# The Lives and Characters of the English Dramatick Poets/Charles Hopkins

Charles Hopkins.
A Young Gentleman that is now living, his Father was that eminently Learned and Pious Divine, Ezekiel Hopkins, Bishop of London-Derry, in the Kingdom of Ireland. Our Poet was born in Devonshire, but carried, when a Child, to his Father's See; and when he had past his Childhood under so good a Father, he removed first to Dublin-College, and thence to Cambridge; whence he went to the Wars of Ireland, and having there exerted his early Valour, in so Glorious a Cause as that of his Country, Religion, and Liberty, he returned to England, and made London his Abold; where he fell into the Acquaintance of Gentlemen of the best Wit, and Parts, whose Age and Genius were most agreeable to his own. He is one of those who is, beyond Controversy, born a Poet, which he has shown in all the Pieces he has already Publish'd; the Sweetness of his Numbers, and Easiness of his Thoughts, in the several Copies of Verses he has Publish'd, particularly his Translations out of Ovid, Printed for Mr. Tonson, shew him born to translate that Author; for, if that Opinion of Pythagoras were true, we should conclude, the Soul of the tender Naso, were transmigrated into Mr. Hopkins: All the other Translators of that Poet, have lost his Genius, his Versification and Softness. But the Occasion of his being mentioned here is, his having Publish'd Two Plays, with different Success, (viz.)
​Boadicea, Queen of Britain, a Tragedy, Acted at the Theatre in Lincoln's-Inn-Fields, 1697. 4to. and Dedicated, in Verse, to Mr. Congreve. This Play met with great Applause, pleasing both the Ladies and Gentlemen; and indeed, besides the peculiar Sweetness of his Numbers, for it is written in Heroick Verse, he has in this Play touch'd the Passions, and the First Scene of the Fourth Act, betwixt Cassibellan and Camilla, where she discovers her Rape, is most Masterly perform'd. The Story is the same with Bonduca, she being sometimes called, Boadicea, and sometimes Bonduca. You may read of her in the Fourteenth Book of Tacitus's Annals, the Second Book of Milton's History of England, the Seventh Page of Ubaldino de cita delle donne illustri del Regno d' Ingelterra & Scotia, and Mr. Tyrrell's History of England, lately Publish'd, Vol. 1.
Pyrrhus, King of Epirus, a Tragedy, Acted at the new Theatre, in Little Lincoln's-Inn-Fields, by his Majesty's Servants, 1695. 4to. and Dedicated to his illustrious Highness, the Duke of Gloucester. This was our Author's First Play, in which there is a great deal that shews him a Poet, but not enough, it seems, to gain it that Success which he desired: He was very Young when it was writ, and therefore may be well excus'd for wanting that Correctness, which a more Mature Author, perhaps, wou'd have observ'd. The History of Pyrrhus is to be found in Livy Book, Plutarch, in the Life of that King, Lucius Florus, &c.

