# The Poetical Works of the Right Hon. George Granville, Lord Lansdowne/70

TO MIRA.
Since truth and conſtancy are vain, Since neither love, nor ſenſe of pain, Nor force of reaſon, can perſuade, Then let example be obey’d. In courts and cities could you ſee5 How well the wanton fools agree,
Were all the curtains drawn, you ’d find Not one, perhaps, but who is kind. Minerva, naked from above, With Venus and the wise of Jove,10 Expoſing ev’ry beauty bare, Deſcended to the Trojan heir; Yet this was ſhe whom poets name Goddeſs of Chaſtity and Fame. Penelope, her lord away,15 Gave am‘’rous audiences all day; Now round the bowl the ſuitors ſit, With wine provoking mirth and wit; Then down they take the ſtubborn bow; Their ſtrength, it ſeems, ſhe needs muſt know:20 Thus twenty cheerful winters paſt; She ’s yet immortaliz’d for chaſte. Smile, Mira! then; reward my flame, And be as much ſecure of fame: By all thoſe matchleſs beauties fir’d,25 By my own matchleſs love inſpir’d, So will I ſing, ſuch wonders write, That, when th’ aſtoniſh’d world ſhall cite A nymph of ſpotleſs worth and fame, Mira ſhall be th’ immortal name.

TO MIRA. LOVING AT FIRST SIGHT.
I.
No warning of th’ approaching flame, Swiftly like ſudden death it came: Like travellers by lightning kill’d, I burnt the moment I beheld.
II.
In whom ſo many charms are plac’d,5 Is with a mind as nobly grac’d; The caſe, ſo ſhining to behold, Is fill’d with richeſt gems and gold.
III.
To what my eyes admir’d before I add a thouſand graces more,10 And Fancy blows into a flame The ſpark that from her beauty came.
IV.
The object thus improv’d by thought, By my own image I am caught: Pygmalion ſo, with fatal art, Poliſh’d the form that ſtung his heart.16
# The Poetical Works of the Right Hon. George Granville, Lord Lansdowne/72

TO MIRA.
I.
Thoughtful nights and reſtleſs waking, Oh the pains that we endure! Broken faith, unkind forſaking, Ever doubting, never ſure.
II.
Hopes deceiving, vain endeavours,5 What a race has Love to run! Falſe proteſting, fleeting favours, Ev’ry, ev’ry way undone.
III.
Still complaining and defending, Both to love, yet not agree,10 Fears tormenting, paſſion rending, Oh the pangs of jealouſy!
IV.
From ſuch painful ways of living, Ah! how ſweet! could love be free; Still preſenting, ſtill receiving, Fierce immortal ecſtasy.16

# The Seekers (Masefield)

Friends and loves we have none, nor wealth nor blessed abode,
But the hope of the City of God at the other end of the road.
Not for us are content, and quiet, and peace of mind,
For we go seeking a city that we shall never find.
There is no solace on earth for us--for such as we--
Who search for a hidden city that we shall never see.
Only the road and the dawn, the sun, the wind, and the rain,
And the watch fire under stars, and sleep, and the road again.
We seek the City of God, and the haunt where beauty dwells,
And we find the noisy mart and the sound of burial bells.
Never the golden city, where radiant people meet,
But the dolorous town where mourners are going about the street.
We travel the dusty road till the light of the day is dim,
And sunset shows us spires away on the world's rim.
We travel from dawn to dusk, till the day is past and by,
Seeking the Holy City beyond the rim of the sky.
Friends and loves we have none, nor wealth nor blest abode,
But the hope of the City of God at the other end of the road.

