# Ben King's Verse/The River St. Joe

Where the bumblebee sips and the clover is red, And the zephyrs come laden with peach blow  perfume, Where the thistle-down pauses in search of the rose And the myrtle and woodbine and wild ivy grows; Where the catbird pipes up and it sounds most divine Off there in the branches of some lonely pine; Oh, give me the spot that I once used to know By the side of the placid old River St. Joe!
How oft on its banks I have sunk in a dream, Where the willows bent over me kissing the stream, My boat with its nose sort of resting on shore, While the cat-tails stood gaurding a runaway oar; It appeared like to me, that they sort of had some Way of knowing that I would soon get overcome, With the meadow lark singing just over the spot I didn't care whether I floated or not-- Just resting out there for an hour or so On the banks of the tranquil old River St. Joe.
Where the tall grasses nod at the close of the day, And the sycamore's shadow is slanting away-- Where the whip-poor-will chants from a far distant  limb Just as if the whole business was all made for him. Oh! it's now that my thoughts, flying back on the  wings Of the rail and the die-away song that he sings, Brings the tears to my eyes that drip off into rhyme, And I live once again in the old summer time; For my soul it seems caught in old time's under-tow And I'm floating away down the River St. Joe.
# Ben King's Verse/The Post Driver

The lingering loon flies over the marsh  And the night bird nestles in dew, The river is cold and the winds are harsh,  But what is it that goes cuhchoo?  What is it that goes cuhchoo, cuhchoo?  Oh, what is it that goes cuhchoo?
The rail comes up from his lushy bed  And wings to the realms of blue; Wild lillies soak where the bullfrogs croak,  But what is it that goes cuhchoo?  What is it that goes cuhchoo, cuhchoo?  Oh, what is it that goes cuhchoo?
O'er the whispering reeds the rice-hen speeds,  And the meadow larks singing anew, And I know in the swail the song of the rail,  But what is it that goes cuhchoo?  What is it that goes cuhchoo, cuhchoo?  Oh, what is it that goes cuhchoo?
# Ben King's Verse/The Yaller Jackets' Nest

If I could only wander back  To boyhood jest one day, So'st' I could have my chice agin  Of games we used to play, I'd let the kites an' marbles go,  An' say, "Come on, boys! let's All go out a-huntin' fer  The yaller jackets' nest."
Jest to lay up in the shadder  Of the fence once agin Of the old vacant lot  'At the cows pastured in, Where the dandelions were bloomin',  'N there take a rest, While you listen to the music  'Round the yaller jackets' nest.
There was one 'at allers went along  An' romped with us 'n raced, With her sun-bonnet a-hangin' back  'N curls down to 'er waist, In the checkered little frock she wore  Of gingham,--what a pest She was to us when huntin' fer  The yaller jackets' nest.
It's the prime of the blossms  'At's a-hangin' from the trees An' the music of the buzzin'  'At brings lonesome memories, Fer it seems as if I heerd her say  "You better look out, lest They all swarm out and sting yeh  From the yaller jackets' nest."
Sometimes I think I hear 'er voice  An' see 'er eyes of blue, That borried all their color from  The sky 'at peeks at you Between the clouds in summer  After rain has fell an' blessed The flowers an' openin' blossoms  'Round the yaller jackets' nest.
# Ben King's Verse/Toboggan

Down from the hills and over the snow Swift as a meteor's flash we go,  Toboggan! Toboggan! Toboggan! Down from the hills with our senses lost, Jealous of cheeks that are kissed by the frost,  Toboggan! Toboggan! Toboggan!
With snow piled high on housetop and hill, O'er frozen rivulet, river, and rill, Clad in her jacket of sealskin and fur, Down from the hills I'm sliding with her,  Toboggan! Toboggan! Toboggan!
Down from the hills, what an awful speed! As if on the back of a frightened steed,  Toboggan! Toboggan! Toboggan! Down from the hills at the rise of the moon, Merrily singing the toboggan tune,  "Toboggan! Toboggan! Toboggan!"
Down from the hills like an arrow we fly, Or a comet that whizzes along through the sky; Down from the hills! Oh, isn't it grand! Clasping your best winter girl by the hand,  Toboggan! Toboggan! Toboggan!
Down from the hills and both growing old, Down from the hills we are nearing the fold:  Toboggan! Toboggan! Toboggan! Close to the homestead we hear the ring Of children's voices that cheerily sing,  "Toboggan! Toboggan! Toboggan!"
Down from the hills and we hear the chime Of bells that are ringing out Old Father Time; Down from the hills we are riding away, Nearing the life with its endless day;  Toboggan! Toboggan! Toboggan!

