# Love Me, Love My Dog (Crawford)

He had a falcon on his wrist,  A hound beside his knee, A jewelled rapier at his thigh;  Quoth he: "Which may she be? My chieftain cried: 'Bear forth, my page,  This ring to Lady Clare; Thou'lt know her by her sunny eyes  And golden lengths of hair.' But here are lovely damsels three,  In glittering coif and veil, And all have sunny locks and eyes,—  To which unfold the tale?"
Out spake the first: "O pretty page,  Thou hast a wealthy lord; I love to see the jewels rare  Which deck thy slender sword!" She smiled, she waved her yellow locks,  Rich damask glowed her cheek; He bent his supple knee and thought:  "Not this the maid I seek."
The second had a cheek of rose,  A throat as white as milk, A jewelled tire upon her brow,  A robe and veil of silk. "O pretty page, hold back the hound;  Uncouth is he and bold; His rough caress will tear my veil,  My fringe of glittering gold!" She frowned, she pouted ruby lips—  The page he did not speak; He bent his curly head and thought:  "Not this the maid I seek."
The third, with cobweb locks of light  And cheeks like summer dawn, Dropped on her knee beside the hound  Upon the shaven lawn. She kissed his sinewy throat, she stroked  His bristly rings of hair; "Ho!" thought the page, "she loves his hound,  So this is Lady Clare!"

# Love Is like a Violin

* information about this edition.
* sister projects: Wikidata item.
Song from the musical The Laughing Husband.
Love is like a Violin, With it's tones grave or gay, Caprices the artist may play, The light love that last for a day, There are songs that lie within,
Like the voice of the sea, Of the one love eternal, Enduring for aye! And that voice calls to me!
There's the love that is folly's gay dance, There's the charm of a moonlight romance, There's the lure of the danger that lies, In the passion that lies in a fool's Paradise,
All the songs for an hour we may prize, But there's none like the one.
And that voice call to me.

# Letters of John Huss Written During His Exile and Imprisonment/Letter 37, Profession of Faith

LETTER XXXVII.
(NOT ADDRESSED TO ANY BODY.)
My last and firm determination is, that I refuse to confess as erroneous the articles which have been truly extracted from my works, and that I refuse to abjure those which have been attributed to me by false witnesses; for to abjure implies that one has held erroneous opinions—it is, in fact, to reject them, and adopt others of a contrary tendency. God knows that I have never taught these errors, imputed to me by those who have retrenched from my works many truths and falsified them. Were I aware that, in the articles I confess to, there was one contrary to the truth, I would correct it, and most heartily strike it out. Nay, I would teach and preach the contrary. But, although some parts may be considered scandalous and erroneous by those who are displeased with such doctrines, yet I do not believe that there is a single passage which is opposed to the law of Christ or to the words of the holy apostles.
​I detest and condemn all false interpretation imputed to my articles against my intention, submitting myself to the correction of our Divine Master, and confiding in his infinite mercy, that he himself may deign to wash me clean from such sins as I am ignorant of. I return thanks to all the Bohemian Barons, and especially to King Wenceslaus, and to the Queen, my gracious Sovereign, that they have loved me, have acted piously towards me, and have worked ardently to procure my deliverance; I render thanks also to the Emperor Sigismund, for his good intentions in my favour; I render thanks to all those Nobles of Bohemia and Poland who have shewn themselves firm in defending the truth, and in endeavouring to break my chains; I desire the salvation of all, here below in grace, and afterwards in a glorious eternity.
May the God of all goodness bring you back into Bohemia with perfect health of body and soul, that, serving in this world, Christ, our Sovereign, you may attain eternal life!
You will salute for me all my friends, to whom I cannot write; if I saluted by name some, and not others, I should appear to except some persons; and those to whom I did not write would think I did not keep them in remembrance, or did not love them as I ought to do.
​Written in prison, and in chains, the sixth day before the festival of St John the Baptist.
John Huss, in hope, servant of Christ.

LETTER XXXV.
TO A FRIEND.
[[[Author:Jan Hus|Huss]] alludes to the hymn noted down on parchment, which he composed in Bohemian for Schopeck.]
You will forward the letter on parchment to the Seignior Henry Schopeck; I have kept it in my prison in remembrance of him; and I composed this hymn during my leisure hours.
Noble Henry, my faithful friend, remember the words you have heard from me, in order that you may obtain eternal glory. Remember what I have said unto you:—I am confident God will grant me his Spirit, that I may be enabled to support some temptations, for his name’s sake.

