# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/The Frozen Zone; or, Julia Disdainful

115. THE FROZEN ZONE; OR, JULIA DISDAINFUL.
Whither? say, whither shall I fly, To slack these flames wherein I fry? To the treasures, shall I go, Of the rain, frost, hail, and snow? Shall I search the underground, Where all damps and mists are found? Shall I seek (for speedy ease) All the floods and frozen seas? Or descend into the deep, Where eternal cold does keep? These may cool; but there's a zone Colder yet than anyone: That's my Julia's breast, where dwells Such destructive icicles, As that the congelation will Me sooner starve than those can kill.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/The Eye

133. THE EYE.
Make me a heaven, and make me there Many a less and greater sphere: Make me the straight and oblique lines, The motions, lations and the signs. Make me a chariot and a sun, And let them through a zodiac run; Next place me zones and tropics there, With all the seasons of the year. Make me a sunset and a night, And then present the morning's light Cloth'd in her chamlets of delight.
To these make clouds to pour down rain, With weather foul, then fair again. And when, wise artist, that thou hast With all that can be this heaven grac't, Ah! what is then this curious sky But only my Corinna's eye?
Lations, astral attractions. Chamlets, i.e., camlets, stuffs made from camels' hair.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/The Entertainment; or, Porch-verse, at the Marriage of Mr. Henry Northly and the Most Witty Mrs. Lettice Yard

313. THE ENTERTAINMENT; OR, PORCH-VERSE, AT THE MARRIAGE OF MR. HENRY NORTHLY AND THE MOST WITTY MRS. LETTICE YARD.
Welcome! but yet no entrance, till we bless First you, then you, and both for white success. Profane no porch, young man and maid, for fear Ye wrong the Threshold-god that keeps peace here: Please him, and then all good-luck will betide You, the brisk bridegroom, you, the dainty bride. Do all things sweetly, and in comely wise; Put on your garlands first, then sacrifice: That done, when both of you have seemly fed, We'll call on Night, to bring ye both to bed: Where, being laid, all fair signs looking on, Fish-like, increase then to a million; And millions of spring-times may ye have, Which spent, one death bring to ye both one grave.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/The Frozen Heart

13. THE FROZEN HEART
I freeze, I freeze, and nothing dwells In me but snow and icicles. For pity's sake, give your advice, To melt this snow and thaw this ice. I'll drink down flames; but if so be Nothing but love can supple me, I'll rather keep this frost and snow Than to be thaw'd or heated so.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/The Dream (By dream I saw one of the three)

399. THE DREAM.
By dream I saw one of the three Sisters of fate appear to me; Close to my bedside she did stand, Showing me there a firebrand; She told me too, as that did spend, So drew my life unto an end. Three quarters were consum'd of it; Only remained a little bit, Which will be burnt up by-and-by; Then, Julia, weep, for I must die.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/The Eyes

290. THE EYES.
'Tis a known principle in war, The eyes be first that conquered are.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/The End (If well thou hast begun, go on fore-right)

309. THE END.
If well thou hast begun, go on fore-right; It is the end that crowns us, not the fight.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/The Good-night or Blessing

314. THE GOOD-NIGHT OR BLESSING.
Blessings in abundance come To the bride and to her groom; May the bed and this short night Know the fulness of delight! Pleasures many here attend ye, And, ere long, a boy Love send ye Curled and comely, and so trim, Maids, in time, may ravish him. Thus a dew of graces fall On ye both; good-night to all.
# The Hesperides & Noble Numbers/Hesperides/The Dream (Methought last night love in an anger came)

40. THE DREAM.
Methought last night Love in an anger came And brought a rod, so whipt me with the same; Myrtle the twigs were, merely to imply Love strikes, but 'tis with gentle cruelty. Patient I was: Love pitiful grew then And strok'd the stripes, and I was whole again. Thus, like a bee, Love gentle still doth bring Honey to salve where he before did sting.
# The Green Helmet and Other Poems/The Fascination of What's Difficult

