# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Kelway, Joseph

From volume 2 of the work.
​KELWAY, Joseph, a pupil of Geminiani, was organist of St. Michael's, Cornhill, which he resigned in 1736 on being appointed organist of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields vice Weldon deceased. Upon the arrival of Queen Charlotte in England Kelway was appointed her instructor on the harpsichord. As a harpsichord player he was remarkable for neatness of touch and rapidity of execution, and for his ability in performing Scarlatti's pieces. As an organist he excelled in extemporaneous performance, of which he was such a master as to attract the most eminent musicians in London (amongst them Handel) to the church in order to hear him. Burney (iv. 665) characterises his playing as full of a 'masterly wildness … bold, rapid, and fanciful.' His published harpsichord sonatas are very inferior to his extemporaneous effusions. He died in 1782.

From volume 1 of the work.
​BASSANI, Giovanni Battista, an eminent violin-player and composer, was born at Padua about 1657. He lived for some years at Bologna as conductor of the cathedral-music, and from 1685 in a similar position at Ferrara, where he was a member of the 'Accademia della Morte.' He was also made a member, and in 1682 'principe' of the 'Accademia dei Filarmonici' of Bologna. From 1680 to 1710 he published six operas and thirty-one vocal and instrumental works, viz. masses, cantatas for one, two, or three voices with instruments, and two sets of sonatas for two violins with bass—a complete list is given by Fétis. These works, copies of which are now very rare, are said to be written in a noble pathetic style, and to be marked by good and correct workmanship. Kent borrowed from them largely. Amongst others the chorus 'Thy righteousness,' in his anthem 'Lord what love,' is taken from Bassani's Magnificat in G minor with very slight alteration. The 'Hallelujahs' in 'Hearken unto this' are transcribed note for note from Bassani's 'Alma Mater.' But Kent was a sad appropriator.

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Basset-Horn

From volume 1 of the work.
​BASSET-HORN (Fr. Cor de Bassette; Ital. Corno di Bassetto; Germ. Bassethorn).
Mozart is the composer who has written most for this instrument. In one great work, his 'Requiem,' it replaces the clarinet, there being independent parts for two players. Perhaps the finest instance of its use is in the opening of the 'Recordare.' In his opera 'Clemenza di Tito' it is also employed, and a fine obbligato is allotted to it in the song 'Non piu di fiori.' In his chamber music there are often parts for two or even three bassethorns.

# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Nephihah

​NEPHIHAH. The second chief judge of the Nephite republic. Of his birth and early life nothing is said, but at the time of his elevation to the chief judgeship he is called "a wise man who was among the elders of the church.” It appears that when Alma found the combined duties of chief judge and president of the church too excessive for one man to properly perform, he selected Nephihah as his successor in the first named office (B. C. 83) and that this selection was ratified by the voice of the people. The principal events that occurred among the Nephites during Nephihah's judgeship were:
The destruction of Ammonihah by the Lamanites (B. C. 81).
The Ammonites established in Jershon (B . C . 77).
The defection of the Zoramites and the invasion of the Lamanites under Zarahemnah (B.C. 74).
The rebellion under Amalickiah and the Lamanite attack on Ammonihah and Noah (B.C. 73).
Contention between the people of Lehi and Morianton (B. C. 68).
The years that Nephihah judged the Nephites were of great material progress. Many new cities were founded, and a wide stretch of country reclaimed from the wilderness. He passed away to the realms of the blest in B. C. 68, having, according to the sacred historian, "filled the judgment seat with perfect uprightness before God." ​Alma had such great confidence in him that he desired to intrust him with the sacred records. This honor and responsibility Nephihah declined, and Alma conferred these treasures upon his son Helaman. Nephihah was succeeded in the judgment seat by his son Pahoran.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Nephites

​NEPHITES, THE. A people descended from Manasseh, the son of Joseph, named after Nephi, the fourth son of Lehi, who, in connection with the Lamanites, occupied the American continent ​from about B. C. 590 to A. C. 385, when they were destroyed by the latter race. Originally they were the descendants of Nephi, Sam, Jacob, Joseph, and Zoram, but in later ages the distinction was one of religion and government more than of pedigree; hosts of the two peoples having, at different times, seceded from their own races and fused and intermixed with the other.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Nephihah, City of

