EPITAPH FOR JOSEPH BLACKET, LATE POET AND SHOEMAKER.
Stranger! behold, interred together, The souls of learning and of leather. Poor Joe is gone, but left his all: You'll find his relics in a stall. His works were neat, and often found Well stitched, and with morocco bound. Tread lightly—where the bard is laid— He cannot mend the shoe he made; Yet is he happy in his hole, With verse immortal as his sole. But still to business he held fast, And stuck to Phœbus to the last. ​Then who shall say so good a fellow Was only "leather and prunella?" For character—he did not lack it; And if he did, 'twere shame to "Black-it."

John Adams lies here, of the parish of Southwell, A Carrier who carried his can to his mouth well; ​He carried so much and he carried so fast, He could carry no more—so was carried at last; For the liquor he drank being too much for one, He could not carry off;—so he's now carri-on.

FRAGMENT OF AN EPISTLE TO THOMAS MOORE.
"What say I?"—not a syllable further in prose; I'm your man "of all measures," dear Tom,—so here goes! Here goes, for a swim on the stream of old Time, On those buoyant supporters, the bladders of rhyme. If our weight breaks them down, and we sink in the flood, We are smothered, at least, in respectable mud, Where the divers of Bathos lie drowned in a heap, And Southey's last Pæan has pillowed his sleep; That Felo de se who, half drunk with his Malmsey, Walked out of his depth and was lost in a calm sea,10 Singing "Glory to God" in a spick and span stanza, The like (since Tom Sternhold was choked) never man saw.
The papers have told you, no doubt, of the fusses, The fêtes, and the gapings to get at these Russes,— Of his Majesty's suite, up from coachman to Hetman,— And what dignity decks the flat face of the great man. ​I saw him, last week, at two balls and a party,— For a Prince, his demeanour was rather too hearty. You know, we are used to quite different graces,
The Czar's look, I own, was much brighter and brisker, But then he is sadly deficient in whisker;21 And wore but a starless blue coat, and in kersey- mere breeches whisked round, in a waltz with the Jersey, Who, lovely as ever, seemed just as delighted With Majesty's presence as those she invited.
June, 1814. [First published, Letters and Journals, 1830, i. 561, 562 (note).]
* ↑ [The two first stanzas of Southey's "Carmen Triumphale, for the Commencement of the Year 1814," end with the line— "Glory to God—Deliverance for Mankind!"]
* ↑ ["The newspapers will tell you all that is to be told of emperors, etc. They have dined, and supped, and shown their flat faces in all thoroughfares and several saloons."—Letter to Moore, June 14, 1814, Letters, 1899, iii. 93, 94. From June 6 to June 27, 1814, the Emperor of Russia, and the King of Prussia were in England. Huge crowds watched all day and night outside the Pulteney Hotel (105, Piccadilly), where the Emperor of Russia stayed. Among the foreigners in London were Nesselrode, Metternich, Blücher, and Platoff, Hetman of the Cossacks. The two latter were the heroes of the mob. Ibid., p. 93, note 1.]

# The Works of the Rev. Jonathan Swift/Volume 16/Observations on Heylin's History of the Presbyterians

OBSERVATIONS
ON
Heylin's History of the Presbyterians, 1670.
THIS book, by some errours and neglects in the style, seems not to have received the author's last correction. It is written with some vehemence, very pardonable in one who had been an observer and a sufferer, in England, under that diabolical fanatick sect, which then destroyed church and state. But by comparing, in my memory, what I have read in other histories, he neither aggravates nor falsifies any facts. His partiality appears chiefly in setting the actions of Calvinists in the strongest light, without equally dwelling on those of the other side; which, however, to say the truth, was not his proper business. And yet he might have spent some more words on the inhuman massacre of Paris, and other parts of France, which no provocation (and yet the king had the greatest possible) could excuse, or much extenuate. The author, according to the current opinion of the age he lived in, had too high notions of regal power; led by the common mistake of the ​term Supreme Magistrate, and not rightly distinguishing between the legislature and administration: into which mistake the clergy fell or continued, in the reign of Charles II, as I have shown and explained in a treatise, &c.

