# Fugitive Poetry. 1600–1878/I am Dying

I am Dying.
Raise my pillow, husband dearest; Taint and fainter comes my breath, And these shadows stealing slowly, Must, I know, be those of death.
Sit down close beside me, darling; Let me clasp your warm, strong hand— Yours, that ever has sustained me, To the borders of this land.
For your God and mine—our Father— Thence shall ever lead me on, Where, upon a throne eternal, Sits his loved and only Son.
I've had visions, and been dreaming O'er the past of joy and pain; Year by year I've wandered backward, Till I was a child again—
Dreamed of girlhood, and the moment When I stood your wife and bride— How my heart thrilled with love's triumph In that hour of woman's pride!
Dreamed of thee—and all the earth-cords Firmly twined about my heart— Oh, the bitter burning anguish When I knew that we must part!
It has passed, and God has promised All thy footsteps to attend; He, that's more than friend or brother, He'll be with you to the end.
There's no shadow o'er the portals Leading to my heavenly home; Christ hath promised life immortal And 'tis He that bids me come,
When life's trials wait around thee, And its chilling billows swell, Thou'lt thank heaven that I am spared them, Thou'lt then feel that "all is well."
Bring our boys unto my bedside; My last blessing let them keep— But they're sleeping; do not wake them— They'll learn soon enough to weep.
Tell them often of their mother, Kiss them for me when they wake; Lead them gently in the pathway; Love them doubly for my sake.
Clasp my hand still closer, darling, This, the last night of my life; For to-morrow I shall never Answer when you call me "wife."
Fare thee well, my noble husband; Faint not 'neath this chastening rod; Throw your strong arm round our children; Keep them close to thee—and God.
# Fugitive Poetry. 1600–1878/Evermore

Evermore.
Beheld a golden portal in the visions of my slumber, And through it streamed the radiance of a never-setting day; While angels tall and beautiful, and countless without number, Were giving gladsome greeting to all who came that way. And the gates, for ever swinging, made no grating, no harsh ringing, Melodious as the singing of one that we adore; And I heard a chorus swelling, grand beyond a mortal's telling, And the burden of that chorus was Hope's glad word—Evermore!
And as I gazed and listened, came a slave all worn and weary, His fetter-links blood-crusted, his dark brow clammy damp, His sunken eyes gleamed widely, telling tales of horror dreary, Of toilsome stragglings through the night amid the fever swamps. Ere the eye had time for winking, ere the mind had time for thinking, A bright angel raised the sinking wretch, and off his fetters tore Then I heard the chorus swelling, grand beyond a mortal's telling, "Pass, brother, through our portal, thou'rt a freeman evermore!"
And as I gazed and listened, came a mother wildly weeping— "I have lost my hopes for ever—one by one they went away; My children and their father the cold grave hath in its keeping, Life is one long lamentation, I know nor night nor day!" Then the angel softly speaking,—"Stay, sister, stay thy shrieking. Thou shalt find those thou art seeking beyond that golden door!" Then I heard the chorus swelling, grand beyond a mortal's telling, "Thy children and their father shall be with thee evermore!"
And as I gazed and listened, came one whom desolation Had driven, like a helmless bark, from infancy's bright land; Who ne'er had met a kindly look—poor outcast of creation— Who never heard a kindly word, nor grasped a kindly hand. "Enter in, no longer fear thee: myriad friends are there to cheer thee— Friends always to be near thee; there no sorrow sad and sore!" Then I heard the chorus swelling, grand beyond a mortal's telling, "Enter, brother; thine are friendship, love, and gladness evermore!"
And as I gazed and listened, came a cold, blue-footed maiden, With cheeks of ashen whiteness, eyes filled with lurid light; Her body bent with sickness, her lone heart heavy laden; Her home had been the roofless street, her day had been the night. First wept the angel sadly, then smiled the angel gladly, And caught the maiden madly rushing from the golden door; Then I heard the chorus swelling, grand beyond a mortal's telling, "Enter, sister, thou art pure, and thou art sinless evermore!"
I saw the toiler enter to rest for aye from labour; The weary-hearted exile there found his native land; The beggar there could greet the King as an equal and a neighbour; The crown had left the kingly brow, the staff the beggar's hand. And the gate for ever swinging, made no grating, no harsh ringing, Melodious as the singing of one that we adore; And the chorus still was swelling, grand beyond a mortal's telling, While the vision faded from me with the glad word—"Evermore!"
# Fugitive Poetry. 1600–1878/Every Bullet has its Billet

