# A Child's Garden of Verses/Whole Duty of Children

V
WHOLE DUTY OF CHILDREN
A CHILD should always say what 's true
And speak when he is spoken to,
And behave mannerly at table:
At least as far as he is able.
# A Child's Garden of Verses/Windy Nights

IX
WINDY NIGHTS
WHENEVER the moon and stars are set,
Whenever the wind is high,
All night long in the dark and wet,
A man goes riding by.
Late in the night when the fires are out,
Why does he gallop and gallop about?
Whenever the trees are crying aloud,
And ships are tossed at sea,
By, on the highway, low and loud,
By at the gallop goes he.
By at the gallop he goes, and then
By he comes back at the gallop again.

# A Child's Garden of Verses/Where Go the Boats?

XIV
WHERE GO THE BOATS?
DARK brown is the river,
Golden is the sand.
It flows along for ever,
With trees on either hand.
Green leaves a-floating,
Castles of the foam,
Boats of mine a-boating—
Where will all come home?
On goes the river
And out past the mill,
Away down the valley,
Away down the hill.
Away down the river,
A hundred miles or more,
Other little children
Shall bring my boats ashore.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Babylon

​BABYLON. The land into which the people of Judah were carried captive. This coming captivity, together with the destruction of Jerusalem, was revealed by the Lord to Lehi (B. C. 600), and his proclamation of its near approach was one of the causes that led to his maltreatment by the Jews. Nephi also received manifestations of this approaching calamity and so told his brethren, but Laman and Lemuel would receive neither his words nor those of his father. Nephi also prophesied of the destruction of Babylon (II Nephi, 25:15). Babylon is mentioned several times in the Book of Mormon in quotations from the prophet Isaiah.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Assyria

​ASSYRIA. A great and powerful country in western Asia, whose capital was Nineveh. It derived its name apparently from Asshur, the son of Shem. It is mentioned by Nephi eight times, but always in quotations from Isaiah.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Assyrians

​ASSYRIANS. The people of Assyria. The name is used by Nephi in three quotations from the prophet Isaiah.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Antipas, Mount

​ANTIPAS, MOUNT. A mountain, locality uncertain, but somewhere within the borders of the Lamanites. It was chosen by Lehonti and those who refused to heed the Lamanite king's war proclamation, as their place of rendezvous. They gathered to its summit; Amalickiah, by the ​king's command, followed with an army to compel their obedience, This army was treacherously surrendered by Amalickiah to Lehonti, and the latter took command of both armies. He was soon after killed by slow poison, administered to him by Amalickiah 's command, when the last named succeeded to his position (B. C. 73).
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Antipus

​ANTIPUS. The commander of the Nephite forces in the extreme southwest, during the war with Amalickiah and Ammoron. He fought stubbornly for several years, against great odds, and was at last slain in battle with the Lamanites, in the wilderness north of the city of Judea (B. C. 65). [See Helaman.]
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Archeantus

​ARCHEANTUS. A Nephite officer of rank in the army commanded by Mormon. He was killed in a “sore battle” fought with the Lamanites (probably towards the middle of the fourth century of the Christian era) in which the latter were victorious. He is spoken of by Mormon in his second epistle to his son, in connection with a great number of “choice men” lost in the same disastrous battle.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Arpad

​BASHAN. A district of Canaan on the east of the River Jordan. It is mentioned once in the Book of Mormon (II Nephi, 12:13) in a quotation from Isaiah.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Antum

​ANTUM. A land of North America in which was situated a hill called Shim. In this hill Ammaron deposited the sacred records (A. C. 321). Mormon afterwards, by Ammaron's direction, obtained the plates of Nephi from this hiding place and continued the record thereon. On account of his fear that the Lamanites might possess themselves of the records, Mormon, at a later period, removed them all to the Hill Cumorah. The land of Jashon appears to have bordered on the land of Antum; as the city of Jashon is said to have been near the land where Ammaron deposited the records.
# A Dictionary of the Book of Mormon/Arabian

​ARABIAN. A native of Arabia, in Asia. The name is only used once in the Book of Mormon, (II Nephi, 23:20) in a quotation from Isaiah.

# A Chinese Biographical Dictionary/Fu Hung

​587 Fu Hung 苻洪 (T. 廣世). A.D. 284-350. A native of Shensi, and father of Fu Chien. He received his name Hung, "Deluge," in consequence of a persistent fall of rain which gave rise to a popular saying: "If the rain does not stop, the Deluge will come," alluding to a great inundation which happened under the reign of the Emperor Yao. In the troublous times of his youth, he spent large sums of money in collecting men and forming a kind of Defence Corps; and when Liu Yao mounted the throne, he at once attached himself to the new monarch. Upon the fall of the latter, he joined Shih Chi-lung; and at his death Fu Hung submitted to the House of Chin. By the Emperor Mu Ti he was appointed generalissimo of the north and Viceroy of modern Chihli. He then changed his surname, which had been 蒲 P'u, and gave himself the titles "Great General, Great Khan, and Prince of the Three Ch'in." He claimed Imperial rank, and received an unauthorised canonisation as 惠武帝.

