# The Complete Poems of Paul Laurence Dunbar/The Conquerors

THE CONQUERORS
THE BLACK TROOPS IN CUBA
Round the wide earth, from the red field your valour has won, Blown with the breath of the far-speaking gun,  Goes the word. Bravely you spoke through the battle cloud heavy and dun. Tossed though the speech toward the mist-hidden sun,  The world heard.
Hell would have shrunk from you seeking it fresh from the fray, Grim with the dust of the battle, and gray  From the fight. Heaven would have crowned you, with crowns not of gold but of bay, Owning you fit for the light of her day,  Men of night.
Far through the cycle of years and of lives that shall come, There shall speak voices long muffled and dumb,  Out of fear. And through the noises of trade and the turbulent hum, Truth shall rise over the militant drum,  Loud and clear.
Then on the cheek of the honester nation that grows, All for their love of you, not for your woes,  There shall lie Tears that shall be to your souls as the dew to the rose; Afterward thanks, that the present yet knows  Not to ply!

# The Complete Poems of Paul Laurence Dunbar/The Dance

THE DANCE
Heel and toe, heel and toe,  That is the song we sing; Turn to your partner and curtsey low,  Balance and forward and swing. Corners are draughty and meadows are white, This is the game for a winter's night.
Hands around, hands around,  Trip it, and not too slow; Clear is the fiddle and sweet its sound,  Keep the girls' cheeks aglow. Still let your movements be dainty and light, This is the game for a winter's night.
Back to back, back to back,  Turn to your place again; Never let lightness nor nimbleness lack,  Either in maidens or men. Time hasteth ever, beware of its flight, Oh, what a game for a winter's night!
Slower now, slower now,  Softer the music sighs; Look, there are beads on your partner's brow  Though there be light in her eyes. Lead her away and her grace requite, So goes the game on a winter's night.

# The Complete Poems of Paul Laurence Dunbar/The Death of the First Born

THE DEATH OF THE FIRST BORN
Cover him over with daisies white  And eke with the poppies red, Sit with me here by his couch to-night,  For the First-Born, Love, is dead.
Poor little fellow, he seemed so fair  As he lay in my jealous arms; Silent and cold he is lying there  Stripped of his darling charms.
Lusty and strong he had grown forsooth,  Sweet with an infinite grace, Proud in the force of his conquering youth,  Laughter alight in his face.
Oh, but the blast, it was cruel and keen,  And ah, but the chill it was rare; The look of the winter-kissed flow'r you've seen  When meadows and fields were bare.
Can you not wake from this white, cold sleep  And speak to me once again? True that your slumber is deep, so deep,  But deeper by far is my pain.
Cover him over with daisies white,  And eke with the poppies red, Sit with me here by his couch to-night,  For the First-Born, Love, is dead.

THE COLORED BAND
Wen de colo'ed ban' comes ma'chin' down de street, Don't you people stan' daih starin'; lif yo' feet!  Ain't dey playin'? Hip, hooray!  Stir yo' stumps an' cleah de way, Fu' de music dat dey mekin' can't be beat.
Oh, de major man's a-swingin' of his stick, An' de pickaninnies crowdin' roun' him thick;  In his go'geous uniform,  He 's de lightnin' of de sto'm, An' de little clouds erroun' look mighty slick.
You kin hyeah a fine perfo'mance w'en de white ban's serenade,  An' dey play dey high-toned music mighty sweet, But hit 's Sousa played in ragtime, an' hit 's Rastus on Parade,  Wen de colo'ed ban' comes ma'chin' down de street.
Wen de colo'ed ban' comes ma'chin' down de street You kin hyeah de ladies all erroun' repeat:  "Ain't dey handsome? Ain't dey gran'?  Ain't dey splendid? Goodness, lan'! Wy dey's pu'fect f'om dey fo'heads to dey feet!" An' sich steppin' to de music down de line, 'T ain't de music by itself dat meks it fine,  Hit's de walkin', step by step,  An' de keepin' time wid "Hep," Dat it mek a common ditty soun' divine.
Oh, de white ban' play hits music, an' hit 's mighty good to hyeah, An' it sometimes leaves a ticklin' in yo' feet; But de hea't goes into bus'ness fu' to he'p erlong de eah,  Wen de colo'ed ban' goes ma'chin' down de street.