Every Bullet Has Its Billet.
I'm a tough true-hearted sailor, Careless and all that, d'ye see, Never at the times a railer— What is time or tide to me? All must die when fate shall will it, Providence ordains it so: Every bullet has its billet,— Man the boat, boys—Yeo, heave yeo!
"Life's at best a sea of trouble, He who fears it is a dunce; Death to me's an empty bubble, I can never die but once.
Blood, if duty bids, I'll spill it; Yet I have a tear for woe Every bullet has its billet,—Man the boat, boys—Yeo, heave yeo!
Shrouded in a hammock, glory Celebrates the falling brave; Oh, how many, famed in story, Sleep below in ocean's cave! Bring the can, boys—let us fill it; Shall we shun the fight? Oh, no! Every bullet has its billet,—Man the boat, boys—Yeo, heave yeo!
# Fugitive Poetry. 1600–1878/Humorous

Humorous.
By cheerful wit and graphic tale, refreshening the harassed spirit.
Tupper.
Diversions are the most properly applied to ease and relieve those who are oppressed, by being too much employed. Those that are idle have no need of them, and yet they, above all others, give themselves up to them. To unbend our thoughts, when they are too much stretched by our cares, is not more natural than it is necessary; but to turn our whole life into a holiday, is not only ridiculous, but destroyeth pleasure instead of promoting it.—Saville.
# Fugitive Poetry. 1600–1878/From the Arabic

From the Arabic.
The morn that ushered thee to life, my child, Saw thee in tears, whilst all around thee smiled! When summoned hence to thy eternal sleep, Oh! mayst thou smile, whilst all around thee weep.
# Fugitive Poetry. 1600–1878/His All!

His All!
A bailiff once, a sentimental man, To seize a cobbler went, and thus began: "Depart, I must have all." "If that's the case, thou stupid fool," The cobbler said, and handing him a tool, "Depart, thou hast my awl."
# Fugitive Poetry. 1600–1878/Hagar and Ishmael

Hagar and Ishmael.
The promised seed is born,—no Ishmael now Will share a father's smiles with Sarah's child; And Hagar with her son must wander far Across the dreary solitary wild. Ere she departs one proud disdainful glance She throws on all around; yet in her eye The tear-drop gathers, as she sees her child Up to his father's face gaze wistfully. No angry, galling word to him she speaks, But bends her o'er the silent wond'ring boy, While the big tears that trickle down her cheeks Tell of a mother's inward agony.
# Fugitive Poetry. 1600–1878/Fortune

Fortune.
Fortune, men say, doth give too much to many: But yet she never gave enough to any.
# Fugitive Poetry. 1600–1878/From the French

From the French.
Careless and thoughtless all my life, Stranger to every source of strife, And deeming each grave sage a fool, The law of Nature was my rule, By which I learnt to duly measure My portion of desire and pleasure. 'Tis strange that here I lie, you see, For Death must have indulged a whim; At any time to have thought of me, Who never once did think of him.
# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Puchta, Georg Friedrich