​NEPHIHAH. CITY OF. We fancy there were two cities of this name; one situated on the southern frontier, some distance east of Manti and the Sidon (Alma, 56:25); the other on the Atlantic seaboard, north of Moroni (Alma, 50: 14). Of this latter city it is written that in the year B. C. 72 the Nephites began a foundation for a city between the city of Moroni and the city of Aaron, joining the city of Aaron and Moroni; and they called the name of the city or land, Nephihah. This is the region again referred to in chapters 51, 59 and 62 of the Book of Alma. It was captured by the Lamanites B. C. 67 and retained by them until B. C. 61, when Moroni retook it by a night surprise. Elder Orson Pratt, in a footnote to chapter 56, draws attention to the fact that the Nephihah there mentioned is not the one spoken of in the other chapters.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Nephihah, Plains of

​NEPHIHAH, PLAINS OF. Plains near that city of Nephihah mentioned in Alma, ch. 62. Here Moroni desired the Lamanites to meet him in battle, but they, knowing the great courage of the Nephites and the greatness of their numbers, kept within the walls of the city.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Ness

​NESS. A grain, kind unknown, mentioned, in connection with wheat, barley, and sheum, as being planted by the Nephites on the land of Lehi-Nephi. (Mosiah, 9:9.)
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Nephi, the son of Nephi, the disciple

​NEPHI, THE SON OF NEPHI, THE DISCIPLE. This holy man appears to have arrived at the age of manhood when the Messiah visited the Nephites, as (if we get a right understanding of the sacred records,) the plates, with the other holy things, were taken charge of by him very shortly after that glorious appearing. It is presumable he was then a young man, as he retained them seventy-six years, or until A. C. 110, when his son Amos received them. His duty, as the recorder of the doings of his people, was a most happy one; he had nothing but good to relate of their lives and actions, and to record that perfect peace prevailed on all the vast continent. The Nephites increased in numbers (and Lamanites there were none), they prospered in circumstances, they grew in material wealth, all of which was held in common, according to the order of God; they colonized and spread far abroad; they rebuilt their ancient capital and many other cities, and founded many new ones; but, above all, they were rich in heavenly treasures, the Holy Spirit of God reigned in every heart, and illumined every soul. It was a foretaste of the Millennium ​to the whole people of half the world, and when Nephi died (A. C. 110) this inexpressibly happy, heavenly state still continued in undiminished warmth of Divine and brotherly love and strength of abiding faith. All the generation to which Nephi belonged entered in at the straight gate, and walked the narrow way to the Eternal City of God, not one of them was lost.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Nimrah

​NIMRAH. A Jaredite, the son of Akish. Out of jealousy Akish had starved to death one of his sons, a brother of Nimrah, and the latter being angry with his father, gathered a small number of men and fled to the exiled king, Omer, who had established himself on the Atlantic Coast, probably in the region we call New England. What afterwards became of Nimrah we are not told. (Ether, 9:8,9.)
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Nephihah, Land of

​NEPHIHAH, LAND OF. The region on the Atlantic seaboard immediately surrounding the city of the same name. It appears to have been bounded by the land of Moroni on the south, while that of Aaron was contiguous in another quarter (probably north).

# A Catechism on the Thirty-nine Articles of the Church of England/Introduction

A CATECHISM
on
THE THIRTY-NINE ARTICLES.
INTRODUCTION.
For what purpose were the Articles of Religion drawn up?
"For the avoiding of diversities of opinion, and for establishing of consent touching true religion."
Express this in other words.
They were made in order to avoid, or do away with, differences of opinion in religion, and to cause persons to agree in holding the truth.
How is this done in these Articles?
Partly by laying down the truth we are to hold fast, and partly by pointing out the errors we are to avoid.
By whom were these Articles first agreed upon?
By the archbishops and bishops of both provinces in England, and by the whole clergy.
What do you mean by "both provinces?"
England is divided, for purposes connected with ​the Church, into two provinces, that of Canterbury and that of York; of which the archbishops of Canterbury and York are the governors.
What is an archbishop?
A bishop who is placed over other bishops.
Where and when did the archbishops, bishops, and clergy agree to these Articles?
"In the convocation holden at London in the year 1562."
What is a convocation?
A synod or meeting of the bishops and clergy of the provinces.
How could the whole clergy meet together to agree to these Articles?
The clergy of each diocese met together beforehand, and sent deputies to speak for them at the convocation.
What do you mean by a diocese?
A portion of country under the government of one bishop.
Were the articles originally published only by the authority of the bishops and clergy?
No: they were also assented to by Elizabeth, the queen of England at the time, and published by her authority.
What further authority have they since received as regards the Church of England?
By what authority were the Articles, as contained in the Prayer-Book, set forth in America?
They were "established by the bishops, clergy, and laity of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, in convention."
When was this done?
On the twelfth day of September, in the year of our Lord 1801.
Are the laity required to subscribe to the thirty-nine Articles?
The Church does not make any such demand upon her lay members.
How many Articles are there?
Thirty-nine.
Into what parts may you conveniently divide them?
Into five parts.
Give the subjects of the five parts.
1. On the doctrine concerning God.
2. On the rule of faith.
3. On the spiritual condition of man.
4. On the Church and its ordinances.
5. On the civil duties of members of the Church.
# A Channel Passage and Other Poems/The Turning of the Tide