# Letters of John Huss Written During His Exile and Imprisonment/Letter 41, To John Cardinal

LETTER XLI.
TO JOHN CARDINAL.
May the Almighty God, sovereignly good and wise, ​deign to bestow on my Father eternal life, for the sake of our Lord Jesus Christ!
Reverend Father, I am most grateful for your benevolent and paternal interest. I dare not submit myself to the Council in the limits that you trace out to me; whether because I should be obliged to condemn many truths that they term fraudulent; or because I should be obliged to perjure myself by abjuring and confessing that I had held errors, by which I have greatly scandalized the people of God, who have heard me say the contrary in my preaching.
If, then, in the Book of the Maccabees, it is written of Eleazar, a man of the ancient law, that he refused to lie, by confessing that he had eaten meats prohibited by the ancient law, for fear of acting thus against God, and leaving a bad example to posterity; how should I, a priest of the new law, although unworthy, through the terror of pain of a short duration, consent gravely to transgress the law of God, by keeping back from the truth, by perjuring myself, and, lastly, by offending my neighbour?
Truly, it is more advantageous to die than to fall into the hands of God by flying from a momentary evil, and perhaps afterwards to fall into the fire, and into eternal ​opprobrium. Therefore, since I have appealed to Jesus Christ, to the Judge sovereignly just and powerful, confiding to him my cause, I am resolved to adhere to his decision, and to his holy and sacred sentence, knowing that he will judge all men, not according to false witnesses, or to the errors of councils, but according to the truth, and their own merits.
* ↑ Hist. et Monum. Johann. Huss, Epist. xxxix.
* ↑ Luther erroneously believed that the person whom John Huss only designates under the name of Father, for fear of compromising him, was the Cardinal of Osti. J. Lenfant has clearly demonstrated that the person, to whom John Huss gives this name, was a monk called John Cardinal. (See the History of the Council of Constance, book iii.) The following is the form of revocation he invited John Huss to sign, and which Luther has inserted in the collection of John Huss’s letters, under the number xxxviii. “I, the undersigned, besides the protest which I have already made, and do here repeat, again protest, that although many things which I have never thought of have been imputed to me; nevertheless, for all the things which I am accused of, whether extracted from my works, or obtained from the deposition of witnesses, I humbly submit myself to the mercy, judgment, explanation, and correction of the Holy Council General, in order to abjure, revoke, and retract them. I will submit to penance, and will do all that the Holy Council shall decide in its mercy for my salvation, throwing myself on its indulgence, and recommending myself to it with entire discretion.”

LETTER XXXIX.
TO THE LORD HAULIKON.
[Huss invites him not to oppose administering the blood of Jesus Christ to laymen under the form of wine.]
As a preacher of the word of Christ, my very dear brother, do not oppose the administering of the Cup, it being a Sacrament instituted by Jesus Christ and his apostles. No text of Scripture is opposed to it, but only custom; and I think that this was established only through negligence and forgetfulness. But it is not custom which we should follow, but the example of Christ. The Council, alleging custom as a motive, has declared the Communion of the Cup by layman to be an error, and has ordained, that whosoever should practise it, shall ​be punished as a heretic, if he did not amend this practice. Already, then, has the malice of men condemned as an error an institution of Christ. I conjure you, by the love of God, not to attack Master Jacobel, that there may not be any division amongst the faithful, and that Satan may not find a new subject for joy. Prepare yourself as quickly as possible, my dear brother, to suffer for the Communion of the Cup. Lay aside all fears which is unworthy of you, and remain firm in the truth of Christ, exhorting the other brethren by the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. I think that they will give you, in support of the Communion of the Cup, what I have written at Constance. Salute the faithful in Christ.
Written in irons, on the eve of the day of the Ten Thousand.
# Letters of John Huss Written During His Exile and Imprisonment/Letter 4, John, Curé of Janowitz, to the faithful believers of Prague