LAWS

DEAN'S SERVANTS.
December 7th, 1733.
IF either of the two men servants be drunk, he shall pay an English crown out of his wages for the said offence, by giving the dean a receipt for so much wages received.
When the dean is at home, no servant shall presume to be absent, without giving notice to the dean, and asking leave, upon the forfeiture of six pence for every half-hour that he is absent, to be stopped out of his or her board-wages.
When the dean is abroad, no servant, except the woman, shall presume to leave the house for above one half-hour; after which, for every half-hour's absence, he shall forfeit six pence: and if the other servant goes out before the first returns, he shall pay five shillings out of his wages, as above.
Whatever servant shall be taken in a manifest lie, shall forfeit one shilling out of his or her board-wages.
When the dean goes about the house, or out-houses, or garden, or to Naboth's Vineyard, whatever things he finds out of order, by neglect of any ​servant under whose care it was, that servant shall forfeit six pence, and see to get it mended as soon as possible, or suffer more forfeitures at the dean's discretion.
If two servants be abroad together when the dean is from home, and the fact be concealed from the dean; the concealer shall forfeit two crowns out of his or her wages, as above.
If, in waiting at table, the two servants be out of the room together, without orders, the last who went out shall forfeit three pence out of his board-wages.
The woman may go out when the dean is abroad for one hour, but no longer, under the same penalty with the men; but provided the two men-servants keep the house until she returns: otherwise, either of the servants who goes out before her return, shall forfeit a crown out of his wages, as above.
Whatever other laws the dean shall think fit to make, at any time to come, for the government of his servants, and forfeitures for neglect or disobedience, all the servants be bound to submit to.
Whatever other servant, except the woman, shall presume to be drunk, the other two servants shall inform the dean thereof, under pain of forfeiting two crowns out of his or her wages, beside the forfeiture of a crown from the said servant who was drunk.

HEADS FOR
Henry the Second's Character.
Extracted from the Monks.
[Hard to gather his character from such bad authors.]
A WISE prince, to whom other princes referred their differences; and had ambassadors from both empires, east and west, as well as others, at once in his court.
​Strong and brawny body, patient of cold and heat, big head, broad breast, broken voice, temperate in meat, using much exercise, just stature, forma elegantissima, colore subrufo, oculis glaucis, sharp wit, very great memory, constancy in adversity and in felicity, except at last he yielded, because almost forsaken of all; liberal, imposed few tributes, excellent soldier and fortunate, wise and not unlearned. His vices: mild and promising in adversity, fierce and hard, and a violator of faith in prosperity; covetous to his domesticks and children, although liberal to soldiers and strangers, which turned the former from him; loved profit more than justice; very lustful, which likewise turned his sons and others from him. Rosamond and the labyrinth at Woodstock. Not very religious; mortuos milites lugens plus quam vivos amans; largus in publico, parens in privato. Constant in love and hatred, false to his word, morose, a lover of ease. Oppressor of nobles, sullen, and a delayer of justice; verbo varius et verstitus —— used churchmen well after Becket's death; charitable to the poor, levied few taxes, hated slaughter and cruelty. A great memory, and always knew those he once saw.
Very indefatigable in his travels backward and forward to Normandy, &c. of most endless desires to increase his dominions. *****

# To the Women of the Republic

Office of the Women's Loyal National League, Room No. 20, Cooper Institute. New York, January 25, 1864.
The Women's Loyal National League,
TO THE WOMEN OF THE REPUBLIC:
We ask you to sign and circulate this petition for the entire abolition of Slavery. We have now one hundred thousand signatures, but we want a million before Congress adjourns. Remember the President's Proclamation reaches only the Slaves of Rebels. The jails of LOYAL Kentucky are to-day "crammed" with Georgia, Mississippi and Alabama slaves, advertised to be sold for their jail fees "according to LAW," precisely as before the war!!! While slavery exists anywhere there can be freedom nowhere. There must be a law abolishing Slavery. We have undertaken to canvass the Nation for freedom. Women, you cannot vote or fight for your country. Your only way to be a power in the Government is through the exercise of this, one, sacred, Constitutional "right of Petition;" and we ask you to use it now to the utmost. Go to the rich, the poor, the high, the low, the soldier, the civilian, the white, the black—gather up the names of all who hate slavery—all who love liberty, and would have it the law of the land—and lay them at the feet of Congress, your silent but potent vote for human freedom guarded by law.
You have shown true courage and self-sacrifice from the beginning of the war. You have been angels of mercy to our sick and dying soldiers in camp and hospital, and on the battle-field. But let it not be said that the women of the Republic, absorbed in ministering to the outward alone, saw not the philosophy of the revolution through which they passed; understood not the moral struggle that convulsed the nation—the irrepressible conflict between liberty and slavery. Remember the angels of mercy and justice are twin sisters, and ever walk hand in hand. While you give yourselves so generously to the Sanitary and Freedmen's Commissions, forget not to hold up the eternal principles on which our Republic rests. Slavery once abolished, our brothers, husbands and sons will never again, for its sake, be called to die on the battle-field, starve in rebel prisons, or return to us crippled for life; but our country free from the one blot that has always marred its fair escutcheon, will be an example to all the world that "righteousness exalteth a nation."
The God of Justice is with us, and our word, our work—our prayer for Freedom—will not, cannot be in vain.

To the bright east she flies, Brothers of Paradise Remit her home, Without a change of wings, Or Love's convenient things, Enticed to come.
