"I am haunted by numberless islands, and many a Danaan shore, Where Time would surely forget us, and Sorrow come near us no more; Soon far from the rose and the lily, and fret of the flames we would be, Were we only white birds, my beloved, buoyed out on the foam of the sea!"

# Scented Isles and Coral Gardens: Torres Straits, German New Guinea and the Dutch East Indies/L'Envoi

IF there be any who have travelled with me through all these lands I have written about, I thank them for their good-nature, and their endurance of my many moods.
I have treated them almost as if they were intimate friends with whom one need not be formal, because I know the world I live in, and that there are still in it many kindly human beings who respond to friendly greetings; and to them I now bid Farewell.

# Six favourite songs (1)/The Doctors

THE DOCTORS.
Be honours which to kings we give, To doctors also paid; We’re the king’s subjects while we live, The doctor’s when we’re dead.
Though when in health and thoughtless mood We treat them oft with scoffing, Yet they, returning ill with good, Relieve us from our coughing. (coffin)
At times they kill us, to be sure, In cases rather tickle; But when they’ve killed, they still can cure Their patients—in a pickle.
​And when at last we needs must die— The doctors cannot save— From death—they still most kindly try To snatch us from the grave.

# Scenes and Hymns of Life, with Other Religious Poems/Hymn of the Traveller's Household on his Return

HYMN OF THE TRAVELLER'S HOUSEHOLD ON HIS RETURN.
IN THE OLDEN TIME.
Joy! the lost one is restored! Sunshine comes to hearth and board. From the far-off countries old Of the diamond and red gold; From the dusky archer bands, Roamers of the fiery sands; From the desert winds, whose breath Smites with sudden silent death; He hath reached his home again,  Where we sing In thy praise a fervent strain,  God our King!
Mightiest! unto Thee he turned, When the noon-day fiercest burned; When the fountain springs were far, And the sounds of Arab war Swelled upon the sultry blast, And the sandy columns past, Unto Thee he cried! and Thou, Merciful! didst hear his vow! Therefore unto Thee again  Joy shall sing, Many a sweet and thankful strain,  God our King!
Thou wert with him on the main, And the snowy mountain chain, And the rivers, dark and wide, Which through Indian forests glide, Thou didst guard him from the wrath Of the lion in his path, And the arrows on the breeze, And the dropping poison-trees:
Therefore from our household train  Oft shall spring Unto Thee a blessing strain,  God our King!
Thou to his lone watching wife Hast brought back the light of life! Thou hast spared his loving child Home to greet him from the wild. Though the suns of eastern skies On his cheek have set their dyes, Though long toils and sleepless cares On his brow have blanched the hairs, Yet the night of fear is flown, He is living, and our own!— Brethren! spread his festal board, Hang his mantle and his sword With the armour on the wall— While this long, long silent hall
Joyfully doth hear again  Voice and string Swell to Thee the exulting strain,  God our King!
# Scenes and Hymns of Life, with Other Religious Poems/Hymn of the Vaudois Mountaineers in Times of Persecution

HYMN OF THE VAUDOIS MOUNTAINEERS IN TIMES OF PERSECUTION.
"Thanks be to God for the mountains!" Howitt's Book of the Seasons.
For the strength of the hills we bless thee,  Our God, our fathers' God! Thou hast made thy children mighty,  By the touch of the mountain sod. Thou hast fix'd our ark of refuge  Where the spoiler's foot ne'er trod; For the strength of the hills we bless thee,  Our God, our fathers' God!
We are watchers of a beacon  Whose light must never die; We are guardians of an altar  Midst the silence of the sky: The rocks yield founts of courage,  Struck forth as by thy rod; For the strength of the hills we bless thee,  Our God, our fathers' God!
For the dark resounding caverns,  Where thy still, small voice is heard; For the strong pines of the forests,  That by thy breath are stirr'd; For the storms, on whose free pinions  Thy spirit walks abroad; For the strength of the hills we bless thee,  Our God, our fathers' God!
The royal eagle darteth  On his quarry from the heights, And the stag that knows no master,  Seeks there his wild delights; But we, for thy communion,  Have sought the mountain sod; For the strength of the hills we bless thee,  Our God, our fathers' God!
The banner of the chieftain,  Far, far below us waves; The war-horse of the spearman  Cannot reach our lofty caves: Thy dark clouds wrap the threshold  Of freedom's last abode; For the strength of the hills we bless thee,  Our God, our fathers' God!
For the shadow of thy presence,  Bound our camp of rock outspread; For the stern defiles of battle,  Bearing record of our dead; For the snows and for the torrents,  For the free heart's burial sod; For the strength of the hills we bless thee.  Our God, our fathers' God!