MOORE, George Henry, American historical writer: b. Concord, N. H., 20 April 1823; d. New York, 5 May 1892. In 1839 he removed to New York and was graduated at the University of the City of New York (now New York University) in 1843. As assistant to his father, Jacob Bailey Moore (q.v.), librarian of the New York Historical Society, he had been long connected with that institution when, in 1849, he succeeded to his father's position, which he held until 1872, and then became first superintendent of the Lenox Library. This office he retained until his death. His contributions to the proceedings of historical societies and to historical magazines were numerous. He also published ‘The Treason of Charles Lee’ (1858); ‘The Employment of Negroes in the Revolutionary Army’ (1862); ‘Notes on the History of Slavery in Massachusetts’ (1866); and ‘A History of the Jurisprudence of New York’ (1872).

MONTEZ, Lola (assumed name of Marie Dolores Eliza Rosanna Gilbert), adventuress: b. Limerick, Ireland, 1818; d. Astoria, N. Y., 17 Jan. 1861. Her parents took the child to India, where her father died, and her mother, again marrying, sent Lola back to Europe. In 1837 she married a Captain James, went to India with him, tired of him and returned to England in 1842. She next became a public dancer, performing in London and in cities of the Continent, and in 1846 went to Munich, where she fascinated the old artist-king Louis I of Bavaria who made her his mistress, created her Countess of Landsfield and granted her a large annuity. For a while she also exercised
great political power, which she directed against the Jesuits and in favor of liberalism; but with the outbreak of the Revolution of 1848 she was once more set adrift. In London she married a guardsman, Stafford Heald, was soon divorced from him and in 1851 sailed for the United States. After touring through this country with a play called ‘Lola Montez in Bavaria,’ she went to Australia, returned here, was twice married in California and in 1858 lectured in New York where she settled and spent her last days in rescue work among women. Her writings include ‘Lectures,’ with an autobiography, and ‘The Arts of Beauty’ (1858).

Edition of 1920. See also John Morgan (physician) on Wikipedia, John Morgan on Wikisource, and the disclaimer.
Morgan, John, American physician: b. Philadelphia, 10 June 1735: d. Philadelphia, 15 Oct 1789. He was graduated (1751) at the College of Philadelphia (now known as the University of Pennsylvania) and served an apprenticeship in medicine under Dr. John Redman. He entered the provincial army as surgeon and lieutenant, resigning his commission to continue (1760) his medical studies in London and Edinburgh, receiving the degree of M.D., 1763. During a visit to Paris he was made member of the Academy of Surgery for clever anatomical preparation of a kidney. In Italy he was made member of the Society of Belles-Lettres, Rome, and on his return to London was elected Fellow of the Royal Society and licentiate of the Colleges of Physicians of both London and Edinburgh. Returning (1765) to Philadelphia he laid the plan for establishing a medical school in that city, which he had formulated, at the request of the trustees of the College of Philadelphia. The plan adopted, he was elected professor of the theory and practice of medicine, and, three years later, five young men received medical degrees—the first conferred in America. In 1775 he was appointed by Congress director-general and physician-in-chief to the general hospital of the American army, and reorganized the hospitals of the army. But lack of supplies for the sick and wounded made his energetic efforts largely ineffective and complaints to Washington caused Congress (1777) to dismiss him without reason. A committee of that body, however, after an investigation, honorably acquitted him of blame, while Washington wrote him: "No fault could be found with the economy of the hospitals during your directorship." He wrote 'A Discourse on the Introduction of Medical Schools in America' (1765), and his dissertation 'The Reciprocal Advantages of a Perpetual Union between Great Britain and her American Colonies' (1766) won him a gold medal from England.
# The Encyclopedia Americana (1920)/Morisot, Berthe