# The Legend of Glen Head

from Scribner's Monthly, Nov 1877
THE LEGEND OF GLEN HEAD.
RELATED BY A CAUTIOUS OBSERVER.
They say—though I know not what value to place
On the strength of mere local report—
That this was her home,—though the tax list gives space,
I observe, to. no fact of the sort.
But here she would sit; on that wheel spin her flax,—
I here may remark that her hair
Was compared to that staple,—yet as to the facts
There is no witness willing to swear.
Yet here she would sit, by that window reserved
For her vines—like a "bower of bloom,"
You'll remark I am quoting—the fact I've observed
Is that plants attract flies to the room.
The house and the window, the wheel and the flax
Are still in their status preserved,—
And yet, what conclusion to draw from these facts,
I regret I have never observed.
Her parents were lowly, her lover was poor;
In brief it appears their sole plea
For turning Fitz-William away from her door
Was that he was still poorer than she.
Yet why worldly wisdom was so cruel then
And perfectly proper to-day
I am quite at a loss to conceive,—but my pen
Is digressing. They drove him away.
Yon bracket supported the light she would trim
Each night to attract by its gleam,
Moth-like, her Fitz-William, who fondly would swim
To her side—seven miles and up-stream.
I know not how great was the length of his limb
Or how strong was her love-taper's glow;
But it seems an uncommon long distance to swim
And the light of a candle to show.
When her parents would send her quite early to bed
She would place on yon bench with great care
A sandwich, instead of the crumbs that she fed,
To her other wild pets that came there.
One night—though the date is not given, in view
Of the fact that no inquest was found— A corpse was discovered—Fitz-William's?—a few
Have alleged—drifting out on the Sound.
At the news she fell speechless, and, day after day,
She sank without protest or moan;
Till at last, like a foam-flake, she melted away—
So 'tis said, for her grave is unknown.
Twenty years from that day to the village again,
Came a mariner portly and gray,
Who was married at Hempstead—the record is plain
Of the justice—on that fatal day.
He hired the house, and regretted the fate
Of the parties whose legend I've told.
He made some repairs,—for 'tis proper to state
That the house was exceedingly old.
His name was McCorkle—now, while there is naught
To suggest of Fitz-William in that,
You'll remember, if living, our Fitz-William ought
To have grown somewhat grayer and fat.
But this is conjecture. The fact still remains
Of the vines and the flax as before.
And knowing your weakness I've taken some pains
To present them, my love, nothing more.

# The Legend of Good Women

* related portals: Poetry, English literature.
* sister projects: Wikipedia article, Wikidata item.
The Legend of Good Women is a poem in the form of a dream vision by Geoffrey Chaucer. The poem is the third longest of Chaucer’s works, after The Canterbury Tales and Troilus and Criseyde and is possibly the first significant work in English to use the iambic pentameter or decasyllabic couplets which he later used throughout the Canterbury Tales. This form of the heroic couplet would become a significant part of English literature no doubt inspired by Chaucer.Warning: template has been deprecated.

# The Liberator (newspaper)/September 18, 1857/Kansas

​Kansas. A gentleman who has just returned from a tour through the border counties of Missouri states that nothing is talked of there save the proposed invasion of Kansas the coming October. The Blue Lodges are being reorganized, and every thing gives evidence that extensive preparations are being made to control the election in Kansas. On the other hand, the military organization, formed by the Free State men for the protection of the ballot-box, is rapidly being completed. Affairs in the Territory are evidently tending towards a terrible crisis, and the October election may witness its denouement.

Letter from Charles L. Remond.
Marlboro’, Stark Co., O., Sept. 9, 1857.
My Dear Friend, Mr. Garrison:
This hurried note will intimate to you the safe arrival of Sarah and myself in Alliance on Saturday noon, whereat we found the Western Anti-Slavery Society in session, and fairly opened, under a large tent and in a beautiful grove owned by our friend I. R. Haynes, to whom, together with Mrs. Haynes and family, we are deeply indebted for their attentions and hospitality during our stay. The audience under the tent far exceeded our expectations in numbers, and for interest, intelligence, enthusiasm and unanimity of spirit and purpose, I have never seen it surpassed.
Our friends, S. S. and A. K. Foster, Foss, Mrs. Coleman, Pillsbury, were on hand from beginning to end, and never did better work for the cause. To neither party nor sect did they give quarter, nor ask it of them.
The meeting opened with high-toned resolutions, and the key-note given by the first speaker was an unmistakable one, and sustained throughout the many sessions without the appearance of abatement, qualification or reservation. The Chairman found it difficult to keep the vast assembly upon their seats, from actual eagerness to see every thing passing and to hear every thing said. Upwards of $500 were paid and promised to carry forward the cause, many subscribers added to the Bugle, and first-rate work opened to the local friends and to the several agents from the East.
Although I have not fully regained my strength, I never felt more hale and hearty for the struggle. I often spoke of you in answer to inquiring friends around me in the meeting, and as often did we wish that you were present to participate in the proceedings, and to join in the general expression of hope and encouragement inspired by the glorious gathering and demonstration just passed.
My sheet is full, and I can only add the desire to be kindly remembered to the friends at 21 Cornhill.
Yours, faithfully, Charles Lenox Remond.
P. S. It was said that there were three thousand persons present at the meeting on Sunday, and every body appeared to be upon their good behavior. A good sign.C. L. R.
# The Liberator (newspaper)/September 18, 1857/Letter from Aaron M. Powell

