# Queen Moo's Talisman; the Fall of the Maya Empire/V

V.
nd yet again Aac dared his cause to plead, His hand out reached that Móo might love concede. Mad! mad! he surely was Can one plant deep The seed of hate, and then hope love to reap?
Events that Cay had foretold drew near; For self-willed Aac cast o'er the land dark fear. Enraged, a pretext he failed not to seek For war; and soon he caused the soil to reek With blood of men; for him they bravely fought, And led by him dire devastation wrought. When nearly all the land bowed 'neath his sway, Once more he tried with her to have his way; By messenger himself would thus demean: "To Móo, Aac yields, if she will be his queen."
Could mortal strive to rouse with greater zeal Fierce hate and pity kill? Her fall, his weal, ​He'd thus make one. His queen! O hateful thought! 'Twas plain the war that he ungrateful sought, Had prompted been by fixed desire to reign, And with the throne its Queen too he'd obtain. With just wrath filled Móo scorned the victor's plea— Lose all she rather would, her palace flee.
Too soon indeed was this to come about, Cay's prophecy no longer one could doubt; For Aac without delay acquired new force, Nor cared who fell beneath his reckless course. At last exulted he in Móo's defeat, And deeds were done that time could ne'er delete. The noble Pontiff was at once abased By Aac, who deeply thus himself disgraced.
When Móo's defenders lay around her slain, Her freedom she no longer could retain; Then captive she was led to meet her fate. Within Aac's breast now battled love and hate. Yet dared he not that heinous sin commit, Compel what woman's heart would not permit. He hoped she soon would plead to be set free, And since all else was lost for her could she Withstand his ever strong desire? Relent She must—to be his consort now consent.
Móo looked for death; she would surrender life, Escaping thus all further pain and strife. ​But jailers were by faithful friends embroiled; At heavy cost Prince Aac's designs they foiled. Success was theirs, and guarding her with care, They gained the coast, great oceans storms to dare.
"Dear native land, where tender mem'ries cling, No other spot such happy years can bring!" Thus to himself each, silent, said. The past Knew no appeal; the lot of all was cast; The future might, perchance, hold something yet. And when the sun arose, the sails were set, That all might find on distant, foreign shore, New homes, where peace would bless their days once more. Devoted subjects they, renouncing all To rescue captive Queen, whose complete fall From sovereign power forbade a hope of gain; Their only wish to save her further pain. Thus they with her now fled from Aac's mad hate, Untouched by fear of what might them await.
Afar the voyagers went from place to place, And stayed at length where men of Maya race— Bold navigators they for centuries back— Had made a home, and nothing there could lack.
# Queen Moo's Talisman; the Fall of the Maya Empire/Preface

n justice to the author of "Queen Móo's Talisman", it may be recorded that at the time of its writing, there was no intention of allowing the verses to go into print; they were penned only for the one to whom they are dedicated.
The songs introduced have been arranged to the metre of the two or three ancient melodies yet occasionally heard among the natives of Yucatan. The one to the rain gods is a versification (set to the tune even now used in a sun-dance) of an old Maya prayer translated from that language by Dr. Le Plongeon and published in his work "Queen Móo and the Egyptian Sphinx." The melody to which the Love Song is set is not Maya. In connection with the lines touching upon love and pain it may be remarked that in the Maya language there is but one word to express both.
In this poem are represented as nearly as possible, the religious ideas of the Mayas, their belief in KU, the Supreme Intelligence; in the immortality of the soul, and in successive ​lives on earth before returning to the great Source whence all emanate; also their rites and ceremonies as gathered from traditions of the natives of Yucatan, the fresco paintings found at Chicħen, and the books of ancient Maya authors.
As the general reader can hardly be expected to be familiar with the peculiar customs and ideas of the natives of Central America, these are sufficiently set forth in the Introduction, a careful perusal of which will greatly contribute to an appreciation of the poem.
Attention is also invited to the separate page containing a list of the Maya names and their meanings.
The second part of this narrative poem must be regarded not as a matter of belief on the part of the author, but solely as having been suggested by the belief of the natives who worked for Dr. Le Plongeon in his explorations among the ruins of Chicħen.

