# Welsh Melodies/Howel's Song

HOWEL'S SONG.
[Howel ab Einion Llygliw was a distinguished bard of the fourteenth century. A beautiful poem, addressed by him to Myfanwy Vychan, a celebrated beauty of those times, is still preserved amongst the remains of the Welsh bards. The ruins of Myfanwy's residence, Castle Dinas Bran, may yet be traced on a high hill near Llangollen.]
Press on, my steed! I hear the swell$^1$ Of Valle Crucis' vesper-bell, Sweet floating from the holy dell  O'er woods and waters round. Perchance the maid I love, e'en now, From Dinas Bran's majestic brow, Looks o'er the fairy world below.  And listens to the sound!
I feel her presence on the scene! The summer air is more serene, The deep woods wave in richer green,  The wave more gently flows! O fair as ocean's curling foam!$^2$ Lo! with the balmy hour I come— The hour that brings the wanderer home,  The weary to repose!
Haste! on each mountain's darkening crest The glow hath died, the shadows rest, The twilight star on Deva's breast  Gleams tremulously bright; Speed for Myfanwy's bower on high! Though scorn may wound me from her eye, Oh! better by the sun to die,  Than live in rayless night!
* ↑ $^1$ "I have rode hard, mounted on a fine high-bred steed, upon thy account, O thou with the countenance of cherry-flower bloom. The speed was with eagerness, and the strong long-hamm'd steed of Alban reached the summit of the high land of Bran."
* ↑ $^2$ "My loving heart sinks with grief without thy support, O thou that hast the whiteness of the curling waves! . . . . . I know that this pain will avail me nothing towards obtaining thy love, O thou whose countenance is bright as the flowers of the hawthorn!"—Howel's Ode to Myfanwy.
# Welsh Melodies/Taliesin's Prophecy

12
TALIESIN’S PROPHECY.
"Their God they shall worship, Their language they shall retain. Their land they shall lose, Except wild Wales."]
A voice from time departed yet floats thy hills among, O Cambria! thus thy prophet bard, thy Taliesin sung: "The path of unborn ages is traced upon my soul, The clouds which mantle things unseen away before me roll,
A light the depths revealing hath o'er my spirit pass'd, A rushing sound from days to be swells fitful in the blast, And tells me that for ever shall live the lofty tongue To which the harp of Mona's woods by freedom's hand was strung.
"Green island of the mighty!$^5$ I see thine ancient race Driven from their fathers' realm to make the rocks their dwelling-place! I see from Uthyr's$^{6}$ kingdom the sceptre pass away, And many a line of bards and chiefs and princely men decay. But long as Arvon's mountains shall lift their sovereign forms, And wear the crown to which is given dominion o'er the storms, So long, their empire sharing, shall live the lofty tongue To which the harp of Mona's woods by freedom's hand was strung!"
* ↑ $^5$ Ynys y Cedeirn, or Isle of the Mighty—an ancient name given to Britain.
* ↑ $^{6}$ Uthyr Pendragon, king of Britain, supposed to have been the father of Arthur.
# Welsh Melodies/The Cambrian in America

THE CAMBRIAN IN AMERICA.
When the last flush of eve is dying  On boundless lakes afar that shine; When winds amidst the palms are sighing,  And fragrance breathes from every pine:$^4$ When stars through cypress-boughs are gleaming,  And fire-flies wander bright and free, Still of thy harps, thy mountains dreaming,  My thoughts, wild Cambria! dwell with thee!
Alone o'er green savannas roving,  Where some broad stream in silence flows, Or through th' eternal forests moving,  One only home my spirit knows! Sweet land, whence memory ne'er hath parted!  To thee on sleep's light wing I fly; But happier could the weary-hearted  Look on his own blue hills and die!
# Welsh Melodies/The Chant of the Bards