Letter from Aaron M. Powell.
Elmira Water Cure, N. Y. September 10, 1857.
Dear Mr. Garrison:
Again we are in the field of active labor, as soldiers enlisted in the warfare for freedom. Our meetings, thus far, though not largely attended, have been composed of a most intelligent and interesting class of persons, and we hope and believe that much good will come of them, in the respective localities in which they have been held. This, as you know, is a portion of New York upon which very little of our kind of labor has been bestowed. The old ‘mad-dog’ cry of ‘Infidelity’ has been thoroughly sounded in relation to us, especially at Owego, at which place we closed a series of four meetings last evening. For something more than a year past, the Rev. Dr. Cox has been preaching in Owego, and of course the people who have been blessed (I should say cursed) with his ministrations would see little else than dangerous infidelity in any thing that faithfully exposed a pro-slavery, time-serving religion. The Rev. Time-server’s influence, so far as it has extended, has been most pernicious; but we found a few earnest, truth-loving spirits at Owego, some of whom subscribed for the Standard, and I trust that our work will not be without good and lasting results.
To-morrow, we commence a series of meetings in Corning, to continue two days, after which we return to this place (Elmira) for a two days’ Convention. Surely, there was never greater need of our labors than in the present ‘crisis.’ May the ‘crisis’ continue, until the ‘oppressed shall go free.’
As ever, truly your friend, Aaron M. Powell.
# The Liberator (newspaper)/September 18, 1857/Negro Voters in Louisiana

​Negro Voters in Louisiana. Horrible! horrible! negroes vote in Louisiana! In one of the counties of Louisiana, a number of men tinged with negro blood have been in the habit of voting since 1838. They now vote the Democratic ticket, and when an attempt was made to exclude them from the polls, the Democratic candidate for State Treasurer and the Executive Committee of the party interfered with arms to enforce their right. Whatever goes for Slavery and Democracy, it is all right; otherwise, it is all wrong!
# The Liberator (newspaper)/September 18, 1857/Information Wanted

The Liberator.
Information Wanted.
How far, probably, does God act upon the advice which men disinterestedly give him (for their own purposes) in relation to his management of the world?
A writer in the Old Testament informs us that Jehovah once confided to Moses a plan which he had formed in relation to the children of Israel; that Moses, seeing certain disadvantages in that plan, remonstrated against it; and that Jehovah, thereupon, repented of his original purpose, and took a different course.
Teachers of religion must often find the question coming practically before them for decision, whether they will maintain the perfect wisdom and justice of God, or the correct information of some one of the forty or fifty writers of the Old and New Testaments, when these two come in conflict.
They must sometimes also be asked whether God will probably comply with requests that may be made to Him at the present day, for more or less rain or sunshine than he has originally decided to provide, when the farmers of a particular locality think that He is giving them too much or too little.
It appears by the Honolulu Friend, that a similar question has lately been considered among the missionaries at the Sandwich Islands. After the subsidence of a volcanic eruption, which for a long time had threatened the people of one of those islands, the Rev. T Coan, of Hilo, read an essay before the ‘Hawaiian Evangelical Association,’ with the following title: ‘Is it proper to hold up the idea before the Hawaiians, that the lava-flow toward Hilo ceased in answer to prayer?’
It is certainly important that those who assume to teach Christianity to the heathen should make it clear to them, not only that the true God is wise and good, but that he is so wise and so good as not to need guidance or suggestion from His creatures in either of these departments; and, further, that, if heat and cold, sun, wind and rain, should be modified at the request of every farmer’s minister who thought a change desirable, we should probably have more variable weather than at present, with a much less perfect accomplishment of the general welfare.—C. K. W.