I.
INVOCATION.
As the tired voyager on stormy seas  Invokes the coming of bright birds from shore, To waft him tidings, with the gentler breeze,  Of dim sweet woods that hear no billows roar;  So from the depth of days, when earth yet wore Her solemn beauty and primeval dew,  I call you, gracious Forms! Oh! come, restore Awhile that holy freshness, and renew Life's morning dreams. Come with the voice, the lyre,  Daughters of Judah! with the timbrel rise!  Ye of the dark prophetic eastern eyes, Imperial in their visionary fire; Oh! steep my soul in that old glorious time, When God's own whisper shook the cedars of your clime!
# Scenes and Hymns of Life, with Other Religious Poems/Evening Song of the Weary

EVENING SONG OF THE WEARY.
Father of Heaven and Earth!  I bless thee for the night,  The soft, still night! The holy pause of care and mirth,  Of sound and light!
 Now, far in glade and dell,  Flower-cup, and bud, and bell, Have shut around the sleeping woodlark's nest—  The bee's long murmuring toils are done.  And I, the o'erwearied one,
O'erwearied and o'erwrought, Bless thee, O God, O Father of th' oppress'd,  With my last waking thought,  In the still night!
 Yes, e'er I sink to rest,  By the fire's dying light,  Thou Lord of Earth and Heaven!  I bless thee, who hast given Unto life's fainting travellers, the night,  The soft, still, holy night!
# Scenes and Hymns of Life, with Other Religious Poems/Communings with Thought

COMMUNINGS WITH THOUGHT.
Could we but keep our spirits to that height, We might be happy; but this clay will sink Its spark immortal. Byron.
Return, my thoughts, come home! Ye wild and wing'd! what do ye o'er the deep? And wherefore thus th' abyss of time o'ersweep,  As birds the ocean foam?
 Swifter than shooting star, Swifter than lances of the northern light, Upspringing through the purple heaven of night,  Hath been your course afar!
Through the bright battle-clime, Where laurel boughs make dim the Grecian streams, And reeds are whispering of heroic themes,  By temples of old time:
 Through the north's ancient halls, Where banners thrill'd of yore, where harp strings rung, But grass waves now o'er those that fought and sung—  Hearth-light hath left their walls!
 Through forests old and dim, Where o'er the leaves dread magic seems to brood, And sometimes on the haunted solitude  Rises the pilgrim's hymn:
 Or where some fountain lies, With lotus-cups through orient spice-woods gleaming! There have ye been, ye wanderers! idly dreaming  Of man's lost paradise!
Return, my thoughts, return! Cares wait your presence in life's daily track, And voices, not of music, call you back—  Harsh voices, cold and stern!
 Oh! no, return ye not! Still farther, loftier, let your soarings be! Go, bring me strength from journeyings bright and free,  O'er many a haunted spot.
 Go, seek the martyr's grave, Midst the old mountains, and the deserts vast; Or, through the ruin'd cities of the past,  Follow the wise and brave!
 Go, visit cell and shrine! Where woman hath endured!—through wrong, through scorn, Uncheer'd by fame, yet silently upborne  By promptings more divine!
Go, shoot the gulf of death! Track the pure spirit where no chain can bind, Where the heart's boundless love its rest may find,  Where the storm sends no breath!
 Higher, and yet more high! Shake off the cumbering chain which earth would lay On your victorious wings—mount, mount!—Your way  Is through eternity!