# A Chinese Biographical Dictionary/Fu Hsi

He is said to have been miraculously conceived by his mother, who after a gestation of twelve years gave birth to him at Ch'êng-chi in Shensi. He taught his people to hunt, to fish, and to keep flocks. He showed them how to split the wood of the 桐 t'ung tree, and then how to twist silk threads and stretch them across so as to form rude musical instruments. From the markings on the back of a tortoise he is said to have constructed the Eight Diagrams, or series of lines from which was developed a whole system of philosophy, embodied later on in the mysterious work known as the Canon of Changes. He also invented some kind of calendar, placed the marriage contract upon ​a proper basis, and is even said to have taught mankind to cook their food.

It was while thus waiting that he caught the chill of which he died. Canonised as 剛.
# A Chinese Biographical Dictionary/Fu Chien (苻堅)

​579 Fu Chien 苻堅 (T. 永固). A.D. 337-384. Son of Fu Hsiung (see Fu Chien), and cousin to the tyrant Fu Shêng whom he assassinated in 357, placing himself upon the throne in his stead. A wise and earnest man, he set himself to purify the administration and consolidate his power, paying special honour to Confucianism and prohibiting Taoism and divination. The death of 慕容恪 Mu-jung K'o enabled his general Wang Mêng to annex Yen in 370 (see Mu-jung Wei). He transferred 40,000 Turkic families to the neighbourhood of his capital, subdued ​several tribes, and conquered parts of Kansuh, Shensi, Ssŭch'uan and Yünnan. In 377 he received tribute from northern Korea and from the tribes in the south-west of China. In 378 he attacked the Imperial House and overran southern Honan; but on advancing close to Nanking, he was driven back to the north of the Huai river in 379. In 381 he was converted to Buddhism, and in 382 dispatched Lü Kuang on an expedition into what is now Chinese Turkestan, no less than sixty-two tribes having acknowledged his rule. In 384, contrary to the advice of his general 苻融 Fu Jung, but at the instance of Yao Ch'ang and others, he again led a vast army into the Imperial territory. Fu Jung had pointed out that the Yang-tsze with its swift current would be a serious obstacle, but to this he scornfully replied that his troops would dam it up by merely throwing their whips into the stream. He was however disastrously routed at the 肥 Fei river by the Imperial forces under 謝石 Hsieh Shih and 謝玄 Hsieh Hsüan, and Fu Jung was slain. In the retreat which followed, his beaten soldiery were harassed by perpetual alarms, fancying the whistling of the wind and the screaming of cranes overhead to be the shouts of their victorious pursuers. The State which had been so energetically built up, at once fell to pieces. Yao Ch'ang and other leaders threw off their allegiance, and soon only southern Shansi remained. Besieged in Ch'ang-an by the forces of Western Yen, Fu Chien forced his way out to a stronghold in Fêng-hsiang Fu; and there, after a desperate assault, he was taken prisoner by Yao Ch'ang and strangled. Received the unauthorised canonisation of 世祖宣昭皇帝.
# A Chinese Biographical Dictionary/Fu Ch'ien

​580 Fu Ch'ien 服虔 (T. 子真). 2nd cent. A.D. A native of 滎陽 Jung-yang in Honan, who distinguished himself by his scholarship and wrote a famous commentary on the Tao Chuan. He had previously taken service as cook in the house of Ts'ui Lieh ​who was then lecturing on the subject, but found that he had nothing to learn. After a while Ts'ui Ldeh suspected who he was; and one morning, before Fu Ch'ien was awake, shouted to him by his right name. Fu Ch'ien, taken thus unawares, promptly answered; after which the two became fast friends. In 189 he was Governor of Kiukiang, but lost his post in the political troubles which ensued and died shortly afterwards, leaving behind him a collection of miscellaneous writings.
# A Chinese Biographical Dictionary/Fu Chien (苻健)

​578 Fu Chien (苻健) (T. 建業). A.D. 316-355. Third son of Fu Hung, whom he succeeded in 350. Just before his birth his mother dreamt of a great bear, and as he grew up he showed signs of a warlike temperament and a love for military exercises. On his accession he discarded the title of Prince of Ch'in, and acknowledged the suzerainty of the House of Chin. He drove 杜洪 Tu Hung from Ch'ang-an, and took it for his capital. A year later he assumed the title of Great Khan and King of the Great Ch'in dynasty, and after defeating an Imperialist army, he proclaimed himself Emperor. He did away with the burdensome regulations of Chao and tried to alleviate the sufferings of the people. He encouraged learning and held scholars in high esteem. In 354 Huan Wên defeated his army at Lan-t'ien, to the south- east of Ch'ang-an, and encamped for a while on the 灞 Pa river, but was ultimately compelled to make a disastrous retreat. He died of grief for the loss of his brother 苻雄 Fu Hsiung (T. 元才), who had filled the posts of Chancellor and of General in his army. "If God," he cried, "wished me to tranquillise the empire, why did He carry off Yüan-ts'ai so soon?" He received unauthorised canonisation as 高祖明皇.
# A Chinese Biographical Dictionary/Fu Ch'ung

