# The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin/Later addition to the text
## Later addition to the text

As soon as I was settled in a Lodging Mr Charles had provided for me, I went to visit Dr Fothergill, to whom I was strongly recommended, and whose Counsel respecting my Proceedings I was advis’d to obtain. He was against an immediate Complaint to Government, and thought the Proprietaries should first be personally apply’d to, who might possibly be induc’d by the Interposition & Persuasion of some private Friends to accommodate Matters amicably. I then waited on my old Friend and Correspondent Mr Peter Collinson, who told me that John Hanbury, the great Virginia Merchant, had requested to be informed when I should arrive, that he might carry me to Lord Granville’s, who was then President of the Council, and wish’d to see me as soon as possible. I agreed to go with him the next Morning. Accordingly Mr Hanbury called for me and took me in his Carriage to that Nobleman’s, who receiv’d me with great Civility; and after some Questions respecting the present State of Affairs in America, & Discourse thereupon, he said to me, “You Americans have wrong Ideas of the Nature of your Constitution; you contend that the King’s Instructions to his Governors are not Laws, and think yourselves at Liberty to regard or disregard them at your own Discretion. But those Instructions are not like the Pocket Instructions given to a Minister going abroad, for regulating his Conduct in some trifling Point of Ceremony. They are first drawn up by Judges learned in the Laws; they are then considered, debated & perhaps amended in Council, after which they are signed by the King. They are then so far as relates to you, the Law of the Land; for THE KING IS THE LEGISLATOR OF THE COLONIES” I told his Lordship this was new Doctrine to me. I had always understood from our Charters, that our Laws were to be made by our Assemblies, to be presented indeed to the King for his Royal Assent, but that being once given the King could not repeal or alter them. And as the Assemblies could not make permanent Laws without his Assent, so neither could he make a Law for them without theirs. He assur’d me I was totally mistaken. I did not think so however. And his Lordship’s Conversation having a little alarm’d me as to what might be the Sentiments of the Court concerning us, I wrote it down as soon as I return’d to my Lodgings. I recollected that about 20 Years before, a Clause in a Bill brought into Parliament by the Ministry, had propos’d to make the King’s Instructions Laws in the Colonies; but the Clause was thrown out by the Commons, for which we ador’d them as our Friends & Friends of Liberty, till by their Conduct towards us in 1765, it seem’d that they had refus’d that Point of Sovereignty to the King, only that they might reserve it for themselves.

# The Ballad of the King's Daughter

(OLD BALLAD)
'If my Love come to me over the water, Lowly born, and the King stood by, How should I greet him, a Monarch's daughter— Coldly, strangely, and haughtily?
If my Love come to me over the land, Lowly born, and the King stood by, Should I kiss him, or give him a frozen hand, Coldly, strangely, and haughtily?'
Many came to her over the water, Princes all, and the King stood by; But she gave them the scorn of a Monarch's daughter, Coldly, strangely, and haughtily.
Many came to her over the land, Princes all, and the King stood by; But she gave them to kiss a frozen hand, Coldly, strangely, and haughtily.
There came to her one from over the water, Lowly born, and the King stood by; And the warm blood flushed through the Monarch's daughter, And lo! she fell on his neck with a cry.
Many there be by land and water, (Wait and watch ye patiently) That gave their love to a Monarch's daughter, That bound their heart in the days gone by.
Hope is little by land or water, Wait and watch ye patiently. Gold wins not a Monarch's daughter, Neither jewels nor bravery.
Get ye fame by land and water, That your name live and do not die, And ye win the love of a Monarch's daughter… Little of blessing comes thereby.