See also Georg Friedrich Puchta on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​PUCHTA, GEORG FRIEDRICH (1798–1846), German jurist, born at Kadolzburg in Bavaria on the 31st of August 1798, came of an old Bohemian Protestant family which had immigrated into Germany to avoid religious persecution. His father, Wolfgang Heinrich Puchta (1769–1845), a legal writer and district judge, imbued his son with legal conceptions and principles. From 1811 to 1816 young Puchta attended the gymnasium at Nuremberg, where he acquired a taste for Hegelianism. In 1816 he went to the university of Erlangen, where, in addition to being initiated by his father into legal practice, he fell under the influence of the writings of Savigny and Niebuhr. Taking his doctor’s degree at Erlangen, he established himself here in 1820 as privatdozent, and in 1823 was made professor extraordinary of law. In 1828 he was appointed ordinary professor of Roman law at Munich. In 1835 he was appointed to the chair of Roman and ecclesiastical law at Marburg, but he left this for Leipzig in 1837, and in 1842 he succeeded Savigny at Berlin. In 1845 Puchta was made a member of the council of state (Staatsrat) and of the legislative commission (Gesetzgebungskommission). He died at Berlin on the 8th of January 1846. His chief merit as a jurist lay in breaking with past unscientific methods in the teaching of Roman law and in making its spirit intelligible to students. Among his writings must be especially mentioned Lehrbuch der Pandekten (Leipzig, 1838, and many later editions), in which he elucidated the dogmatic essence of Roman law in a manner never before attempted; and the Kursus der Institutionen (Leipzig, 1841–1847, and later editions), which gives a clear picture of the organic development of law among the Romans. Among his other writings are Das Gewohnheitsrecht (Erlangen, 1828–1837); and Einleitung in das Recht der Kirche (Leipzig, 1840).
Puchta’s Kleine zivilistische Schriften (posthumously published in 1851 by Professor A. A. Friedrich Rudorff), is a collection of thirty eight masterly essays on various branches of Roman law, and the preface contains a sympathetic biographical sketch of the jurist. See also Zeher, Über die von Puchta der Darstellung des römischen Rechts zu Grunde gelegten rechtsphilosophischen Ansichten (1853).
# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Pudding

See also Pudding on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​PUDDING, a term, now of rather wide application, for a dish consisting of boiled flour enclosing or containing meat, vegetables or fruit, or of batter, rice, sago or other farinaceous foods boiled or baked with milk and eggs. Properly a pudding should be one boiled in a cloth or bag. There are countless varieties, of which the most familiar are the Christmas plum-pudding, the Yorkshire pudding and the suet pudding. The word was originally and is still so used in Scotland for the entrails of the pig or other animal stuffed with meat, minced, flavoured and mixed with oatmeal and boiled. The etymology is obscure. The French boudin occurs in the Scottish original sense at the same time as poding (13th century) in English. Boudin has been connected with Italian boldone and Latin botulus, sausage, but the origins of these words are quite doubtful. Attempts have been made to find the origin in a stem pud-, to swell, cf. “podgy,” L. Ger. Pudde-wurst, black-pudding, &c.
# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Pudukkottai

See also Pudukkottai State on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​PUDUKKOTTAI, a state of southern India, in subordination to Madras, lying between the British districts of Tanjore and Madura. Area, 1100 sq. m. Pop. (1901), 380,440, showing an increase of 2% in the decade. The state consists mainly of an undulating plain, nowhere of great fertility and in many parts barren; it is interspersed with rocky hills, especially in the south-west. Granite and laterite are quarried, red ochre is worked, and silk and cotton fabrics, bell-metal vessels and perfumes are among the principal manufactures. There is also some export trade in groundnuts and tanning bark. The chief, whose title is tondaman, is of the Kallan or robber caste. His ancestors received a grant of territory for loyal services to the British during the wars in the Carnatic at the end of the 18th century. Estimated gross revenue, £80,000; no tribute. The state has for some years past been well administered under a council, with a representative assembly. The town of Pudukkottai had a population in 1901 of 20,347. It is well laid out, and contains several fine new buildings.
# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Puebla (city)