CHANT OF THE BARDS BEFORE THEIR MASSACRE BY EDWARD I.$^4$
Raise ye the sword! let the death-stroke be given; Oh! swift may it fall as the lightning of heaven! So shall our spirits be free as our strains— The children of song may not languish in chains!
Have ye not trampled our country's bright crest; Are heroes reposing in death on her breast? Red with their blood do her mountain-streams flow, And think ye that still we would linger below?
Rest, ye brave dead! midst the hills of your sires, Oh! who would not slumber when freedom expires? Lonely and voiceless your halls must remain— The children of song may not breathe in the chain!
# Welsh Melodies/Eryri Wen

18
ERYRI WEN.
["Snowdon was held as sacred by the ancient Britons, as Parnassus was by the Greeks, and Ida by the Cretans. It is still said, that whosoever slept upon Snowdon would wake inspired, as much as if he had taken a nap on the hill of Apollo. The Welsh had always the strongest attachment to the tract of Snowdon. Our princes had, in addition to their title, that of Lord of Snowdon."—Pennant.]
Theirs was no dream, O monarch hill,  With heaven's own azure crown'd! Who call'd thee—what thou shalt be still,  White Snowdon!—holy ground.
They fabled not, thy sons who told  Of the dread power enshrined
Within thy cloudy mantle's fold,  And on thy rushing wind!
It shadow'd o'er thy silent height,  It fill'd thy chainless air, Deep thoughts of majesty and might  For ever breathing there.
Nor hath it fled! the awful spell  Yet holds unbroken sway, As when on that wild rock it fell  Where Merddin Emrys lay!$^2$
Though from their stormy haunts of yore  Thine eagles long have flown,$^3$ As proud a flight the soul shall soar  Yet from thy mountain-throne!
Pierce then the heavens, thou hill of streams!  And make the snows thy crest! The sunlight of immortal dreams  Around thee still shall rest.
Eryri! temple of the bard!  And fortress of the free! Midst rocks which heroes died to guard,  Their spirit dwells with thee!
* ↑ $^2$Dinas Emrys, (the fortress of Ambrose,) a celebrated rock amongst the mountains of Snowdon, is said to be so called from having been the residence of Merddin Emrys, called by the Latins Merlinus Ambrosius, the celebrated prophet and magician: and there, tradition says, he wrote his prophecies concerning the future state of the Britons. There is another curious tradition respecting a large stone, on the ascent of Snowdon, called Maen du yr Arddu, the black stone of Arddu. It is said, that if two persons were to sleep a night on this stone, in the morning one would find himself endowed with the gift of poetry, and the other would become insane.—Williams's Observations on the Snowdon Mountains.
* ↑ $^3$It is believed amongst the inhabitants of these mountains, that eagles have heretofore bred in the lofty clefts of their rocks. Some wandering ones are still seen at times, though very rarely, amongst the precipices.—Williams’s Observations on the Snowdon Mountains.
# Welsh Melodies/Grufydd's Feast

9
GRUFYDD'S FEAST.
["Grufydd ab Rhys ab Tewdwr, having resisted the English successfully in the time of Stephen, and at last obtained from them an honourable peace, made a great feast at his palace in Ystrad Tywi to celebrate this event. To this feast, which was continued for forty days, he invited all who would come in peace from Gwynedd, Powys, the Deheubarth, Glamorgan, and the marches. Against the appointed time he prepared all kinds of delicious viands and liquors; with every entertainment of vocal and instrumental song; thus patronising the poets and musicians. He encouraged, too, all sorts of representations and manly games, and afterwards sent away all those who had excelled in them with honourable gifts."—Cambrian Biography.]
Let the yellow mead shine for the sons of the brave, By the bright festal torches around us that wave! Set open the gates of the prince's wide hall, And hang up the chief's ruddy spear on the wall!  There is peace in the land we have battled to save: Then spread ye the feast, bid the wine-cup foam high,$^1$ That those may rejoice who have fear'd not to die!
Let the horn whose loud blast gave the signal for fight, With the bees sunny nectar now sparkle in light;$^2$ Let the rich draught it offers with gladness be crown'd, For the strong hearts in combat that leap'd at its sound!  Like the billows' dark swell was the path of their might, Red, red as their blood, fill the wine-cup on high, That those may rejoice who have fear'd not to die!
And wake ye the children of song from their dreams, On Maelor's wild hills and by Dyfed's fair streams!$^3$ Bid them haste with those strains of the lofty and free, Which shall flow down the waves of long ages to be.  Sheath the sword which hath given them unperishing themes,
And pour the bright mead: let the wine-cup foam high, That those may rejoice who have fear'd not to die!
* ↑ $^1$Wine, as well as mead, is frequently mentioned in the poems of the ancient British bards.
* ↑ $^2$The horn was used for two purposes—to sound the alarm in war, and to drink the mead at feasts.
* ↑ $^3$Dyfed, (said to signify a land abounding with streams of water,) the modern Pembrokeshire.
# Welsh Melodies/Owain Glyndwr's War Song