TO FLAVIA, Her gardens having eſcaped a flood that had laid all the country round under water.
What hands divine have planted and protect The torrent ſpares, and deluges reſpect; So when the waters o’er the world were ſpread, Covering each oak, and ev’ry mountain’s head, The choſen Patriarch ſail’d within his ark,5 Nor might the waves o’erwhelm the ſacred bark. The charming Flavia is no leſs, we find, The favourite of Heav’n than of mankind: The gods, like rivals, imitate our care, And vie with mortals to oblige the fair.10 These favours, thus beſtow’d on her alone, Are but the homage which they ſend her down. O Flavia! may thy virtue from above Be crown’d with bleſſings endleſs as my love!14

TO DAPHNE.
A Roman and a Greek our praiſe divide, Nor can we yet who beſt deſerv’d decide. Behold two mightier conquerors appear, Some for your wit, ſome for your eyes, declare: Debates ariſe which captivates us moſt,5 And none can tell the charm by which he ’s loſt. The bow and quiver does Diana bear, Cybele the lions, Pallas has the ſpear: Poets ſuch emblems to their gods aſſign, Hearts bleeding by the dart and pen be thine.10

TO MY FRIEND MR. JOHN DRYDEN, On his ſeveral excellent Tranſlations of the Ancient Poets.
As flow’rs tranſplanted from a ſouthern ſky But hardly bear, or in the raiſing die; Miſſing their native ſun at beſt retain But a faint odour, and ſurvive with pain; Thus ancient wit, in modern numbers taught,5 Wanting the warmth with which its author wrote, Is a dead image and a ſenſeleſs draught: While we transfuſe the nimble ſpirit flies, Eſcapes unſeen, evaporates, and dies. Who then to copy Roman wit deſire10 Muſt imitate with Roman force and fire,
In elegance of ſtyle and phraſe the ſame, And in the ſparkling genius and the flame: Whence we conclude, from thy tranſlated ſong, So juſt, ſo ſmooth, ſo ſoft, and yet ſo ſtrong,15 Celeſtial Poet! ſoul of Harmony! That ev’ry Genius was reviv’d in thee. Thy trumpet ſounds, the dead arc rais’d to light, Never to die, and take to heav’n their flight: Deck’d in thy verſe, as clad with rays, they ſhine,20 All glorify’d, immortal, and divine. As Britain in rich ſoil abounding wide, Furniſh’d for uſe, for luxury, and pride, Yet ſpreads her wanton ſails on ev’ry ſhore For foreign wealth, inſatiate ſtill of more,25 To her own wool the ſilks of Aſia joins, And to her plenteous harveſts Indian mines; So Dryden, not contented with the fame Os his own Works, tho’ an immortal name, To lands remote ſends forth his learned Muſe,30 The nobleſt ſeeds of foreign wit to chuſe. Feaſting our ſenſe ſo many various ways, Say, is ‘’t thy bounty, or thy thirſt of praiſe? That, by comparing others, all might ſee Who moſt excell’d are yet excell’d by thee.35

TO MY FRIEND DR. GARTH, IN HIS SICKNESS.
Machaon ſick! in ev’ry face we find His danger is the danger of mankind, Whoſe art protecting, Nature could expire But by a deluge or the general fire. More lives he ſaves than periſh in our wars,5 And faſter than a plague deſtroys repairs: The bold carouſer and advent’rous dame Nor fear the fever nor refuſe the flame: Safe in his ſkill, from all reſtraint ſet free But conſcious ſhame, remorſe, or piety.10 Sire of all arts! defend thy darling ſon; O! ſave the man whoſe life ’s ſo much our own; On whom, like Atlas, the whole world ’s reclin’d, And by reſtoring Garth preſerve mankind.14

TO MRS. GRANVILLE OF WOTTON IN BUCKINGHAMSHIRE, AFTERWARDS LADY CONWAY.
Love, like a tyrant whom no laws conſtrain, Now for ſome ages kept the world in pain; Beauty by vaſt deſtructions got renown, And lovers only by their rage were known; But Granville, mote auſpicious to mankind,5 Conqu’ring the heart, as much inſtructs the mind; Bleſs’d in the fate of her victorious eyes, Seeing we love, and hearing we grow wiſe: So Rome, for wiſdom as for conquest fam’d, Improv’d with arts whom ſhe by arms had tam’d.10
Above the clouds is plac’d this glorious light, Nothing lies hid from her inquiring ſight; Athens and Rome for arts reſtor’d rejoice, Their language takes new muſic from her voice. Learning and Love in the ſame ſeat we find,15 So bright her eyes, and ſo adorn’d her mind. Long had Minerva govern’d in the ſkies, But now deſcends confeſs’d to human eyes: Behold in Granville that inſpiring queen Whom learned Athens ſo ador’d unſeen.20