hile mortals slept and stars lit up its bed, Ere Phoebus smiled the infant's soul had fled.
Kissed by the god of day, a blue-eyed boy Sprang from his couch, with eager love and joy. White twinkling feet then ran across the floor To Natalie, as many a morn before. Death's mystery to him was yet untaught; The lifeless babe no dread to his mind brought; To mother's arms he bore the drooping form— "Poor baby cold! make pretty sister warm."
The lustrums sped. A girl of lightsome heart Was told, "He comes! with him thou must depart." ​To find her in the East, he sailed from West, Responsive to the power of soul's request. Resistless forces bade her go fulfill The part that she, by her own human will Had planned upon a day, when swayed by love She would her consort find, on earth, above, Wherever might he dwell there too would she: Attachments deep can bind like stern decree.
To learn the past, to Maya-land both turned, But no faint ray of mem'ry in them burned. Altho' he murmured in a certain place— "Familiar 'tis, there's something I would trace."
As Maya chief reborn, men of the soil Hailed him, and led by him would patient toil In forest depths, 'mid desert mansions old And temples drear—their history to unfold.
Within a white stone urn in ancient tomb, Charred heart and talisman lay in the gloom . To her he gave the gem,—"Now take thine own, I pray; henceforth it must be thine alone."
In dancing flame the mortal dust from urn Was thrown. "A form ascends from what doth burn!" The natives loud exclaimed, "A princely shade That into nothingness doth quickly fade." ​When evening came, and all from work reposed, They told the white man why the things inclosed Were found by him: "Thou art returned once more From long enchanted sleep; wast here before." To this, both earnestly responded—"Nay," But nothing changed; the men thought their own way.

XXIII.
Is it indeed so? If I lay here dead, Would'st thou miss any life in losing mine, And would the sun for thee more coldly shine, Because of grave-damps falling round my head? I marvelled, my Beloved, when I read Thy thought so in the letter. I am thine— But . . so much to thee? Can I pour thy wine While my hands tremble? Then my soul, instead Of dreams of death, resumes life's lower range! Then, love me, Love! look on me . . breathe on me! As brighter ladies do not count it strange, For love, to give up acres and degree, I yield the grave for thy sake, and exchange My near sweet view of Heaven, for earth with thee!

XXV.
A heavy heart, Beloved, have I borne From year to year until I saw thy face, And sorrow after sorrow took the place Of all those natural joys as lightly worn As the stringed pearls . . each lifted in its turn By a beating heart at dance-time. Hopes apace Were changed to long despairs, . . till God's own grace Could scarcely lift above the world forlorn My heavy heart. Then thou didst bid me bring And let it drop adown thy calmly great Deep being! Fast it sinketh, as a thing Which its own nature doth precipitate, While thine doth close above it mediating Betwixt the stars and the unaccomplished fate.

III.
Unlike are we, unlike, O princely Heart! Unlike our uses, and our destinies. Our ministering two angels look surprise On one another, as they strike athwart Their wings in passing. Thou, bethink thee, art A guest for queens to social pageantries, With gages from a hundred brighter eyes Than tears, even, can make mine, to ply thy part Of chief musician. What hast thou to do With looking from the lattice-lights at me, A poor, tired, wandering singer? . . singing through The dark, and leaning up a cypress tree? The chrism is on thine head,—on mine, the dew,— And Death must dig the level where these agree.

XXX.
I see thine image through my tears to-night, And yet to-day I saw thee smiling. How Refer the cause?—Beloved, is it thou Or I? Who makes me sad? The acolyte Amid the chanted joy and thankful rite, May so fall flat, with pale insensate brow, On the altar-stair. I hear thy voice and vow Perplexed, uncertain, since thou'rt out of sight, As he, in his swooning ears, the choir's amen! Beloved, dost thou love? or did I see all The glory as I dreamed, and fainted when Too vehement light dilated my ideal For my soul's eyes? Will that light come again, As now these tears come . . . falling hot and real?

XXXI.
Thou comest! all is said without a word. I sit beneath thy looks, as children do In the noon-sun, with souls that tremble through Their happy eyelids from an unaverred Yet prodigal inward joy. Behold, I erred In that last doubt! and yet I cannot rue The sin most, but the occasion . . . that we two Should for a moment stand unministered By a mutual presence. Ah, keep near and close, Thou dovelike help! and, when my fears would rise, With thy broad heart serenely interpose! Brood down with thy divine sufficiencies These thoughts which tremble when bereft of those, Like callow birds left desert to the skies.

XXVII.
My own Beloved, who hast lifted me From this drear flat of earth where I was thrown, And in betwixt the languid ringlets, blown A life-breath, till the forehead hopefully Shines out again, as all the angels see, Before thy saving kiss! My own, my own, Who camest to me when the world was gone, And I who looked for only God, found thee! I find thee: I am safe, and strong, and glad. As one who stands in dewless asphodel Looks backward on the tedious time he had In the upper life . . so I, with bosom-swell, Make witness here between the good and bad, That Love, as strong as Death, retrieves as well.