THE TURNING OF THE TIDE
Storm, strong with all the bitter heart of hate,
Smote England, now nineteen dark years ago,
As when the tide's full wrath in seaward flow
Smites and bears back the swimmer. Fraud and fate
Were leagued against her: fear was fain to prate
Of honour in dishonour, pride brought low,
And humbleness whence holiness must grow,
And greatness born of shame to be so great.
The winter day that withered hope and pride
Shines now triumphal on the turning tide That sets once more our trust in freedom free,
That leaves a ruthless and a truthless foe
And all base hopes that hailed his cause laid low,
And England's name a light on land and sea.
February 27, 1900.
# A Channel Passage and Other Poems/To a Baby Kinswoman

Previously printed in The Nineteenth Century, December 1894, pp. 1008-1010.
TO A BABY KINSWOMAN
Love, whose light thrills heaven and earth,
Smiles and weeps upon thy birth,
Child, whose mother's love-lit eyes
Watch thee but from Paradise.
Sweetest sight that earth can give,
Sweetest light of eyes that live,
Ours must needs, for hope withdrawn,
Hail with tears thy soft spring dawn.
Light of hope whose star hath set,
Light of love whose sun lives yet, Holier, happier, heavenlier love
Breathes about thee, burns above,
Surely, sweet, than ours can be,
Shed from eyes we may not see,
Though thine own may see them shine
Night and day, perchance, on thine.
Sun and moon that lighten earth
Seem not fit to bless thy birth:
Scarce the very stars we know
Here seem bright enough to show Whence in unimagined skies
Glows the vigil of such eyes.
Theirs whose heart is as a sea
Swoln with sorrowing love of thee
Fain would share with thine the sight
Seen alone of babes aright, Watched of eyes more sweet than flowers
Sleeping or awake: but ours
Can but deem or dream or guess
Thee not wholly motherless. Might they see or might they know
What nor faith nor hope may show,
We whose hearts yearn toward thee now
Then were blest and wise as thou.
Had we half thy knowledge,—had
Love such wisdom,—grief were glad,
Surely, lit by grace of thee;
Life were sweet as death may be.
Now the law that lies on men
Bids us mourn our dead: but then Heaven and life and earth and death,
Quickened as by God's own breath,
All were turned from sorrow and strife:
Earth and death were heaven and life.
All too far are then and now
Sundered: none may be as thou.
Yet this grace is ours—a sign
Of that goodlier grace of thine,
Sweet, and thine alone—to see
Heaven, and heaven's own love, in thee. Bless them, then, whose eyes caress
Thee, as only thou canst bless.
Comfort, faith, assurance, love,
Shine around us, brood above,
Fear grows hope, and hope grows wise,
Thrilled and lit by children's eyes.
Yet in ours the tears unshed,
Child, for hope that death leaves dead,
Needs must burn and tremble; thou
Knowest not, seest not, why nor how, More than we know whence or why
Comes on babes that laugh and lie
Half asleep, in sweet-lipped scorn,
Light of smiles outlightening morn,
Whence enkindled as is earth
By the dawn's less radiant birth
All the body soft and sweet
Smiles on us from face to feet
When the rose-red hands would fain
Reach the rose-red feet in vain. Eyes and hands that worship thee
Watch and tend, adore and see
All these heavenly sights, and give
Thanks to see and love and live.
Yet, of all that hold thee dear,
Sweet, the dearest smiles not here.
Thine alone is now the grace,
Haply, still to see her face;
Thine, thine only now the sight
Whence we dream thine own takes light. Yet, though faith and hope live blind,
Yet they live in heart and mind
Strong and keen as truth may be:
Yet, though blind as grief were we
Inly for a weeping-while,
Sorrow's self before thy smile
Smiles and softens, knowing that yet,
Far from us though heaven be set,
Love, bowed down for thee to bless,
Dares not call thee motherless.
May 1894.
# A Channel Passage and Other Poems/The Passing of the Hawthorn