TO MRS. AFRA BEHN.
Two warrior chiefs the voice of Fame divide, Who beſt deserv’d not Plutarch could decide: Behold two mightier conquerors appear, Some for your wit, ſome for your eyes, declare; Debates ariſe which captivates us moſt,5 And none can tell the charm by which he ’s loſt. The bow and quiver does Diana bear, Venus the dove, Pallas the ſhield and ſpear: Poets ſuch emblems to their gods aſſign; Hearts bleeding by the dart and pen be thine.10

TO THE COUNTESS OF NEWBOURGH, Inſiſting earneſtly to be told who I meant by Mira.
With Mira’s charms, and my extreme deſpair, Long had my Muſe amuz’d the reader’s ear, My friends with pity heard the mournful ſound, And all inquir’d from whence the fatal wound; Th’ aſtoniſh’d world beheld an endleſs flame,5 Ne’er to be quench’d, unknowing whence it came: So ſcatter’d fire from ſcorch’d Veſuvius flies, Unknown the ſource from whence thoſe flames ariſe. Egyptian Nile ſo ſpreads its waters round, O’erflowing far and near, its head unſound.10 Mira herſelf, touch’d with the moving ſong, Would needs be told to whom thoſe plaints belong;
My tim’rous tongue, not daring to confeſs, Trembling to name, would fain have had her gueſs: Impatient of excuſe ſhe urges ſtill,15 Perſiſts in her demand; ſhe must, ſhe will: If ſilent, I am threaten’d with her hate; If I obey—ah! what may be my fate? Uncertain to conceal or to unfold, She ſmiles—the goddeſs ſmiles!—and I grow bold.20 My vows to Mira all were meant to thee, The praiſe, the love, the matchleſs conſtancy. ’T was thus of old, when all th’ immortal dames Were grac’d by poets each with ſev’ral names; For Venus Cytherea was invok’d,25 Altars for Pallas to Tritonia ſmok’d: Such names were theirs; and thou, the moſt divine, Moſt lov’d, of heav’nly beauties—Mira ’s thine.28

TO MY DEAR KINSMAN CHARLES LORD LANSDOWNE, Upon the bombardment of the town of Granville in Normandy by the Engliſh fleet.
Tho’ built by gods, conſum’d by hoſtile flame Troy bury’d lies, yet lives the Trojan name; And ſo ſhall thine, tho’ with theſe walls were loſt All the records our anceſtors could boaſt. For Latium conquer’d, and for Turnus ſlain,5 Æneas lives, tho’ not one ſtone remain Where he aroſe. Nor art thou leſs renown’d For thy loud triumphs on Hungarian ground. Those arms which, for nine centuries, had brav’d The wrath of Time, on antique ſtone engrav’d,10 Now torn by mortars, ſtand yet undefac’d On nobler trophies, by thy valour rais’d: Safe on thy Eagle’s wings, they ſoar above The rage of war or thunder to remove, Borne by the bird of Cæſar and of Jove.15

* ↑ He was created a Count of the Empire, the family arms to be borne for ever upon the breaſt of the Imperial Spread Eagle.
# The Sentimental Songster/The Swiss Boy

THE SWISS BOY.
Come, arouse thee, arouse thee, my brave Swiss boy! Take thy pail, and to labour away, Come, arouse thee, arouse thee, my brave Swiss boy! Take thy pail, and to labour away. The sun is up, with ruddy beam, The kine are thronging to the stream. Come, arouse thee, &c.
And not I, am not I, say, a merry Swiss boy, When I hie to the mountain away? And not I, am not I, say, a merry Swiss boy, When I hie to the mountain away? For there a shepherd maiden dear, Awaits my song with listening ear. Am not I, &c.
Then at night, then at night, O, a gay Swiss boy! I’m away to my comrades, away. Then at night, then at night, O, a gay Swiss boy! I’m away to my comrades, away. The cup we fill, the wine is passed, In friendship round, until at last, With "Good night," and "Good night," goes the happy Swiss boy To his home and he slumbers away.
# The Sentimental Songster/Up in the Morning Early