Edition of 1920. See also Berthe Morisot on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
MORISOT, mō'rē-sō, Berthe (Madame Eugène Manet), French painter: b. 1840; d. 1895. As great-granddaughter of Fragonard she inherited from this great French painter his gracefulness, his spirited elegance and other fascinating qualities. Her natural talents she placed under the influence of Corot, Renoir, Dégas and Manet. Having married Eugène Manet, brother of the great painter, she exhibited with the “Impressionists,” but always signed her pictures Berthe Morisot, delicately respecting Manet's great name. She acquired her own reputation by distinguished and beautiful coloring and dash. She was as much admired for her beauty as for her talent. A French critic sums up her qualities as follows: “All her work is bathed in brightness, in azure, in sunlight; it is a woman's work, but it has a strength, a freedom of touch and an originality, which one would hardly have expected. Her water-colors, particularly, belong to a superior art: some notes of color suffice to indicate sky, sea or a forest background and everything shows a sure and masterly fancy, for which our time can furnish no analogy. A series of Berthe Morisot's pictures looks like a veritable bouquet, whose brilliancy is less due to the color-schemes which are comparatively soft (gray and blue) than to the absolute correctness of the values. A hundred canvases and perhaps 300 water-colors attest this talent of high mark. Normandy coasts, scenes with pearly skies and turquoise horizons, radiant gardens of Nice, fruit-laden orchards, girls in white dresses, with big hats wreathed in flowers, young women in ball-dresses and flowers are the favorite themes of this artist.”

MORITZ, mō'rĭts, Karl Philipp, German author: b. Hameln, 15 Sept. 1756; d. Berlin, 26 July 1793. He was born of poor parents and became one of the most extraordinary figures in the Sturm und Drang (Storm and Stress) period. After distressful attempts to gain a living he caught the attention of a patron in Hanover and entered the gymnasium to reach quick promotion, but soon accepted an engagement as actor under Ekhof at Gotha, failing in which he returned to study (1776) at Erfurt; but tiring again be joined the Herrnhuter (Moravians) at Barby, and studied theology at Wittenberg (1777); then taught philanthropy at the Potsdam military orphanage, soon again to take to wandering. Teaching in Berlin, he made a reputation as writer, preacher and poet, and went to England; then became professor at the Kölnisches Gymnasium; next tried editing the Vossische Zeitung to make it proletarian, but failed. Later, he traveled to Italy (1786) where he met Goethe, who made a favorable influence on his mind, and on his return to Germany he took up residence as Goethe's guest at Weimar. Duke Karl August aided him to a membership in the Berlin Academy of Sciences and he became (1789) professor of antiquities at the Berlin Academy of Art. He wrote much of his life's vicissitudes into his works, notably, ‘Anton Reiser’ (Berlin 1785-90), an autobiographical novel; ‘Andreas Hartkopf’ (ib. 1786), also contains other elements from his life. Other important works are ‘Versuch einer deutschen Prosodie’ (Berlin 1786; later ed., 1815); ‘Ueber die bildende Nachahmung des Schönen’ (Brunswick 1788; Heilbronn 1888) ‘Götterlehre’ (Berlin 1791; 10th ed., 1851); ‘Reisen eines Deutschen in England’ (ib. 1783); ‘Reisen eines Deutschen in Italien’ (ib. 1792-93).

He was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1857 and became professor of physics and chemistry at the Episcopal Academy of Philadelphia in 1860. His lectures in 1863 at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia attracted attention throughout the United States and Europe by reason of his brilliant and unique experiments. He was one of the founders of the Philadelphia Dental College in 1863 and its first professor of chemistry, and in 1864-70 was resident secretary at Franklin Institute, where he continued his lectures. In 1867 he was appointed professor of chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania, and in the same year became editor of the Franklin Institute Journal. He conducted the photographic branch of the United States eclipse expedition to Iowa in 1869, and in additon to securing several excellent photographs of the eclipse, proved that the bright line of the sun's disc adjacent to the moon is due to a chemical action in the process of developing the plate and not to diffraction as had hitherto been held by the best scientists. In 1870 he was chosen president of the newly-founded Stevens Institute of Technology, and under his direction the faculty was selected and the course of instruction formed. His management of the institute made it one of the leading technological schools of the country; he gave it the benefit not only of his great learning but also several munificent gifts in the establishment and endowment of various necessary departments. His reputation as a scientist became world-wide and his services as a chemical expert were eagerly sought in litigation. From 1878-85 he was a member of the United States Lighthouse Board and in 1876-81 he was president of the American Chemical Society. Besides writing numerous
papers on electricity and fluorescence, he assisted in the preparation of ‘The Student's Practical Chemistry’ (1868).