A SERIES OF SONNETS
Your tents are desolate; your stately steps, Of all their choral dances, have not left One trace beside the fountains: your full cup Of gladness and of trembling, each alike Is broken: yet, amidst undying things, The mind still keeps your loveliness, and still All the fresh glories of the early world Hang round you in the spirit's pictured halls, Never to change!

CHARLES GRENVILLE RANDOLPH, Esq. [Post-Captain of 1827.]
Entered the royal navy, in 1806, as midshipman on board the Donegal 74, Captain (now Sir Pulteney) Malcolm, under whom he continued to serve for nearly five years, principally on the Channel station. In 1808, he witnessed the landing of the British army, under Sir Arthur Wellesley (now Duke of Wellington) on the shores of Portugal; and in Feb. 1809, the destruction of three French frigates, in the Sable d’Ollone; on which occasion the Donegal had seven men killed and ​wounded: he was also present at the memorable attack made upon the enemy’s squadron in Aix Roads, April 11th, 1809; and at the attempt made by Captain Malcolm to destroy two frigates, under the batteries of Cape La Hogue, in Nov. 1810. We subsequently find him serving on board the San Josef 110, bearing the flag of Lord Keith, commander-in-chief of the Channel fleet. His first commission, whereby he was appointed a lieutenant of the Impetueux 78, flag-ship of Vice-Admiral (now Sir George) Martin, on the Lisbon station, bears date Aug. 14th, 1812.
Lieutenant Randolph’s next appointment was, May 13th, 1813, to the Eurotas frigate. Captain (now Sir John) Phillimore, whom he “ably assisted” in the gallant and hard-fought action between that ship and la Clorinde, of 44 guns, Feb. 25th, 1814. The official account, and some additional particulars, of this severe conflict, will be found in Suppl. Part I. pp. 245–249.
In consequence of the dangerous wounds received by Captain Phillimore, the Eurotas was afterwards commanded, pro tempore, by Captains Edmund S. P.

HENRY RAPER, Esq Rear-Admiral of the White.
This officer was a Lieutenant of the Queen Charlotte, the flag-ship of Earl Howe, in the battle of June 1, 1794; soon after which glorious event, he was promoted to the rank of Commander; and in the following year appointed, at the recommendation of the above-named nobleman, Major of Signals to the Portuguese squadron, acting in conjunction with the British fleet under his Lordship’s orders. In consideration of his services, the Chevalier d’Almeida, by order of his court, presented Captain Raper with an elegant dress sword, the hilt of which is of gold, beautifully ornamented with medallions, and richly set round with diamonds.
His next appointment was to the Racoon sloop; and on the 1st Feb. 1796, he obtained post rank in the Champion, of 20 guns, which ship formed part of the squadron employed under the orders of the late Sir Home Popham, in the unfortunate expedition against Ostend. She also assisted at the capture ​of a Swedish convoy, laden with warlike stores, intended to replenish the French arsenals; an account of which we have already given, at p. 497, et seq.
​Early in 1799, Captain Raper was appointed to l’Aimable Frigate; and towards the latter end of that year, sailed from Cork, in company with the Glenmore, of 44 guns, and a fleet of merchantmen, bound to the West Indies. On the 17th Dec, they fell in with la Syrene, a heavy French frigate, and la Bergere corvette, from Cayenne, having the celebrated Victor Hugues on board. These vessels had just before captured the Calcutta, an extra East Indiaman, and were removing her crew, when, on the clearing up of a fog, they were discovered to leeward, by Captain Duff of the Glenmore, who retook the Calcutta. Captain Raper, in the mean time, pursued the French men ofwar, and in a spirited manner brought them to action, which continued for 35 minutes, when they made off, though so much superior to l’Aimable. The Glenmore, taking care of her recapture and her valuable charge, could not render any assistance to her consort.
Captain Raper continued on the Leeward Island station until the suspension of hostilities, in 1801 . During the latter part of the late war with France, he commanded the Mars, of 74 guns. His first commission as a Rear-Admiral, bears date Aug. 12, 1819.