XXVI.
I lived with visions for my company Instead of men and women, years ago, And found them gentle mates, nor thought to know A sweeter music than they played to me. But soon their trailing purple was not free Of this world's dust,—their lutes did silent grow, And I myself grew faint and blind below Their vanishing eyes. Then thou didst come . . to be, Beloved, what they seemed. Their shining fronts, Their songs, their splendours . . (better, yet the same, . . As river-water hallowed into fonts . . ) Met in thee, and from out thee overcame My soul with satisfaction of all wants— Because God's gifts put man's best dreams to shame.

XXIV.
Let the world's sharpness like a clasping knife Shut in upon itself and do no harm In this close hand of Love, now soft and warm; And let us hear no sound of human strife, After the click of the shutting. Life to life— I lean upon thee, Dear, without alarm, And feel as safe as guarded by a charm, Against the stab of worldlings who if rife Are weak to injure. Very whitely still The lilies of our lives may reassure Their blossoms from their roots! accessible Alone to heavenly dews that drop not fewer; Growing straight, out of man's reach, on the hill. God only, who made us rich, can make us poor.

XXVIII.
My letters! all dead paper, . . mute and white!— And yet they seem alive and quivering Against my tremulous hands, which loose the string And let them drop down on my knee to-night. This said, . . he wished to have me in his sight Once, as a friend: this fixed a day in spring To come and touch my hand . . . a simple thing, Yet I wept for it!—this, . . the paper's light . . Said, Dear, I love thee: and I sank and quailed As if God's future thundered on my past: This said, I am thine—and so its ink has paled With lying at my heart that beat too fast: And this . . . O Love, thy words have ill availed, If, what this said, I dared repeat at last!
# Prometheus Bound, and other poems/Sonnets from the Portuguese/Sonnet 29

XXIX.
I think of thee!—my thoughts do twine and bud About thee, as wild vines about a tree,— Put out broad leaves, and soon there's nought to see Except the straggling green which hides the wood. Yet, O my palm-tree, be it understood I will not have my thoughts instead of thee Who art dearer, better! Rather instantly Renew thy presence! As a strong tree should, Rustle thy boughs, and set thy trunk all bare, And let these bands of greenery which insphere thee, Drop heavily down, . . burst, shattered, everywhere! Because, in this deep joy to see and hear thee And breathe within thy shadow a new air, I do not think of thee—I am too near thee.

# Proclamation 7309

Delivered on 18 May 2000.
By the President of the United States of America A Proclamation
Living in a country bordered by oceans and blessed with abundant lakes and rivers, Americans have made recreational boating one of our Nation's most popular pastimes. Each year, more than 74 million Americans take to the water with family and friends to relax and enjoy the beauty of the natural world.
But each year, for too many Americans, boating ends in tragedy. Most boating-related injuries and deaths are the result of human error and poor judgment, caused, for example, by excessive speed, failure to follow safe navigation rules, and drinking or taking drugs while operating watercraft. These injuries could easily be prevented by using common sense and making safety the first priority.
Boating accidents can occur at any time—whether the water is smooth or turbulent and whether the boater is experienced or a novice. One of the best ways to make a recreational boating experience safe and enjoyable is to ensure that everyone on board always wears a life jacket. To reinforce this lifesaving message, the National Safe Boating Campaign has once again selected the theme "Boat Smart from the Start! Wear Your Life Jacket!" for this year's observance. Recreational boating organizations, including the National Safe Boating Council and the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators, as well as the U.S. Coast Guard, other Federal agencies, and State and local governments, are continuing to promote safety through education by emphasizing the importance of wearing life jackets and practicing boating and water safety.
In recognition of the importance of safe boating practices, the Congress, by joint resolution approved June 4, 1958 (36 U.S.C. 131), as amended, has authorized and requested the President to proclaim annually the 7-day period ending on the last Friday before Memorial Day as "National Safe Boating Week."
Now, Therefore, I, William J. Clinton, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 20 through May 26, 2000, as National Safe Boating Week. I encourage the governors of the 50 States and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and officials of other areas subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, to join in observing this occasion and to urge all Americans to use safe boating practices throughout the year.
In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this eighteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and twenty-fourth.
William J. Clinton