# The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia/XIX

CHAP. XIX. A Glimpse of pastoral life.
HE was still eager upon the same enquiry; and, having heard of a hermit, that lived near the lowest cataract of the Nile, and filled the whole country with the fame of his sanctity, resolved to visit his retreat, and enquire whether that felicity, which publick life could not afford, was to be found in solitude; and whether a man, whose age and virtue made him venerable, could teach any peculiar art of shunning evils, or enduring them.
​Imlac and the princess agreed to accompany him, and, after the necessary preparations, they began their journey. Their way lay through fields, where shepherds tended their flocks, and the lambs were playing upon the pasture. "This, said the poet, is the life which has been often celebrated for its innocence and quiet: let us pass the heat of the day among the shepherds tents, and know whether all our searches are not to terminate in pastoral simplicity."
The proposal pleased them, and they induced the shepherds, by small presents and familiar questions, to tell their opinion of their own state: they were so rude and ignorant, so little able to compare the good with the evil of the occupation, and so indistinct in their ​narratives and descriptions, that very little could be learned from them. But it was evident that their hearts were cankered with discontent; that they considered themselves as condemned to labour for the luxury of the rich, and looked up with stupid malevolence toward those that were placed above them.
The princess pronounced with vehemence, that she would never suffer these envious savages to be her companions, and that she should not soon be desirous of seeing any more specimens of rustick happiness but could not believe that all the accounts of primeval pleasures were fabulous, and was yet in doubt whether life had any thing that could be justly preferred to the placid gratifications of fields and woods. She hoped that the ​time would come, when, with a few virtuous and elegant companions, she should gather flowers planted by her own hand, fondle the lambs of her own ewe, and listen, without care, among brooks and breezes, to one of her maidens reading in the shade.
# The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia/XLIII

CHAP. XLII. The astronomer leaves Imlac his directions.
"HEAR therefore, what I shall impart, with attention, such as the welfare of a world requires. If the task of a king be considered as difficult, who has the care only of a few millions, to whom he cannot do much good or harm, what must be the anxiety of him, on whom depend the action of the elements, and the great gifts of light and heat!— Hear me therefore with attention.
"I have diligently considered the position of the earth and sun, and formed ​innumerable schemes in which I changed their situation. I have sometimes turned aside the axis of the earth, and sometimes varied the ecliptick of the sun: but I have found it impossible to make a disposition by which the world may be advantaged; what one region gains, another loses by any imaginable alteration, even without considering the distant parts of the solar system with which we are unacquainted. Do not, therefore, in thy administration of the year, indulge thy pride by innovation; do not please thyself with thinking that thou canst make thyself renowned to all future ages, by disordering the seasons. The memory of mischief is no desirable fame. Much less will it become thee to let kindness or interest prevail. Never rob other ​countries of rain to pour it on thine own. For us the Nile is sufficient."
"I promised that when I possessed the power, I would use it with inflexible integrity, and he dismissed me, pressing my hand." "My heart, said he, will be now at rest, and my benevolence will no more destroy my quiet: I have found a man of wisdom and virtue, to whom I can chearfully bequeath the inheritance of the sun."
The prince heard this narration with very serious regard, but the princess smiled, and Pekuah convulsed herself with laughter. "Ladies, said Imlac, to mock the heaviest of human afflictions is neither charitable nor wise. Few can attain this man's knowledge, ​and few practice his virtues; but all may suffer his calamity. Of the uncertainties of our present state, the most dreadful and alarming is the uncertain continuance of reason."
The princess was recollected, and the favourite was abashed. Rasselas, more deeply affected, enquired of Imlac, whether he thought such maladies of the mind frequent, and how they were contracted.
# The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia/XLI

CHAP. XL. The astronomer discovers the cause his uneasiness.
AT last the time came when the secret burst his reserve. We were sitting together last night in the turret of his house, watching the emersion of a satellite of Jupiter. A sudden tempest clouded the sky, and disappointed our observation. We sat a while silent in the dark, and then he addressed himself to me in these words: "Imlac, I have long considered thy friendship as the greatest blessing of my life. Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity ​is dangerous and dreadful. I have found in thee all the qualities requisite for trust, benevolence, experience, and fortitude. I have long discharged an office which I must soon quit at the call of nature, and shall rejoice in the hour of imbecility and pain to devolve it upon thee."
"I thought myself honoured by this testimony, and protested that whatever could conduce to his happiness would add likewise to mine."
"Hear, Imlac, what thou wilt not without difficulty credit. I have possessed for five years the regulation of weather, and the distribution of the seasons: the sun has listened to my dictates, and passed from tropick to tropick by my direction: the clouds, at ​my call, have poured their waters, and the Nile has overflowed at my command; I have restrained the rage of the dog-star, and mitigated the fervours of the crab. The winds alone, of all the elemental powers, have hitherto refused my authority, and multitudes have perished by equinoctial tempests which I found myself unable to prohibit or restrain. I have administered this great office with exact justice, and made to the different nations of the earth an impartial dividend of rain and sunshine. What must have been the misery of half the globe, if I had limited the clouds to particular regions, or confined the sun to either side of the equator?"
# The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia/XLII