THE FASCINATION OF WHAT'S DIFFICULT
The fascination of what's difficult Has dried the sap out of my veins, and rent Spontaneous joy and natural content Out of my heart. There's something ails our colt That must, as if it had not holy blood, Nor on an Olympus leaped from cloud to cloud. Shiver under the lash, strain, sweat and jolt As though it dragged road metal. My curse on plays That have to be set up in fifty ways,
On the day's war with every knave and dolt, Theatre business, management of men. I swear before the dawn comes round again I'll find the stable and pull out the bolt.
# The Green Helmet and Other Poems/These are the Clouds

THESE ARE THE CLOUDS
These are the clouds about the fallen sun, The majesty that shuts his burning eye; The weak lay hand on what the strong has done, Till that be tumbled that was lifted high And discord follow upon unison, And all things at one common level lie. And therefore, friend, if your great race were run And these things came, so much the more thereby Have you made greatness your companion, Although it be for children that you sigh: These are the clouds about the fallen sun, The majesty that shuts his burning eye.
# The Green Helmet and Other Poems/The Coming of Wisdom with Time

THE COMING OF WISDOM WITH TIME
Though leaves are many, the root is one; Though the lying days of my youth I swayed my leaves and flowers in the sun; Now I may wither into the truth.
# The Green Helmet and Other Poems/The Attack on the "Play Boy"

THE ATTACK ON THE "PLAY BOY"
Once, when midnight smote the air, Eunuchs ran through Hell and met Round about Hell's gate, to stare At great Juan riding by, And like these to rail and sweat, Maddened by that sinewy thigh.
# The Green Helmet and Other Poems/The Cold Heaven

THE COLD HEAVEN
Suddenly I saw the cold and rook delighting Heaven That seemed as though ice burned and was but the more ice, And thereupon imagination and heart were driven So wild, that every casual thought of that and this Vanished, and left but memories, that should be out of season With the hot blood of youth, of love crossed long ago; And I took all the blame out of all sense and reason,
Until I cried and trembled and rocked to and fro, Riddled with light. Ah! when the ghost begins to quicken, Confusion of the death-bed over, is it sent Out naked on the roads, as the books say, and stricken By the injustice of the skies for punishment?
# The Green Helmet and Other Poems/The Young Man's Song

THE YOUNG MAN'S SONG
I whispered, "I am too young," And then, "I am old enough," Wherefore I threw a penny To find out if I might love; "Go and love, go and love young man, If the lady be young and fair," Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny, I am looped in the loops of her hair.
Oh love is the crooked thing, There is nobody wise enough To find out all that is in it, For he would be thinking of love Till the stars had run away, And the shadows eaten the moon; Ah, penny, brown penny, brown penny, One cannot begin it too soon.
# The Green Helmet and Other Poems/To a Poet, who would have me Praise

TO A POET, WHO WOULD HAVE ME PRAISE CERTAIN BAD POETS, IMITATORS OF HIS AND MINE
You say, as I have often given tongue In praise of what another's said or sung, 'T were politic to do the like by these; But where's the wild dog that has praised his fleas?
# The Green Helmet and Other Poems/That the Night Come

THAT THE NIGHT COME
She lived in storm and strife. Her soul had such desire For what proud death may bring That it could not endure The common good of life, But lived as 't were a king That packed his marriage day With banneret and pennon, Trumpet and kettledrum, And the outrageous cannon, To bundle Time away That the night come.

15. The Building of the Temple.
And thus she did when her friends brought many a kind greeting over the fastness of waters from the west. Then the queen bade seek far and near those1020 skilled in the arts, the best of those who could work most wondrously in the laying of stone upon stone, that they might raise a temple of God upon that place. As the Lord of spirits counseled her from the heavens, she bade deck out the rood with gold ​and with gems, adorn it most artfully with precious1025 stones; then to seal it with locks in a casket of silver. There hath the rood of life, best tree of victory, dwelt since then, indestructible in its nobleness. There shall it be ever ready, a solace for1030 the ill of any disease, affliction, or sorrow. Then straightway shall men find aid and divine grace through that holy form.

