PLEASANT HISTORY.

ROBERT the Brave.
FROM THEFRI#<&
. [Cm4ra^
THIS youth, whom we may con
fider as one of the most ancient
troubadours, had been brought
up in the quality of a page in the
palace of the counts of Toulouse.
His zeal to serve Azelais had ofc
:^^.^
Ls beauty but the immense dif
france which he Was separated
from her had not permitted hope
L arise in his heart. His wit,
Ed feverai pieces of poetry, of
me tender and plantive kind,
Lilar to those in which love in
spired the unfortunate Sapplis,
End bestowed on him fame ; but
ffhe fad and silent grief which he
[appeared the prey of, rendered
Lhim still more noticed. In vain
■were all endeavours to diffipatel
[the gloom that hung over him,
Lnd , still more in vain ,every at
rcmpt to discover his secret,
■which he never difcloied. Daily
Waiting like a plant that withers
■beneath the rays of the scorching
[fun he at length began to revive
■when the count of Toulouse un
[dertook a new war against one of
Ibis neighbors. He then seemed
[ aduated by no paQlon but the
I love of glory. After having ob-
Itained the command of a body of
Emtn, he followed the troops of
■the count. Scarcely had he ar
■rived in presence of the enemy,
■ when he fufhed, like lightning,
[into the midst of them. He pref.
lently fell ; and his soldiers, who
I hastened to his assistance, having
repulsed those from whom he
received the mortal blow, ob
tained from this success only the
melancholy advantage of being
able to carry off his body.
After he was brought lifelefs
to the camp, it was dikov^ed
that he had on only armour of
parade, incapable of defending;
him under his too feeble currafs ;
they found near his heart two
plates of gold, fuipended by a
chain of the fame metal. A blow
with a lance had separated them,
;and within appeared an ingen,
ipufly wrought device, represent :
ing a solitude and a rock round
which a cupid was entwining
flowers in such a manner as toi
form the two letters A and Z.
The fame cupid held his filletin
his hands which he spread over,
the rest of the name as if to con
ceal it from all eyes. The cy
pher and the atdor with which
he had fought death, recalled the
recollection of some stanzas that
he frequently fang, and accom
panied with the harp ; the fub
je& of which was a resolution e
ternally to conceal a passion, the
objea f which was too elevated
to admit hope, and.to seek relief
only in death.
Curiosity soon exerted every
means to penetrate a secret cov
ered with the veil of death. The
two letters of the cypher begin
ning the name of Azelais remind
ed the enquirers of the eagerness
he had constantly displayed to
serve that beauteous lady; and it
was then no longer doubted that,
cherishing a hopeless passion, he
had fought death to terminate
his fufferings.
These circumstances and con
je&ures at length reached the ears
of Azelais. Her innocent and
pure heart had never known love
—she shuddered when she learn
ed for the firft time that it might
produce such calamitous effects,
and then began her inclination^
to retirement and solitude. The
i
leisure moments which her re
treat from society procured her,
ffie employed in cultivating those
talents which nature had liberally
bestowed upon her.
The remembrance of the bards,
their poems, and their songs of
victory were still recent in the
country of Touloule, where the
druids had formerly established
one of their most celebrated col
, leges. '
The bards had long been the
only dispensers of glory. The
knights, who regretted these com.
memorators of warlike exploits,
loaded with rewards and honors ;
thole who endeavoured to supply
their place ; and their emulation
had produced the trovers or trou
badours.
The harps of the ancient bards
were again revived ; they were
to be found in almost every cattle,
and, during the lon^ evenings of
winter, the company collected
round their fires to listen to frag,
ments of histories which had been
preserved by tradition. If the
wind did but (lightly agitate the
firings of a harp, and produce
some harmonious and lengthen
ed tones, the whole audience
were irifpired with a kind of re
ligious enthusiasm, similar to that
which animated the ancient Gauls
at hearing the fame founds.
Like them they were inclined to
believe, tl\at the warriors (lain in
the battle, and the ancestors of
families, came to revive their
memory in the minds of their
kindred and friends, by invifi,
bly touching their harmonious
harps.x
To this instrument the beaute
ous Azelais would frequently sing
the stanzas of the unfortunate
youth, whose story we have above
related ; and while, with agile
fingers, she swept the (peaking
firings, her foul dissolved in gen
tle sensibility at the remembrance
of his fate.
(To be continued.)