13
OWEN GLYNDWR'S WAR-SONG.
Saw ye the blazing star!$^1$ The heavens look'd down on freedom's war,  And lit her torch on high! Bright on the dragon crest$^2$ It tells that glory's wing shall rest,  When warriors meet to die! Let earth's pale tyrants read despair  And vengeance in its flame; Hail ye, my bards! the omen fair  Of conquest and of fame, And swell the rushing mountain air  With songs to Glendwr's name.
At the dead hour of night, Mark'd ye how each majestic height  Burn'd in its awful beams? Red shone th' eternal snows, And all the land, as bright it rose,  Was full of glorious dreams! O eagles of the battle,$^3$ rise!  The hope of Gwynedd wakes!$^4$
It is your banner in the skies  Through each dark cloud which breaks, And mantles with triumphal dyes  Your thousand hills and lakes!
A sound is on the breeze, A murmur as of swelling seas!  The Saxon on his way! Lo! spear and shield and lance, From Deva's waves, with lightning glance,  Reflected to the day! But who the torrent-wave compels  A conqueror's chain to bear? Let those who wake the soul that dwells  On our free winds, beware! The greenest and the loveliest dells  May be the lion's lair!
Of us they told, the seers, And monarch bards of elder years,  Who walk'd on earth as powers! And in their burning strains, A spell of might and mystery reigns,  To guard our mountain-towers! —In Snowdon's caves a prophet lay:$^5$  Before his gifted sight, The march of ages pass'd away  With hero-footsteps bright; But proudest in that long array,  Was Glendwr's path of light!
* ↑ $^1$The year 1402 was ushered in with a comet or blazing star, which the bards interpreted as an omen favourable to the cause of Glendwr. It served to infuse spirit into the minds of a superstitions people, the first success of their chieftain confirmed this belief, and gave new vigour to their actions.—Pennant.
* ↑ $^2$Owen Glendwr styled himself the Dragon; a name he assumed in imitation of Uthyr, whose victories over the Saxons were foretold by the appearances of a star with a dragon beneath, which Uthyr used as his badge; and on that account it became a favourite one with the Welsh.—Pennant.
* ↑ $^3$"Bring the horn to Tudwrou, the Eagle of Battles."—See the Hirlas Horn of Owain Cyfeiliog. The eagle is a very favourite image with the ancient Welsh poets.
* ↑ $^4$Gwynedd, (pronounced Gwyneth,) North Wales.
* ↑ $^5$Merlin, or Merddin Emrys, is said to have composed his prophecies on the future lot of the Britons, amongst the mountains of Snowdon. Many of these, and other ancient prophecies, were applied by Glyndwr to his own cause, and assisted him greatly in animating the spirit of his followers.
# Welsh Melodies/Prince Madoc's Farewell

14
PRINCE MADOC'S FAREWELL.
Why lingers my gaze where the last hues of day  On the hills of my country in loveliness sleep? Too fair is the sight for a wand'rer, whose way  Lies far o'er the measureless worlds of the deep! Fall, shadows of twilight! and veil the green shore, That the heart of the mighty may waver no more!
Why rise on my thoughts, ye free songs of the land  Where the harp's lofty soul on each wild wind is borne? Be hush'd, be forgotten! for ne'er shall the hand  Of minstrel with melody greet my return. —No! no!—let your echoes still float on the breeze, And my heart shall be strong for the conquest of seas!
'Tis not for the land of my sires to give birth  Unto bosoms that shrink when their trial is nigh; Away! we will bear over ocean and earth  A name and a spirit that never shall die. My course to the winds, to the stars, I resign; But my soul's quenchless fire, O my country! is thine.