16. The Conversion of Judas.
Then after a little space Judas received the bath of baptism, and, cleansed [of his sins], was true to1035 Christ, dear to the Lord of life. His faith was steadfast in his heart when the Spirit of comfort had taken up his dwelling in the breast of the man, and had urged him unto repentance. He chose the better course, the gladness of glory, and forsook the1040 worse, the way of the idolater, and cast aside his heresy, the law of unrighteousness. God, the eternal King, Creator, and Wielder of power, was gracious unto him.
Then he was baptized who many times had scorned the light; . . . his heart was inspired1045 unto the better life; he was turned unto glory. Verily fate decreed that he should become thus filled with faith, thus dear unto God and beloved of Christ in the kingdom of the world. This was made manifest1050 when Elene bade bring unto the holy city Eusebius, the bishop of Rome, exceeding wise amid the councils of men, to aid in her deliberation, and to ordain Judas into the priesthood at Jerusalem1055 as bishop for the people in the cities, prudently ​chosen through the grace of the Spirit for the temple of God. And in later times upon a new occasion she wisely named him Cyriacus. Henceforth1060 the name of the man was changed for the better throughout the cities—‘The law of the Lord’.

PREFACE
This translation was made from the edition of the Elene issued by Charles W. Kent in 1889 (Ginn & Co., Boston). His text is ‘that of Zupitza’s second edition, carefully compared with Wülker’s edition and Zupitza’s third edition, in which the results of Napier’s collation are contained.’
The aim of this translation is to give an accurate and readable modern English prose rendering of the Old English poetry. The translation of Richard Francis Weymouth, entitled A Literal Translation of Cynewulf’s Elene, has been at hand, but I owe it practically nothing in this work. While I trust that my rendering has not departed so far from the text that it will be valueless to the student, yet at places it will be found that I have to some extent expanded or contracted the literal translation in the hope of benefiting the modern English version.
My thanks are due to Dr. Robert K. Root and Dr. Chauncey B. Tinker of Yale University, and to Dr. Charles H. Whitman of Lehigh University, for examining part of the work in manuscript, and to Dr. Albert S. Cook of Yale University for a careful reading of the proof.

# The Elene of Cynewulf/Chapter 14

14. The Embassy to Constantine.
Then was the fair news of the morning manifest among the nation, spread far throughout the people, to the vexation of many who would keep secret the970 law of the Lord. It was heralded through the cities, as far as the sea embosoms the land, through every town, that the rood of Christ, buried of yore in the earth, had been found, best emblem of victory of them that were raised aloft before or since, holy975 beneath the heavens. Unto the Jews, men of misfortune, it was a most bitter grief and most hated of fates that they could change neither it nor the joy of the Christians in the world. Then the queen980 bade messengers from her noble company make them ready with haste, for they were to seek the lord of the Romans over the deep sea, and declare unto that warrior in person the best of glad tidings—how the tree of victory, that had been hidden a long985 time before to grieve the holy ones, the Christian people, had been discovered and found in the earth through the grace of the Creator.
​Then was the soul of the king rejoiced at that990 fair news, and his heart filled with gladness. And in the city there was no want of richly-clad questioners concerning what was come from afar. The greatest comfort in the world, a joyful soul, was995 come unto him at these glad tidings which the messengers, leaders of the army, brought to him over the eastern ways, how the warriors with the glorious queen had made a prosperous voyage over the sea into the land of the Greeks. The emperor bade them prepare themselves again for the journey with1000 the greatest haste. The warriors made no delay when once they heard the answer, the message of the prince. He bade them, heroes hardy of soul, give greeting to Elene, renowned in war, if they should survive the sea and make a prosperous1005 voyage unto the holy city. And Constantine furthermore bade the messengers charge her to build a church there on the mountain-slope for the weal of them both, a temple of the Lord on Calvary for1010 the joy of Christ and the solace of men, there where the holy rood was found, fairest of all trees the dwellers on earth have ever known.1015

ELENE
1. The Emperor Constantine.
There had passed in the turn of years, as men mark the tale of time, two hundred and thirty and three winters over the world since the Lord God, the Glory of kings and Light of the faithful, was born on earth in human guise; and it was the sixth5 year of the reign of Constantine since he was raised in the realm of the Romans to lead their army, a prince of battles. He was a bulwark to his people,10 valiant with the shield, and gracious to his heroes; and the prince’s realm waxed great beneath the heavens. He was a just king, a war-lord of men. God strengthened him with majesty and might till15 he became a joy to many men throughout the world, an avenger for his people when he raised aloft his spear against their foes.