UP IN THE MORNING EARLY.
Cauld blaws the win’ frae north to south, And drift is driving sairly? The sheep are couring i’ the heugh, O, sirs! it’s winter fairly. Now up in the morning’s no for me, Up in the morning early? I’d rather gang supperless to my bed, Then rise in the morning early.
Rude rairs the blast amang the woods, The branches tirlin barely? Amang the chimley taps it thuds, And frost is nippin sairly. Now up in the morning’s no for me, Up in the morning early? To sit a’ night I’d rather agree. Than rise in the morning early.
The sun peeps our yon southlan hill, Like ony timorous carlie? Just blinks awee then sinks again, And that we find severely. Now up in the morning’s no for me, Up in the morning early; When sua’ blaws (illegible text) the chimley cheek, Wha’d rise in the morning early.
Nae linties lilt on (illegible text) (illegible text) (illegible text) Poor things, they (illegible text) (illegible text)? In cauldrife quarters a’ the night A’ day they feed but sparely. Now up in the morning’s no for me, Up in the morning early? What fate can be war in the (illegible text) (illegible text) Than rise in the morning early.
​A cosey house and a cantie wife, Keeps aye a body cheery; And pantry stow’d wi’ meal and meat, It answers unco rarely. But up in the morning, na, na, na, Up in the morning early; The gowans maun glint ou bank an' brae, Ere I rise in the morning early.

# The Sentimental Songster/With an Honest Old Friend

WITH AN HONEST OLD FRIEND.
With an honest old friend, and a merry old song, And a flask of old port, let me sit the night long, And laugh at the malice of those who repine, That they must swig porter, whilst I can drink wine
I envy no mortal, though ever so great, Nor scorn I a wretch for his lowly estate: But what I abhor, and esteem as a curse, Is poorness of spirit, not poorness in purse.
Then dare to be generous, dauntless, and gay, Let’s merrily pass life’s remainder away: Upheld by our friends, we our foes may despise, For the more we are envied the higher we rise.

* ↑ Dumps, or Dumbs, made use of to express a fit of the sullens. Some have pretended that it is derived from Dumops a king of Egypt, that built a pyramid and dy'd of melancholy. So Mopes after the same manner, is thought to have come from Merops another Egyptian king, that dy'd of the same distemper; but our English antiquaries have conjectur'd, that dumps, which is, a grievous heaviness of spirits, comes from the word dumplin, the heaviest kind of pudding that is eaten in this country, much used in Norfolk, and other counties of England.

# The Principles of Parliamentary Representation/Chapter I

Chapter I.
Desiderata.
The chief desiderata seem to be as follows:—
(1)That each Elector should have the same chance of being represented in the House. (Under any system, some Electors must be left unrepresented.)
(2)That each Elector, who is represented at all, should be represented by the same fraction of a Member. Or (which is the same thing) that each Member should represent the same number of Electors. Or (which is the same thing) that the number of Electors, needed to secure the return of a Member, should be uniform throughout the Kingdom.
(3)That the number of unrepresented Electors should be as small as possible.
(4)That the proportions of political parties in the House should be, as nearly as possible, the same as in the whole body of Electors.
​(5)That the process of voting should be as simple as possible.
(6)That the process of counting the votes, and announcing the result, should be as simple as possible.
(7)That the waste of votes, caused by more votes being given for a Candidate than are needed for his return, should be as far as possible prevented.
(8)That the result of a local Election should depend as much as possible on the wishes of the Electors in that District, and as little as possible on chance.
(9)That the Electors in a District should be, as far as possible, uninfluenced by the results of Elections in other Districts.