# The Ballad of the Red Earl

First published in the Inclusive Edition of Kipling's Verse, 1919.
RED EARL, and will ye take for guide  The silly camel-birds, That ye bury your head in an Irish thorn,  On a desert of drifting words?
Ye have followed a man for a God, Red Earl,  As the Lord o’ Wrong and Right; But the day is done with the setting sun—  Will ye follow into the night?
He gave you your own old words, Red Earl,  For food on the wastrel way; Will ye rise and eat in the night, Red Earl,  That fed so full in the day?
Ye have followed fast, ye have followed far,  And where did the wandering lead? From the day that ye praised the spoken word  To the day ye must gloss the deed.
And as ye have given your hand for gain,  So must ye give in loss; And as ye ha’ come to the brink of the pit,  So must ye loup across.
For some be rogues in grain, Red Earl,  And some be rogues in fact, And rogues direct and rogues elect;  But all be rogues in pact.
Ye have cast your lot with these, Red Earl;  Take heed to where ye stand. Ye have tied a knot with your tongue, Red Earl,  That ye cannot loose with your hand.
Ye have travelled fast, ye have travelled far,  In the grip of a tightening tether, Till ye find at the end ye must take for friend  The quick and their dead together.
Ye have played with the Law between your lips,  And mouthed it daintilee; But the gist o' the speech is ill to teach,  For ye say: "Let wrong go free."
Red Earl, ye wear the Garter fair,  And gat your place from a King: Do ye make Rebellion of no account,  And Treason a little thing?
And have ye weighed your words, Red Earl,  That stand and speak so high? And is it good that the guilt o' blood,  Be cleared at the cost of a sigh?
And is it well for the sake of peace,  Our tattered Honour to sell, And higgle anew with a tainted crew --  Red Earl, and is it well?
Ye have followed fast, ye have followed far,  On a dark and doubtful way, And the road is hard, is hard, Red Earl,  And the price is yet to pay.   Ye shall pay that price as ye reap reward  For the toil of your tongue and pen -- In the praise of the blamed and the thanks of the shamed,  And the honour o' knavish men.   They scarce shall veil their scorn, Red Earl,  And the worst at the last shall be, When you tell your heart that it does not know  And your eye that it does not see.

# The Ballad of the Rover

From Three Sea Songs, 1919.
Come all you jolly sailor lads, that love the cannon's roar, Your good ship on the bring wave, your lass and glass ashore, How Nova Scotia's sons can fight you presently shall hear, And of gallant captain Godfrey in the Rover privateer
She was a brig of Liverpool, of just a hundred tons; She had a crew of fifty-five and mounted fourteen guns; When south against King George's foes she first began to steer, A smarter craft ne'er floated than the Rover privateer.
Five months our luck held up and down the Spanish Main; And many a prize we overhauled and sent to port again; Until the Spaniards laid their plans with us to interfere, And stop the merry cruizing of the Rover privateer.
The year was eighteen hundred, September tenth the day, As off Cape Blanco in a calm all motionless we lay, When the schooner Santa Rita and three gunboats did appear, Asweeping down to finish off the Rover privateer.
With muskets and with pistols we enaged them as they came, Till they closed in port and starboard to play the boarding game; Then we manned the sweeps, and spun her round without a thought of fear. And raked the Santa Ritta from the Rover privateer
At once we spun her back again; the gunboats were too close; But our gunners they were ready, and they gave the Dons their dose. They kept their distance after that and soon away did sheer, And left the Santa Ritta to the Rover privateer.
We fought her for three glasses and then we went aboard, Our gallant captain heading us with pistol and with sword; It did not take us very long her bloody decks to clear, And down came the Spanish colours to the Rover privateer!
We brought our prizes safe to port - we never lost a man; There never was a luckier cruise since cruising first began; We fought and beat four Spaniards - now did you ever hear The like of Captain Godfrey and the Rover privateer?