12. The Miracle of the True Cross.
Thereupon the glad and zealous man set forth the three trees of victory before Elene in open view.850 The queen rejoiced in her heart at the deed, and asked on which of those trees the Son of the King, Giver of joy to men, was crucified: ‘Lo! we heard it declared from the holy book that two suffered with Him, and He Himself was the third on the855 cross. All the heavens grew dark in that woful hour. Say, if thou knowest, on which of these trees the Lord of angels and Prince of glory suffered.’
But Judas could not declare unto her fully concerning860 that tree of victory, on which the Saviour, the conquering Son of God, was hung, for he wist it not assuredly. Then he bade set the crosses with tumult in the midst of the fair city, there to abide865 until the King Almighty should show forth a miracle before the people through that tree of glory. With souls uplifted in their victory, they sat themselves down about the rood, and with earnest thought raised their voices in song until the ninth hour, when they had new joy, gloriously gained.870 For many came there, no small multitude, and among the press of men close by on a bier they brought one who was dead, a young man, lifeless; and it was the ninth hour.
And there was the heart of Judas gladdened with875 great joy. He bade them set down upon the earth him whose soul had fled, the body forsaken of life, the dead man, and he himself, wise and earnest revealer of truth, raised up in his arms two of those880 crosses over the lifeless frame. But the body, fast ​on its couch, was dead as before. The limbs were cold, enwrapped with their dire fate. Then the third, the holy one, was raised aloft. The body885 waited until the rood, the cross of the King of heaven, the true sign of victory, was laid upon the man; then he straightway rose up, restored in spirit, both body and soul together. And there was great890 laud raised among the people; they revered the Father, and honored the true Son of the King in their speech. To Him be glory and thanksgiving without end from all creatures.

# The Fauna of British India, including Ceylon and Burma/Birds/Order Passeres/Family Sittidæ

Fig. 24.—Sitta himalayensis.
Family SITTIDÆ.
The family of Sittidæ, or Nuthatches, is one which it is not easy to place in any system of arrangement of the Order Passeres. Oates placed them between the Bulbuls {Pycnonotidæ) and the Drongos (Dicruridæ), with neither of which can they have any possible connection. Hartert places them between the Certhiidæ and Paridæ, an excellent position, but making these three families form a group entirely by themselves having no close connexion with those which come before or after. In the present work the preceding family, the Paradoxornithidæ, is an obvious link between the Paridæ and the Timaliidæ, and a position between these families seems, perhaps, the best for the Sittidæ. In many ways they are closely allied to the Tits, especially anatomically, and though they have not such close affinities with the Timaliidæ, they may well be an offshoot from the Paridæ, the other end of ​which has no visible link with any of the other families of Passeres in the area we cover, whilst the Timaliidæ are another development in a different direction.
In this family the edges of the upper mandible are smooth, or the upper one simply notched; the hinder aspect of the tarsus smooth, composed of two entire longitudinal laminae and other features as already given in the key to the Families. The nostrils are overhung by some hairs and the rictal bristles are present; the feet are very strongly developed for the purpose of climbing, the hind toe and claw are very powerful and the inner toe and claw dwarfed; the bill is about as long as the head, fairly stout and straight. The wing is long and pointed and the first primary is always less than half the second. The tail is short and square or very slightly rounded. The sexes are dissimilar.
Only one genus of Nuthatch, Sitta, is found within our limits. The little Velvet-fronted Nuthatch is sometimes separated under the name Dendrophila but without any very apparent reason or necessity. I follow Oates in uniting them all under one name.