LETTER IV.
JOHN, CURÉ OF JANOWITZ, TO THE FAITHFUL BELIEVERS OF PRAGUE.
[Fragments of a letter attributed to John, Curé of Janowitz, and inserted in the latin collection of John Huss's letters.]
Very dear Friends, I desire you to be informed that an auditor of the Sacred Apostolical Palace came to our lodging with the Bishop and the Ecclesiastical Judge of Constance. They conversed with the master; and there has been a long debate between the Pope and the Cardinals on the subject of his interdiction. They have decided a messenger should go from them to the master, and inform him that the Pope, of his full power, suspends the interdiction and sentence excommunicating him, and prays him, in order to prevent scandal and public rumour, not to present himself in places where the Pope and the Cardinals solemnly officiate; granting him otherwise full liberty to visit the town, the churches, and all other places he pleases. We have understood that they all fear the next sermon which Master John intends delivering to the clergy; and, in fact, some one yesterday—we know not whether a friend or an enemy—spread the report that ​John Huss will preach to the clergy next Sunday in the Cathedral of Constance, and will give a ducat to all who are present. We are at present entirely at liberty in the town. The Master officiates every day, and acts everywhere freely. He does not keep at a distance from the king’s council, that, in the cause of truth, which is also his own, nothing may be undertaken against him before the arrival of the King of Hungary. The Council has not yet taken the affair into consideration; up to this time there has not arrived any ambassador from the king or prince, neither from Gregory nor Benedict; and we do not think the Council will open its sittings before several weeks. Let all those who are personally cited be careful of themselves, and know well that their names are publicly affixed to the church-doors. Michael Causis chants his high deeds. The Seigniors John Lepka and Wenceslaus of Lesma are the intrepid and zealous defenders of the truth.
[Written at Constance on the Sunday before Saint Martin’s day.]
* ↑ This letter is important, as it shews in what manner Huss was treated during the early part of his stay at Constance.
* ↑ With John Huss.
* ↑ The King of Hungary, to whom John of Janowitz here alludes, is Sigismund, the second son of Charles IV., and brother of Wenceslaus, King of Bohemia. This prince succeeded Robert to the imperial throne; and the distinguished part he took in the Council of Constance is well known. At that period he had not yet been crowned, and was usually only designated by the titles of King of Hungary, and King of the Romans, although he was, in fact, Emperor. To avoid all confusion, we have already given him his imperial title, and shall continue doing so throughout.

LETTER XLII.
John Cardinal to John Huss.
In the first place, my well-beloved brother, do not let yourself be troubled by the fear of condemning truths; for it is not you who will condemn these, but those who are your superiors and ours. Meditate on these words, “Rely not on your own prudence.” There are many wise and conscientious men in the Council: “My son, listen to thy mother’s law.” This is my point.
​I come to the second, concerning the perjury of the matter. This perjury, even if it be one, will not fall on you, but on those who exact it. Heresy ceases where obstinacy ends. Augustin, Origen, the Master of the Sentences, and many others, have erred, and returned with joy from their errors; I also often thought that I perfectly understood certain things, in which I was mistaken. When better informed, I returned with eagerness to a different opinion.
I write briefly; for I write to an intelligent man. Do not stray from the truth, but arrive at it; you will not perjure yourself but will become better. Do not offend, but edify. The Jew Eleazar obtained a great glory, but Judas with his seven sons, and the eight martyrs, obtained much greater. Paul did not hesitate to be let down in a basket in order to propagate a better law. May Jesus Christ, the Judge of your appeal, accord you apostles like these. Some combats for the faith of Jesus Christ are still due from you.
* ↑ Hist. et Monum. Johann. Huss, Epist. xl.
* ↑ Luther falls again into the same error; see note 2 of page 159.
* ↑ This passage is exceedingly obscure. It may be seen that it relates to what John Huss had said that he would appeal to Jesus Christ. In law are called apostles certain letters which the appellant ought to obtain from the judges to whom he has appealed; because, if they are not obtained after a certain delay, he is supposed to have renounced his appeal, and is obliged to submit to his first judgment.—Lenfant, History of the Council of Constance.

PREFACE.
Comparatively little has been written about the life of Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin. The two chief authorities upon the subject are William Godwin and Mr. C. Kegan Paul. In writing the following Biography I have relied chiefly upon the Memoir written by the former, and the Life of Godwin and Prefatory Memoir to the Letters to Imlay of the latter. I have endeavoured to supplement the facts recorded in these books by a careful analysis of Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin's writings and study of the period in which she lived.
I must here express my thanks to Dr. Richard Garnett, and to Mr. C. Kegan Paul, for the kind assistance they have given me in my work. To the first-named of these gentlemen I am indebted for the loan of a manuscript containing some particulars of Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin's last illness which have never yet appeared in print, and to the latter for the gift, as well as the loan, of several important books.