CHAP. XLI. The astronomer justifies his account of himself.
"I Suppose he discovered in me, through the obscurity of the room, some tokens of amazement and doubt, for, after a short pause, he proceeded thus:"
"Not to be easily credited will neither surprise nor offend me; for I am, probably, the first of human beings to whom this trust has been imparted. Nor do I know whether to deem this distinction a reward or punishment; since I have possessed it I have been far less ​happy than before, and nothing but the consciousness of good intention could have enabled me to support the weariness of unremitted vigilance."
"How long, Sir, said I, has this great office been in your hands?"
"About ten years ago, said he, my daily observations of the changes of the sky led me to consider, whether, if I had the power of the seasons, I cou1d confer greater plenty upon the inhabitants of the earth. This contemplation fastened on my mind, and I sat days and nights in imaginary dominion, pouring upon this country and that the showers of fertility, and seconding every fall of rain with a due proportion of sunshine. I had yet only the will to do ​good, and did not imagine that I should ever have the power.
"One day as I was looking on the fields withering with heat, I felt in my mind a sudden wish that I could send rain on the southern mountains, and raise the Nile to an inundation. In the hurry of my imagination I commanded rain to fall, and, by comparing the time of my command, with that of the inundation, I found that the clouds had listned to my lips."
"Might not some other cause, said I, produce this concurrence? the Nile does not always rise on the same day."
"Do not believe, said he with impatience, that such objections could escape ​me: I reasoned long against my own conviction, and laboured against truth with the utmost obstinacy. I sometimes suspected myself of madness, and should not have dared to impart this secret but to a man like you, capable of distinguishing the wonderful from the impossible, and the incredible from the false."
"Why, Sir, said I, do you call that incredible, which you know, or think you know, to be true."
"Because, said he, I cannot prove it by any external evidence; and I know too well the laws of demonstration to think that my conviction ought to influence another, who cannot, like me, be conscious of its force. I, therefore, shall ​not attempt to gain credit by deputation. It is sufficient that I feel this power, that I have long possessed, and every day exerted it. But the life of man is short, the infirmities of age increase upon me, and the time will soon come when the regulator of the year must mingle with the dust. The care of appointing a successor has long disturbed me; the night and the day have been spent in comparisons of all the characters which have come to my knowledge, and I have yet found none so worthy as thyself.
# The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia/XIV

CHAP. XIV. Rasselas and Imlac receive an unexpected visit.
THEY had now wrought their way to the middle, and solaced their labour with the approach of liberty, when the prince, coming down to refresh himself with air, found his sister Nekayah standing before the mouth of the cavity. He started and stood confused, afraid to tell his design, and yet hopeless to conceal it. A few moments determined him to repose on her fidelity, and secure her secrecy by a declaration without reserve.
"Do not imagine, said the princess, that I came hither as a spy: I had often observed from my window, that you and ​Imlac directed your walk every day towards the same point, but I did not suppose you had any better reason for the preference than a cooler shade, or more fragrant bank; nor followed you with any other design than to partake of your conversation. Since then not suspicion but fondness has detected you, let me not lose the advantage of my discovery. I am equally weary of confinement with yourself, and not less desirous of knowing what is done or suffered in the world. Permit me to fly with you from this tasteless tranquility, which will yet grow more loathsome when you have left me. You may deny me to accompany you, but cannot hinder me from following."
The prince, who loved Nekayah above his other sisters, had no inclination to ​refuse her request, and grieved that he had lost an opportunity of shewing his confidence by a voluntary communication. It was therefore agreed that she should leave the valley with them; and that, in the mean time, she should watch, lest any other straggler should, by chance or curiosity, follow them to the mountain.
At length their labour was at an end; they saw light beyond the prominence, and, issuing to the top of the mountain, beheld the Nile, yet a narrow current, wandering beneath them.
The prince looked round with rapture, anticipated all the pleasures of travel, and in thought was already transported beyond his father's dominions. Imlac, ​though very joyful at his escape, had less expectation of pleasure in the world, which he had before tried, and of which he had been weary.
Rasselas was so much delighted with a wider horizon, that he could not soon be persuaded to return into the valley. He informed his sister that the way was open, and that nothing now remained but to prepare for their departure.

THE PRINCE.
CHAPTER I.
HOW MANY KINDS OF PRINCIPALITIES THERE ARE, AND IN WHAT MANNER THEY ARE ACQUIRED.
All states and governments that have had, and have at present, dominion over men, have been and are either republics or principalities.
The principalities are either hereditary or they are new. Hereditary principalities are those where the government has been for a long time in the family of the prince. New principalities are either entirely new, as was Milan to Francesco Sforza, or they are like appurtenances annexed to the hereditary state of the prince who acquires them, as the kingdom of Naples is to that of Spain.
States thus acquired have been accustomed either to live under a prince, or to exist as free states; and they are acquired either by the arms of others, or by the conqueror’s own, or by fortune or valor.