THE PASSING OF THE HAWTHORN
The coming of the hawthorn brings on earth
Heaven: all the spring speaks out in one sweet word,
And heaven grows gladder, knowing that earth has heard.
Ere half the flowers are jubilant in birth,
The splendour of the laughter of their mirth
Dazzles delight with wonder: man and bird
Rejoice and worship, stilled at heart and stirred
With rapture girt about with awe for girth.
The passing of the hawthorn takes away
Heaven: all the spring falls dumb, and all the soul Sinks down in man for sorrow. Night and day
Forego the joy that made them one and whole.
The change that falls on every starry spray
Bids, flower by flower, the knell of springtime toll.
# A Channel Passage and Other Poems/The Promise of the Hawthorn

THE PROMISE OF THE HAWTHORN
Spring sleeps and stirs and trembles with desire
Pure as a babe's that nestles toward the breast.
The world, as yet an all unstricken lyre,
With all its chords alive and all at rest,
Feels not the sun's hand yet, but feels his breath
And yearns for love made perfect. Man and bird,
Thrilled through with hope of life that casts out death,
Wait with a rapturous patience till his word
Speak heaven, and flower by flower and tree by tree
Give back the silent strenuous utterance. Earth, Alive awhile and joyful as the sea,
Laughs not aloud in joy too deep for mirth,
Presageful of perfection of delight,
Till all the unborn green buds be born in white.
# A Channel Passage and Other Poems/The Transvaal

Previously printed in The Times, October 11th, 1899, p. 7.
THE TRANSVAAL
Patience, long sick to death, is dead. Too long
Have sloth and doubt and treason bidden us be
What Cromwell's England was not, when the sea
To him bore witness given of Blake how strong
She stood, a commonweal that brooked no wrong
From foes less vile than men like wolves set free
Whose war is waged where none may fight or flee—
With women and with weanlings. Speech and song
Lack utterance now for loathing. Scarce we hear
Foul tongues that blacken God's dishonoured name With prayers turned curses and with praise found shame
Defy the truth whose witness now draws near
To scourge these dogs, agape with jaws afoam,
Down out of life. Strike, England, and strike home.
October 9, 1899.
# A Channel Passage and Other Poems/Three Weeks Old

THREE WEEKS OLD
Three weeks since there was no such rose in being;
Now may eyes made dim with deep delight
See how fair it is, laugh with love, and seeing
Praise the chance that bids us bless the sight.
Three weeks old, and a very rose of roses,
Bright and sweet as love is sweet and bright.
Heaven and earth, till a man's life wanes and closes,
Show not life or love a lovelier sight.
Three weeks past have renewed the rosebright creature
Day by day with life, and night by night. Love, though fain of its every faultless feature, Finds not words to match the silent sight.
# A Channel Passage and Other Poems/To George Frederick Watts

Previously printed in The Athenæum, February 27th, 1897, p. 278.
TO GEORGE FREDERICK WATTS
On the Eightieth Anniversary of his Birth, February 23, 1897
High thought and hallowed love, by faith made one,
Begat and bare the sweet strong-hearted child,
Art, nursed of Nature; earth and sea and sun
Saw Nature then more godlike as she smiled.
Life smiled on death, and death on life: the Soul
Between them shone, and soared above their strife,
And left on Time's unclosed and starry scroll
A sign that quickened death to deathless life.
Peace rose like Hope, a patient queen, and bade
Hell's firstborn, Faith, abjure her creed and die; And Love, by life and death made sad and glad,
Gave Conscience ease, and watched Good Will pass by.
All these make music now of one man's name,
Whose life and age are one with love and fame.
# A Channel Passage and Other Poems/Trafalgar Day

Previously printed in The Nineteenth Century, November 1895, pp. 713-714
TRAFALGAR DAY
Sea, that art ours as we are thine, whose name
Is one with England's even as light with flame,
Dost thou as we, thy chosen of all men, know
This day of days when death gave life to fame?
Dost thou not kindle above and thrill below
With rapturous record, with memorial glow,
Remembering this thy festal day of fight,
And all the joy it gave, and all the woe?
Never since day broke flowerlike forth of night
Broke such a dawn of battle. Death in sight Made of the man whose life was like the sun
A man more godlike than the lord of light.
There is none like him, and there shall be none.
When England bears again as great a son,
He can but follow fame where Nelson led.
There is not and there cannot be but one.
As earth has but one England, crown and head
Of all her glories till the sun be dead,
Supreme in peace and war, supreme in song,
Supreme in freedom, since her rede was read,
Since first the soul that gave her speech grew strong
To help the right and heal the wild world's wrong,
So she hath but one royal Nelson, born
To reign on time above the years that throng.
The music of his name puts fear to scorn,
And thrills our twilight through with sense of morn:
As England was, how should not England be?
No tempest yet has left her banner torn.
No year has yet put out the day when he
Who lived and died to keep our kingship free Wherever seas by warring winds are worn
Died, and was one with England and the sea.
October 21, 1895.