Cœli enarrant.
Also by Godescalcus. Written for the Festival of the Division of the Apostles (July 16.)
1. The Heavens declare the glory of the Son of God, the Incarnate Word, made Heavens from earth.
2. For this glory befitteth that Lord alone
3. Whose Name is the Angel of the Great Counsel.
4. This Counsel, the assistance of fallen man, is ancient, and profound, and true, made known to the Saints alone,
5. When this Angel, made Man of a woman, made an immortal out of a mortal; out of men, angels; out of earth, heaven.
6. This is the Lord God of Hosts, Whose angels sent into the earth are the Apostles.
7. To whom He exhibited Himself alive after His Resurrection by many arguments, announcing peace as the victor of death.
​8. Peace be unto you, saith He; I am He; fear not; preach the word of Christ to every creature, before kings and princes.
9. As the Father hath sent Me, even so send I you into the world; be ye therefore prudent as serpents, be ye harmless as doves.
10. Hence Peter, Prince of Apostles, visited Rome; Paul, Greece, preaching grace everywhere: hence these twelve chiefs in the four quarters of the world, preached as Evangelists the Threefold and the One.
11. Andrew, either James, Philip, Bartholomew, Simon, Thaddeus, John, Thomas, and Matthew, twelve Judges, not divided from unity, but for unity, collected into one those that were divided through the earth:
12. Their sound is gone out into all lands,
13. And their words into the ends of the world.
14. How beautiful are the feet of them that proclaim good tidings—that preach peace;
15. That speak thus to them that are redeemed by the Blood of Christ: Sion, thy God shall reign;
​16. Who made the worlds by the Word; Which Word was for us, in the end of the world, made Flesh:
17. This Word Which we preach, Christ crucified, Who liveth and reigneth, God in heaven.
18. These are the Heavens which, O Christ, Thou inhabitest; in whose words Thou thunderest; in whose deeds Thou lightenest; in whose grace Thou sendest Thy dew:
19. To these Thou hast said: Drop down, O ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain the Just One; let the earth be opened and bud.
20. Raise up a Righteous Branch, Thou Who causest our earth to bring forth, sowing it with the seed of Apostolic words: through whose words grant, O Lord, that we, holding the Word of the Father, may bring forth fruit to Thee, O Lord, in patience.
21. These are the Heavens which Thou, Angel of the great Counsel, inhabitest, whom Thou callest not servants, but friends; to whom Thou tellest all things that Thou hast heard from the Father.
​22. By whose Division mayest Thou preserve Thy flock, collected and undivided, and in the bond of peace; that in Thee we may be one, as with the Father Thou art One.
23. Have mercy on us, Thou that dwellest in the heavens.
# Mediaeval Hymns and Sequences/Ecce tempus est vernale

Ecce tempus est vernale.
An Easter sequence, published by Du Méril from a manuscript of the thirteenth century. The poet borrows one line from the Pange Lingua of Fortunatus, and seems, in another place, to copy Adam of S. Victor. The metre is very rare.
Spring returns with jubilation, When the Tree of our salvation, Chiefest of the forest nation, Wrought the work of reparation, Fallen man redeeming. Through Judæa's rage infernal From the nut breaks forth the kernel: Hangs upon the Cross the Eternal: Trembles earth: the sun supernal Hides in shades his beaming. Accusation, condemnation, Pillar, thongs, and flagellation, Gall and bitter coronation, This He bore, and reprobation, Railing and blaspheming. ​Jewish people, crucify Him! Torture, scourge, and mock, and try Him! In that precious Blood bedye Him: That our race is ransomed by Him Oh, how little deeming! Theme of Israelite rejection, Now, with joyful recollection, Christians! hail the Resurrection; With good deeds and hearts' affection To the Victor teeming!
* ↑ In Du Méril's copy, three lines precede this. But, as they disturb the metre where they stand, and are presently repeated in other words, I take them to be merely a various reading of the third, fourth, and fifth in the finished poem.
* ↑ Thus Adam of S. Victor compares our Lord's Humanity to the shell; His Divinity to the kernel. Christ the nut; the skin surrounding Passion's bitterness expounding, And the shell His human frame. But in Flesh lay hid the Eternal And His Sweetness: and the kernel Rightly signifies the same.
# Mediaeval Hymns and Sequences/Dies est laetitiae

Dies est lætitiæ.
A German carol;—at least it does not seem to have been used in the offices of the Church. It is perhaps scarcely worth mentioning that Luther believed it inspired.
Royal Day that chasest gloom! Day by gladness speeded! Thou beheld'st from Mary's womb How the King proceeded; Whom, True man, with praise our Choir Hails, and love, and heart's desire, Joy and admiration; Who, True God, enthroned in light, Passeth wonder, passeth sight, Passeth cogitation.
On the Virgin as He hung, God, the world's Creator, Like a rose from lily sprung,— Stood astounded nature: ​That a Maiden's arms enfold Him That made the world of old, Him That ever liveth: That a Maiden's spotless breast To the King Eternal rest, Warmth and nurture giveth!
As the sunbeam through the glass Passeth but not staineth, Thus the Virgin, as she was, Virgin still remaineth: Blessed Mother, in whose womb Lay the Light that exiles gloom, God, the Lord of Ages; Blessed Maid! from whom the Lord, Her own Infant, God adored, Hunger's pangs assuages.