​582 Fu Ch'ung 苻崇. Died A.D. 395. The last of the line of Fu Chien, killed by Ch'i-fu Ch'ien-kuei in A.D. 395 at 湟中 Huang-chung in Kansuh.
# A Chinese Biographical Dictionary/Fu Chieh-tzŭ

​577 Fu Chieh-tzŭ 傅介子. 1st cent. B.C. A famous commander under the Emperor Chao Ti of the Han dynasty. Although fond of study, at fourteen years of age he threw his writing-tablets aside, saying with a sigh, "'Tis in foreign lands that a hero must seek renown; how can I let my life pass away as an old bookworm?" At that time the rulers of the 龜兹 Kuei-tzŭ and 樓蘭 Lou-lan countries had killed some Chinese envoys; and with a view to punishing them, Fu volunteered to proceed as envoy to Ferghana or Khokand. As a result of his mission he slew, some say by stratagem, the ruler of Lou-lan; and when he ​was asked for some proof of his statements, he produced the murdered monarch's head.
# A Handful of Pleasant Delights/The scoffe of a Ladie, as pretie as may be

Possibly by Peter Picks. The poem is followed by an answer by Picks: "An answer as pretie to the scof of his Lady".
¶The scoffe of a Ladie, as pretie as may be,
to a yong man that went a wooing:
He went stil about her, and yet he went without her,
because he was so long a dooing.
Ttend thee, go play thee,
Sweet loue I am busie:
my silk and twist is not yet spun:
My Ladie will blame me,
If that she send for me,
and find my worke to be vndun:
How then?
How shall I be set me?
To say loue did let me?
Fie no, it will not fit me,
It were no scuse for me.
[It were no scuse for me.]
¶If loue were attained,
My ioies were vnfained,
my seame and silke wil take no hold:
Oft haue I beene warned,
By others proofe learned:
hote wanton loue soone waxeth cold,
Go now: ​I say go pack thee,
Or my needle shal prick thee:
Go seeke out Dame Idle:
More fit for thy bridle,
More fit for thy bridle.
¶Wel worthie of blaming,
For thy long detaining,
all vaine it is that thou hast done:
Best now to be wandring,
Go vaunt of thy winning,
and tell thy Dame what thou hast won:
Say this:
Then say as I bade thee:
That the little dogge Fancie,
Lies chaste without moouing,
And needeth no threatning,
For feare of wel beating.
For feare of wel beating.
¶The boy is gone lurking,
Good Ladies be working,
dispatch a while that we had done,
The tide will not tarrie,
All times it doth varie,
The day doth passe, I see the Sun,
[? One line omitted by the Printer.] The frost bites faire flowers,
Lets worke at due howres,
Haste, haste, and be merie,
Till our needles be werie.
Till our needles be werie,
¶Now Ladies be merie,
Because you are werie:
leaue worke I say, and get you home,
Your businesse is slacking,
Your louer is packing:
your answer hath cut off his comb.
How then? ​The fault was in him sir,
He wooed it so trim sir,
Alas poor seelie fellow,
Make much of thy pillow.
Make much of thy pillow.
Finis.

# A Harbinger

Originally appeared in St. Louis Magazine, 1 November 1891
Bruno did very nice work in black and white; sometimes in green and yellow and red. But he never did anything quite so clever as during that summer he spent in the hills.
The spring-time freshness had stayed, some way. And then there was the gentle Diantha, with hair the color of ripe wheat, who posed for him when he wanted. She was as beautiful as a flower, crisp with morning dew. Her violet eyes were baby-eyes – when he first came. When he went away he kissed her, and she turned red and white and trembled. As quick as thought the baby look went out of her eyes and another flashed into them.
Bruno sighed a good deal over his work that winter. The women he painted were all like mountain-flowers. The big city seemed too desolate for endurance often. He tried not to think of sweet-eyed Diantha. But there was nothing to keep him from remembering the hills; the whirr of the summer breeze through delicate-leafed maples; the bird-notes that used to break clear and sharp into the stillness when he and Diantha were together on the wooded hillside.
So when summer came again, Bruno gathered his bags, his brushes and colors and things. He whistled soft low tunes as he did so. He sang even, when he was not lost in wondering if the sunlight would fall just as it did last June, aslant the green slopes; and if – and if Diantha would quiver red and white again when he called her his sweet own Diantha, as he meant to.
Bruno had made his way through a tangle of underbrush; but before he came quite to the wood’s edge, he halted: for there about the little church that gleamed white in the sun, people were gathered – old and young. He thought Diantha might be among them, and strained his eyes to see if she were. But she was not. He did see her though – when the doors of the rustic temple swung open – like a white-robed lily now.
There was a man beside her – it mattered not who; enough that it was one who had gathered this wild flower for his own, while Bruno was dreaming. Foolish Bruno! to have been only love’s harbinger after all! He turned away. With hurried strides he descended the hill again, to wait by the big water-tank for a train to come along.
This work was published before January 1, 1929, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago.