# The Black Wolf's Breed/Foreword

THE BLACK WOLF'S BREED

### FOREWORD

The feeble hound at my feet, stretching his crippled limbs to the blaze, dreams of the chase, and bays delighted in his sleep. Nor can I do more than dream and meditate and brood.
News of Fontenoy and the glory of Prince Maurice thrills my sluggish blood; again I taste the wild joys of conflict; the clashing steel, the battle shouts, the cries of dying men—yea, even the death scream of those sorely stricken comes as a balm to soothe my droning age. But the youthful vigor is gone. This arm could scarcely wield a bodkin; the old friend of many campaigns rusts in its scabbard, and God knows France had never more urgent need of keen and honest swords.
​Thus run my thoughts while I sit here like some decrepit priest, bending over my task, for though but an indifferent clerk I desire to leave this narrative for my children's children.
My early life was spent, as my children already know, for the most part in the American Colonies. Of my father I knew little, he being stationed at such remote frontier posts in the savage country that he would not allow my mother and myself to accompany him. So we led a secluded life in the garrison at Quebec. After the news came of his death somewhere out in the wilderness, my brave mother and I were left entirely alone. I was far too young then to realize my loss, and the memory of those peaceful years in America with my patient, accomplished mother remains to me now the very happiest of my life.
From her I learned to note and love the beauties of mountain and of stream. The broad blue St. Lawrence and the mighty forests on its banks were a constant source of delight to my childish fancy, and those memories cling to me, ineffaceable even by all these years of war and tumult.
When she died I drifted to our newer stations in the south, down the great river, and it is of that last year in Louisiana, while I was yet Captain de Mouret of Bienville's Guards, that I would have my children know.
Along the shore of Back Bay, on the southern coast of our Province of Louisiana, the dense marsh grass grows far out into the water, trembling and throbbing with the ebb and flow of every tide.
​Thicker than men at arms, it stands awhile erect where the shallow sea waves foam and fret; then climbing higher ground, it straggles away, thinner and thinner, in oaken-shaded solitudes long innocent of sun.
Beginning on the slopes, a vast mysterious forest, without village, path, or white inhabitant, stretches inland far and away beyond the utmost ken of man. There the towering pines range themselves in ever-receding colonnades upon a carpet smooth and soft as ever hushed the tread of Sultan's foot. Dripping from their topmost boughs the sunlight's splendor flickers on the floor, as if it stole through chancel window of some cool cathedral where Nature in proud humility worshiped at the foot of Nature's God.
It was in those wilds, somewhere, the fabled El Dorado lay; there bubbled the fountain of eternal youth: through that endless wilderness of forest, plain and hill flowed on in turbid majesty the waters of De Soto's mighty grave.

# The Bible of Amiens/Appendix III

APPENDIX III.
GENERAL PLAN OF ' OUR FATHERS HAVE TOLD US.
The first part of 'Our Fathers have told us,' now submitted to the public, is enough to show the proposed character and tendencies of the work, to which, contrary to my usual custom, I now invite subscription, because the degree in which I can increase its usefulness by engraved illustration must greatly depend on the known number of its supporters.
I do not recognize, in the present state of my health, any reason to fear more loss of general power, whether in conception or industry, than is the proper and appointed check of an old man's enthusiasm: of which, however, enough remains in me to warrant my readers against the abandonment of a purpose entertained already for twenty years.
The work, if I live to complete it, will consist of ten parts, each taking up some local division of Christian history, and gathering, towards their close, into united illustration of the power of the Church in the Thirteenth Century.
The present volume completes the first part, descriptive of the early Frank power, and of its final skill, in the Cathedral of Amiens.
​The second part, "Ponte della Pietra," will, I hope, do more for Theodoric and Verona than I have been able to do for Clovis and the first capital of France.
The third, "Ara Celi," will trace the foundations of the Papal power.
The fourth, "Ponte-a-Mare," and fifth, "Ponte Vecchio," will only with much difficulty gather into brief form what I have by me of scattered materials respecting Pisa and Florence.
The sixth, "Valle Crucis," will be occupied with the monastic architecture of England and Wales.
The seventh, "The Springs of Eure," will be wholly given to the cathedral of Chartres.
The eighth, "Domremy," to that of Rouen and the schools of architecture which it represents.
The ninth, "The Bay of Uri," to the Pastoral forms of Catholicism, reaching to our own times.
And the tenth, "The Bells of Cluse," to the pastoral Protestantism of Savoy, Geneva, and the Scottish border.
Each part will consist of four sections only; and one of them, the fourth, will usually be descriptive of some monumental city or cathedral, the resultant and remnant of the religious power examined in the preparatory chapters.
One illustration at least will be given with each chapter, and drawings made for others, which will be placed at once in the Sheffield museum for public reference, and engraved as I find support, or opportunity for binding with the completed work.
As in the instance of Chapter IV. of this first part, a smaller edition of the descriptive chapters will commonly be printed in reduced form for travellers and non-subscribers; but otherwise, I intend this work to be furnished to subscribers only.

# The Ballad Literature and Popular Music of the Olden Time/Volume 1/Reign of Elizabeth/O Mistress mine!

This tune is contained in both the editions of Morley’s Consort Lessons, 1599 and 1611. It is also in Queen Elizabeth’s Virginal Book, arranged by Byrd.
As it is to be found in print in 1599, it proves either that Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night was written in or before that year, or that, in accordance with the then prevailing custom, O Mistress mine was an old song, introduced into the play.
Mr. Payne Collier has proved Twelfth Night to have been an established favorite in February, 1602 (Annals of the Stage, i. 327), but we have no evidence of so early a date as 1599.
In act ii., sc. 3., the Clown asks, “Would you have a love-song, or a song of good life?”
Sir Toby. “A love-song, a love-song.”
