BOIS-ÉTOILÉ
WHAT legend of a star that fell In falchion flight from heavenly flame Brought to some poet-peasant's mind The haunting sweetness of thy name?
War marked thee in thy sylvan sleep— A spoil too pure for Hell to spare— Seamed earth, stark, splintered trunks, proclaim That Bois-Étoilé once was fair.
O wrecked and ravaged Wood of Stars! The lights that named thee have not set! In lovelier groves than even thine France forges victory from them yet!
O green place on a glorious earth, Thine, too, the martyr's meed shall be; With Rheims and Ypres, there shall be found A space on History's page for thee.
Nor shalt thou lose thine olden trick— The winds of Peace thy leaves shall stir; (Unbudded Aprils yearn, adream, To keep dead springtides' trysts with her!).

BATTLE HYMN
LORD God of battle and of pain, Of triumph and defeat, Our human pride, our strength's disdain Judge from Thy mercy-seat; Turn Thou our blows of bitter death To Thine appointed end; Open our eyes to see beneath Each honest foe a friend.
Give us to fight with banners bright And flaming swords of faith; We pray Thee to maintain Thy right In face of hell and death. Smile Thou upon our arms, and bless Our colours in the field, Add Thou, to righteous aims, success With peace and mercy seal'd.
Father and Lord of friend and foe All-seeing and all-wise, Thy balm to dying hearts bestow, Thy sight to sightless eyes; To the dear dead give life, where pain And death no more dismay, Where, amid Love's long terrorless Reign, All tears are wiped away.
Donald F. Goold Johnson.

BEFORE MARCHING, AND AFTER
(In Memoriam F. W. G.)
ORION swung southward aslant Where the starved Egdon pine-trees had thinned, The Pleaids aloft seemed to pant With the heather that twitched in the wind; But he looked on indifferent to sights such as these, Unswayed by love, friendship, home joy or home sorrow, And wondered to what he would march on the morrow.
The crazed household clock with its whirr Rang midnight within as he stood, He heard the low sighing of her Who had striven from his birth for his good; But he still only asked the spring starlight, the breeze, What great thing or small thing his history would borrow From that Game with Death he would play on the morrow.
When the heath wore the robe of late summer, And the fuchsia-bells, hot in the sun, Hung red by the door, a quick comer Brought tidings that marching was done For him who had joined in that game overseas Where Death stood to win; though his memory would borrow A brightness therefrom not to die on the morrow.
Thomas Hardy
September, 1915.

BATTLE SLEEP
SOMEWHERE, O sun, some corner there must be Thou visitest, where down the strand Quietly, still, the waves go out to sea From the green fringes of a pastoral land.
Deep in the orchard-bloom the roof-trees stand, The brown sheep graze along the bay, And through the apple-boughs above the sand The bees' hum sounds no fainter than the spray.
There through uncounted hours declines the day To the low arch of twilight's close, And, just as night about the moon grows gray, One sail leans westward to the fading rose.
Giver of dreams, O thou with scatheless wing Forever moving through the fiery hail, To flame-seared lids the cooling vision bring, And let some soul go seaward with that sail!

# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 277

Chap. CCLXXVII.—That no reflected Colour is simple, but is mixed with the Nature of the other Colours.
No colour reflected upon the surface of another body, will tinge that surface with its own colour alone, but will be mixed by the concurrence of other colours also reflected on the same spot. Let us suppose A to be of a yellow colour, which is reflected

Chap. CCLXXVIII.—Of the Colour of Lights and Reflexes.
When two lights strike upon an opake body, they can vary only in two ways; either they are equal in strength, or they are not. If they be equal, they may still vary in two other ways, that is, by the equality or inequality of their brightness; they will be equal, if their distance be the same; and unequal, if it be otherwise. The object placed at an equal distance, between two equal lights, in point both of colour and brightness, may still be enlightened by them in two different ways, either equally on each side, or unequally. It will be equally enlightened by them, when the space which remains round the lights shall be equal in colour, in degree of shade, and in brightness. It will be unequally enlightened by them when the spaces happen to be of different degrees of darkness.

Chap. CCLXXXI.—Of the Nature of Comparison.
Black draperies will make the flesh of the human figure appear whiter than in reality it is; and white draperies, on the contrary, will make it appear darker. Yellow will render it higher coloured, while red will make it pale.

# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 282

Chap. CCLXXXII.—Where the Reflexes are seen.
Of all reflexions of the same shape, size, and strength, that will be more or less strong, which terminates on a ground more or less dark.
​The surface of those bodies will partake most of the colour of the object that reflects it, which receive that reflexion by the most nearly equal angles.
Of the colours of objects reflected upon any opposite surface by equal angles, that will be the most distinct which has its reflecting ray the shortest.
Of all colours, reflected under equal angles, and at equal distance upon the opposite body, those will be the strongest, which come reflected by the lightest coloured body.
That object will reflect its own colour most precisely on the opposite object, which has not round it any colour that clashes with its own; and consequently that reflected colour will be most confused which takes its origin from a variety of bodies of different colours.
That colour which is nearest the opposed object, will tinge it the most strongly; and vice versâ: let the painter, therefore, in his reflexes on the human body, particularly on the flesh colour, mix some of the colour of the drapery which comes nearest to it; but not pronounce it too distinctly, if there be not good reason for it.

Chap. XXVIII.—Of being universal.
It is an easy matter for a man who is well versed in the principles of his art, to become universal in the practice of it, since all animals have a similarity of members, that is, muscles, tendons, bones, &c. These only vary in length or thickness, as will be demonstrated in the Anatomy. As for aquatic ani​mals, of which there is great variety, I shall not persuade the painter to take them as a rule, having no connexion with our purpose.

# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 276

Chap. CCLXXVI.—Of the Surface of all shadowed Bodies.
The surface of any opake body placed in shadow, will participate of the colour of any other object which reflects the light upon it. This is very evident; for if such bodies were deprived of light in the space between them and the other bodies, they could not shew either shape or colour. We shall conclude then, that if the opake body be yellow, and that which reflects the light blue, the part reflected will be green, because green is composed of blue and yellow.

# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 283

Chap. CCLXXXIII.—A Precept of Perspective in regard to Painting.
When, on account of some particular quality of the air, you can no longer distinguish the difference between the lights and shadows of objects, you may reject the perspective of shadows, and make use only of the linear perspective, and the diminution of colours, to lessen the knowledge of the objects opposed to the eye; and this, that is to say, the loss of the knowledge of the figure of each object, will make the same object appear more remote.
The eye can never arrive at a perfect knowledge of the interval between two objects variously distant, by means of the linear perspective alone, if not assisted by the perspective of colours.

# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 275

Chap. CCLXXV.—Of Reflexes.
Reflexes will partake, more or less, both of the colour of the object which produces them, and of the colour of that object on which they are produced, in proportion as this latter body is of a smoother or more polished surface, than that by which they are produced.

# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 279

Chap. CCLXXIX.—Why reflected Colours seldom partake of the Colour of the Body where they meet.
It happens very seldom that the reflexes are of the same colour with the body from which they proceed, or with that upon which they meet. To exemplify this, let the convex body D F G E be of a yellow colour, and the body B C, which reflects its colour on it, blue; the part of the convex surface which is struck by that reflected light, will take a green tinge, being B C, acted on by the natural light of the air, or the sun.

# A Treatise on Painting/Chapter 280

Chap. CCLXXX.—The Reflexes of Flesh Colours.
The lights upon the flesh colours, which are reflected by the light striking upon another flesh-coloured body, are redder and more lively than any other part of the human figure; and that happens according to the third proposition of the second book, ​which says, the surface of any opake body participates of the colour of the object which reflects the light, in proportion as it is near to or remote from it, and also in proportion to the size of it; because, being large, it prevents the variety of colours in smaller objects round it, from interfering with, and discomposing the principal colour, which is nearer. Nevertheless it does not prevent its participating more of the colour of a small object near it, than of a large one more remote. See the sixth proposition of perspective, which says, that large objects may be situated at such a distance as to appear less than small ones that are near.
* ↑ See chap. ccxxiii. ccxxxvii. cclxxiv. cclxxxii. of the present work. We have before remarked, that the propositions so frequently referred to by the author, were never reduced into form, though apparently he intended a regular work in which they were to be included.

Admitted 29 July, 1736.
Second son of Humphrey Ambler, of Stubbings, Bisham, Berks. He was called to the Bar 2 July, 1742, and entered at Lincoln's Inn, 1757. He became King's Counsel 6 May, 1761, at the same time as Sir William Blackstone (q.v.), and subsequently Attorney-General to the Queen. Ambler's Reports embrace a period of nearly fifty years (1737—1784), and, as he himself reminds us, give us the decisions of five Chancellors, several Masters of the Rolls, and more than one body of Commissioners. As originally printed in 1790 Ambler's Reports were considered of imperfect authority, but the edition published in 1828 by Mr. Blunt has removed defects. Mr. Ambler died at Maidenhead on 23 Feb. 1794.