a federal court decision about the scope of copyright protection for laws adopted by state and municipal governments. A majority of the court held that, although copyright protection attached to model codes drafted by a private organization, copyright no longer applied as soon as the works were enacted into municipal law. The decision is noteworthy in part for extending the general principle, that laws and legislation are uncopyrightable, below the level of the federal government to states and municipalities. The decision is also noteworthy for the strong disagreement between the majority and the dissenting judges over the proper level of copyright protection for such works.

# Velasco

A tragedy, in five acts. First performed at Tremont Theatre, Boston

## Dedication

To WILLIAM C, PRESTON
of South Carolina This drama is respectfully inscribed.

## Preface

The basis of this play is historical, though many of its scenes and situations are purely imaginary. All that may seem strange or unnatural in the conduct of the drama is in strict accordance with popular tradition. The general action of the piece is derived from incidents in the career of Rodrigo Diaz, the Cid, whose achievements constitute so considerable a portion of the historical and romantic literature of Spain. The subject has been variously treated by French and Spanish dramatists, among others by the celebrated Corneille, but the writer is not aware that it has ever been successfully introduced upon the English stage.
A few copies of this play were printed for the Theatre in July, 1837. During the following November it was represented on the Tremont boards in Boston, Miss Ellen Tree personating the part of Izidora. With the support of her distinguished talents, united to the friendly exertions of Mr. Barry, the Manager, in producing the piece in a liberal and effective manner, it was received by the public with more indulgence than the Author had ventured to anticipate.

# University of Calcutta Special Convocation Address 1921/Speech by H. R. H. the Prince of Wales

SPEECH
BY
H. R. H. THE PRINCE OF WALES
​After H. R. H. had received the Degree, he spoke as follows:
Your Excellency, Mr. Vice-Chancellor, Ladies and Gentlemen,
I thank you for the very high honour which you have conferred on me by granting me an honorary degree of your University.
My father, His Imperial Majesty the King Emperor, received this honour at your hands in 1906, and six years later recalled the pleasure which the ceremony had afforded to him, in his reply to a loyal address presented to him by the representatives of your University.
On the latter occasion His Majesty dwelt on the high ideals which should animate Universities in India, and in his confidence that the labours of your governing body would be inspired by those noble standards and that you would shoulder your high responsibilities with a courage which would command success. At the same time His Majesty’s deep interest in the cause of education was shown by his special commands to his Governor General regarding the expansion and improvement of education generally in India. ​ I am gratified to hear that his wishes in the latter respect have borne fruit. It will be of interest to His Majesty to learn from me that his confidence in you was not misplaced; and that in the rapid expansion of educational facilities, which has occurred, one of the important features has been the co-operation of bodies such as your University, in measures calculated to extend and improve the system of higher education in India in proportion to the expansion and progress which is taking place in other departments of education in this country. That this co-operation is cheerfully given in the face of financial and other difficulties redounds to your credit.
Gentlemen, I will not detain you longer. I trust that the honorary degree with which you have presented me to-day, will form a real bond of union between me and the University of Calcutta.

31 U.S. 634
United States v. M'Daniel
The declaration is for a balance of accounts of nine hundred and eighty-eight dollars and ninety-four cents; and the ad damnum is laid at two thousand dollars. The bill of exceptions shows, that the United States claimed interest on the balance due to them. There is general verdict for the defendant. Under these circumstances, it is no objection to the jurisdiction that the bill of exceptions was taken by the counsel for the United States to a refusal of the circuit court to grant an instruction asked by the United States, which was applicable to certain items of credit only, claimed by the defendant, which would reduce the debt below the sum of one thousand dollars. The court cannot judicially know that influence that refusal had upon the verdict.
The motion was overruled.
