LITERATURE.
Although we have been more tardy than some of 09
contemporaries in taking up the new number of the.
Westminster Review, it is not because we are less struck
by the merit and variety of the articles. We shall take
an early opportunity of noticing the very able article on
Radical Reform ; in the meantime, we present on*
readers with an English version of some 'tenni
of Frisian poetry, written with a warmth and kindly
feeling, seldom found among foreign bards, for the emi.
nent poets of this country. We think there is not much
difficulty in tracing, in these spirited lines, the author
of the Russian and Polish Anthologies, so deservedly
popular in the literary and reading world :
•
To Anglo Saxon blood so near allied
The Frisian with your reverence. mverence briar
To your great Alfred; sharing in your pride,
When Cadman, Shakspeare, or when Milton sings;
Their song sound sweetly. as when Gysbert's strains
Are sung by thee! whose verse midst English friends.
For foreign hymns a welcoming audit gains;
And Friesland's genius with thine England's blends.
Thou had seen Friesland—Friesland least thou known,
Who but seen many a land. sued many a tongue;
All have their faults and virtues; we oar own ;
si
Yet know to good the Frian heart is strong.
And Friesland sheds its rays of per/ bright.
Has had—has still, bow many a noble name!
Names that have shone like stars tbro mist and glen,
Sacred to memory's records and to fame.
Thou bast seen this--see here tby Shakspeare stand,
Uttering in Frisian words his tuneful thought ;
Stretch to a Frisian brother friendship's hand,
Oh, as a stranger pus thy Sbakspesre not.
While courtly cunning, and State treachery
Divide and murder nations-0 may art.
May science, blend mankind in Unity,
And glad with light and favour every heart.
