and George B. Cole for appellants.
Messrs. James B. Howe and George McKay for appellee.
Mr. Justice Harlan delivered the opinion of the court:

Mr. Justice DOUGLAS, dissenting.
Mr. Justice Murphy, Mr. Justice Rutledge, and I voted in Wolf v. People of State of Colorado, 338 U.S. 25, 69 S.Ct. 1359, 93 L.Ed. 1782, that evidence obtained as a result of an unreasonable search and seizure should be excluded from state as well as federal trials. In retrospect the views expressed by Mr. Justice Murphy and Mr. Justice Rutledge grow in power and persuasiveness. I adhere to them. I therefore think that any court may with propriety step in to prevent the use of this illegal evidence. To hold first that the evidence may be admitted and second that its use may not be enjoined is to make the Fourth Amendment an empty and hollow guarantee so far as state prosecutions are concerned.

# Sibylline Leaves (Coleridge)/To a Friend

The 'Friend' of the title is Charles Lamb
TO A FRIEND
Who had declared his intention of writing no more Poetry.
Dear Charles! whilst yet thou wert a babe, I ween That Genius plunged thee in that wizard fount Hight Castalie; and (sureties of thy faith) That Pity and Simplicity stood by, And promised for thee, that thou shouldst renounce The world's low cares and lying vanities, Stedfast and rooted in the heavenly Muse, And wash'd and sanctified to Poesy. Yes—thou wert plunged, but with forgetful hand Held, as by Thetis erst her warrior Son: And with those recreant unbaptized Heels Thou'rt flying from thy bounden Ministeries— So sore it seems and burthensome a task To weave unwithering flowers! But take thou heed: For thou art vulnerable, wild eyed Boy,
And I have arrowsmystically dipt, Such as may stop thy speed. Is thy Burns dead? And shall he die unwept, and sink to Earth "Without the meed of one melodious tear?" Thy Burns, and Nature's own beloved Bard, Who to the "Illustrious of his native Land So properly did look for Patronage." Ghost of Mæcenas! hide thy blushing face! They snatch'd him from the Sickle and the Plough— To guage) Ale-Firkins.
Oh! for shame return! On a bleak Rock, midway the Aonian mount. There stands a lone and melancholy tree, Whose aged branches to the midnight blast Make solemn music: pluck its darkest bough, Ere yet the unwholesome Night-dew be exhaled, And weeping wreath it round thy Poet's Tomb. Then in the outskirts, where pollutions grow,
Pick the rank hensbane and the dusky flowers
Of night-shade, or its red and tempting fruit.
These with stopped nostril and glove-guarded hand
Knit in nice intertexture, so to twine
The Illustrious Brow of Scotch Nobility.
1796.

# Sibylline Leaves (Coleridge)/The Visionary Hope

THE VISIONARY HOPE.
Sad lot, to have no Hope! Tho' lowly kneeling, He fain would frame a prayer within his breast, Would fain intreat for some sweet breath of healing, That his sick body might have ease and rest; He strove in vain! the dull sighs from his chest Against his will the stifling load revealing. Tho' Nature forc'd; tho' like some captive guest Some royal prisoner at his conqueror's feast, An alien's restless mood but half concealing, The sternness on his gentle brow confest Sickness within and miserable feeling: Tho' obscure pangs made curses of his dreams, And dreaded sleep, each night repell'd in vain, Each night was scatter'd by its own loud screams: Yet never could his heart command, tho' fain, One deep full wish to be no more in pain.
That Hope, which was his inward bliss and boast, Which wan'd and died, yet ever near him stood,
Tho' chang'd in nature, wander where he wou'd— For Love's Despair is but Hope's pining Ghost! For this one hope he makes his hourly moan, He wishes and can wish for this alone! Pierc'd, as with light from Heaven, before its gleams (So the love-stricken visionary deems) Disease would vanish, like a summer shower, Whose dews fling sunshine from the noon-tide bower! Or let it stay! yet this one Hope should give Such strength that he would bless his pains and live.