See also Puebla, Puebla on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​PUEBLA (full title La Puebla de los Angeles, and more recently, Puebla de Zaragoza), a city of Mexico and capital of the state of the same name, on the banks of the Atoyac river, 60 m. S.E. of the city of Mexico, with which it is connected by two lines of railway. Pop. (1900), 93,152, including a large percentage of Indians. Its railway connexions put it in daily communication with the national capital, Vera Cruz, Pachuca, Oaxaca, and the terminal ports of the Tehuantepec railway—Coatzacoalcos and Salina Cruz. The city is built on a broad healthy plain, about 7200 ft. above sea-level. It is well provided with street railways, electric and gas illumination, water and drainage. The great Doric cathedral, about 165×320 ft., is perhaps the finest ecclesiastical building in Latin America. It was begun about 1552, but not completed until 1649. Among other churches, famous for their lavish decorations, are those of San José, San Cristobal, Santa Catarina and San Domingo. The “Teatro Principal,” built in 1790, is said to be the oldest existing theatre on the continent. There are two other theatres, and an immense bull-ring. Among the more conspicuous public buildings are the palace of justice, the building of the state legislature, a school of medicine to which is attached the Palafoxiana Library of over 100,000 volumes, an academy of fine arts, and the national college. At Fort Guadalupe, near the city, there are several hot sulphur springs, which are used for medicinal baths. Puebla is one of the busiest manufacturing cities in Mexico, and among its products are cotton and woollen textiles, soap, glass, straw hats, pottery and leather goods. There are also some large foundries.
Puebla was founded in 1532 by Sebastian Ramirez de Fuenleal, archbishop of Santo Domingo, and the celebrated Franciscan friar Toribio Motolinia. In 1550 it became the see of the bishopric originally created in 1526 at Tlaxcala. The appellation “de los Angeles,” which is now practically dropped, originated in a popular belief that during the building of the cathedral two angels every night added as much to the height of the walls as the workmen had completed on the preceding day. Its present title was given in honour of General Ignacio Zaragoza (1829-1862), who successfully defended the city against the first French attack in 1862. It was captured in the following year by the French, and then by the Mexicans under Porfirio Diaz in 1867. In the war between Mexico and the United States it was captured by General Winfield Scott and was his headquarters from June to August 1847.
# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Publilius Syrus

See also Publilius Syrus on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​PUBLILIUS (less correctly Publius) SYRUS, a Latin writer of mimes, flourished in the 1st century B.C. He was a native of Syria and was brought as a slave to Italy, but by his wit and talent he won the favour of his master, who freed and educated him. His mimes, in which he acted himself, had a great success in the provincial towns of Italy and at the games given by Caesar in 46 B.C. Publilius was perhaps even more famous as an improvisatory, and received from Caesar himself the prize in a contest in which he vanquished all his competitors, including the celebrated Decimus Laberius. All that remains of his works is a collection of Sentences (Sententiae), a series of moral maxims in iambic and trochaic verse. This collection must have been made at a very early date, since it was known to Aulus Gellius in the 2nd century A.D. Each maxim is comprised in a single verse, and the verses are arranged in alphabetical order according to their initial letters. In course of time the collection was interpolated with sentences drawn from other writers, especially from apocryphal writings of Seneca; the number of genuine verses is about 700. They include many pithy sayings, such as the famous "judex damnatur ubi nocens absolvitur" (adopted as its motto by the Edinburgh Review).
The best texts of the Sentences are those of E. Wölfflin (1869) A. Spengel (1874) and W. Meyer (1880), with complete critical apparatus and index verborum; recent editions with notes by O. Friedrich (1880), R. A. H. Bickford-Smith (1895), with full bibliography; see also W. Meyer, Die Sammlungen der Spruchverse des Publilius Syrus (1877), an important work.
# 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Puccini, Giacomo

See also Giacomo Puccini on Wikipedia; and our 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica disclaimer.
​PUCCINI, GIACOMO (1858–), Italian operatic composer, was born at Lucca, of a family already distinguished in music; his great-great-grandfather Giacomo, great-grandfather Antonio, grandfather Domenico, and father Michele, being all well known in the art. He was educated at the Milan Conservatoire, and in 1884 his opera Le Villi was performed at the Teatro del Verme. In 1889 his Edgar was performed at La Scala, and in 1893 his Manon Lescaut in Turin. But it was the production of La Bohème in 1896 that made him famous, and this opera had a great success everywhere. Tosca followed in 1900, and in 1904 Madama Butterfly confirmed the highest opinions of his talent.
